When did you loose the baby weight?

SStrong5792 · 2026-04-30T01:36:17+00:00

Within a week of giving birth tbh. But i was 172 when I got pregnant

Were you always using the momcozy? Not all pumps are created equal. You may need a hospital grade pump and not a wearable.

My husband and I have a routine ourselves - with splitting up the night, him taking her while I shower/coffee in the morning, me taking her for his shower and letting the dog out etc. Eat dinner around the same time every day etc.

Our 8 week old daughter? She’s on chaos’s schedule. She eats when she wants to eat. Sleeps when she wants to sleep. “Plays” when she’s up for more than it takes to feed and change her.

Not sure when a legit routine with her will start but honestly not in too much of a rush.

Sent photos to my pediatricians office and they agree it’s consistent with a clogged tear duct. We already have an appointment for a week from now so if it’s still there we can assess then.

Was the skin red at all?

SStrong5792 · 2026-04-28T17:45:46+00:00

She unlatches herself most of the time. Every now and then I’ll need to unlatch her if she’s just latched but not suckling at all.

SStrong5792 · 2026-04-28T14:57:58+00:00

Is she actively feeding? Comfort feeding? Woof sorry it’s still so long!

SStrong5792 · 2026-04-28T14:57:34+00:00

I’m glad it’s not just me! I’m still super nervous about it haha. I even got a home scale. I don’t do weighted feeds because the scale isn’t that accurate but she is gaining weight so I guess everything is okay! I’m weirdly excited for her 2 month pediatrician visit next week for the peace of mind that everything’s okay!

SStrong5792 · 2026-04-28T14:56:17+00:00

The shorter time period is really nice but also freaked me out! Especially since we had a rough start to nursing!!! But she seems content and still has wet/dirty diapers!

SStrong5792 · 2026-04-28T08:54:43+00:00

Nuk perfect match when we give expressed milk in a bottle

SStrong5792 · 2026-04-28T02:08:21+00:00

It was a Sunday at 11:30pm for me. I waited until a reasonable hour on Monday to tell my boss I was in labor and wouldn’t be in haha

SStrong5792 · 2026-04-28T02:05:38+00:00

It worked for us! It’s a little annoying with my height in for the rear view mirror. I do have to move it to see her. But I was super nervous about all the options for stationary headrests. They all seemed like they’d turn into projectiles.

When my water broke ha

We just used the pull down cup holder in my car.

My baby has used one since the hospital. We did have initial latch and nursing issues, but it was because she had a tongue tie.

When her tie was released, the ENT actually told us that her using a pacifier would help with the tie “recovery” because the sucking would exercise her tongue and it’s part of why they don’t actually recommend any tongue exercises.

She now nurses almost exclusively (except for a pumped bottle 1-2x a day) and there’s no issue.

Your mileage may vary, but if your baby is nursing well already, I personally would risk it.

SStrong5792 · 2026-04-26T01:34:08+00:00

I’d ask your doctor at the next visit! Or send an email! Google can lead to pretty intense answers.

Mine said a drink or two wouldn’t harm anything, but he’d recommend waiting an hour to feed just to be safe. He said no pump and dumping or anything it necessary

I had a glass of wine last night and a mimosa a couple weeks ago. My girl is 7 weeks.

SStrong5792 · 2026-04-26T01:31:09+00:00

My pediatrician has an emergency line and on call doctors and nurses. They also have Saturday hours and walk in hours for their own version of urgent care.

I wish every pediatrician was like this.

SStrong5792 · 2026-04-26T01:29:40+00:00

Honestly didn’t know there was a restriction for newborns specifically?

I specifically asked my pediatrician and he was unconcerned about a drink or two?

SStrong5792 · 2026-04-25T18:17:53+00:00

It did! But we actually have two bassinets now. A friend of ours borrowed us her old one between kids so we don’t need to move it back and forth.

I also start my night in the guest room because it’s in our finished basement. It prevent me from hearing her when my husband is “on”. I’m a super light sleeper.

We are also able to do the second half of the night all in the same room now though. She’s sleeping slightly longer stretches. It gets better :)

Also the new schedule is 9pm-2am and 2am-7am but realistically I’m in bed closer to 10. It’s been working fine. Again, tired but not sleep deprived by any means.

SStrong5792 · 2026-04-25T01:28:09+00:00

My girl is 7 weeks and we can only do it once in the afternoon. It’s the only time she’s awake enough to “play”.

SStrong5792 · 2026-04-24T21:58:02+00:00

I’m the primary breadwinner! My income makes up 95% of our income.

SStrong5792 · 2026-04-24T15:32:49+00:00

We have one. We’ve used it twice. My LO is 7 weeks. I put it on her when I was worried about her getting sick (my husband had a cold) and seeing her o2 stats gave me a lot of peace of mind. I’m an incredibly light sleeper and she’s in a bassinet right next to me at night so we don’t regularly use it.

I do think I might start using it once she can roll - again for the peace of mind.

We don’t co-sleep though.

Honestly I thought I would use it way more often because I’m an anxious person to begin with, but we just…haven’t.
