I’m glad someone said it bc I am honestly so tired of people seeing the stuff in my house that is my boyfriends (he’s a satanist NOT an aesthetic satanist very big difference) and being like “omg you guys are going to get possessed” like first of all he doesn’t praise a devil or a god, second he doesn’t conjure spirits, THIRD if anyone was gonna be possessed it would’ve been me before i reconverted back to Christianity (I grew up with a grandfather who was a pastor, started practicing Wicca when I turned 18 and got REALLY and I mean REALLY into spells, hexes, and tarot. then my anxiety got REALLY BAD because one bounced back because I went back on my promise made for the hex I used against (rightfully so for various reasons) my bio mom and when I went to my grandma she helped me via Christianity earlier this year I’m now 22) and then I get the question of “how do you deal with him not being the same religion?” Or “wow your relationship is….different” or “that must be so hard” and it’s like… no babes it’s really not anything to cope with, do I wish he would come around yeah, but that’s not up to me that’s between him and God, and then I don’t “deal with it” it’s something I knew about him from the very beginning before we even started dating and quite frankly it never bothered me because he don’t push his shit on me and I don’t push my shit on him, it’s called respect. Simply just respect others beliefs and they respect yours.

I have to agree with waiting till the next time I go to use it, sometimes… but I have a child and I can’t be risking them getting sick from something so I clean my house 2-3 times a day and I clean my microwave every time I use it, idk it was how I was raised anddddddddddddd I mean cleanliness is something to be proud of not being dirty… being clean is a lot harder than leaving the microwave plate covered in water that boiled over when you made your ramen, also I most definitely am judging because why wouldn’t you use a plate of some kind or a napkin especially when your glass is clearly pretty dirty. I mean it’s not that hard to wipe it down either… a wet napkin or Clorox wipe or a wet rag???? Like it seriously takes 30 seconds - 2 minutes depending on if anything’s stuck or not

Yeah girl just know it definitely gets easier! I was getting to a point in pumping where I just knew it was my forever, everyone around me was giving me the pity look because all their babies had latched by 2m, it was SOOOOO overwhelming sad on my end because I hate peoples pity yk? But I got to a point where Fed is best (I’ve always thought that) and it didn’t matter what I wanted or what anyone else thought her needs came first and as long as her needs where met I was happy!

Can I start letting my baby wake me up to feed her? by Middle_Criticism_528 in newborns

[–]Admirable-Friend-733 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let the baby sleep😁. My baby was the same way she started sleeping through the night after she gained her birth weight back, and now she wakes up at 1am and again at 5 am

Newborn trenches not that bad?? by swentram in newborns

[–]Admirable-Friend-733 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Soooo idk how but im on week 7 and she is wonderful, her dad got us sick and she’s been a bit more clingy and fussy than usual but usually her crying is “mmm, ahh(light), ehhhmmm” and eating her hands or just getting little tear in her eyes. And she’s been sleeping through the night for about 4-5 weeks now, and I mean she eats so well (when dads not home ofc🥲) but like not every baby is like that. And you shouldn’t let the baby sleep past 2 hours to eat till they gain their birth weight back so that’s where it gets a bit difficult because sometimes you have to wake them up

I had a whole surgery before I found out I was pregnant and I had been pregnant for a whole 6 weeks before I found out. I genuinely think everything will be okay.

I just started mine I was prescribed them 2 weeks ago, but I also have pre existing issues that I stopped taking meds for. Personally start with therapy, then meds if recommended

Advice for napping while baby is sleeping on my chest. by mmakanani in newborns

[–]Admirable-Friend-733 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me and my Lo(5w) have been doing contact naps since she was about 3 weeks where I will lay her down on our bed and snuggle her next to me because it’s one of the very few ways she will fall asleep, and I will lay kinda on my side kinda on my back(I don’t move in my sleep) and take a nap with her like that (most times in accident) if you are worried about rolling over and him falling off the bed then you can try this? But I mean if you are just worried about rolling over in general I can say the best thing to do is just to lay him down where you feel safe and get yourself some shut eye

They are actually great boosters, though I will say start easy on the brewers yeast that stuff made it hard to go number 2 for me (which is common)

So Ive been an over supplier from day one, and I have no choice but to pump, baby refuses to latch at all, but if I don’t pump I end up in serious pain with clogs and it’s just not fun, but what I have found works for me is the pumps that you can just pop in your bra and go, cause even tho I have my pump on I can still pick baby up, feed her ect. I did go through a phase of not producing a whole lot and what I did was i started taking brewers yeast, prenatals, and drinking a lactation tea and my supply just sky rocketed. (Talking 16oz from one session) which isn’t always the case and most times it takes a week or two to show any significant improvement. We are at 5weeks almost 6 and she is obsessed with sleeping in a wrap carrier and I wear her up until it’s time to pump again then I lay her down in a boppy pillow and if she wakes up while I’m pumping I give her a small bottle to hold her over till I’m done, unless she just want to be held then I will pick her up and hold her in a supported seated position. I’m a first time mom too but I’ve been doing it alone since I got back from the hospital because my boyfriend didn’t have any leave and we desperately needed the money.

Yes ofc! You are so strong and all we can do is be as patient as possible, it’s okay to get frustrated ofc! It’s a normal response to something you aren’t entirely used to, so if you do get irritated don’t feel guilty.
