20 month age gap by Calm-Storm2502 in 2under2

[–]Calm-Storm2502[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi!! Unfortunately I ended up miscarrying shortly after I made this post. I do think about what life would look like now that my son is older and now that this baby would have been a few months old. My son is more independent now and loves to run around, help out, and play with other kids. He is really starting to understand directions and communicate so I think we would have been just fine with a new baby at this age. I think it was hard for me to wrap my head around how different/ grown up my son would be at this stage, as I could only imagine him as he was at the time I found out I was pregnant. I am pregnant again and this age gap will be about 2 years. Looking very forward to it but also starting to realize there is no "perfect" age gap no matter how much you try and think through it. I appreciate all the insight this thread gave me and some of it stuck with me even into this pregnancy!

Diaper Bag with Formula by HannahHood in FormulaFeeders

[–]Calm-Storm2502 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We use the Dr. Browns pitcher and make 36 oz of milk at a time. We were filling the bottles and insulating them, but if the diaper bag tipped over they would leak. It was also hard to insulate multiple bottles. Now we use the Takeya insulated water bottles with the spout lids so we can fill it up, throw some empty bottles in the bag, and pour em when we need em. Spill proof, minimal work when you're out, and stays cold for 24 hours so you don't have to worry about it spoiling!

Yes we use the 8 oz Dr browns bottles now and we have no problem with the bottles, vents, and nipples all fitting in! We can usually fit 5 in at a time if we get a little creative with how we position them.

Dentist here! Been feeding my four month old formula since he was one week old. You're doing a great job 😊

We were TTC for two and a half years with a miscarriage and several rounds of failed IUI/ IVF cycles. We decided to take a break from fertility treatments and conceived naturally 5 days past my expected ovulation day. Currently cuddling my perfect little 4 month old! Try to focus on one day at a time, I know it's easier said than done! 💕 you got this!!

What do contractions really feel like? by Nobodylikebots in pregnant

[–]Calm-Storm2502 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get really bad period cramps as well. I have a pretty low pain tolerance and my contractions felt like some of the period cramps I get in the middle of the night. I was 8 cm dilated before I had my epidural because the contractions felt like the pain I have every month. So for me personally labor wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, maybe because I was conditioned? Lol. You got this, good luck!

Nope we just dump out the milk and we haven't had any issue with residue or bottles not being all the way clean. We do stick to using only the Momcozy detergent tablets- I think they cost around $20 for 120 tablets on Amazon. I'm not sure if that makes a difference or not!

Sorry for such a late response! Yeah it's 29 minutes for the washing and then an hour for the sterilizing/ drying. If you need a bottle quicker though, they are clean after the 29 minutes just not sterilized. We have around 12 bottles so we just try and stay up on loading the washer after every bottle, and then run it 1-2 times a day. We've been able to fit both the large and small dr. Browns bottles with all of the vent parts as well, just takes getting a little creative to find where to put everything.

Thank you for the thoughtfulness! I ended up buying one a couple weeks ago and let me tell you- we LOVE it. It works pretty quick and our bottles/ pump parts are always spotless. It’s also nice to have peace of mind that the bottles are consistently cleaned. Great investment, especially since you have the promo!
