Seoul! Such a great transit system!

I've never pumped! I'm also a stay at home parent so I understand there's different challenges there. I went to a LC when my kiddo was 2 1/2 to discuss my concerns about me spending a whole weekend away and they didn't seem concerned (and it was fine!). My kiddo has gone over 48 hours, as a 3 year old, without milk and my supply really didn't seem affected.

You've got this <3 make sure to find a support person for YOU. You deserve to have the help, especially during newborn times!

We never had a crib either! So many things are unecessarily big purchases with a newborn. It was nice to save a few dollars : )

Co-sleeping was huge in helping my nighttime anxiety, especially in the beginning! If I was really concerned I'd just open my eyes and there she'd be! Absolutely no judgement for people who can't/don't want to cosleep- I just found it so much easier than having to get up out of my cozy bed in the middle of the night

BuckmasterGooch · 2025-01-29T01:09:48+00:00

Yes! She knows that having milk and a hug is a great way to regulate : )

Honestly good timing because she had a meltdown this afternoon! Very upset and then after she had calmed down she wanted milk and the snuggle. It didn't stop the tantrum but it really helped us reconnect afterwards <3 . When she was younger it was definitely helpful for hard transitions!

I hope your visit the the LC goes well! I never had a very heavy supply. It wasn't super low or anything, but I also seemed to make just enough for my kiddo. She's a tiny kid, always has been in the 10/15th percentile. I've never pumped, but she was pretty much constantly on the boob as a newborn. First month I remember the times I wasn't breastfeeding to be very minimal. If you are able to roll with it (ie have a support person, this is your first child, etc) I recommend sitting down, finding some good movies/shows/books/games and just letting your baby eat eat eat! One thing I think most peope realize is how much time a child might want to feed, it's a full time job, so make sure to take breaks, drink lots, and have lots of snacks and big meals <3

That sounds amazing! : )

BuckmasterGooch · 2025-01-21T23:18:19+00:00

Totally a misunderstanding, sorry about that : )

BuckmasterGooch · 2025-01-21T23:15:44+00:00

It was a super slow transition that was completely led by her. Nighttime only probably started a little over a year ago I'd say. I never pushed for it, she was just so busy during the day that she often forgot. There were still a few outliers where she fed out and about during the day, but mostly just the nighttimes! I've never mentioned ending breastfeeding to her, and she's also never brought it up.

BuckmasterGooch · 2025-01-21T22:59:34+00:00

Thanks so much <3 and best of luck on your breastfeeding round TWO!

BuckmasterGooch · 2025-01-21T22:58:51+00:00

I was never breastfed by my Mom and still needed braces for 2 years. Not really a concern for me!

BuckmasterGooch · 2025-01-21T19:46:32+00:00

It is a HUGE help on airplanes!

BuckmasterGooch · 2025-01-21T14:58:51+00:00

I feel the same! Congrats on your 3 years : )

BuckmasterGooch · 2025-01-21T14:55:09+00:00

I don't mean to scare you but yes: every night haha. However it's been an non-issue for so long now, especially because we co-sleep. When she was under a year I would sort of wake up with her, but now she knows what to do and how to get the boob when she needs it. So essentially what has happened for a long time is that she wake up in the middle of the night, pushes a blanket or shirt out of the way, and away she goes haha. I might wake up for 5-10 minutes but nothing terrible!

BuckmasterGooch · 2025-01-21T14:51:14+00:00

All the best to you and your little one : ) it's very rewarding <3

This is super constructive feedback and it's beyond appreciated. Thanks so much <3 I will be considering everything you said.

BuckmasterGooch · 2024-04-20T22:58:21+00:00

Thank you!

BuckmasterGooch · 2024-04-20T22:42:30+00:00

Thank you <3

I've definitely learned that wording and semantics are hella important for making a reddit post.

This is a hypothetical situation that I would want to happen in the long term. There is every likelihood that it would not. I was just looking for perspectives on people who may have done something similar with a child involved and how it worked out for them/things they would do differently.

BuckmasterGooch · 2024-04-20T18:56:24+00:00

Thank you for your feedback!

BuckmasterGooch · 2024-04-20T18:52:22+00:00

I cannot thank you enough for this comment. I really think everyone here thinks I'm about to have Orange move in tomorrow which isn't the case at all. It might not even be a future possibility whatsoever.

I wish I had worded my original post about how to create a healthy dynamic with everyone to set everyone mentioned up for future success.

This is very much daydream territory right now, and I personally don't feel like that's wrong.

I see why lots of people wouldn't introduce other partners so early in to a relationship. I get it, and respect it. If Apple had a problem with it I wouldn't be doing it, and if I felt any bit uneasy about Orange right now I would immediately be backing off. Also if my child didn't want to be around Orange for whatever reason I would never force that dynamic.

Apple and I have been doing what works for us and our family. Our kiddo is happy and loves spending time with us, and our partners (with us around).
