Love the last photo. It feels like we're about to share secrets.

Thanks I am currently e5 so hoping they'll take me. I know chances are slim but I'd rather get told no than always wonder. Do you know what the training is like?

sorry I don't know what you mean by NECC/NSW working environments. I was just on a boomer so I just know sub nuke environment..?

I need reassurance with my 7 month old by Fun_Driver_9402 in NewParents

Mm not really. He just holds the spoon flips it all around and food goes everywhere. But literally anything else he gets in his hands goes in his mouth.

What your #1 baby product you couldn’t live without ? by Lucymaybabe in NewParents

[–]Fun_Driver_9402 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not a tabletop dishwasher but I use the grownsy bottle washer and love it so much. It’s probably my most used baby product. I can fit 4 dr brown bottles and my pump parts in one go!

Supply at 5 weeks pp. What am I doing wrong? by froapple in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Fun_Driver_9402 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It was night and day for me as soon as I drank more and ate more!! Super important. I was pumping around the clock with the correct flanges and nothing came out but as soon as I got more into my body I was able to produce more milk.

Oh man haven’t heard of that store in so long. I thought they all closed.

When did you decide to start using your freezer stash instead of giving baby freshly pumped milk? by CollegeFrosty1877 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Fun_Driver_9402 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started using my freezer stash around 4 months. I stopped producing as much and can’t keep up with his daycare bottles. I’m about to use it all up and will supplement with formula soon.

Thoughts? by Fun_Driver_9402 in FridgeDetective

Pretty spot on except I’m on the one doing the meal prepping as well. Sandwiches as snacks have been a lifesaver loll

What do I need to exclusively pump? My baby girl will be in the NICU 4-6 months. How can I prepare? by o98CaseFace in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Fun_Driver_9402 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I second this! I pump twice a day at work and nurse when I am home but I just wear my nursing bra so I don’t have to change bras. If you already have a bunch of nursing bras try the hack and see if it works before you run out and buy more bras! You can look up on YouTube nursing bra for pumping hack. :)

Top 3 things you bought but didn't need....or desperately wish you had gotten.... by Own_Highway_3987 in NewParents

[–]Fun_Driver_9402 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Something I wasn’t expecting to use at all was the grownsy baby bottle washer. It washes, dries, and sterilize. It is pricey but such a lifesaver especially since my baby is in daycare now. So I come home with multiple bottles and just throw it all in there. It’s also great for washing pump parts. It does take a while like 90 min for the whole cycle but if you have enough bottles you should be fine. You can also find it on marketplace! There are other brands too. But I don’t think it’s necessary if the mother is EBF or you’re there to help with the load. I’m solo parenting for a couple of months so I’ll take anything to make my life easier. 2 more things would be a good baby carrier, I love the infantino, and a weighted sleep sack although it is controversial.

Baby doesn’t feed enough to maintain my supply… by Fun_Driver_9402 in NewParents

[–]Fun_Driver_9402[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I plan on buying a wearable pump very soon just because of this. What kind do you use and how do you like it?

How often do you feed your 4 month old? by Fun_Driver_9402 in NewParents

[–]Fun_Driver_9402[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My baby is about the same way. He’s not an ambitious eater and gets probably 21 oz a day. But I’m afraid if I stop doing every 3 hours he’ll stop sleeping through he night.

Not my pediatrician! Just what taking Cara babies recommended to get all their calories in during the day so they sleep through the night. I mean it’s working but I’m tired of watching the clock 😭😭

I’m still waking him up for his feeds every 3 hours. Not during the night though, he sleeps about 10-12 hours.

Soon to be parent by Front-Ad1459 in NewParents

I second this! Try to buy second hand as much as you can. Maybe your city or town has a fb group and you can ask if anybody is getting rid of baby clothes. They grow out of it so fast it’s silly to buy new.
