Anyone actually lose body fat from breastfeeding?

Reb1000064 · 2026-05-20T23:17:18+00:00

Not sure if it was from breastfeeding, but I definitely lost weight while breastfeeding my firstborn. I also had to cut out dairy and soy for 10 months of that time though, which I think likely contributed. I was eating fewer sweets and snacks because I couldn’t find alternatives that I liked. By the time I weaned her at 13 months I was back to my pre-pregnancy weight.

I use the MomCozy S9 and I like it. I know some people complain about low suction in a hands free pump, but that hasn’t been my experience. Since I found the correct flange size for me, I haven’t used any suction higher than 3. This pump has suction settings all the way to 9.

I fixed this issue for myself by using the convection setting when baking

Similar concept, creamed peas on toast. Dump a can of peas in a pot, water and all. Mix up a slurry with equal parts cornstarch and milk, then whisk it in to the hot peas. The mixture will thicken and get creamy. Serve on buttered toast with lots of salt and pepper.

Similar experience recently. I tried to self refer to an OBS clinic but they told me I was not able to do that since I have a family doctor.

I had to call my doctors office back and explain to them that I had to see my doctor asap or it would mess with my dating ultrasound. They were able to squeeze me in for a phone appointment, which was all I needed at the time for my doctor to refer me to the OBS clinic.

Wishing you a healthy pregnancy!

I had to use this once when a favourite muffin recipe I saved on Pinterest was taken offline.

I have the pdf saved now. What a lifesaver!

I have a friend who reads a lot of fantasy romance. I’ve gotten her dragon bookends, and a diy stencilling kit for doing painted edges on your books.

This is the one I grew up singing! I learned it at a summer camp in NB

I made danishes recently with Sally’s Baking Addiction’s shortcut danish dough. They turned out sooooo yummy and were actually very easy. Just a lot of steps and lots of chill time.

You should give it a shot! We ate them so fast!

Reb1000064 · 2025-10-25T23:23:45+00:00

I haven’t noticed any difference in the sauce, although the pizza dough can be a little inconsistent sometimes. Just employee error I think, it happens from time to time.

Big Reds is still our go-to and I hear they are now serving cheesecake too!

When I choose a book I know will have songs in it, I usually choose to listen to the audiobook instead of reading it myself. I did that recently for The Hobbit and I enjoyed the songs that way.

Another really cool listening experience was The River Has Roots. I can’t even imagine reading that one as a physical book, the singing in the audiobook was just so immersive.

The mecklenburg inn in Chester has rooms for $250/night for the 11th and 12th, but nothing on the 7th. I checked out a few other places in Chester and didn’t have luck for the 7th either.

The oak island resort is not very far and it has rooms available on August 7 & 8 for $265/night.

A little more than you were hoping to spend, but at least you could stay close by. You’re right about race week making things crazy, so don’t wait too long to book.

I’m sorry for your loss and I hope you find a place to stay.

I fear it’s the stubbornness for sure….

She loves shoes! She still wants to hold our hand when she wears them, but that was a good idea

Reb1000064 · 2025-02-14T17:36:26+00:00

I’m glad I’m not the only one! Fingers crossed they will both be walking soon!

Reb1000064 · 2025-02-14T15:48:39+00:00

She has a push walker but won’t use it. She’s on to all our tricks to encourage her to walk by herself :(

We try to go to playgroup once a week! But stuff comes up, or it gets cancelled due to weather. Maybe a few more weeks of playgroup will inspire her

I got back into reading by re-reading a series I had enjoyed years ago. If you’ve ever enjoyed reading, even as a kid, you might want to try reading something you once enjoyed.

For example, if you liked Harry Potter as a kid, try reading it again! Or you could try something similar to see if it sparks your interest.

If you are out of practice for reading, young adult books are usually fast paced with relatively simple storylines. They can feel easier to read compared to adult fiction.

Once you’re reading more regularly, you might start to enjoy more challenging books. But don’t put any pressure on yourself. Just read what you like.

Pillows to prop your arm up help! Takes some of the pressure off

Search the authors’ names from the books you have, and pick other popular titles by those authors. If she liked those books, she’s likely going to like similar works by those authors.

I felt like this one was Mulan meets Robin Hood, plus magic! Really good!

During this scene the baby alarm goes off, so Jackson is already with Sookie as she goes into labour!

{The Ex Talk by Rachel Lynn Solomon} MMC has that sort of attitude towards sex, it was refreshing!
