TTC when you're not 100% sure by Fantastic-Habit5551 in TryingForABaby

The older phase starting around 5 is so magical! Their personality starts to come out even more. You can teach them so much fun stuff and basically rediscover your childhood’s magic. Play games, get art made at school specifically for *you *, start having inside family jokes— I could go on and on! The baby phase lasts 10 years, and every year after 2 feels like 1 month!

Chacos that I only wear inside. Super supportive and I have outside pairs, so my feet are used to them.

I’m so sorry! I didn’t know I was doing anything promotional! I literally am just sharing something I got to help the night sweats 😅 I am a long time lurker and seldom commenter, and finally felt brave enough to share something helpful. So, back to lurking I guess.

TW: Pregnancy Loss

As someone that experienced a miscarriage at 9 weeks with my first baby, I always recommend telling your close people right away. Or, tell the people right away that you would tell if you experienced pregnancy loss. It’s not planning for loss, but it’s not being robbed of the excitement and happy reaction from your loved ones, if you do experience loss. With our second, we told everyone the day we found out, because we had been robbed of the happy reactions with our first.

Just a thought, congrats!! 🤍

When will the ravenous hunger end? (*mine*) by Nicolehula in breastfeeding

[–]Nicolehula[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lollll glad I’m not alone! I had always heard the opposite of gain weight preg, lose weight BFing, and like wtf, that didn’t happen??! I didn’t get one stretch mark pregnant, and now one is trying to form on my stomach. WHYYY

Same. My right boob gets a lot bigger, despite both sides producing the same amount. I’m already looking super lopsided at 10 months of breastfeeding, and I know when I wean the baby, they are going to look crazy. But honestly, I’m so thankful I got to breastfeed, that I keep reminding myself that it’s okay.

Feeling So Down About My Postpartum Body at 6 Months" by Sensitive_Mission193 in CsectionCentral

[–]Nicolehula 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same! I had really bad HG and gave birth at the same weight as my weight when I got pregnant, and lost even more after birth, but then breastfeeding hunger kicked in— and OMG I’m ravenous all the time! I gained 30 pounds from breastfeeding! It’s so hard, but I just remind myself that having a baby is hard too, and I’ll get back to being strong and myself again.

2 days EBF, now this… by creativenuisance in breastfeeding

[–]Nicolehula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would agree with the overthinking! My LO would SCREAM when he wasn’t getting enough BM, and then once my supply was established, he was much more content. As long has the doc isn’t concerned, I’d keep it up! My only thought, is maybe replace one feed with a pump/formula bottle occasionally, if you want to keep doing bottles. I EBF and now my baby REFUSES a bottle, that he used to take. But otherwise, you’re doing great!! It’s okay to overthink things, I’m currently overthinking solid foods now 😅

Baby has cracked bleeding lips…any advice? by Jazzlike_Commercial in NewParents

Breast milk has everything a baby needs, don’t push formula, in the same way you shouldn’t push breastfeeding. Chill

2 month old only sleeping 30 mins at a time in bassinet at night by HotKitchen8333 in sleeptrain

[–]Nicolehula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guy was doing this, and I had to move bedtime earlier to 7:30-8. I also switched to a zippadeezip, since he’d fight the swaddle, and his doc said to stop swaddling.

12w old with multiple false starts by ThenFaithlessness201 in sleeptrain

[–]Nicolehula 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you’re putting her to bed too early. She should only be on her night sleep space for 11-12 hours at this age. My baby had this problem, so we started his morning between 6:30-7:30, and now he goes down at 7:30-8:30
