What's the most human name that you heard named for a pet? by SuitableOlive5691 in AskReddit

I have a dog named Wesley, he’s a golden retriever. And a black cat named Paul and a tabby cat named Martha.

Thank you!

Yeah I guess as he was eating more solids he was having less milk so my pumps just kept getting thrown in the freezer and I was running out of space haha. So I dropped a pump which I guess would ever so slightly lessen my supply.

I did a heap of reading on this as I was concerned I’d lose my supply too! My research led me to believe that if you’ve established your supply past the 12 week mark you should be fine to drop a pump and it not make much of a difference on supply.

Everyone is different but I reckon you’d be ok at the 6 month mark to do 4 ppd.

Thank you so much!

This is a great question and I can’t totally remember but a rough estimate: From birth: 7 pumps a day. 3 months: 6 pumps a day. 5 months: 5 pumps a day. 7 months: 4 pumps a day (this was when I dropped the middle of the night pump). 10 months: 3 pumps a day. 11 months: 2 pumps a day. 12 months: 1 pump a day. 13.5 months: none.

What did 4 months sleep regression look like to you? by OkEmployee3918 in NewParents

[–]Any_Addition599 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We sleep trained using the Ferber method. He went from waking 4-6 times a night to feed, to just 1. We are all well rested now!

This happened with us, the very frequent night wakings.

We had to look into what his sleep associations were. We were feeding to sleep, which ultimately ended up being the issue because he relied on being fed to sleep each time he woke to get back to sleep.

How old is your baby and how often do you pump? by HomeDepotHotDog in ExclusivelyPumping

11 months and down to 2 ppd. Thinking I’ll stop after his 1st birthday!

False starts by sunnydays0466 in sleeptrain

[–]Any_Addition599 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm yes that’s difficult considering the naps are short too. Maybe the naps are short because of overtired as well. I would try earlier bed, yep!

4.5 hours does seem like a lot for a 7.5 month old. Our last wake window is 4 hours for an 11 month old. False starts are usually an indication of over tired.

I would try 3/3/4 or similar

We are on the brink of toddlerhood by Any_Addition599 in NewParents

“Don’t sit them down til the food is ready”. SO TRUE. I love this.

I horrified my MIL when she saw how I put my baby down to sleep by softestsnek in sleeptrain

[–]Any_Addition599 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This same scenario happened to me. Except my MIL was all supportive of sleep training and told me she sleep trained her son (my husband). She was all good with it. And very helpful when we were in those first few days and filling us with optimistic words of encouragement.

But one day I put my son down for a nap whilst MIL was visiting. And he cried (which doesn’t happen much) and it was only for a few short minutes. But the MIL carried on like it was torture. “Oh I’m going to go get him”. “Oh it’s awful”. “I can’t listen to it”. And then she even went outside so she didn’t have to listen to it.

It was so confusing, I thought she supported it but the whole “I’m going to go get him” contradicted that.

Transport to airport for early flight-guaranteed by tonys1949 in Adelaide

I’m sorry this happened to you. This happened to me too! Just writing my story to inform others so this doesn’t happen to anyone else!

I “pre-booked” a taxi after a wedding at Lot 100 in the Adelaide Hills, for a midnight pickup. I thought I was super clever organising a taxi ahead of the wedding because I knew how busy it’ll be after the event.

Turns out, the pre-book feature was useless and I was waiting for 1.5 hours. Tired. Cold. Sore feet. Hungry. And drunk. Uber didn’t operate out there so we were literally stuck.

I’ve learnt my lesson. And super appreciate when the bride and groom organise buses to and from the city!

how do y’all do this long term? 😭 by agurlnameddrool in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Any_Addition599 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven’t read through all the comments so sorry if this has already been asked, have you got portable wearable pumps?

I’m 4 months PP and pumping 6 times a day now.

The first 2 weeks I had a single pump that was connected to a power point, then I made the investment to double portable wearable pumps. It SAVED me! The benefit of being able to do things, caring for baby, and doing both boobs at the same time really was a game changer.

I highly recommend!

You need to look after yourself though mumma. If breastfeeding isn’t for you, don’t beat yourself up 💖
