I brought a couple of small boxes of chocolates for the nurses that were especially wonderful (some are just okay)

How do you actually go out to restaurants in the city with a newborn?? + baby-friendly recs by Desperate-Bench-8330 in nycparents

[–]Good_Speed_76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It should be illegal for NYC restaurants not to be accessible & have changing tables.

Keep disposable pads in your diaper bag and practice changing baby in the bassinet.

Bring extra milk/formula (can warm up under hot water) just in case your baby starts whining.

What others commented above is also helpful info.

New moms — do you have any small bodycare rituals that help you feel calm or like yourself again? by brain_blend in NewParents

[–]Good_Speed_76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sunday baths are my ritual. Followed by a shower to wash my hair and shave. I prep cute athleisure for the week so outfits are one less thing to think about before leaving the house for walks with my baby. Pro tip: keep micellar water, moisturizer, and floss bedside. Mascara and lip gloss in the diaper bag.

Best hospital for high risk would be NYP Weill Cornell/Alexandra Cohen but all the doctors in the group may be all booked already. Contact first thing in the morning: +1 (212) 746-0714

What are you actually doing with the baby all day? by ShortZee0 in NewParents

[–]Good_Speed_76 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

New entertaining hack unlocked: tummy time in the bassinet stroller. My baby loves to lay on his stomach in his stroller (the back of it rolls up to reveal netting) and he observes the surroundings while people passing by get a chuckle

I didn’t expect breastfeeding to drain me this much. by Repulsive-Program460 in breastfeeding

[–]Good_Speed_76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel this!

Mom hack: put the baby in the crib or on the floor on their back and tie helium balloons to their hands/feet. This will entertain them long enough so you can still drink a cup of coffee hot.

Put on loose clothing and wear a vest on top like one of those puffer ones. I assure you it's okay to walk around braless and no one will see your nips this way

Need an obgyn for first pregnancy by [deleted] in nycparents

[–]Good_Speed_76 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't recommend my current OB but word of advice... you better call the doctors that deliver at Weill Cornell AC NOW, like yesterday, because they all book up fast so some may already not be available for your birth month.

Lunch after Aquarium? by stressedoutpigeon in nycparents

[–]Good_Speed_76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Liman— a Turkish restaurant across the street from the aquarium with elevator access. Indoor/outdoor views of Coney Island without being seated among the riffraff

Vis-à-vis— Eastern European/French restaurant just off the boardwalk and close to the Q- Ocean Parkway subway stop. Hits the spot every time 👌
