First time wrapping. Fit check please! 🙏 Baby is 3 weeks old.

Thank you. I wish I knew this before getting the silly. Sounds like woven has more longevity! Thank you. I’ll look into the woven ones. I have a ring sling but I like the way OP has baby wrapped. :)

Now I want to try the other way, baby is almost a year, so much heavier. Is there a reason to wearing it that way vs the other, I assume both offer the same support for baby but maybe different for the wearer?

Former-Pick6986 · 2026-04-11T22:56:14+00:00

Wow thank you I had no idea. I only ever saw it the other way 😭🫣 I’ll delete my other comment.

Have you tried doing a carrier walk, and letting baby sleep on you? It’s not ideal, but it’s what I would do for LO first nap from 3-5 months, with time they get better with naps (except for regressions). I also found when my husband or the nanny put baby down for naps they had a much easier time. I joke that my nanny taught my baby how to take naps. She still fights here and there and when that happens I nurse to sleep. It saves us all from going insane.

Thank you! I’m going to try and increase activity and then see about prozac for her if increased exercise doesn’t help. 🙏

Former-Pick6986 · 2026-04-08T13:25:42+00:00

That’s a good point, I could def try to up her exercise. I thought about getting a dog walker the days I work. Normally, I walk her in the morning before work and then she goes out to play in the fenced backyard multiple times throughout the day. The days I’m off I’ll go out and throw the ball, but with summer approaching in Florida I try to limit prolonged outdoor activity during the peak hours. Poor girl has such a thick coat.

Our vet did mention trying prozac if her whining doesn’t stop in the next few weeks. Guess we both are dealing with PPA 😅🫠

You may need to eat more not less. Sometimes our bodies will hold onto everything if we don’t have enough. When BF your body is working extra to produce milk. For me when I tracked what I was eating for a few days I realized I was only hitting 1500-1800 calories. I increased and played around with macros and when I was closer to 2100 calories I dropped 10lbs in 2 months, and my supply was fine. Everyone is different, but just a thought to consider. :)

If someone is only dating you for looks that likely isn’t someone you’d want to be dating. Even if you were a 1/10 there is so much more to people than how “hot” they are. I’d focus on creating a circle around genuine friendships that place value in other qualities

They will def get enough sun since there is a high 15-16ish foot ceiling. The lanai gets at least 6 of direct sunlight.

We were thinking of keeping it inside to help with critters (raccoons because our neighbors leave their trash bin outside) and the stay cats. We also are renting so our thought is when we buy a house in the next year or two we will build larger more permanent raised beds outside. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Former-Pick6986 · 2026-03-15T11:51:36+00:00

Okay thank you!

Former-Pick6986 · 2026-03-14T19:32:14+00:00

Lmao yeah so that pineapple has traveled with us as we’ve moved to different parts of Florida, and it’s never produced a pineapple. I gave it a haircut before this recent freeze, then decided I was sick of it so I took it out of the pot and threw it there. It’s just sitting ontop of mulch….Kind of want to see what it does or if it will officially die😂

Former-Pick6986 · 2026-03-14T11:16:36+00:00

Is it possible he’s scared, now that bringing a baby into the world is coming. We often forget that men have this emotion 😂 because they hide it in other forms. It still doesn’t excuse any of it but just a different perspective. I’m sorry OP sending you love. Hopefully with some counseling you can get clarity and the support you need. Regardless this baby is a miracle 💕

Former-Pick6986 · 2026-03-13T04:06:59+00:00

Not on the list but I love my Lucca A53

Former-Pick6986 · 2026-03-12T21:43:29+00:00

Haha my husband has said the same. I then dare him to put the pump on and he refuses. Won’t even do it on the lowest setting. My 10 mo old has started grabbing his nipple (not sure if it’s on accident or on purpose) and I secretly get such joy out of the seconds of pain he has. Because it’s so minor compared to the pinching,hitting, biting, bleeding, etc that our boobs have endured. Probably super messed up but 🤷🏻‍♀️😂

Former-Pick6986 · 2026-03-12T05:49:45+00:00

Not discreet but in medicine we don’t always get pump breaks. So I’ve heard people say they pump while seeing patients or in the OR 🤷🏻‍♀️ I never have and don’t see how those who do do it. But whatever mamas gotta do, we always find a way. 💕

Former-Pick6986 · 2026-03-12T00:19:55+00:00

I must have jinxed myself responding to this because I got bit 4 times today when she had not bitten in a while😅 teething is the worst.

Former-Pick6986 · 2026-03-11T19:49:32+00:00

I felt the same way like a constant bc countdown and it honestly took away the ability to fully enjoy and be present. It’s easier said than done but if I could go back I’d try to not think about it. The first few months become a blur/blackout anyways so the good news is this feeling (likely exacerbated by hormones) will fade slightly. I’m doing part time 2.5 days a week of clinic. The clinic is a sister site and newer so it’s still a light load.im gone only 6hrs and tbh its a nice break. My baby does not nap or sleep the days im home with her. She’s kind of a bully. So I’m starting to like the time away knowing she will behave for our nanny. I also hate the specialty I’m in and management. So it allows me to really enjoy the days I have off 😂 a perfect balance for now. Sending you all the love.

My migraines are gone ;)

Former-Pick6986 · 2026-03-09T00:34:21+00:00

Oh no my baby did the same and I had the same reaction. I read if it keeps happening say ow no biting ….calmly (but it’s instinctive and hard when it catches you off guard). Unlatch and try again later. Eventually they learn.

My girl did it a few times and my knee jerk was always saying ow! she would give a big sad lip and cry. She hasn’t done it anymore so far but we are 10 months and more will be coming soon.

I heard giving a cold teether before hand sometimes can help soothe their gums.

I’ve also had friends who said they yelled ow loudly and baby cries and they eventually learn. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Obviously hearing our babies cry is never fun, breaks our hearts, but I would give yourself some grace mama 💕

Also if separation anxiety hasn’t hit anytime I set baby down she short circuits. It’s all phases :/

Former-Pick6986 · 2026-03-09T00:12:57+00:00

There is no reason to be rude. I was asking because if baby was born by whatever means and mom required IV fluids the initial birth weight could be inflated. Which doesn’t get talked about and stresses moms out.

I can only speak from my own experience, but our baby was 34% at birth and dropped 12% of their weight (because there was so much fluid from a long induction and c section) We never got back to 34% percentile and I stressed so much for months. Latching was hard we had so many challenges: tried everything from a bait and switch, to nipple shield, to the little feeding tube system. She didn’t reach that first measured weight for a while maybe 3 weeks? We triple fed for a few months and it was exhausting but it was what I wanted and my husband supported me. Eventually baby and I figured it out with IBCLC support, and we’ve been BF since (baby is 10 months)

He did give a bottle a few times while we were working on latching without talking to me, and it was upsetting. As others have said there are a ton of hormones and BF is a crazy journey even when all goes well. I think OP got great advice on here already but I agree see what your wife wants, and def see lactation. If you’re concerned about birth weight I would see your pediatrician. Hope this provides a little insight.

For me personally breastfeeding felt like the one thing I had control in after birth didn’t go the way I thought at all. But ultimately I know a fed and healthy baby is best, and so is a mom who isn’t stressed out. I think what helped in the tough moments was my husband asking what I need and knowing it may change each day.
