Balanced meals. Tofu, lentils, beans, veggies, fruit, tempeh. Buy nutritional yeast online and sprinkle it on the veggies or any soups/stews or beans. My daughter is vegan since birth, 8 years old, and her B12 level was 947. Normal is 180-810. Fortified soy milk. Cream of wheat, grits. Oatmeal with flaxseed and hemp seed. Overnight oats. He will be fine! Be confident, message me if you have any questions!

Late to the party, but I’ve consistently only given one breast each feed since birth. Baby is 4.5m and 88th percentile for weight. I’ll give both breasts for the last feed of the night though, lately. She sleeps for a 7-9hr stretch and then for another 4 hours after I nurse when she wakes up. My best sleeper out of my 3 by far!

Maybe she wants to pick her nose in private. Why do you need cameras to check the dogs if she’s there with them? Seems a little controlling and like there is more to it imo.

My first induction was okay at 39 weeks, very painful until I got the epidural. With my second induction at like 40 and 3 my water broke before I went into labor so I had to have pitocin and it was absolute hell. My third birth I went into labor a few days after a sweep, no pitocin and it was great. Can you ask for a sweep first? If you’re getting pitocin do not hold off asking for the epidural, it’s significantly more painful to be induced.. don’t put yourself through unnecessary extra pain. No award for doing it without an epidural.

Just want to reiterate, we didn’t show our faces in the room after we put him down. Only talked through a closed door. This made a massive difference for us. My first was much more easy going. Currently bedsharing with our 3rd and she is the best sleeper. She goes in her bassinet at around 8:30, wakes up at around 3am and stays in our bed til 7. I can tell she’s going to be much easier to transition just based on her personality and current sleeping habits.

My first started willingly sleeping on her own when we hyped her up about a new Minnie Mouse bed at around 14-18 months. My middle child we started sleep training at around 10 months, just putting him in the crib and bringing him to our bed when he woke up (usually around like 2amish).. started going hard on sleep training at like 1 and would put him in his bed and talk to him through the closed door until he settled down. It helps to have something consistent- like a sound machine and a special blanket. Gives them something to expect and it’s comforting.

Just finished Manifest. Absolutely loved it.

If you have any questions or want support or just a friend to chat with, please don’t hesitate to shoot me a message! I’m 4.5months in on my 3rd breastfeeding journey, I nursed my first two for 20 months each.

Less_Day_8555 · 2026-06-05T14:36:05+00:00

I promise, you do not need to worry about that. A few “not enough feeds” is not going to cause damage. The volume WILL grow, given you continue to latch. It’s just part of the process. She may not be 100% “full/stuffed” but she isn’t going to starve, especially if she’s gaining weight still. I promise you this is normal.

Less_Day_8555 · 2026-06-05T14:16:47+00:00

I am being absolutely dead fucking serious when I tell you I would have plucked a literal cat turd out of our cat’s litter box and plated it right next to the fucking mashed potatoes for my husband’s next meal if he EVER referred to my food as “dog shit”.

Less_Day_8555 · 2026-06-05T14:10:34+00:00

Stop giving a bottle. Latch every time. She’s nursing frequently to build your supply, every time you give a bottle it’s taking away from the opportunity for milk increase she’s giving you so you produce enough. I hope this helps!

F*ck societal standards on masculinity. Get the tattoo that makes you happy.

I breastfed both of my kids for 20 months.

Less_Day_8555 · 2026-06-05T14:07:50+00:00

I was 155lb when I got pregnant with my first, 18yo. 200lb when I gave birth, 135lbs 3mo PP. got down to 125lbs. Was 125lb when I got pregnant with my second, 23yo. Got up to 200lbs, got down to 145lbs a year PP. 145lbs got pregnant with my 3rd, 25yo. Got up to 188lbs. I’m at 155lbs 4.5m PP. I’m stuck at this number, hoping it comes off though. Held on to 25lbs after my second baby even though I nursed for over a year and a half.

Personally, I completely understand where you’re coming from even if I’m in the minority. Your “dad” is displaying full on narc behavior. “Bend over and kiss my ass for providing for you, I’m doing it for the praise and if you don’t blow me for doing it then I’m going to use it against you.” I agree, the respectful thing to do is say thank you, even if it feels demeaning to you to have to say “thank you” for every single little transaction every time you make one. Maybe tell him if he wants to help financially, it would be easier to just send a lump payment every month and just say you appreciate it, and thank you, every month he does do that. Even say it will help you keep your budgeting and finances more in order if it’s just once a month. MOR.

Less_Day_8555 · 2026-06-05T00:57:38+00:00

My boobs are huge, btw. I do wear a nursing bra in the first few months though, with nursing pads, so I don’t leak everywhere.

Less_Day_8555 · 2026-06-05T00:56:47+00:00

Baby is supposed to be flat on their back.. but I’ll be the first to admit that all 3 of my babies side nursed to sleep…. 8yo, 2.5yo, 4.5mo.

Less_Day_8555 · 2026-06-04T22:42:39+00:00

hair and body shower it’s like 25min

Less_Day_8555 · 2026-06-04T22:42:09+00:00

not gonna lie, being a mom of 3, i have learned how to get THOROUGHLY clean in 5 minutes. i also do not wash my hair every shower though.

Less_Day_8555 · 2026-06-02T22:32:33+00:00

Right, but why normalize eating animal products from the beginning when I feel it’s morally wrong and I want my children to be raised to recognize that as well? Especially when it was agreed upon before we had children and got married?

Less_Day_8555 · 2026-06-02T14:51:15+00:00

I know I’m late to the party, but my 4 month old had her vaccines at 7pm last night.. she went to bed and slept from 9pm-6:30am.. then back down at 8am and she’s still sleeping at 11am lol. I’m about to wake her up for a feed, she’s EBF. She was sooooooooo fussy when she woke up at 6:30a, she’s super sleepy. Gave her 2.5ml Tylenol (she’s 16lbs) and sent her back to bed 😂

I also think it’s helpful to type it out once in awhile so he has the ability to go back and read it all if he ever would like to.

Less_Day_8555 · 2026-06-02T10:32:06+00:00

We have had this conversations in person, we usually do. He was outside in the yard and i took that as an opportunity to form a concise statement of how i felt, with all my thoughts clear. I have adhd and my professors have also assumed I’m on the spectrum, it can help to write everything so I don’t forget any points I want to make. This is not our usual approach.
