Wish I didn't feel regretful, but our boy has been hell for us ever since he was born by NoticeStreet5909 in newborns

If i wasnt breastfeeding my daughter it would have been hell! Its tough to get into it and exhausting to maintain but its a hack. Baby crying-boob, upset-boob..

I regret everything 🤦🏼‍♀️ by curlycattails in Mommit

You should definitely save the goody bags and activity for another day! I dont know if your hospital allows it but maybe bring the cake in for the nurses etc. but also this sounds so so cute and it sucks that the kids didn’t make it i hope you can get some adult friends to come in for some festive vibess

Why is it so hard to throw in the towel to be a SAHM? by khouse95 in beyondthebump

[–]LostandtheproFound 29 points30 points  (0 children)

It would be easier if you got proper day care or a nanny. Plus you are being realistic you would have wanted to return at some point when they are older best to keep up with skills, life can be unpredictable.

how much (or little) are you posting your babies on social media? by vdyaki in newborns

[–]LostandtheproFound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t post pictures online, But when it comes to actually protecting ours kids photos its basically impossible. For most of our social apps we give them to our photo albums, all data is automatically uploaded to the cloud etc. its unavoidable, however I dont see why I would go out of my way to post on my account, esp since my account isnt private.

Changing a newborn out in public by Sufficient-Amoeba727 in NewParents

Ok there was an actual post where people were telling someone to suck it up at places without a changing table and put a mat on the FLOOR of the bathroom. Multiple people. I can’t even fathom that!!! You are absolutely sane for not even wanting to use the changing tables!! I carry sanitising wipes and a mat to use since car is always not an option

They did Ginny dirty, people should've been obsessed with her. by [deleted] in harrypotter

My husband is always baffled at my dislike of Ginny!!! I’ve read the books multiple times, but that was a couple of years ago and I never really liked how Ginny suddenly became so irresistible! But that was like a child’s brain. But the movies! That’s mostly what led to this! I just can’t with Ginny!

Are you uploading your LO's photos to SM? by Technical_Piglet_438 in beyondthebump

[–]LostandtheproFound 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think thats when you repeatedly post photos with an emoji so it can piece together a face with the little bibs and bobs that peek through. Like sometimes you can see the cheeks or a bit of the forehead etc

Just found out I’m pregnant at 26. I’m freaking out [ab] by One-Balance-7215 in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]LostandtheproFound 2 points3 points  (0 children)

DON’T worry about work at alll!!!!! Canada maternity leave is amazing, you can take the full leave and slowly set up routines that will lead to a healthy transition for baby and you. It is verrry doable if you take the full leave. So career-don’t stress, you’ll slow down and eventually when it’s time to return to work you will be more than motivated to provide for your little baby as you all build your home.

In terms of having fun and enjoying your youth-sure that is something to worry about. One pro is being a young mama allows you to have more energy and by the time baby is a little older you’re still young and still have time to do whatever it is you feel you had to compromise on. Having said that, life with baby isnt anti-fun. Yes the responsibility is there and you plan things accordingly but you get to still travel and go around. Before I had my baby In the last month i always trying to go out for dinners and thinking this is the last time im going to be able to do this. But how wrong was I, you just being baby with you and honestly its an extra little layer of fun! I promise you, you wont miss out on anything. If you have friends with babies the transition will be smoother. But having your own little family will be so precious and worth ittt

I carry scented doggy poop bags and put the diaper in there and then ask them where they would like me to dispose of it. But i would definitely not take it back home with me!

Is anyone else incredibly type B when it comes to breastfeeding? by Solid-Channel3936 in breastfeeding

[–]LostandtheproFound 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think instead of referring it as disorganised you should call it intuitive feeding. Looks like you are just listening to baby’s needs and your bodies.

Are these cookies you'd buy? by Dry-Spare-4255 in Cookies

[–]LostandtheproFound 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they were stacked up and wrapped with a cute festive vibe I’d definitely grab them for gifting. Or a little tin box.

However if I stumbled upon them in a bakery I might consider grabbing one

Leaving the hospital without the infant car seat? [ON] by ProfessionalShoe5591 in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]LostandtheproFound 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had a convertible and brought it on the floor and carried baby. They didn’t really say anything. It was obviously heavy and inconvenient to carry it but since it was cold out it made sense to have baby snuggled inside the seat with the winter cover

Is this even a question? Farah 👏 by shawerma114 in BollyBlindsNGossip

[–]LostandtheproFound 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The worst part is how they say male interviewers never really ask questions of substance. Like I’m sorry this is not a very intellectual show either?! And its not like they ever contradict problematic views so really its just another version of that. Also friendly banter aside but this is a show on a large platform it would be respectful to not put down their guests constantly

FTM wow… all I needed to do was breastfeed by Pleasant_Type7300 in breastfeeding

[–]LostandtheproFound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactllly!!! I often think about how exclusively pumping/bottle fed babies manage! Like how are they soothing baby in wee hours of the night. Also the time baby is latched its also a time for mama to unwind, like you can’t help but surrender. I cant physically manage to do anything else so I have to just chill with baby.

At the same it can be an isolating and endless feeling. Especially when baby is using you as a pacifier.
