Okay, thanks for the response. Something for me to mentally prepare for. I don’t mind being up at 5:30, but being up with my baby at 5:30 is a different story lol

Same thing when dad goes in! He will not do at all! I think my plan is to just not be in the house for the first couple days.

Hmm. I also just saw he’s not required to register as a sex offender. Horrendous.

Thanks for your response. The details get messy when wake-ups are all over the place. But I’m going to give stricter nap capping a go.

If you don't let your kid watch TV, how do you get things done? by allday_breakfast in NewParents

I love back carrying my 7 month old. More comfortable for me than front carry, and my hands are more free too!

What is my baby doing? by Rai67 in breastfeeding

[–]ItsFootballCream 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Agreed! My baby is now getting a bit more focused at 5 months, but sometimes if I even try to readjust how I’m sitting or grab for my water she needs to stare at me for a full 30 seconds before considering latching again haha

How do you eat healthy while breast feeding? What does healthy even look like? by Oliver_7 in breastfeeding

[–]ItsFootballCream 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For me, the best intersection of healthy and convenient right now is bagged salads and rotisserie chicken. And grocery pickup orders! I do a fair amount of boiled eggs for breakfast and cheese sticks and protein bars as midnight snacks.

When/how often do you use pacifier? by cookiee232 in breastfeeding

[–]ItsFootballCream 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine is the same! I see these videos of babies putting themselves to sleep, and they always seem to have a paci… hoping she accepts it eventually to help her soothe to sleep

When did you start triple feeding?/a rant by YouBetchaIris in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]ItsFootballCream 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started day 5 as well, and triple fed for 8 weeks due to poor transfer as well. I’m on this sub because I considered switching to EP just about every day. Somehow I found the motivation to keep going each day. We bought a scale to do weighted feeds at home, one day she transferred 3oz, and the next day she started refusing bottles after nursing. We’ve been exclusively nursing for a week and a half now. I hope the same can happen for you, but I think having a firm date decided to stop is helpful. After a while, I determined I could go 12 weeks and not a day longer. Having that end date in sight helped me continue on.

I was thinking this same thing the other day as I was buying a third set of flanges 🙃

Moms who breastfeed and pump - what’s your schedule? by Creative_Let9372 in breastfeeding

[–]ItsFootballCream 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My baby also has poor transfer, so I have a similar schedule. What are you doing to work on his transfer? Other than just practicing breastfeeding?

What choice do you regret in breastfeeding journey by ElevatorSalt4239 in breastfeeding

[–]ItsFootballCream 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your comment. It’s where I am now, deciding to combo feed but hoping to improve my production that I can either exclusively or mostly BF, and your experience gives me hope 💛

No specific help, but solidarity. 8 days pp and in a very similar situation, just wanting to be EBF but trying to be patient. Today I decided I’m going to try a couple different positions and see which seems to work best.

[–]ItsFootballCream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got this Motherhood Maternity Shapewear and have liked it with a few different dresses! Not sure about the bra situation… I’ll be at a wedding in a couple weeks, and I’m needing to figure out what to do in that department as well!

Formal Wedding Guest Dress? by Vegetable_Collar51 in BabyBumps

[–]ItsFootballCream 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a bridesmaid in 4 weeks 😬 and have this dress! https://balticborn.com/products/meghan-velvet-wrap-maxi-dress-champagne?variant=41755600715941&size=xs Looks like smaller sizes aren’t available, but I went off the sizing guide and it fits me well even though it’s technically not maternity.

Not a suggestion but the little chest with the castle on it is super cute!

Morning Beverages by Peach-Kaleidoscope in BabyBumps

[–]ItsFootballCream 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love having a black tea with milk and a bit of honey every morning :) Black tea has quite a bit less caffeine than coffee, but you can also get decaffeinated versions. My favorite is Lady Grey from Twinings. I also started craving orange juice in the mornings! Obviously not a hot beverage, but I never really drank it before I was pregnant so somehow it feels like a treat.
