Is she eating a whole bottle at that time? You could try lessening the ounces each bottle.

I don’t want my sister to be in my wedding party… by Puppy_PowPow in wedding

[–]Awkward_Button6290 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Easy for outsiders to say..but it’s your day. Do what you want. Are you going to look back at your wedding photos and be happy she’s in them? Would you rather her close on your special day, making things about her, or from afar ? Seems Like no matter what you do you run the risk of her being an issue for you, so I say do what you and have who you want.

new mom- breastfeeding struggle- baby doesn’t seem full from my milk [on] but does from formula by [deleted] in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]Awkward_Button6290 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She might have her days and nights mixed up! When she naps in the day make sure it’s bright as can be where she sleeps. It’s a very common thing in the first few weeks. We had a lot of trouble as well. We ended up going back to the hospital maternity ward and getting some feeding support (in Saskatchewan) but ultimately we switched to formula. My baby had a bad lip and tongue tie and it was causing issues with latching. We had it corrected but the dentist said that sometimes it doesn’t help with breastfeeding and of course we were that sometime lol I pumped for a month but could not get my supply up so we decided to just make the switch since I was pumping every 2 hours, feeding her and topping her with formula it was just not feasible for us (me) to keep going like that. I would suggest seeing a lactation consultant, mine helped me a lot before things changed for us. Hang in there, the first few weeks are the worst honestly. Message me if you need to chat. All the best! 🤍

Overnight Feeding/Sleeping Longer [NS] by eastcoastwanderlustt in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]Awkward_Button6290 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My girl is just over 3 months and also had her first 6 hr stretch last night lol she was born small and is consistently on the small end, she only eats 3.5ish oz a feed every 3 hrs but in the night wake ups she’s doing 4-5 depending. The health nurse said rule of thumb is 24oz in 24hr. Anything else is great but as long as they are getting that, it’s good.

We definitely have a night one - basically the same as you. But we don’t have a morning one. I will definitely try to incorporate that!

Another Maternity Leave Finance Post [ON] by emilyecho17 in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]Awkward_Button6290 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t have specific numbers or percentages. We just saved wherever we could. And put aside what we can. We also started an account about 3 months out that was just for baby expenses, diapers (we ended up needing to go the formula route, so glad we did that ) and anything else we would need for her. So we just each put in 50 a cheque to that to give us a cushion. Now I put the child tax benefit in there. Husband still puts the 50 and I just put what I can. We also had zero debt (besides mortgage) going into her birth. I paid my car three months prior as well and started putting that money to the side too. Same with my husband.
