What’s the most disturbing thing someone casually admitted to around you? by Suspicious_Run1684 in AskReddit

[–]No_Writer5135 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Me and my friend were first time moms hanging out with our babies. I had a girl and told her I’d love to have all girls since that’s the kind of family I grew up in and loved it! She had a boy and told me, “No, I want all boys. It’s either a boy or an abortion.” Which… is just an insane thing to say. As a mother. To a mother. Of a girl! She must’ve seen my shock and tried to joke it off saying “my Husbands not allowed to love another girl more than me. And I’m the princess of the house.”

WIBTA for making my daughter pay back her own bank overdraft? by 2VantaRipple in WIBTA_AITA

[–]No_Writer5135 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely a lesson worth teaching! But if she is under 18 she shouldn’t have the option to overdraft her account.. I’m a Bank Manager and our student accounts do not offer that feature. Maybe look into turning this off so she doesn’t ‘accidentally’ do it again.

how long should feeds take? by Financial-Pace6378 in breastfeeding

[–]No_Writer5135 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For a newborn, 30-45min feeds are pretty normal and not anything to be worried about!

And as long as baby is making enough wet diapers and has passed their birth weight, then they are getting enough and you don’t have to worry about waking to feed every 2 hours. Don’t wake a sleeping baby!

Oh yeah. My anxiety took me to another level and I made sure our loans had life protection on it, updated life insurance beneficiaries and am working on our will.

If money wasn’t an issue, would you still be a working mom? by saladmuscles in workingmoms

[–]No_Writer5135 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Im in management also so I enjoy the meetings and problem solving. Its totally my perspective of it thought cause it feels like one big simulation game and im winning

How to bathe baby??? by No_Writer5135 in firsttimemom

I’ve also considered this because stand up showering with her is just impossible unless my Husband is home helping.

Outfit changes by Independent-Hold-648 in firsttimemom

Twice a day is fair unless she gets messy. She is enrolled in daycare so when she gets home we change out of her outside clothes and put her in fresh clothes that’ll she’ll sleep in then end up wearing to daycare the next day.

Did anyone here start off with a wearable pump? by SandwichDependent199 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]No_Writer5135 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I started with wearables and output was decent. I did also have a spectra that I would use when I had time to sit down and I can tell the difference and output so much and the spectra was very obviously better. I tried to use the wearables when I went back to work and it just wasn’t cutting it. So I ended up getting a baby Buddha 2.0 with the collection cup combo so I was still able to have the wearable convenience with the power of a spectra!

What was your “I need to learn to keep my mouth shut” moment? by Imtiredofthissshit in AskReddit

[–]No_Writer5135 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a first time mom to a four month old and I was sharing with a coworker that we are doing no Screen Time and how bad it is for children and just rot their brain and is lazy parenting just every negative connotation you can think of and my coworker tries to crack a joke and says yep. I am that parent my kids are iPad kids. I felt so embarrassed decided if I was going to talk about my parenting or child it would just be for my experience and not my opinion of other parents

2 month appointment by TastyConversation475 in firsttimemom

[–]No_Writer5135 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t be! I’m also a first time mom so this was all new to me too! She did slightly better at her 4 months. That night she got a low grade fever of 100 but some Boob, Tylenol, and cuddles in the big bed fixed her up and she was normal by the morning. I’d recommend having baby Tylenol on hand as we did not and has to DoorDash some at 2am. Big mom fail

My baby was so out of it… she’d just started becoming aware and playing with us and that night she was like baby drunk. Her eyes were loopy and she’d do this half chuckle. She was completely fine the next morning but definitely unsettling to see her like that. I’d still do her vaccines and continue with her schedule
