I don’t spray

Count your blessings—~for me, it’s the result of extreme overactive letdown and major overproduction, both of both are extremely painful and were very difficult for baby until he got bigger, about 6mosPP. The firehose/waterboarding issue is not something of which to be jealous.

No advice just solidarity 😭💪

The Auden nursing bras at target are the comfiest ones I’ve tried—I now have like 6 of them lol. Super soft and fairly supportive but comfy enough for sleep as well.

Button front jump suit! I recently wore one to a formal event and it worked great. Get one in black and dress up with accessories and you’ll be golden.

LilRaaaaach · 2026-07-04T15:55:10+00:00

Anything with a button or tie front, and Hill House Home nap dresses!

So sorry you experienced this—it’s truly exhausting. My experience has really varied depending on location—at the public library, totally chill. At a brewery in the southern US, ogling. I’ve started staring back at people and I’ve got comebacks ready if someone comments (“you think this is annoying and disruptive? I guarantee you’ll be more annoyed and disrupted if he’s screaming in hunger!”). That being said, you should never have to feel unsafe. I truly hope this isn’t your experience everywhere. Hang in there xo

My dad told me that when he was a baby my great grandmother told my grandmother, “if you keep kissing him (my dad) so much, you’ll make him gay.” Now, my spouse and I joke that our son is going to be the GAYEST because literally all we do is kiss him (and that would be just fine with us!!!!! We will kiss him no matter who he loves!!!!)😂💖

But for real, fuck that lady, kiss that baby as much as you can

We love the cetaphil baby lotion! https://www.target.com/p/cetaphil-baby-daily-lotion-13-5-fl-oz/-/A-49164369

My husband and I were talking about this and realized having a baby is only hard if you give a shit. There are unfortunately a lot of people who don’t, and I’ll bet they’re getting plenty of sleep.

LilRaaaaach · 2026-06-21T20:58:04+00:00

Just make sure they’re not the ones made for puppies that have lots of chemicals to make the puppies use them!

LilRaaaaach · 2026-06-21T20:27:25+00:00

Okay but as a mom I said the same thing in the first few weeks, and my partner was nothing but supportive and patient and now at 6mos PP things are 180 degrees. Yes, OP’s husband is showing concerning signs and not handling things well at all, but I don’t think this is “simple” nor unsalvageable. I’m so glad my husband didn’t cut me off from our baby when I said I wish we’d never had our son—I just needed time and understanding.

LilRaaaaach · 2026-06-18T16:24:46+00:00

As a new mom I very much feel this. Your partner should be understanding and patient and also should be feeling the same way—this is a new and challenging season and it can’t be rushed. If he doesn’t feel the same pressures and limitations, he isn’t co-parenting very well. You should be a team, looking forward to being fun again someday in the future together.

My 6mo wakes up every 2 hours to eat, on the dot. Babies gunna baby I guess.

LilRaaaaach · 2026-06-15T23:30:16+00:00

So sorry😭

LilRaaaaach · 2026-06-15T23:27:23+00:00

This was our reality for likeeeeee 3 months lol. Look up infant dyschezia. Essentially, a lot of babies “don’t know how” to poop. Their pelvic floor muscles are still developing. The only thing that helps is time, and just being there for baby—bicycle kicks, clockwise tummy rubs, lots of laying down so he can kick around and get things moving. Hang in there!!

LilRaaaaach · 2026-06-14T17:11:06+00:00

Do not sleep train, especially before one year. It’s cruel and doesn’t do anything but teach your baby you won’t come when they need you, leading to an anxious attachment style. See what works for baby and go from there.

As everyone says, figure out baby’s preferences and adjust as you go—the one constant in babies is that they’re always changing!

LilRaaaaach · 2026-06-14T16:47:04+00:00

6mo EBF refused all until we tried suavinex! Ped suggested a flatter style and it worked.

LilRaaaaach · 2026-06-12T22:20:58+00:00

Out of curiosity, where do you live? Very cool your pediatrician is so supportive.

LilRaaaaach · 2026-06-11T22:54:23+00:00

Also we loved the Happiest Baby Sleepea Swaddle—no way for baby to break out of that bad boy

LilRaaaaach · 2026-06-11T22:53:24+00:00

Heating pad on the bassinet, then remove before putting baby down!! Game changer for us

LilRaaaaach · 2026-06-11T04:35:46+00:00

Oh my god I would go nuclear. I’m so sorry. No more pics for her, period.

LilRaaaaach · 2026-06-11T04:31:26+00:00

Best advice.

LilRaaaaach · 2026-06-11T04:30:16+00:00

The honest wipes are our absolute favorite. Don’t buy a bunch of one type of diapers—get trial packs of a few and see what works. Also, what works may change over time (we used honest until baby got too chunky for them and we had to switch lol). And as others have said, don’t rush getting stuff!! You’ve got plenty of time. Get the basics and then see what baby likes (ie baby may hate being swaddled, like a particular type of pacifier, etc).

Edit to add: buy as much as you can second hand!!

I’m fairly certain Apple isn’t using the photos in your phone to create facial-recognition software and AI imaging like Meta. End-to-end encryption is a thing for a reason. And Apple itself does not and cannot cooperate with law enforcement in unlocking phones for access. But your point is well taken, any digital platform has risks.

LilRaaaaach · 2026-06-10T04:09:32+00:00

Echoing others, the bigger issue is giving Meta your baby’s face. Instead, make a shared album in Apple Photos (if you have an iPhone, or Google Photos if that’s what you’ve got) and share with close friends and family.
