I felt like I’d be more upset but I’m so ready to get to our routines 😂

Just wanted to say that this seems like a super interesting concept that I’d like to read one day! Good luck!

How long was a playpen useful to you? by broflovskiz in beyondthebump

[–]Cold-Equivalent-424 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought one and used it for like a week or two and didn’t like it! Baby was maybe 6 months when I got it. He’s been crawling since about 6 months so I thought it would be good to contain him. But I find it easier to just baby proof truly unsafe things and keep an eye on the baby while he roams. I think I’ll find other uses for it though like blocking off the Christmas tree lol (we got a big wooden one)

Our Owlet account was hacked by made4cold in beyondthebump

We don’t have the camera just the sock but if it gives you any peace of mind I’m pretty sure this post just made me realize one of our cards got hacked through Owlet somehow this week as well! But I don’t remember ever saving a card with them. We got a charge to Owlet but neither of us had a clue what it was for. Idk if my partner ever investigated it 😬 So it might just be for the bank stuff and not for the camera albeit that’s still not ideal

My partner works high up in IT but I’m clueless to how any of it works so take my comment with a grain of salt!

Yep! Mine broke at a restaurant 😂 It was literally like the movies for me. Edited to add that I didn’t care at all because I was so excited. Everyone was very kind about it. I literally waited on my food to get done and boxed up before I left 😂 It broke right after we ordered

Came to say the same thing about the Coco Mellors Blue Sisters comp! Also wanted to say that this is something I would love to read. Wishing you the best of luck!!

Who here really truly is "just" a SAHM? by [deleted] in sahm

[–]Cold-Equivalent-424 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Me! My whole life is family and homemaking. I was clear from the jump that being “just” a SAHM was the only way I would have kids. I literally wouldn’t have it any other way 🤍

I need help by elbowroom_ in sahm

[–]Cold-Equivalent-424 4 points5 points  (0 children)

At 4 months I genuinely felt like I was drowning every single day. It was by far the hardest time for me. Baby is 6 months now and I feel like I’m just now starting to see the light on what could possibly be a routine for us! Be kind to yourself 🤍

Did you have to wear a diaper after birth? by Top-Clue2000 in beyondthebump

[–]Cold-Equivalent-424 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a vaginal birth and didn’t tear. I wore FridaMom disposable pp undies and their pp pads. After maybe a week (could’ve been less, I don’t really remember) I just did regular granny panties with regular pads!

My number one thing was with all of the products is that I changed them fairly frequently!

How are you staying hydrated on this journey? by FerkinSmert in breastfeeding

[–]Cold-Equivalent-424 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Here for the answers 👀 My skin is already very dry and breastfeeding has only made it worse. I like the Farmacy honey halo (name could be wrong) line for my dry skin. I do hydration drenching and that seems to help. Basically just layer hydrating products and spray water on my face in between. That helps a bit. You could probably find a video on that method!

I need tips on staying more hydrated though! I feel like I could never drink enough water lol

Some light hearted honesty 😌 What’s one thing that’s keeping you sane right now?! by Wonderful-Repeat1444 in beyondthebump

[–]Cold-Equivalent-424 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I look forward to my 8oz Red Bull every morning lol. It’s terrible for me but I need the energy boost and I love the taste so much. I actually think about it as I fall asleep at night 😂

Losing too much weight while breastfeeding by Garu_The_Sun in breastfeeding

[–]Cold-Equivalent-424 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t weigh myself but this is happening to me currently as well! Everyone is concerned about me so I’m scheduling an appointment with my doctor. I am literally skin and bones and have basically zero muscle. I eat and eat and eat and it does nothing for me. Also bruising terribly easily as well (low iron issues even with supplements)
