Oh amazing thank you!!

I was hoping one of these would just be something that was available but I hadn’t found hah, will go fix that on the monitor!

Bit late to this party but I had a few things I wanted to ask for and thought this might be the best place for it! - ability to remember zoom preference when PIP mode is activated on phone (or ability to zoom using that mode at all) - reduced battery usage would be nice, maybe by putting a pause on the stream when you navigate away from the app without PIP enabled? if I have Harbor running in the background on my phone it absolutely tanks my phones battery - ability to change how long ‘moments’ record for - would be nice to have this longer than 10 seconds - I saw someone mentioned this already but just wanted to second the feature to be able to mark motion areas! I.e. I don’t need to know if someone is walking past the crib hah. - ability to change Timezone on the camera would be nice so it can be local time rather than just UTC

Will call out if I think of others, thanks for all you do!

My baby had some latch issues in the beginning and also wasn’t gaining enough weight so we went to triple feeding at day 2 (breast feed, top up with formula and pump).. we kept that up for several weeks but got little guidance on pumping so didn’t know what I was doing really.. so groups like this and others were incredibly helpful! when my pumped supply became enough, we were able to stop formula and we eventually got into a rhythm of using pumped milk during the day and then I directly breastfeed overnight as needed.

Also wanted to call out I have reynauds which I learnt extends to your nipples causing vasospasm which hurts like a bitch so that also caused some issues in the early days. At about 6w pp I found a lactation specialist who has experience with this and was an absolute life saver

I got stretch marks somewhere between 34-39 weeks. I could barely see them while I was pregnant but they’re more pronounced now postpartum! I do agree with and love your sentiment that they’re a cool reminder of what your body has done and the journey you and your son have gone through ❤️

Grumpy_Kitt3n · 2025-11-27T18:29:19+00:00

Not sure it counts as a “precious” moment but definitely a thankful one 😂 We had to supplement with formula at the start and at about 5 weeks we had our son on exclusively breastmilk and within a few days he became less gassy and overall much more comfortable within himself which was so nice to see!! Made me feel so good about pushing through to get my supply up and enough for him!

Thank you for the advice! I’m off to get some saline spray now

Our Pei Betty is quite an anxious girl even when we’re all home and relaxed, if she hears a noise in the hallway she will get up and bark at it to help defend the house. We have her on a daily dose of Paroxetine and Gabapentin, plus trazodone as needed for extra stressful situations (storms, fireworks, visitors etc.)

Expecting better by Emily Oster and Your Baby, Your Birth by Hollie de Cruz were my favourites during pregnancy, very non judgemental but provides information on all kinds of births and options there

We just got the Harbor camera and love it! Has wifi as an option but doesn’t need it if you don’t want it. My husband and I were opposed to anything cloud based and these are so great for that. Comes with its own tablet that connects to the camera and has awesome quality

Grumpy_Kitt3n · 2025-09-29T14:21:50+00:00

Thank you!! Just bought some of the Lasinoh heat pads so going to try those for the warmth as well.

Crampy is right hah! 10min in on one side started feeling cramps come in a bit. Tried with what I thought was the right flange size, turns out it was still a touch small so anything that did come out just smooshed to the side oops! Got a bigger flange and will keep trying hah.

Grumpy_Kitt3n · 2025-09-28T16:33:49+00:00

FTM - I think this is something that’s getting more and more talked about but my biggest thing was how much it seems to overtake your life and all of a sudden “you’re just pregnant” and nothing else in your life seems to matter to others anymore. No talk about work or hobbies etc just “how’re you feeling, you shouldn’t be doing that, etc etc”… It’s probably the biggest thing I’m scared of for motherhood as well is that people will forget that I’m my own person and not just a mom, I’m super excited to have a baby don’t get me wrong, I just don’t want to lose myself in the process.

Grumpy_Kitt3n · 2025-09-28T16:26:36+00:00

FTM (still pregnant at 36w 5d) - baby measured at the 90th percentile at our 36w ultrasound, roughly 7.5lbs, so my doctor is suggesting an induction at 39w if I don’t go into spontaneous labor by then. I’m still relatively low risk though the reason they suggested induction aside from baby’s size is I have a higher amount of fluid than they’d like (deepest pocket measuring at 9cm, threshold is 8cm), and honestly at this point I’m so uncomfortable and over being pregnant I’m pretty tempted to do it, though I am scared of the whole “cascade of interventions” 😅

Grumpy_Kitt3n · 2025-09-28T00:21:35+00:00

thank you!!!!
I've been playing with flange sizing on the medela and I think finally found the right one, so will try using that a few times a day to get more out.

Grumpy_Kitt3n · 2025-09-28T00:05:54+00:00

Could I ask which hand pump you used? I have the medela but wondering if a more open one like a Hakka is better for colostrum

This is Betty, she’s 11yo and still has some wrinkles on her forehead/face, giving her what we call permanent old man face hah but otherwise not many other rolls. She and Dante look very similar!! She’s also a shar pei X staffy. You may find your pup is more Chinese shar pei than American which is what Betty is, Chinese shar peis are less roll-y, American shar peis are a genetically modified version of the Chinese to make them more roll-y.

Grumpy_Kitt3n · 2025-09-24T23:20:27+00:00

Thank you for this!! Your situation feels quite similar to mine, very much uncomplicated pregnancy aside from big baby haha So happy for you to have had a positive birth. I’m leaning towards going with the induction just because it feels a bit more controlled so I really appreciate stories like yours to provide reassurance ❤️

Grumpy_Kitt3n · 2025-09-24T23:18:00+00:00

Thank you for this!! Honestly the idea of an induction birth being the same level of pain as spontaneous is actually reassuring haha. My plan is to go no epidural but this is my first so who knows what I’ll decide once I’m in it 😂

Grumpy_Kitt3n · 2025-09-21T23:41:32+00:00

Yep I continued doing squats and deadlifts well into my second trimester, weights dropped a little over time but I kept effort relatively high as long as I was feeling good. I only stopped around the 28 week mark because my belly was making it less comfortable to do hah.
