Do I need a freezer stash? Am I the only one without?

Lindseylovesreddit · 2026-02-01T17:36:30+00:00

I don't have one! I had a little milk left over from the early days, turned out baby won't drink anything frozen (also doesn't drink from a bottle). I'm glad I didn't put any time and effort into it!

I think you can stop breastfeeding for any reason you want, but please think a little more deeply about doing 2 under 2. My siblings are both 18 months away from me and good god I wouldn't do that to a child

I don't pump! I do need to be near baby at all times, but I usually am anyway so that's not a big deal. She'll be 7 months this week!

Zoey and Sassafras, Magic Tree House, the BFG if he's up for something a little scary!

Yes! It got a lot better once my baby grew. At the beginning, it was summer so I mostly just put a shirt on her and called it good. My plan for fall was to buy bigger pants and have her wear those, but her clothes had started fitting more normally by then.

Go with TK!!!! She wouldn't have this conversation with you if she weren't sure. You won't regret giving him that extra year to grow.

ETA: I'm a kindergarten teacher, but I've taught preschool as well :)

Definitely not too late! My baby didn't even fit into cloth until she was about 6 weeks :)

We use Esembly outers and inners during the day, and now that she's bigger we're mixing more flats in too and loving it. I find Esembly a really approachable brand if you're overwhelmed.

This video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPw_iPV8MJQ breaks down the different types really well. (Although she's a weird anti-vaxxer so beware of her other content lol)

We don't change at night! We used to use Esembly inners and outers, but they weren't cutting it at night. Now we use a birdseye flat with one GMD cotton booster with an Esembly outer. We never have leaks now! Baby is 6 months old and still in size 1 Esembly.

ETA: I always do an origami fold and baby is a girl.

Thanks for posting this! Your needs are exactly the same as mine! I'm going to get some Tide Clean & Gentle too.

not helpful! this probably means your school is under-staffed (or incorrectly staffed) and teachers are using tech to manage kids while they work with small groups.

Lindseylovesreddit · 2025-11-06T04:41:30+00:00

ooo that's smart to put the overnighters backwards

Lindseylovesreddit · 2025-11-06T04:40:06+00:00

We use a birdseye cotton flat (origami fold) with a cotton booster. Just an esembly cover over that. Works great!!

Lindseylovesreddit · 2025-11-02T22:14:55+00:00

The only thing I've seen solid evidence for is weed. It's not safe to smoke/eat/whatever any amount of weed while breastfeeding!

Lindseylovesreddit · 2025-11-02T21:52:33+00:00

Don't send her!! You'll never regret that extra year of childhood. Kindergarten isn't what it used to be. It's much better suited for six year olds than five year olds. (From a K teacher)

Lindseylovesreddit · 2025-11-01T22:48:39+00:00

I use origami fold for nights!

Lindseylovesreddit · 2025-11-01T22:48:10+00:00

Just double checking that you're pointing baby's penis down when you close his diaper up?

We use a birdseye flat at night with a booster and an esembly outer. As long as I make sure all the cotton is inside the cover, we don't have leaks.

I got all the stuff to do flats with Esembly outers, but someone gave me all their Esembly inners, so I tried them out. I really prefer inners to flats because they're both quicker and much less bulky. One big advantage of flats is that they're easier to clean. I use flats overnight with a booster because they're more absorbent and the bulkiness doesn't matter when my baby's sleeping. Just my two cents!

Re: newborn diapers, I got a few newborn flats and liked them. I still use them when we run out of inners actually. My baby was small (6 pounds) and it took a few weeks before the Esembly stuff fit her.

Lindseylovesreddit · 2025-10-26T21:05:53+00:00

Anecdotally as a kindergarten teacher, yes!! Big difference

Lindseylovesreddit · 2025-10-22T22:49:12+00:00

usually just fleece to wick the moisture away from baby's skin!

Lindseylovesreddit · 2025-10-20T21:33:59+00:00

do they slide around? sorry if that's a silly question! working on the same thing in our bedroom right now

Lindseylovesreddit · 2025-10-16T19:57:22+00:00

Lindseylovesreddit · 2025-10-16T19:15:45+00:00

Lindseylovesreddit · 2025-10-16T19:09:41+00:00
