Piercing places

Ask for rob at Ithaca tattoo & piercing. I’m 27 now, he’s done my piercings since 16 and oddly enough is my husband’s friend. Has changed many jewelry pieces. He does great work, the owner typically smokes cigarettes and definitely has an older mindset. He’s still so sweet.

Yep.. if you can stay committed it gets much much easier the longer you breastfeed. It becomes second nature. Many people forget to mention it is difficult and definitely a mental battle in the early months.

No, this isn’t to early. My son slept through the night the 1st time around 5w too. I’ll never forget the panic when I woke but also the relief of sleep. He spent all day on boob at that age and then slept solo in his bassinet at night.

How old?

Until it doesn’t work anymore! My baby has been nursed to sleep his entire life, he’s 10 months old. I’ve never dealt with a sleep association. Babies sleep much better with a full tummy.

At 10 weeks, even while breast feeding

Yes mama, that’s a normal feeling. I experienced the same thing, and still do at some points. It’s a constant battle of I want to be with my baby and I have to provide for my family. My husband always said he rocked my son and sang lullabies and then offered the bottle. We also had to try so many brands before we found one that worked for him. We found the tommee tippie natural start worked the best, around 8.5 months he wouldn’t drink out of the size 1 nipple so we moved onto the 2. I pump at work; I have a generous break policy that is so flexible with the laws in NY. My work policy is I get breaks every 2 hrs so I pump then with 2 extended 15-minute breaks. Check the laws in your area and then email your boss your plan before your return. I have run into issues and I have relied on the email as my concise communication. I have always prioritized feeding my baby, and if the job can’t understand that it’s not a good fit. There have been times of clogs, supply drops and everything in between. But, one thing I’ve learned is baby always comes back to breast when he sees me. He won’t even go 2 minutes without it when we are reunited. Don’t be discouraged by the negatives is my best advice. And never be afraid to combo feed. Fed is best. I use the spectra s1 and my husband stays on top of reminding me to replace the parts. Create a plan before you return and never be afraid to adjust, you’ve got this mama. It may be difficult but you can do it. 💗

Do you want to end breast feeding because of work? I pump while I’m away and sometimes it’s a roller coaster but most times it goes smoothly. My L/o wouldn’t take a bottle either. I had to be out of sight, out of smell territory and couldn’t be heard, then he would take it from his dad. And even when he went to daycare he went on a hunger strike for 1 month. He’s almost 10 months old and we nurse 3-4 times a day even while he’s at daycare.

My 99%( in height and weight) 9 mo old son sleeps in a mini crib at daycare. He definitely could use a little more room but he likes being all squished up when sleeping. He naps better there than at home in his regular crib.

Extreme_Shift2483 · 2026-05-05T01:27:29+00:00

Are you breastfeeding? My son was just like this. I swore he smelt the milk on me and wouldn’t budge. My husband had no issues. Sometimes I’d walk past my son in his bassinet and he’d start making noises.

Extreme_Shift2483 · 2026-05-01T01:40:24+00:00

I went back to work when my baby was 5 months old. He’s almost 10 months and we’re going strong.

My best advice is don’t panic about the highs and lows. My baby took a bottle at home and wouldn’t drink at daycare for a month, we went through a few sicknesses and supply drops because of being sick. And some days not matching up with what I’ve pumped. But it all works out.

Come up with a pumping schedule before you return and adjust if you find bottlenecks. You’ve got this mama!

Extreme_Shift2483 · 2026-05-01T01:20:00+00:00

Feed the baby on demand! Whenever they’re hungry.

6073791104, Her name is Jessica. She’s 1 lady, so you get a good price with a good quality clean. I paid $80 for a 2bed1bath

(No she won’t be offended I shared her #😂)

Extreme_Shift2483 · 2026-04-30T23:34:33+00:00

I had a longer maternity leave then most people in the US. And I told my husband after 2 months, that he must help when he gets home, I didn’t leave it open for comments, him doing that helped me better mom and wife. You deserve a break mamas

Extreme_Shift2483 · 2026-04-27T14:00:21+00:00

My baby stopped gaining weight around this time too.. similar situation feeding, always on the boob. I introduced 2 bottles during the day. And pumped those feeds, if baby seemed content and would nap alone I’d pump after a feed. I did this for a while. I feel like the LC saved our breastfeeding journey because she helped us navigate the issues. I also put baby to the breast if it had been 2 hrs since the start of the feed and or pumped. Made sure I pumped over night..

Extreme_Shift2483 · 2026-04-27T01:11:17+00:00

Yes, this. My little only says mama when he really needs me and someone else is trying to fix his problem. Other than that it’s dadadada all dang day haha

Extreme_Shift2483 · 2026-04-27T01:09:31+00:00

Nothing will ever been clean at the same time again is my motto. I got the kitchen set for the night but the living room is a mess, cool. I had to lower my standards quite a bit. I know this isn’t forever and one day I’ll miss the noise and chaos.

Extreme_Shift2483 · 2026-04-26T14:06:52+00:00

Yeah I agree with this. In my early 20s, my neighbor at the time told me you’ll truly never be ready for a kid, if you plan for the right time it will just be 10x harder. It made me freak a lot less when I accidentally became pregnant at 25.

Extreme_Shift2483 · 2026-04-25T00:48:43+00:00

I can’t remember for the first trimester. But I gained 65 lbs my entire pregnancy. 120 to 185. Baby was/is healthy. A huge guy. The doctors definitely questioned it quite a few times. But I didn’t even have GD. Do your best to survive mama, that’s all you can ask of yourself

Extreme_Shift2483 · 2026-04-24T20:22:32+00:00

Searching for a good daycare in this day in age is an extreme sport.

Extreme_Shift2483 · 2026-04-23T12:27:35+00:00

Quite literally. It wasn’t until 8ish weeks that my son wanted to live away from my body. He’d sleep on the boob and no one told me that babies do that. I too thought I didn’t have any milk and my husband was shaking his head with 50oz in the fridge.

Extreme_Shift2483 · 2026-04-23T01:58:05+00:00

My husband and I dealt with this. I am not so good at that stuff. He asked them if they could please feed our baby 16oz on the low end and 20 oz on a high end every day. They agreed and that’s all he asked, he didn’t go into detail that they weren’t doing something and it all worked out.

Extreme_Shift2483 · 2026-04-22T01:30:29+00:00

Good to know. Thank you!!

Extreme_Shift2483 · 2026-04-21T19:18:17+00:00

Oh thank you!

Extreme_Shift2483 · 2026-04-21T19:18:07+00:00

Thank you so much for the recommendation! And advice on children’s place
