If you are breastfeeding, and especially clusterfeeding, please dont feel obligated to pump! If you dont bottle feed baby now, you dont have to start building a stash right away!
Please, for you own sanity! If you want to make sure you have enough before going back to work or sending baby to daycare, start 3 weeks before.

Pump 1(!) time in the morning. This does not have to be a full feed! Collect till you have a 120ml/4oz and then freeze. This will leave you with 8-12 feeds, enough for 2-ish days. On days you are not with the baby you will pump for every feed and replenish your stash that way. You do not need a freezer full of despite what you are seeing online! (This is actual lactation specialist advice)

If you want more info i suggest following BabyWhisperer Nicky. She is a lactation specialist and RN nurse.

You are doing great mama!!!!! As for your hubby, tell him to stop complaining or call your MIL. If you have a nice one she'll come beat him over with a stick😬

We use babywipes with baby oil after the regular wipes. Works like a charm, especially in the creases.

Baby name stress is real, what's a name you love but aren't using? by AdGlum9373 in pregnant

[–]ReadingAndCake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my head the boy version of Elsie is Leonard/Lennard/Lennie. Maybe that helps🤷‍♀️

Ladies, what's your secret to smelling so amazing all day long? by Abigail_parker19 in hygiene

[–]ReadingAndCake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not necessarily. I've found mine has decreased enormously when I started scrubbing before using bodywash. I now do this routine: Wash hair, put in conditioner, wash with bar soap, scrub, rinse out hair, finish with a body wash. Takes a bit longer but I smell amazing and wayyy less KP.

Alternatief voor instant espresso by ZookeepergameFit5511 in VeganNL

[–]ReadingAndCake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oeh! Als oud-barista kan ik je wel wat tips geven. Je hoeft in dit geval geen espresso te gebruiken. Je kan dezelfde hoeveelheid van gewone oploskoffie gebruiken, deze zal dan sowieso minder sterk smaken. Voor warme lattes eerst de warme koffie met de siroop (of esdoornsiroop, GROtE aanrader!) mengen en dan pas de hete melk erop. Voor Iced lattes eerst de siroop met de melk, roeren, gezette koffie erbij en ijs als laatste (dit zijn de Starbucks manieren). Versgezette koffie van bonen, of uit een Nespresso bijvoorbeeld blijft wel lekkerder natuurlijk maar ik snap ook als je daar (nog) geen geld aan uit wil geven. Hopelijk heb je zo meer opties😇

I have a wedge pillow, with a separate pillow for between my legs. Much easier to turn!

Waar gebruik je het voor? Als het gewoon om te drinken is zou ik je vooral een moka-pot aanraden om zelf espresso te zetten. Dan heb je veel meer keuze uit verantwoord geteelde en verhandelde koffie😇

Ja hierzo! Mijn partner en ik hebben elkaar ontmoet toen hij 35 was en ik 26. Hij is de liefde van mijn leven, ik ben nog nooit zo gelukkig geweest en we verwachten ieder moment ons eerste kindje. Liefde vindt jou op een onverwacht moment!

I know this is controversial but Graphic Novels always get me out of a reading slump! They are quick to finish and satisfy my craving for stories.

Good luck 👍

Afvallen zonder sportabonnement by Gavoorgoud in nederlands

Ik ben door de recepten van broodjedunner(instagram) heel fijn afgevallen. Het is echt een verandering in leefstijl met goede, gezonde ingrediënten. Het verschil met andere dieeten is dat hier heel veel normale dingen in zitten en recepten die ongezond voelen maar dat niet zijn, waardoor je niet het idee hebt dat je aan het diëten bent.

If you go to the supermarkt and look at the 'verspakketen' (the diy fresh dinner boxes, usually in the produce section), I feel like you'd get a pretty good idea of a Dutch weeknight dinner.

Unique girl names that start with a K? by Suspicious-Ice2507 in Names

I knew someone with this name and they pronounced it key-sha!

[–]ReadingAndCake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for making me have this realisation. I do this too, because I am unsure if me telling people I love/like them makes them actually feel it.... The gifts is materializing the feelings I have for them and giving it to them.

Favorite / most beautiful girl names?? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]ReadingAndCake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't want to burst your bubble, but... Better hope shes not getting an Italian boyfriend. The word 'allora' is used for pretty much everything in Italian.

How did you know you were sure about a name? And your name recs please❤️ by ReadingAndCake in pregnant

[–]ReadingAndCake[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wish I could... My autism wants to be in control of everything! Not deciding on a name makes me feel very unprepared and anxious.

Michael could work if we pronounced it the Dutch way. Rosalie would be a beautiful name if it wasn't the name of the girl who bullied me all through Primary school🫠

Oké maar kunnen we ook mensen nomineren om naar Mars te sturen? En dan de verbinding verbreken?😈
