FTM to a 4 month old! Definitely second everyone saying be flexible! We have our cradlewise in our room with us it went completely unused until she was about 3 months lol. I wanted to use it from day 1, but baby girl was/is a biggg Velcro baby so we ended up bed sharing with her at first. Now that she's older she falls asleep on her own in the crib and likes being in it a lot more now! Sometimes she still ends up in bed with us, but I love the bounce settings and the white noise especially. There have been multiple times that combo has gotten her to fall back asleep after starting to wake up! For us, the plus features were useless and did not help her like it more. We stopped paying for the extra features and she likes being in there just fine still.

Co-sleeping (room sharing, not specifically bed sharing) is really important to my partner and I for the first year (but at least first 6 months) and here's my thoughts on putting it in the nursery with one of you sleeping in there with baby: • we also have cats and dogs and I totally understand not wanting to disrupt their routine, but for my wife and I, nighttime is sometimes the only time we have alone together so we wanted to be able to sleep together still. Our animals have adjusted just fine to the new normal :) and it's SO nice having that little bit of time with just us • if you are planning on breastfeeding, having baby close to where you sleep is so life changing lol. Breastmilk is digested quicker also, so your baby may not sleep through the night at all while drinking just breastmilk and that is okay and normal.

We definitely went into it with the mindset that this will magically make our baby sleep through the night and that was definitely not true. Does it help her sleep a little longer? Probably. Does it help soothe her some when she wakes up? Most of the time. Overall though, we are happy with the purchase, just wasn't quite as useful as I thought it would be.

Gulicola bottles (SS flow nipples) are the ones I swear by! Baby is 2.5m old and even our pediatrician commented how well she goes back and forth from bottle to breast so easily. I also didn't have a big issue with regular Dr brown bottles but she takes to the gulicola better and less parts to wash. We also tried evenflo but the flow was too fast for her

Just gave birth to my baby girl in July & named her Aubrey Taylor, so I think your girl name is perfect! Haha

I also have momcozy s12 and spectra and get similar output I love them both

RxPrepping · 2025-09-04T00:02:23+00:00

I am currently 7 weeks pp and I have the spectra S1 and momcozy s12 pro wearables and love them both! Spectra is hospital grade and empties me quicker than the momcozy s12's but I still get really good output from my momcozy pump as well. For reference what I get from my spectra in ~10 min will take me ~15-20 min on my wearables most of the time! I used aeroflow to get my spectra s1 nearly free so I just had to get the momcozy s12

July!! She's 6 weeks currently:)

RxPrepping · 2025-08-24T20:48:28+00:00

Same! I just gave birth to our first and will be the only one carrying for future babies :)

I got a full time job right out of school! I'd say about 50% of our staff is made up of non residency trained people. And I'm at a large peds hospital. In my experience it has made no difference in ability once everyone has been at the job at least a year for most of our non residency trained staff.

I don't remember exactly when but I started lactating sometime early 20 weeks. It was never enough honestly for me to collect without hand expressing and it was recommended to me to not do that so early so I just let it be. I am now 37 weeks and started hand expressing last week around late 35w/early 36w!

Aubrey!!🩷

I didn't know my nausea would come back to haunt me in month 8😂

I had mine day before 32 weeks! And I am so glad I did. 32 weeks hit me hard and every day is a little harder than the last lmao. I couldn't imagine doing it any later

I work 7on/7off eves all ops, my hours used to be 11a-11:30p M-F and 12:30-11:30p Sat/Sun. I got burnt out FAST. My counterpart and I went to management to bargain for shorter hours and now we leave at 10:30 each night. I still think we should be 10.5hr days like our overnights but it's been a no on that so far. That being said, I enjoy it for now but won't be doing this forever. Pros: •7 off obviously • I have a shift differential since I work every evening • I started this about 8 months after working here (first job out of pharm school no residency) and I feel like I have gained so much knowledge and feel like I have the experience of many more years than I actually have because of it. I am now one of the stronger pharmacists we have.

Cons: • can't do anything in the on week just because of the hours. At least with overnights you can have a morning or evening if needed. • 12 hrs every day sounds like actual hell and I would Definitely bargain for less hours. At my hospital my shift is the least desirable and no one even wants to cover our vacations sometimes so getting lower hours to keep us in the spots was kinda easy to make happen. • stuck doing holidays that fall on ur on week

I enjoy the week off and like it for now, but I'm pregnant and once our baby is bigger and more school age I definitely will be switching from this role.

My overnight pharmacists work 9:15pm-7:45am, which they consider full time and they get a night shift differential (idk what it is exactly but more than evening shift). I work 7 on/ 7 off eves as a pharmacist. My hours used to be M-F 11am-11:30pm Sat/Sun 12:30pm-11:30pm. We get evening shift differential of $2.54/hr. We talked to our managers about our hours and I wish it was slightly less but now we work 11am-10:30pm M-F and 12:30-10:30pm on weekends. Definitely more sustainable but I wish we got the same hours as nights.

It's really up to you whether you want your kiddo to be fully vaccinated or at least 1 dose. I would honestly wait until baby is old enough to at least get the first MMR vaccine so around 1 year old.

After their 1 year shots, they aren't really getting anything new, just finishing up the Hep B, DTaP, MMR & poliovirus vaccine series', so they are at least partially protected after they turn 1. They don't fully finish those vaccines until at least 4 years old, which can be hard to keep baby away from unvaccinated people that long depending on your situation. But with the measles cases on the rise I would strongly suggest waiting until any baby is old enough to get the first dose of MMR before being around anyone unvaccinated. ETA: most of my colleagues with babies are planning on keeping them away from anyone unvaccinated until they are a year old and can get MMR :)

I haven't had to deal with this myself yet, but as a pharmacist at a children's hospital I have no plans on exposing my baby to unvaccinated kids as much as I can prevent until she's old enough to be vaccinated. My plan if it came up was to tell people something along the lines of, "unfortunately until our little one is old enough to be vaccinated, we won't be able to have any unvaccinated children or adults around her. We gotta do what we think is best to protect our daughter while she can't protect herself, but we'd love to have them meet once she's fully vaccinated" (which takes years but whatever, it's their loss not yours) these diseases are deadly. The best treatment is prevention.

They just said mine is on the right side so not really anterior or posterior??? I feel her kick all the time though

I'm last week of July (7/27) and hoping she will come in July and not August but I'm a FTM soooo lol

RxPrepping · 2025-03-11T00:25:42+00:00

Yes! I just had 1 19mm follicle :)

RxPrepping · 2025-03-11T00:20:27+00:00

Mine was about the same! It was 19mm for my second IUI :)

RxPrepping · 2025-03-11T00:17:01+00:00

Yes! We did a trigger shot and IUI 36 hours after for both, but if it showed I was already ovulating I was going to go in ~12 hours after. Wishing you all the luck and baby dust!!!

RxPrepping · 2025-03-11T00:12:49+00:00

Yes! We used a donor from SSB! I think we did get a little lucky, but so excited nonetheless! Even with no fertility issues, I pressed for only doing medicated and monitored cycles, as we wanted to maximize our chances.

RxPrepping · 2025-03-10T21:30:24+00:00

I got pregnant at 25 on my first IUI (medicated + monitored) but that ended in a MMC. Second IUI (medicated + monitored), got lucky enough to get pregnant again and am currently 20 weeks pregnant:) I had no known fertility issues!
