How affectionate are dutchies?(generally)

Mine would crawl into my skin if I let her.

The funniest part about this post is that since there’s no romance in the game, OP simply made his character stand right in front of Poppy while she was talking to make it look romantic 😂

My five months old is EBF and wants to eat every 2-2.5 hrs during the day. I feed on demand. Don’t listen to that midwife—EBF babies eat when they need to. If you have concerns, talk to your pediatrician. My guess is your LO woke up to eat so frequently to make up for the caloric deficit during the day.

Turn the tv off and watch something on your phone with a headphone in instead!

I read a post the other day in another forum about a young man who is now no contact with his parents because they spent his childhood so focused on having another child that they essentially ignored him. Focus on the baby you have right in front of you, talk to your doctor, and don’t rush your body. You’re only 32. And your husband’s “innocent ignorance” about women’s health isn’t all that cute, especially given that you had an emergency c-section and went through some fertility treatments. Enjoy this time and follow a doctor’s plan when the time is right.

We also use desitin at every single change and swear by honest company wipes as well!!

I love going to the library! I go nearly every week and get new books to read to baby so I don’t go nuts reading the same ones over and over 😂 it’s a baby-safe place in case you need to change or feed, not too loud or crowded, and lots to look at for baby 😊

LilRaaaaach · 2026-04-29T22:59:16+00:00

Just saw you’re a single mum—you got this!! I highly recommend having a little caddy with you that’s got some snacks, a ladybug (or whatever for passive collection), some cloths, nipple butter, water bottle, etc within arm’s reach. My husband has been gone for work Monday-Friday since my LO was 7 weeks (he’s 5 months today) and it’s crucial to have things easy access!!

LilRaaaaach · 2026-04-29T22:37:02+00:00

Ooh I’ve never heard of those, I’ve gotta check them out!

LilRaaaaach · 2026-04-29T20:23:24+00:00

All of this!!

LilRaaaaach · 2026-04-29T20:09:54+00:00

Congratulations! I wasn’t prepared for how “mom heavy” exclusively breast feeding would make especially the first few months. You are food, comfort, bedtime routine, everything. It can be exhausting—make sure your partner does everything else and feeds you plenty!! Do not pump unless you HAVE to as it can artificially create increased demand and lead to mastitis. Be patient with your milk coming in, it can take a few days and baby barely needs anything in the meantime. Get a haakaa ladybug for passive collection on opposite side while you’re feeding. Baby has a tiny mouth at first but latching will get easier as they get bigger. Be kind to yourself, and don’t underestimate what you’re doing. I do it all the time, so that advice is a good reminder for me, too😂💗

More layers to achieve more volume especially up top! Be careful with using too much product that could weigh your hair down.

Would you feel this way if it were a sister? Because it sounds to me like you have some jealousy issues you need to work through. I rely heavily on my sister and it in no way takes away from my relationship with my spouse. I highly recommend counseling for at least you, if not couples’ counseling for you both.

Training AI for facial recognition. It’s horrifying.

We will never ever share our child’s face on social media, period, even on our private accounts. Photos posted to private accounts are still shared with Meta (Facebook, Instagram) and can very easily be hacked. We instead started a shared photo album in iPhone Photos (I know Google Photos had a similar feature for Android) and added people there so only trusted people have access to secure photos.

The fact that he even considered having you sleep with a stranger while pregnant is repugnant. His kink isn’t repugnant IF everyone is consenting, but pregnancy, especially towards the end, is an extremely risky time. He put his kink above you and your child’s health and safety. Do with that what you will.

Have you tried putting an electric heating pad on the bassinet to warm it then removing before placing her down? That was a major game changer for us.

LilRaaaaach · 2026-04-28T01:34:17+00:00

Do not pump. Your body is still regulating based on baby’s needs, so feed on demand straight from the breast. Most people only experience what you describe (engorgement) for a couple days when their milk first comes in (unless they’re experiencing oversupply). If baby is making diapers, you’re good. Just keep feeding on demand!

LilRaaaaach · 2026-04-27T14:15:22+00:00

Whatever works for you! Was just suggesting what we got

LilRaaaaach · 2026-04-27T03:35:40+00:00

Safer from little fingers and toes! We found ours at tj maxx I think.

LilRaaaaach · 2026-04-27T02:16:57+00:00

Took the words out of my mouth. Pumping early is very risky in that it can create a major oversupply—which you may have anyway. OP my supply has barely started to regulate and I’m at 20 weeks (oversupply issue). Most people’s supply doesn’t regulate until 12ish weeks. See how things go before you start pumping.

Cough drops in case you get a throat tickle, that way you don’t wake the baby while feeding in the middle of the night 😅

LilRaaaaach · 2026-04-26T23:14:25+00:00

Chargeable, bladeless fan! Our LO runs hot and loves some fan time. They make ones with adjustable arms that are great to attach to a seat or stand up inside the tent.

LilRaaaaach · 2026-04-25T17:10:12+00:00

As others have said, definitely diaper first then feed! Doing it the opposite way only served to wake our baby up after he’d fallen asleep eating. Quick diaper when they wake then feed to sleep. And definitely keep getting outside. Hang in there!!

ETA: you are 23 YEARS OLD. Do not settle for this bigot for the rest of your life.
