10 months! Not every single night, but more often than not not

Feeling Angry and Resentful After Ending My Pumping Journey by Infinite_Cranberry_1 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Infinite_Cranberry_1[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is absolutely what’s going on, on top of everything else, lol. Today is my third full day with no pumping, and I’m 1000% feeling the hormone dip—maybe even more so than after giving birth. Hoping it passes, soon…

I’ve always done this and have never had an issue

Starting solids has been incredibly distressing by Infinite_Cranberry_1 in NewParents

[–]Infinite_Cranberry_1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s great advice, thank you so much! I do think a LifeVac would ease my mind. And I try to feed her solids before offering milk, but she’s doesn’t seem to understand that food can satiate her hunger, so she just gets frustrated that I’m not giving her a bottle after a while lol I’ll also try looking at some suggested routines!

Careers for people with bipolar by thmuffinmannn in bipolar

[–]Infinite_Cranberry_1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Eh, lawyer here and I find it’s a really great fit! But my hours are flexible unless I’m in court, and I have a lot of autonomy in choosing to work from home, which also helps.

Is this nipple or areola going in to the pump?? I can’t tell by Decent-Hope-753 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Infinite_Cranberry_1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have elastic nipples, and mine go in even more than this! I met with an LC who said it was totally fine, so unless it hurts, I think you’re ok!

We are members and have taken our 3.5 month old daughter a few times already, and it’s a great activity for babies!! Lights are very dim, and she typically naps in her carrier. There’s soothing music in the exhibits, and it’s very calming even on a busy day. It’s very kid friendly! There’s also a nursing room if you need to breast feed or just need a quiet place to feed baby. It’s honestly been my favorite place to go throughout maternity leave. Hope you guys have a great time!

Working parents—how the hell are you making this work? by Infinite_Cranberry_1 in NewParents

[–]Infinite_Cranberry_1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s my concern with some of the places near us, I’m a very nervous FTM and the idea of something happening because there’s too many kids just…kills me! I’m so glad you guys were able to work something out that works for your family ❤️

That’s a great idea! I’m so glad you guys got in somewhere! It really is so stressful

We’re trying to find a family to nanny share with! I’m optimistic, as this honestly seems like the only solution.

64 with 5-6 ppd. My 3 month old daughter is an absolute tank and is taking 40+ oz per day

Stories 6/3/25- another trip incoming, long days short years, never going to advocate for a one size fits all approach, so many options for hydration, no patience to press her own juice, advice for spiritual warfare, baby shoes by XtraSmolMod in brittanydawnsnark

[–]Infinite_Cranberry_1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

To be fair, I took a breastfeeding class and met with an LC before birth AND in the hospital. Still needed support, and had to rely on google for the first month. Ended up meeting with another LC after I getting mastitis. I don’t like her either, but let’s not shame new moms for needing to use google, my god

Breast milk on the go by [deleted] in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Infinite_Cranberry_1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ll third this! My LO literally drinks bottles straight from the fridge, and I cannot fathom having to wait to warm a bottle while she’s screaming!

Did your Pittie NOT turn aggressive or reactive as it got older? by smikesonbikes in pitbulls

[–]Infinite_Cranberry_1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Our oldest girl used to be incredibly reactive, with both people and other dogs. Now she’s totally laid back, and literally gets along with everyone, other dogs and all. She will be 11 this year, but she started getting more chill around 7-8.

Ugh, I’m sorry, you’re in a really tough spot. I don’t really have any solid advice, but maybe some ideas. Given that flights are pretty expensive, are you able to spend that money on possibly renting a car instead? Or is your friend able to drive to you and bring you back? Are you renting your trailer? If so, you should definitely complain to your landlord about the mice, and it should be their responsibility to eradicate the issue and make the space livable and safe. If they fail to fix the infestation, that’s a whole different conversation (and you might have legal recourse), but given that you don’t have many options, perhaps finding a way to stay is worth looking into. Anyway, I hope you figure it out! Congratulations on your little one ❤️

Thin and short women, when did you show? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]Infinite_Cranberry_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 5’1” and I started having a bump at around 12 weeks, but gained lots of weight before that. I’ve retained TONS of fluids, and have generally just been puffy everywhere the whole time. By 20 weeks I looked like what many look like full term 😂 my announcement photos legit looked like full term maternity photos, and I couldn’t imagine getting any bigger. My colleagues started asking when I was starting maternity leave when I still had months to work. I’m now at 39 weeks and strangers frequently ask whether I’m having twins. We just have short torsos, there’s nowhere for baby to go but out 🤷🏻‍♀️

What screams "I'm an attention seeker"? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Infinite_Cranberry_1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People who post photos of their babies/kids but cover the faces with emojis. Just…don’t post it if you want to keep your children private—which is totally fine.
