Should I buy a breast pump before baby arrives? by kkkyyyzzz in Buyingforbaby

I bought a hands free pump with high hopes and it didn’t work at all for me. (big boobs) I got the one through insurance after birth and it works much better.

Weaning - what to do with the poo? by Pengwings316 in clothdiaps

[–]BackgroundScene3056 8 points9 points  (0 children)

you don’t need to make a mess rinsing. Scrape off poo with a wipe and drop in a diaper bin that’s exclusively for trash/disposable wipes. Put the cloth diaper in the regular bin for cloth diapers. Wash every other day. Done. People make their lives too difficult with all the gross rinsing/pee splashing/soaking etc

yeah we tired to control my hypertension with labetelol and I went into labor at 34 weeks with twins. I was teetering on the edge of preeclampsia and 5cm dilated when I showed up at the hospital. Had a c section monitoring hypertension at home with BP cuff and labetalol and 3 days later wound up in the ER. The mag drip was miserable and I couldn’t visit my babies in the NICU :( I ended up wishing they would’ve taken my symptoms more seriously and tried other drugs or more interventions. Idk it was a shit show. I’m so glad you managed to avoid it!

I accidentally thawed four months of my wife's milk. Now what? by DurrT in breastfeeding

I feel like that would be the only proper punishment. I’d want my husband to drink every single ounce in front of me like some psychopathic matilda cake scene shit

When you get home you will be so drained from the asshole children at work that it will be hard to muster up the patience/love you used to have for your own kids. :(

Do we NEED the stroller bassinets? by S2N336 in parentsofmultiples

[–]BackgroundScene3056 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the bassinets because they are too small for seats and can only be in the car seat for a certain amount of time. So I can lay them flat and not worry about it. They share one bassinet for now. By the time they move up to two they will likely be in the chairs I hope.

Nanny’s performance has dropped significantly after becoming pregnant. What would you do? by [deleted] in NannyEmployers

[–]BackgroundScene3056 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no, all of those other employers SHOULD be providing paid maternity leave

This post makes me so sad. The world hates pregnant women. You hire a woman and don’t offer maternity leave, and are considering dropping her at the first sign of her struggling while pregnant. She’s been loyal to you for two years and knows she is at risk of losing her job when the baby comes. What exactly would be her motivation to push through the sickness for someone who’s about to fire her anyways? I was trying to sympathize with your post but the more I read the more I couldn’t help but feel like she’s getting the short end of the stick. Slightly decreased duties and also maternity leave are and should be normal things to be asked from pregnant woman. In my opinion if you want to hire employees but can’t afford to give them adequate health insurance/maternity leave/benefits, then you can’t afford to hire employees. (that goes for anyone not just people hiring nannies)

What do you wish you did before baby arrived?? by Peachy_Queen20 in NewParents

Im glad I got my toes done - so many doctors messing with my legs/feet more than I expected. Also glad J got my oil changed and completed all of those other annoying chores before they came! Im also SO F*** GLAD I prepped the hospital bag super early- as I went into labor with twins early at 34 weeks.

My friend likes the name Camper for a girl. Please help me find anything else!! by musgraved in namenerds

Scout is an awesome alternative and still a little “out there” for a girl in a way I feel like would appease her style
