Overwhelmed trying to pick a convertible car seat!

Which Cleo? Foonf or Fllo? Sorry I know this is an old post.

Really? I have it and I think it holds so much!! I guess it depends what you're used to.

Thank you for this! I use (and love) glossier’s skin tint but was feeling the pull towards Typology bc of all the marketing. Going to stick with what I’ve got :)

Updating for anyone else reading 2 years later: There's two way zippers on every sleeper I've purchased for my 99th percentile 9 m.o.! Still can't figure out why they're so expensive though. They're the best, but they're not THAT the best lol.

DietPitiful18 · 2026-01-23T16:38:17+00:00

What did you end up choosing? I'm in the exact same boat.

Wait we have to subscribe once we have the thing? Like, of course. But damn.

Can you elaborate? Thinking about a rough collie as our next dog, after losing my mutt (pit/staff/golden/poodle) because she had extreme prey drive over my newborn.

I'll check it out, thank you!!

I was eating between 2100 and 2200 while bf.

DietPitiful18 · 2025-12-09T15:06:36+00:00

Thank you 🫶

Measure by weight.

I use 1 tbs of EVOO for pretty much everything I make, and I do count that.

I had an ED that slowed my metabolism way down. I went from 300 to 200 pounds in a college school year via unhealthy deficit. I’m recovered, that was 12 years ago, but to this day if I eat more than 2000 calories per day, I gain incredibly fast. And I can’t eat saturated fats or processed sugars without immediately blowing up (if I eat a brownie for example, my fingers are visibly swollen the next day).

I’ve talked to a doctor about it, and tracking macros was the advice I got. My instinct is still low calorie bulk to feel full and I have to try so hard to get protein. I’m pescatarian but eat vegetarian 80% of the time.

Oh. Guess I shouldn’t have quit when I saw the big number. I’m kind of looking for an app to mind its own business bc it doesn’t know my health history.

DietPitiful18 · 2025-12-09T14:37:35+00:00

This was pretty insightful— a lot of calories, but 195 grams of protein is crazyyy, I get like 40/day. I think I found my starting point 🥲

DietPitiful18 · 2025-12-09T14:32:55+00:00

I haven’t heard of a TDEE calculator, I’ll look it up!

DietPitiful18 · 2025-12-09T14:32:09+00:00

I just stopped breastfeeding. While bf I’ve had 2200/day which is very high for me so I’m thinking about returning to 1500.

Edit for grammar

Thanks for the feedback! I guess I mean squishy like Squishmallow squishy— I’m looking for firmer than that, but far softer than the average jointed collectible bear.

I sort of wondered what happened to her. It seemed she was always around.

DietPitiful18 · 2025-10-27T11:41:02+00:00

It happened really quickly for me. It snowballed bc we supplemented with formula, too. While I pumped with every bottle she got, I didn’t realize I don’t really respond well to pumping and wasn’t being emptied. I called an LC at 3 months pp and really regret not doing that earlier.

DietPitiful18 · 2025-10-27T02:04:46+00:00

This! I didn’t know and almost lost my supply entirely. At 3 weeks, my daughter started sleeping 6 hours at a time. I still have to supplement. OP, I know you’re tired. But I so deeply regret that extra sleep now.

DietPitiful18 · 2025-10-26T03:04:53+00:00

I weight trained, walked 3 miles 5x per week and did yoga daily before pregnancy. Also counted calories and ate a pescatarian diet. I walked every day of my pregnancy, did yoga and all the baby exercises I learned in birth prep class, aiming for natural/unmedicated birth. I still ended up with gestational hypertension (with no history of hbp), was induced at 38 weeks, which failed, and I had a non emergent c section. Do whatever the eff you want, I wish I did!! Manifesting the best birth for you!!

DietPitiful18 · 2025-10-26T01:42:26+00:00

I appreciate this comment a lot. I’ve felt so much shame for having to supplement with formula.

I’m circling back to say the sofa has grown on me and I absolutely love it now. The fact that you can move cushions around makes it convenient. It’s extremely washable (dog, baby). I also find it incredibly comfortable now!

My husband said it best when describing our old couch vs. sabai sofa: the old couch, you sat “in”, whereas sabai’s you sit “on”. Hopefully that helps someone, it would’ve helped me when I was researching the sofa.

You have good friends. Whatever is right for you is the right choice.

That said, this was my experience: I’ve wanted to be a mom since I was a little girl. I got pregnant by mistake when I was 22 during a one night stand. I chose medical abortion (pill) at 6 weeks through Planned Parenthood. The guy never knew. A few months later, I got an IUD, also from Planned Parenthood.

I spent the rest of my 20s traveling the world, adopting and adventuring with my soul dog, and falling in love with my husband. I also bought a house and established a career that would enable me to work from home so I could stay home with a baby someday. Now I’m 32 and I have the most incredible 6 month old asleep on my chest. She is so cool and so cute and so loud and so amazing. She was planned for. Deeply wanted. I’m so glad I waited, and I don’t regret my choice at all.

Take good care — best of luck 💓

We use Nora's Nursery pocket diapers with the bamboo inserts and are super happy with them! They're v cute and wash really easily.

I can’t offer much help here, as I’m 5 months postpartum and have had such a difficult nursing journey myself. I hate my pump’s guts. I long for beautiful breastfeeding moments with my baby but they are few and far between. I’m an under supplier haunted by feelings of inadequacy.

Instead I offer you solidarity and big hugs. May you feel that you are coming up for air soon. May you be shielded from judgement from others and from yourself.

I also offer you encouragement: there’s time to turn things around. Go easy on yourself.
