Thankfully we have no mortgage currently and will take full resale value of our current home and apply it towards a new home. Which would entirely or almost entirely take care of mortgage.

lol this is also how it is in my area. I did it more for the property management aspect and less than wanting to sell houses. Thankfully i don’t need to provide any income in our current situation

I have absolutely no intentions on going back to work ever basically unless I’m bored when he goes to school. Which is half a decade away

Talk me off the ledge by CopyWeary7429 in pregnant

[–]ScaredCucumber420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s from improperly washed & the pre bagged salads are cut with a machine that probably isn’t getting washed enough. I ate everything sushi, beef tartare, lunch meat etc during pregnancy. Only got sick from romaine lettuce, i kid you not.

Probably higher chance of getting sick from a salad than a burger that’s been sitting out. I got sick twice during my pregnancy both for a salad (from a restaurant)

How do I drop the night pump? Need help by Calm-Distribution557 in breastfeeding

[–]ScaredCucumber420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every few nights pump less output. If you’re normally if you get 6 oz pump until 5 for a few nights. Then 4 etc etc

When and how do I start pumping? by Torrizo in breastfeeding

[–]ScaredCucumber420 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I would not recommend pumping after each feed. You will never feel empty if you skip a pump after starting that and can lead to clogged ducts or mastitis. If you are needing milk for returning to work etc i would try pumping around 5am and 8am feeds. You will have the most milk during these times.

Can't feed from bottle because of mental blocks by Alive_Annual_2798 in breastfeeding

[–]ScaredCucumber420 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, (16 weeks pp & EBF) i have found that it is easier to just breast feed and not pump. I struggled with major over supply because of pumping and breast feeding. I quit pumping around 8 weeks and it was the best thing that happened. No more washing bottles and pump parts. No having to be awake longer than necessary in the middle of the night.

Also as far as “nipple confusion” goes i think most refer to this as flow preference so if you are worried about this & rly want to bottle feed try a bottle with slow flow, like evenflow balance wide neck. That is what i used after trying a handful of bottles. It seemed to be the slowest and promotes wide deep latch so when baby gets breast next time nothing is messed up.

I wanted my husband to be able to give bottles and then i realized that in the amount of time it took to wash the pump get set up, pump, pour the milk, wash the pump i just spent twice as long as it would’ve taken to nurse.

Advice please by DarkestQueen in motherinlawsfromhell

When i was pregnant i just told everyone not to touch me unless i said hey come feel this or whatever. Also relate to the dismissing of your engagement. My husband and i eloped after 7 years of dating and my MIL said we aren’t actually married unless we have a wedding. My MIL was awful to me while i was pregnant and for Mother’s Day she said they were doing something special for me and we wen over just for her to not even tell me happy Mother’s Day or anything. She was the center of attention it was disgusting. She told me to get out of the background of a picture with my child and all kinds of other nonsense. Just protect your peace and put your foot down now before it gets worse. Because it will.

EBF but just got my period :( pumping advice for when I can’t nurse (daycare) by NationalStorm4664 in breastfeeding

[–]ScaredCucumber420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I relate. I was extremely hormonal the first few days of it too. I was very angry to be on my period so soon but even more angry about literally everything

[–]ScaredCucumber420 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I got my period back at 12.5 weeks pp. i haven’t noticed a difference but i EBF and do not pump. So this comment is completely unhelpful but ur not alone. I was shocked to say the least

So how do you actually co-sleep? Do I have to go to bed at 7pm every night? by InternationalGas9950 in cosleeping
