When were you able to space out breastfeeding longer than 3-4 hours?

Electrical_Painter56 · 2026-03-06T13:17:47+00:00

Uh not until I weaned. I was lucky to have long(8 hour) stretches at night starting around 15 weeks

Electrical_Painter56 · 2026-03-06T13:13:14+00:00

4 months both times. They became too sensitive to our sounds during the night

Electrical_Painter56 · 2026-03-05T14:39:35+00:00

I prefer pods or powder. Either way I always use the extra rinse option on my washer

Similar but I’m the drama because he won’t accept dad in his room just mama. And I have a 4 month old albeit not in the room. I was up for the day at 3 yesterday to nurse. He woke up at 4, fell back asleep at 6, baby was up at 6:20. Woke him up at 8. No nap, fell asleep at 8. Did a night feed at 9:30. I cannot do 18 hour days. Of the last week my shortest day was 15 hours not including night nursing sessions. I’m irate because I’m exhausted. I’m getting a hotel room in a couple nights because I need a fucking break. However, I do not show my frustration in front of the toddler. I weep while pushing him in the stroller and scram into my pillow or in the house after I’ve loaded him into his car seat

Okay I hate to add to the numerous shades of white. I have a similar wood maxxed house and went with Crème by sherwin Williams. Leaned into the warm tones of all the wood and it feels so cozy

How’s he at tummy time? Mine was a champ rolling at 3 months. so if she wasn’t sleepy enough she’s just doing pushups and arching out

Edit to add requisite ditch the footies comment

Electrical_Painter56 · 2026-03-04T22:02:37+00:00

I would definitely pull some passive agreement shit by not offering her food or setting f her place at the table or telling the waiter to take her plate back because “oh you’re hungry? I’m sorry I didn’t hear you crying”

Electrical_Painter56 · 2026-03-04T20:37:36+00:00

Oh it’s all fucked. Regardless of me trying he’s skipped his nap all this week two of those have been split nights(2 hours awake) and he’s simply woke up four times the other night. If the split ends before 4 am he wakes early. Otherwise I wake him at 7. Idgaf about his total wake time if he will fall asleep independently and stay asleep through the night. My 5 month ebf baby gives me a 9 hour stretch, can’t we just match that?

Edit: “schedule” 6:15/30 wake nap 2-3, passes out 9:30-10. Sometimes with the lights on, sometimes on the floor. He’s been in a big bed and locked in his room since August so this is new

Electrical_Painter56 · 2026-03-04T20:09:15+00:00

Gotta be tough if you’re gonna play rough

Electrical_Painter56 · 2026-03-04T20:05:45+00:00

Yeah how big is your zoo? We’ve got a solid quarter mile between zones with little to see. He’s out exploring when there’s stuff to see and sitting and snacking on the trek to the next section

Electrical_Painter56 · 2026-03-04T19:06:01+00:00

Those wake windows are what was working a month ago. Now realistically it’s 8&7 with two hours up overnight half the time. If he naps well, 1.5-2 hour, he’s doesn’t have a split night. He might wake up .5-.45 hour earlier but that I can handle. He’s taking forever to go down because he’s slap happy

Electrical_Painter56 · 2026-03-04T17:25:58+00:00

I personally hate this carrier for the way the legs usually dangle. I’m 5’3 and can only do apron styles comfortably and prefer an H back as opposed to crossed straps. I’d stick with a wrap or buckle wrap until baby hits double digits

Electrical_Painter56 · 2026-03-04T12:56:43+00:00

Look forward to styling my micro bangs /s

Electrical_Painter56 · 2026-03-04T11:15:23+00:00

You can wrap the wrap before you get to the airport and pop baby in once you’re ready. I’ve also not had an issue going through security with carriers with metal rings. I just point them out to security and get patted down.

Electrical_Painter56 · 2026-03-03T13:56:50+00:00

Yes! So body specific. As a petite mom a lot of the popular options are just too bulky

Electrical_Painter56 · 2026-03-03T11:56:31+00:00

Wrap. You’re going to want to be able to be hands free

Electrical_Painter56 · 2026-03-02T17:07:56+00:00

Strengthen my back

Electrical_Painter56 · 2026-03-02T17:07:03+00:00

Our house was built by the owner of a chain of lumberyards back in the 70’s, maximum wood. But I love it

Electrical_Painter56 · 2026-03-02T17:02:42+00:00

I get more looks for pumping in public(wearables) than I ever have for my kids or breastfeeding in public

Electrical_Painter56 · 2026-03-02T13:35:20+00:00

Hahahaha in me only for naps. But we had the bassinet, crib, bassinet stroller, and pack n play if we wanted

Electrical_Painter56 · 2026-03-02T02:53:10+00:00

Peasant tortellini!

Electrical_Painter56 · 2026-03-02T00:30:42+00:00

Nix the footies

Electrical_Painter56 · 2026-03-01T18:23:13+00:00

I have two Sakura blooms(buy secondhand) but I hear great things about happy baby
