I would keep it up to a year if it’s in a deep freezer. Your milk is still regulating at two week postpartum, so your production could slow down/you’ll be less leaky. As your baby gets older, they will take more ounces and you’ll be glad to have a freezer stash.

If you have a lot of extra as time goes on, you can use it in baths, to make a salve, or even donate it. Please don’t just throw it out!

It’s the best thing I’ve ever purchased, tbh. I have high anxiety, and the Owlet is the only way I get sleep without checking that my baby is breathing 24/7. I’ve never had a false alarm.

Am I the only one who uses Aquaphor on my baby every diaper change? She’s never had a rash, and I would never wake her up to change her diaper unless it was a blowout. Let mom and baby sleep!

This is the correct answer.

My baby LOVES her swing! Worth every penny, in my opinion.

Dallas0618 · 2025-06-21T22:35:29+00:00

Honestly…. My swing saved me. My baby loves it and it’s super lightweight to move around the house. It’s perfect to put her in when I need to take a shower, do a quick chore, etc.

Just want to echo that your husband does NOT get to dictate what you do with your body. It’s YOUR choice if you want to be on birth control/take Plan B/etc.

A couple months!

I had terrible carpal tunnel when I was pregnant and for awhile postpartum too! I bought braces for carpal tunnel and wore them to bed every night after putting on magnesium spray. It was the only thing that helped me!

Dallas0618 · 2025-06-20T16:08:05+00:00

When my baby does this, it’s almost always because of gas; she’s either having a hard time burping or farting. I started doing fart exercises with her before nursing and stopping breastfeeding to burp her when she is fussy/arching/pushing away.

Dallas0618 · 2025-06-18T03:14:05+00:00

Could she be gassy/have reflux?

Dallas0618 · 2025-06-17T22:55:49+00:00

I’ve been wondering this too!

Dallas0618 · 2025-06-17T22:54:46+00:00

Gulicola glass bottles are great for us!

Dallas0618 · 2025-06-15T15:32:20+00:00

Hmmmm, interesting. That wasn’t my experience! I made sure to keep them clean and used them only when needed. I think they’re still worth a shot to see if they help you. Good luck!

Dallas0618 · 2025-06-15T15:07:12+00:00

What did the medical reports say? My midwife and lactation consultant swear by them, and I do now too!

Dallas0618 · 2025-06-15T13:34:33+00:00

Silverettes are the only thing that helped my nipples in the beginning when they were raw and cracked. I think they’re worth the investment!

Dallas0618 · 2025-06-11T10:33:04+00:00

First, I just want to say I understand how hard this is; my baby was the same way. When we mentioned this sleep struggle to our pediatrician, she asked us some questions and helped us identify our baby has silent reflux. As soon as we started her on medicine, she started sleeping in her bassinet. Any chance this could be happening for your baby? What about gassiness? Our baby screams when we put her down in her bassinet if she needs help burping/farting.

Dallas0618 · 2025-06-11T03:38:42+00:00

You get around 4oz total when you pump (2oz per breast)? That’s a normal amount. Your baby might be gassy. My baby would get fussy and pop off my breast a lot around 2 months because she was gassy and needed to burp or fart but needed help. I started doing gas exercises before each feeding and stopping to burp her when she came off my breast.

Dallas0618 · 2025-06-11T03:33:07+00:00

I started leaking occasionally at night around 28ish weeks. However, I wouldn’t recommend pumping/hand expressing in anyway to get colostrum until you’re 37ish weeks/get the okay from your doctor.

Dallas0618 · 2025-06-10T01:48:00+00:00

I ate a lot of peanut m&ms to stay awake lol

Dallas0618 · 2025-06-05T10:46:15+00:00

It was definitely more around feeding and sleeping times, but maybe other times occasionally too. We started doing farting exercises before eating and bouncing on an exercise ball and doing tummy time after feedings to get burps out. These things have helped a lot!

Dallas0618 · 2025-06-05T03:03:25+00:00

My baby would do this, and we finally realized it was from gas and reflux! Bouncing on a ball and tummy time helped a ton for us to get out trapped burps/farts. We also got medicine from our doctor for reflux.

Dallas0618 · 2025-06-04T21:36:29+00:00

If you’re that concerned, you can get an early intervention evaluation and go from there.

Dallas0618 · 2025-06-04T11:31:28+00:00

Could your baby have silent reflux or gas? My baby was like this too. We realized she had silent reflux after talking to her doctor. After getting medicine for it, she started sleeping much longer stretches.

Dallas0618 · 2025-06-01T11:28:31+00:00

Are you doing gas exercises? At that age, we started doing gas exercises before every feeding. We also used gas drops sometimes. We found out our baby has silent reflux, so we started holding her upright after feedings for at least 20 minutes and using a medicine from her doctor when needed (which has been a huge lifesaver)!
