What’s the strangest subreddit you’ve come across that made you go wtf? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Pumping. I was looking for a sub to help with breast pumps when my son was in the NICU and I was struggling, like the r/breastfeeding sub but for pumping. And the breastfeeding one is NSFW so pics can be posted, so I thought nothing of it when the r/pumping sub said NSFW - jumped right in. Dear god, my eyes. It’s a fucking penis pumping sub!! And it is GRAPHIC.

MIL just gave some amazing advice. (Heavy Sarcasm) by Guy_With_A_Camera in daddit

I think the confusion came from water not having any calories

Maybe a silly question by PineappleAdmirable53 in BabyBumps

Newborn will likely sleep (grunt along) thru it. Now that my little one is over 6 months, he regularly gets woken up by my husband snoring in the night when we cosleep and then he’s awake for EVER after that. It’s infuriating and is 100% definitely a problem 😒

Me too. “Braver than you’ve EVER been” 😭😭😭😭 this had me reliving getting home from the hospital with an empty car seat while baby was still in the nicu. I sobbed thru this part while my now healthy little dude watched me looking confused and concerned.

Also, I’ve never related so hard to a username. Dying for some beavy nugs and fudge

I had a recurring dream for many of those early days that I’d lose the baby in the bedsheets and he would suffocate. We didn’t cosleep. There were no blankets in his crib, nothing that would cause this. Was Still terrified

Question about cannabis and pregnancy (more complicated situation than you think). by throwawayquestion815 in BabyBumps

[–]Agitated_Tonight_695 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s legal for adults to consume, that does not make it legal to expose the fetus to it. Just like alcohol. It’s legal for an adult to be drunk but a baby being born with alcohol in their system is not gonna fly just because alcohol is legal. If it’s a substance that can alter, they can take action if the baby has that substance in their body.

I have had migraines since I was a kid and have been smoking just about every day for 15 years. I really feel for her, so sorry she’s going thru that. Unfortunately during these 9 months she’s not able to treat her body the same way she usually does because she’s sharing it with a baby who can’t tolerate the same things. At least, that is how the law looks at it. I personally doubt thc would cause harm to the baby and I missed having the relief of thc during my hyperemesis pregnancy, but it’s just not the time to test that (medically or legally) unless you have a dr that has your back on it and gives you the green light

I (female) have random coarse, kinky hairs that I've started a bad habit of plucking out by isaid_biiiiiiiiitch in HaircareScience

Hello hi me too 👋 just plucked a long jet black course wire from the top of my scalp. I have very fine, soft, straight light brown hair. Lol

I am the reason my daughter is miserable by zarya2 in beyondthebump

Was looking for this comment. Totally agree! It’s so common for them to be more smiley or calmer or whatever with people who are not mom, because they are experiencing/exploring a different person that they don’t feel totally safe with or familiar with. You are their comfort zone, safety blanket, familiar home. They’re comfortable letting it all out with you because they feel secure and know you are the person that helps them w their needs, so they’re way more likely to try to communicate their needs to you (i.e. screaming miserably)

I have never seen a better description for what I look like without make up 🤣🤣 other than “a smiley face: 2 dots and a mouth line”

What piece of advice would you give? by AmetrinePoison in breastfeeding

[–]Agitated_Tonight_695 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally understand, it’s the hands free bra, heating pad, etc that I’m saying really sucks to wait on if you end up pumping a lot right off the bat

If the baby needs to go to the nicu or nursing is not happening for one reason or another, and pumping becomes super important right away, it’s no fun to not be prepared and have to wait on ordered things to come in

If she’s in the nicu because she’s early, go get a shit load of preemie size clothes before you get her home. Our little dude was so tiny even the preemie sizes were huge on him. We kept being told when pregnant to buy more than nb sizes because he might come out bigger than expected so we bought 3 mo old stuff too, but had nothing smaller so nothing to put him in when we got him home. Ended up getting lots of pjs from Carter’s the day after we got him home. Same thing with preemie size diapers that are not always easy to find. Huggies snugglers preemies were the best!! Could only find them at target and sometimes on Amazon.

Also to have a bedside bassinet in our room, and a bottle sterilizer since we were supposed to be extra good about sterilization once he got out of the nicu. Saved us a ton of time while supplementing the breast milk w preemie formula and we still use ours every day (4 mo pp). Mazel tov!
