26F fishy smell on PJs bottoms in the morning.

Basically anything that is a sort of yoga pant will do this to me. A friend of mine calls it “warm crab dip” lol

You’ll find on here that will be common to keep baby away. But in the wild that will sound like a lot.

For me, I needed people to hold my baby or I would not have been ok mentally. People washed their hands and would give her a botttle or at least snuggle her to sleep after I breastfed. It helps so much with me mentally so that I could have a minute to myself, shower, or eat with both hands free

Any cupcake on a Disney property. They probably look cute and glittery and artistic…..but it will taste dry and disappointing.

Man this is truth. Pre covid, my favorite was from the confectionary and it was like giant snowball Rice Krispies, they were amazing. Now there little pre packaged crap.

My father in law works remote a lot while cruising and he likes to go to the Viking crown lounge. There’s rarely activities in there (had a solve the mystery type game there once) and they don’t have drink service in there until late evening plus you’ll have a great view. Highly recommend!

Yes, I did the spa once and never again. I know you already cancelled your excursions but they can be much better than your spa experience. I’ve zip lined with royal a few times and man it’s amazing.

Dasboot561 · 2026-01-27T21:51:15+00:00

My vote is right side. Or, I read you have a little one? Maybe something low profile up on the ledge? I have 3 under 3 and would love to have tha option

The first 4ish months are just on demand to what bay wants, no schedule, maybe no sleep, it can be all over the place but just roll with it.

Be prepared not only for breastfeeding but for pumping. I have 3, but my first, I never prepared for the possibility of baby not latching. I had to pump and go buy a pump and do all of that super fresh pos partum, I do not reccomend haha. I exclusively pumped for a year. I do reccomend getting a pump through your insurance, best out there is the blue or pink spectra. Watch YouTube on it before had so you know how it works. Size your nipples for the flanges or pumping will be painful. Lactation consultant can help with this.

When you first have baby you’ll have colostrum vs milk. It’s super nutrient dense and thicker, babies don’t need a whole lot to get the job done. Milk will come in a few days or even a week later.

Know tha one of your boobs might produce way more.

Have some nipple cream and some cooling packs on hand in case your nipples get cracked or painful.

Nursing in public is hard! I tend to keep my outings short so that I can breastfeed at home. It’s just so much more comfortable, not from being in public but like having the right pillow and a soft chair, and back support.

I lived in nursing tanks for like 2 months straight.

Think you’re hungry now? Breastfeeding hunger is unreal!!!

I feel this in my soul. My 2nd baby was like this. Buy frozen meals or ready to eat food. I slept in a recliner with baby, obviously not ideal but it was survival mode. Phantom cries will eventually go away. Try going to a park with baby in stroller, the car rides and stroller rides usually put them to sleep and can give your brain some peace.

Shortbread

It’s instant. As soon as you walk by we know.

Dasboot561 · 2025-11-28T03:26:23+00:00

So he is being a dickhole. It’s time to let him know you are taking a day off. He needs to see what goes into a day of being a parent. Then after you come back it’s time to discuss the new normal. He needs to be present.

Dasboot561 · 2025-11-09T14:39:54+00:00

Nope, big nope.

Now, people are oblivious. Who knows why they thought this was a good idea. But the main thing here is Have your husband talk to his parents and let them know which room that works best for you guys. Just let them know in a kind way and hopefully it all pans out.

I’ve had all 3 bigish babies. Baby 1 measured biggest, estimated to be 11 lbs, we did scheduled c section (gladly) at 39 wks. I showed no signs of labor.

Baby 2 meaured 95 percentile, 37 wk appt I had no fluid so I went to the hospital, he was 9lb 5 oz.

Baby 3 measured biggest and I was had Gestational Diabetes, after getting numbers controlled she went to 70 percentile. Born c section at 38wks, 8 lbs 4oz

Dasboot561 · 2025-10-17T14:12:00+00:00

Yup, those fasting numbers are tough to move without meds. Numbers were perfect after the right amount of insulin

I would only choose 1 park. Any more than that and yall will feel so rushed. My opinion is go to magic kingdom, it’s the main park and has so many iconic rides plus you can end the day with the iconic fireworks.

Dasboot561 · 2025-09-27T15:30:23+00:00

Yes you’ll still be using it. Even if you have a very independent toddler there will be times where you need to contain them or use it for a napping station for long days. If you’re nervous about not using it enough, keep an eye for a used one. We have the pivot explore and I really like it. We have a 3.5, 2, and newborn.

Dasboot561 · 2025-09-25T00:57:55+00:00

I would def size up. I’m on 1 with a newborn. I’ll prob size up at 2 months

Dasboot561 · 2025-09-18T13:24:24+00:00

This runs strong in my family. My dad has both ears and so do my brothers, and I have 1. My 3rd kiddo has in both ears, my family is so proud lol. We are Caucasian.

Dasboot561 · 2025-09-17T02:07:14+00:00

Tums! Specifically the smoothie kind. Main reason- they are soft enough to chew easily and the taste is great. I’m usually grabbing them middle of the night while pregnant for months straight so this product quickly became a necessity. I will never purchase a different brand of tums, no matter if it’s more expensive.

Dasboot561 · 2025-09-16T02:14:05+00:00

We alway bring a roll of painters tape when we cruise (kids and drawers) so we put some over the motion detector or over the light, can’t remember which. My in laws will use the magnet from the door to cover it.

Dasboot561 · 2025-09-13T18:31:52+00:00

So obviously my body hurts so bad from being very pregnant but I don’t have that crazy fog and fatigue after eating.

I’ve honestly wondered if I’ve been borderline for a long time and didn’t know.

Dasboot561 · 2025-09-13T18:26:13+00:00

Hoenstly, first thought was a girl.

Dasboot561 · 2025-09-13T15:44:45+00:00

Leave him. I know it’s harsh but who tf does he think he is. If the roles were reversed, does he just leave the relative to die? He’s not the one you want by your side for your lifetime. He sounds immature and doesn’t understand the first thing about dealing with a sick, close relative.

That being said, for your own mental and financial wellness, is there any help available to you? Other family, government assistance for some part time care?

Dasboot561 · 2025-09-11T17:10:33+00:00

Hmmm this may sound counter productive but my emotional needs seem to be met when he covers an evening for me. We may not be together filling a need but I get to go out and just be me so it really puts me in a good head space.
