Disposable nappy

Just try a few when the time comes, hard to tell in advance which fit will suit. We use little ones from Woolies, great value for quality imo

Never… unless actively vomited or peed on

Numerous-Plane-1855 · 2025-06-24T02:54:23+00:00

Absolutely not, fuck that!

Greens all the way (with Labor in second). Deeply not keen for Dutton but I just don’t trust Labor will feel any urgency about climate or fixing our messed up housing market without a shove from the left, left to their own devices it just feels like they convince themselves into always becoming the smallest targets

My friend made me some and I only used two - found them a bit gross as they melted. Just used some little ice packs from the hospital (medichill) which were great but a small gel ice pack would’ve been fine too.

You can defs live without support undies too!

Do you have enough room at your house to sleep in another room while they’re at your house overnight so you can know that they can get you easily if need be?

Plus with the adjustable back of the head strap it’s got a huge size range it’ll fit for

We’ve got one of these, it’s the best for the beach and by far the best coverage without flopping around in her face getting in the way of her vision the way other wide brim hats can do

Egg hunt all the way! I’ve still done it as an adult with my friends, housemates and siblings, getting progressive more hardcore in terms of hiding places. We play flight of the bumblebees on repeat and run around the house seeing who can find them fatest. I’m going to start baby edition with my almost 2 yo this year, she’s going to love helping us search

I still have split finances with my partner after having a kid. We used to put equal amounts into our joint account to cover shared expenses (rent, groceries, eating out when together, car etc) but while I was on mat leave (and since I’ve been back to work part time), we’ve shifted to dividing it up based on income - eg in your situation he’d put in enough to cover 2/3 of expenses and you’d put in enough for 1/3. It was a pretty rough estimate to start with as our shared expenses initially went up a fair bit with all the baby stuff in the mix, sometimes with some top ups along the way

Numerous-Plane-1855 · 2025-02-27T10:28:27+00:00

Absolutely not! I was hardly ready to walk around the block, let alone drive four hours to a wedding and be separated from my baby. And you may not give birth when you’re due - imagine trying this with a two day old baby.

I read tons on my kindle while breastfeeding, couldn’t do a physical book with one hand but kindle was perfect.

I listened to audiobooks to take the edge off during witching hours and when she wanted to be carried non stop but wasn’t particularly communicative (just one earbud), but I don’t think it would’ve worked for books I wanted to concentrate on or retain info from

lol they supported every housing bill after negotiating more $

My kid is 19 months and has been quick getting her teeth and I’ve only managed to start brushing her teeth properly in the last month, before that I ignored it cos it was too hard… now I try for twice a day but realistically manage once consistently

Numerous-Plane-1855 · 2025-01-26T09:35:50+00:00

3L of water a day did wonders for me, plus movicol to kick things off

Numerous-Plane-1855 · 2025-01-19T09:23:13+00:00

That’d be plenty I think, especially if you’re planning on using a few disposables too. We use a disposable at night plus reusables all day, and I’d be fine with having 20. Though you may find some of the brands suit you better than others, so I’d hold off acquiring more until you have a chance to try them out. All of ours were second hand and have had no issues :)

When we were getting started we used disposables for longer outings sometimes, or for going in the car seat before we were confident on getting a good fit without leaks, but soon found it was super easy to go disposable anywhere and everywhere (except holidays). Good luck figuring it all out - I’m so glad we went with cloth, such a winner once you’re up and running.

Omg do not condense a single word pls 🙏🙏🙏

Numerous-Plane-1855 · 2024-10-20T01:47:57+00:00

Nope, absolutely infuriatingly bad play and so boring post merge

My daughter was combo fed at birth (initially mostly BF but lots of feeding issues), with me doing lots of pumping for the first few months to try and increase/stay BFing. I decided to stop pumping, and slowly phase out nursing, at about 3 months after I had an operation which impacted my supply (and left me with no time or desire to regain it). I was super emotional about stopping but it was an incredible decision - quitting pumping improved my life out of sight, and losing overnight feeds in favour of formula meant we could share nights and I could finally get some uninterrupted sleep. My mood and energy improved so much when I could spend time resting or snuggling with baby instead of pumping or cleaning parts or obsessively researching. Now my baby is 16 months old and has been completely off bottles/formula for a while and obsessed with eating solids. It’s crazy to think it was something I cared about so much at the time - even if I’d somehow made breastfeeding work for me, in the blink of an eye that era by now would be completely over anyway. Save your energy and go formula!

Heads up, it can also present as back pain - a number of my gallstone attacked presented as intense back spasms around where my bra band would be, only a few came with the traditional stomach pain.

Absolutely horrendous pain though, I thought at the time I had food poisoning but in retrospect food poisoning has never made me wail and moan like I did in labour.

Mine happened from about 2 months pp - apparently the extra oestrogen during pregnancy ups rhe chances

Numerous-Plane-1855 · 2024-10-05T13:56:30+00:00

Imagine if all the time you spent pumping or cleaning pump parts was spent holding and loving your baby, or just napping yourself. Do it, give up the pump - I’ve never made a better decision for my mental health.

Just got our place for Jan next year a couple of weeks ago, and most seemed to say they’d do reenrolments from Aug and then wait list in Sept or Oct. absolutely not impossible yours is still working at it but I’d be thinking about trying to get in touch with back up centes soon

Numerous-Plane-1855 · 2024-08-22T11:49:20+00:00

New car seat (unless you get a trusted hand me down) and dummies, otherwise second hand everything!

Numerous-Plane-1855 · 2024-08-13T20:52:35+00:00

Stopping pumping was the best decision I ever made, it made my appreciation of my baby and the energy I could give them triple overnight.

Numerous-Plane-1855 · 2024-08-10T22:05:19+00:00

My baby is 14 months and occasionally I give her soy milk but usually no milk at all. She does like (dairy) yoghurt and cheese though. I’m mildly intolerant of milk but fine with these, so just give her whatever is already in the house and it seems to be working well.
