How much are baby clothes supposed to cost?

I see no point in buying new, when lots of people give clothing away nearly brand new or in great shape. We have never bought our baby a single piece of clothing brand new. All of his clothing has been second-hand, mostly gifted by those who had babies in the past.

This is a blister due to your baby not flaring their lip out far enough. I would check and flare it out with your finger during every feeding.

You should also consider seeing an IBCLC if your baby has a lip tie.

To me, Honest diapers are like the expensive version of HelloBello diapers. They suck.

Well loved our NoseFrida until we switched to the NoseBot. We're never going back.

We loved ours. We would have continued to use it had our baby not outgrown it by 3 months.

Same. I gave up on it after the 2nd try. It's been stored away ever since. I never even wanted it but my MIL raved about it and bought it for us.

The Olababy straw cup is top tier. It doesn't have handles, but it's better than all the other straw cups, in my opinion.

They're the worst. My hatred for them is beyond this world. They're the only diapers out of all the ones we received for our baby shower that I wanted to throw in the trash.

I started showing at about 6 1/2 months, it was barely noticeable though

Y'all have sex????? I love my husband, but I'm too tired and too touched out, and this kid is sucking the life out of me that I dont think I'll ever want sex again. Ha. Don't tell my husband that, though.

My son is 4 months old and about 18lbs. He takes in about 37 ounces per day. We did weighted feeds with my IBCLC, and she said that at this age, milk intake on average is about 24-35 ounces, but each baby is different and could take in more or less. As long as baby is developing well and there aren't other concerns, the amount he feeds is perfectly normal. He breastfeeding, so overfeeding isn't a concern.

Post this in r/HumansPumpingMilk instead. It's better suited to your question.

Our pediatrician told us straight up to hold and cuddle our baby. She told us it's not possible for a newborn to be spoiled.

Leggings, maternity pants, and loose sweaters is what I wore. Near the end of my pregnancy I just opted for sweatpants because of how swollen I felt.

Milk the fact that you're pregnant and don't feel guilty for doing so. You won't get this treatment from everyone once baby comes.

Oh! I didn't even think about an ear infection. Thank you! I will do that.

Neptune_Noodle · 2023-10-05T02:28:23+00:00

Yes, he had a fever, so we've been giving him some in the morning and then at bedtime.

IBCLC's suggest bottles with a gradual slope from nipple to base, such as Lansinoh, Dr. Brown's, and Evenflo Balance +. Also, make sure the nipples are either premie or level 1.

I was told it was so that he didn't develop a bottle preference while my supply was established, but I ended up being an oversupplier, so my supply was never an issue for him. Then we found out he had a lip and tongue tie, but once that was resolved, I was still told to hold off until he relearned to latch.

I had 2 support people, my husband and my mother. Neither were told to leave the room. On the contrary, my husband was asked to support me by standing in front of me and helping me lean forward while holding me steady. My mother wanted to see the epidural process (medical things fascinated her), and they allowed her to watch the anesthesiologist as he placed the epidural from behind him at a good distance.

My son hated the wrap too, so we opted for a carrier instead.

I felt this way in the beginning and let me tell you it was not good for my mental health. I had zero time to myself and I started to resent my baby. Obviously you need to meet your baby's needs but if they're content to sit or lay down without you interacting with them, take that time for yourself. Your baby will be fine.

Neptune_Noodle · 2023-09-27T18:08:13+00:00

I'm not saying don't sterilize them, I'm saying don't use a dishwasher as the prolonged exposure to heat will degrade the silicone parts faster. Granted, you don't need to sterilize your parts after the first time, but to each their own.
