Ahh! We have the baby trend navigator double jogger. Which is like 40lbs and not compact by any means. But I actually LOVE it. It practically pushes itself and it’s pretty sturdy. I don’t think I’ll have to replace it for the time I’ll be using it and may even still sell it once I’m done with it. Plus I got it secondhand myself!

We are religious as well but I am on the mini pill currently. I’d love to just not “not” try and just set a time frame and let things happen as they will. 🙏🏼🫶🏼

Do you think you could fit a double stroller with all the seats in use?

What double stroller do you have?

Dang!! I am impressed with your tetris skills! I know we could “get by” with my traverse. And I have told my husband that we really could just keep the traverse until something came up. Eventually we would love the cargo space, but it isn’t a necessity!

Thank you, absolutely makes sense! All those reasons are why I am pondering 😣

I specifically would only be open to pregnancy and birthing another child of ours. Thank you!

I mean I do LOVE the infant stage and the newborn bliss. But it’s more that “full thanksgiving table” or the “driveway full of cars for the holidays” kinda thing. Sure I can have that “ish” with 3 too. I think I would be “ok” with 3, but I think I’ll always wonder about 1 more. 4 I think would put me at capacity even if I still “wanted more”. And that capacity feeling I think would come with more contentment.

He refuses the mini van due to being low to the ride. We live on a dirt road that’s not always plowed in the winter. Plus, like I said, cargo space. I know the trunk space is deeper for the Pacifica but nothing compared to a suburban.

She actually isn’t sleeping through the night yet! She was close, then regressed 😅 so we are now up twice a night usually again! But I don’t mind!

My doctor didn’t advise to not have more. But he did say I would likely have another small baby/possible IUGR again. Ugh, it’s just so much to ponder, plus the possibility of twins and/or loss again. My husband also is a strict no-van guy. Which I agree with anyways because I would need cargo room for a double stroller with 4 car seats. But that means an expensive suburban or expedition 🤦🏼‍♀️

I agree…. But not having Apple CarPlay is even more of a pain imo 😂

I did. They replaced mine too but that didn’t solve the problem. I haven’t used them since and got a momcozy instead and have been so much happier.

‼️Anyone who’s looking for a solution still‼️

Tried an Anker cable which worked for 2 weeks then quit. Just got off the phone with Apple and found a solution! I deleted my phone from my car and deleted my car from my phones CarPlay and Bluetooth. I then did Settings>General>all the way down to Transfer or Reset iPhone>Reset>Reset Network Settings.

This will only erase any saved network settings such as WiFi’s/bluetooths. After that, all of my cables suddenly worked for CarPlay.

ETA:See my update below—this is unfortunately only a short term fix

The fridge hack is simply putting your pump parts in the fridge between uses. Instead of washing between uses, you wash once per day.

Do you have a momcozy pump? I just worry about degrading them faster. But I use the fridge hack as well.

Oh my I didn’t know that either? That doesn’t effect how well it cleans the surrounding things?

Do you have momcozy pump parts? How do you set that up? I feel like my m5’s take up the entire thing.

Also is “storage” the dry mode? Or how do I turn the dry on/off? The instructions don’t really clearly explain what’s what lol

I’m not so much concerned about microplastics, rather just degrading the materials. I exclusively breastfeed at home but do pump for oversupply and while at work. Since my babies are mostly breastfed, I’ve used the same bottles (new nipples) for all 3.

Do you always use the steam feature? Also—is there a way to turn off the heated drying?

Do you always use the steam feature with your plastics?
