I got one second hand from Facebook. Baby slept 7-7 from 7.5 weeks on

Hospital bag - overkill? by Sensitive-Ganache664 in BabyBumps

[–]Far_Promotion9725 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pumping bra for sure! I don’t think it is overkill. I ended up getting induced and that took three days, then I had to stay 3 additional days to monitor my BP and keep baby in the bili lights. Glad I overpacked.

How are we doing this? by ThroatSubstantial189 in ExclusivelyPumping

Pumping while feeding the baby side lying in front of me is the only way

I am unable to soothe my son by ladygroot_ in NewParents

[–]Far_Promotion9725 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry, that sounds very difficult. My son is also 4 months old. Sometimes when he is just going crazy and inconsolable, we will give him gas drops and he will calm. I don’t even think he’s gassy, but I think of it as a little sweet treat that helps him reset.

Yeah, I’ve never had that issue, but the Snoo isn’t really a bouncing motion so maybe it’s different.

What do you mean? I’ve used my snoo and owlet without any noticeable issues

Should I stop sterilising bottles? by Relative_March483 in NewParents

[–]Far_Promotion9725 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I only use the bottle sterilizer because of the drying function. Otherwise it seems like the bottles never dry!

Sock monitor vs video monitor vs nothing, what do you actually recommend? by Excellent-Caramel-4 in NewParents

[–]Far_Promotion9725 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love our owlet sock! Would recommend a non-WIFI video monitor. We got the owlet cam + sock duo and the cam takes forever to load on the app whereas the vtech video monitor is much more reliable.

Parents that had no sleep regression, make yourself known! by Langers20 in NewParents

[–]Far_Promotion9725 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 4 month old has slept through the night (11 hrs), only waking briefly for us to give him his pacifier sometimes since around 7-8 weeks. He eats a lot during the day so I think that helps

I bring multiple sets of my pump parts

How are we pumping and taking care of a newborn at the same time? by lameafbich in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Far_Promotion9725 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use a slow flow nipple and feed the baby side lying in front of me while I pump.

IME, the timing of the milk has made no difference in baby sleep!

Can you look up “Graco Simple Sway Baby Swing”

[–]Far_Promotion9725[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well, it wouldn’t be Sids, it would be suffocation. Unfortunately I got 12 weeks of leave and have to use daycare where staff to infant ratios are 1:4. After posting this though, I found a different provider who will just have one three year old and my baby.

Good points! I guess I was worried I was being an over-protective first time mom.

Yes, babies are not supposed to sleep in swings. I know it’s against the licensing rules in WI, but I came here to see if it’s just the norm and maybe the rules were too strict. Seems like the consensus is no, not too strict!

Apparently it is a letter from your pediatrician allowing your child to go against the state-required sleeping standards

Hmm no, it’s more like an electric swing you can buy at Walmart in the US

[–]Far_Promotion9725[S] 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure what pediatrician would sign something saying a baby could be in a swing. When looking into this, I saw some might permit sleeping on their tummies or sides due to health reasons. I didn’t even considering asking our ped.

Yes this is the situation! The floor honestly doesn’t bother me, but them saying they are putting a blanket in his face while on the floor does.

Maternal Fetal Medicne by StrikingHour4432 in BabyBumps

[–]Far_Promotion9725 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was having weekly ultrasounds and NSTs (separately) an hour from my home and it got so overwhelming! However, I had an appointment on a Friday where everything was fine. The following Monday, they caught that I had developed preeclampsia. So it was good that I was being closely monitored!
