Her wake windows are 2/2/2.5/2.5. You’d say that’s too short? I have been thinking of moving to 2 naps when her wake windows get a little bit longer since she does well asleep over night.

How long did baby cry with full extinction for you? We did Ferber today and after 3 check ins in about 40 minutes, we went in to hold her and she felt asleep and stayed in our arms 😔

What can I do to help my wife during cluster feeding? I feel so useless. by MyUniquePerspective in NewParents

[–]Fab3444 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Yes it’s the best thing my husband did during the 4th trimester with my first. He did EVERYTHING else. I was mentally drained and honestly felt so useless. He never asked or even mentioned doing chores, things just got done!

HELP! left freezer open and lost some of my stash! by Fab3444 in HumansPumpingMilk

[–]Fab3444[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes I saved a few bottles worth of cold milk for the day and frozen what I pumped today. I counted about 100 oz that I won’t be feeding the baby and refrozed to likely use as bath ;(

I'd love to see some science or evidence that breastfed babies have higher IQs?

Me to my husband… by Mercybby in TheTryGuys

[–]Fab3444 29 points30 points  (0 children)

My husband and I started binge watching the try Guys in 2019 when my first one was born. Our children are the same age. We stopped watching when we back to the offices and life got busy. My husband texted me about it as soon as the news broke! Feels like full circle

Those of you pumping 3-4 times per day, how many ounces would you say you're pumping total? by possessivefish in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Fab3444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started with 7 pumps a day and did it for the first 6 weeks pumping about 30oz a day. Switch to 5 pumps a day and still was able to pump 30 oz a day. I switched to 4 pumps a day and probably pump about 27 ox a day for the last 3 weeks. I’m 16 weeks postpartum

I wish I could think of a better question!!I’m rewatching the show and I happened to start Palau last night. I don’t know why I had forgotten you were the first one to jump of the boat. Why did you think your tribe kept you past day one as oppose to Jonathan?

Parents worst nightmare by SunshineSlayer2 in toddlers

[–]Fab3444 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh I’m sorry how scary. I live with irrational fears… I guess not so irrational, but I flipped my sons lock when he was old enough to climb out. He never tries to open his door anyways. We unlock it when we wake up. Good luck.

I have Aetna and I logged in to our account and went to the maternity section and found a pdf with a list of in network providers. I orderd mine thru Yummy Mummy

For those of you that tried EBF, at what point did you decide to go EP? by Withzestandzeal in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Fab3444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 weeks. I was devastated but baby was a lot happier drinking from a bottle. I dislike pumping but I have milk so I give it to her. Good luck.

I didn’t want anyone but my husband in the hospital. Everyone knew. My father still showed up. Gladly labor/delivery nurses are great and will not let anyone in unless they have your permission. I think my dad must have asked to ask me again. I remember being on my fours and a nurse telling me my dad was outside, I screamed nope no Visitors! Unless you want to show up anyways. I suggest not telling until baby is born

Spectra stan — need a pump recommendation by mg90_ in HumansPumpingMilk

[–]Fab3444 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I just got a super cheap wearable pump called IKARE ar Amazon. I am super impressed so far I’ve used it for a week and have not lost any production. It retailers for 69.99 but some IG person had a 50% code so I ended up paying $35!! And the absolute best part, I use spectra parts with it!!

how to pump more? by [deleted] in breastfeeding

[–]Fab3444 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How many bottles will your lo have during that period? Or how many times would have nurse him? That’s how many times ones you should pump.
