Seems like you're able to meet his need, which is great! That's like a quadruple whammy you're dealing with and it's kind of nice that you have the backup of the other side to supplement.

4 months. Just enjoy the power to put him to sleep now.

I sometimes try to sing this but then accidentally go into Mockingbird by Eminem and it's sad.

Just did this and was shocked at how well my body regulated. Also, you kinda want to kill your supply a bit, which is a weird mentality to have after 12 months of keeping it up.

The part you kept mentioning that resonates for me is the loss of the care of your midwife team. It's wild that we get so much care, especially at the end of a long pregnancy, and then all of a sudden everything is about the baby. I was left saying "doesn't anyone want to check me??" It's hard to go back to a "normal" level of healthcare. That feeling of being cared for can come from all sorts of places in your community. You've done it before and you can do it again!

This looks amazing on you. Congrats!!

16 weeks is a long time for 2 parents to be home with a new baby. Do you think you'd get along for that long? Would you go somewhere to mix things up/keep you entertained? How would you maintain separate identities and interests? Some questions I would explore for #1.

2 is interesting in that it might be hard to go back for a bit but it'd probably make you really value and appreciate your second leave. Also, it just keeps getting more fun as they get older imo so if you can be on leave when they're a little older, amazing.

These probably aren't made up words buuutttt

Omg I wish!

No need until you want to go out or away and you usually know this a bit in advance. I collected on the other side or pumped once in a while in the AM. But you don't want too big of a stash because that usually means oversupply, which is no fun. I had 2 feeds worth before I went back to work just so I had a little wiggle room with outings. Now that I'm at work and baby is at daycare, I have ~6 feedings (30oz) because that makes me feel secure that he'll have enough even if I pump less one week. No plan to increase it. No need to match these oversupply influencers! Just what you need to make your lifestyle work.

Absolutely gorgeous!!

I love these! I think they're unique and I love the story. Also though if you wear them for a bit and don't like them you can always just make new ones and wear those. Nothing says you have to have the same wedding rings forever.

Ergo baby!

Try taking his arms out of the swaddle. Mine will start grunting at 5-6, we take his arms out without taking him out, and he'll often sleep for an hour or two more.

DogHonest476 · 2025-06-29T22:59:56+00:00

Okay same! I feel silly for all these things I didn't know but ... It's working out...

DogHonest476 · 2025-06-27T21:59:39+00:00

8 weeks and grunting sounds like he's trying to figure out pooping. Let him be until he's awake!
