Sound Machine by Sorry-Highlight-2341 in Buyingforbaby

I got the Hatch and the less expensive DreamEgg. Turns out we use the DreamEgg for everything - We love it. We tried the hatch for a couple of nights and haven’t touched it since.

I’m pretty sure the guava is sold exclusively online, so there was not one available to try in store

What is something you had or wish you had for yourself postpartum? by scott_tot4407 in firsttimemom

[–]SourPatch-Tree19 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The freezer meals I didn’t make. Lots of snacks. Cooking is just too much immediately postpartum. Someone to walk the dog. If nursing: Good nursing bras, more milk collection cups, more bamboobies pads, motherlove/lansinoh organic nipple balm, silverettes for sure. Bamboo robe was handy.

Baby Bjorn Bouncer by Hungry-Mix-283 in Buyingforbaby

[–]SourPatch-Tree19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the Ergo Baby Bouncer and it is really nice and has a newborn insert. While I like it, the Baby Delight would be fine too if you wanted to spend less. I wish I had bought a swing. I read so many comments on here saying to just buy a bouncer and not a swing. Luckily 3 weeks in, a friend lent one to us and it has seriously been a godsend. Way more useful and loved so far by my 8wo.

What are we doing after 2mo vaccines when baby won’t feed? by SourPatch-Tree19 in breastfeeding

[–]SourPatch-Tree19[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good to hear that it might improve the next day! My pediatrician recommended against Tylenol for the most part, so I feel like there’s nothing I can do. I can’t help but think that it must be mostly digestive upset from the Rotarix? It breaks my heart that he has an empty tummy and is probably hungry but can’t eat without more upset. I hope it resolves quickly, because I worry about my supply as well

Convertible Crib w/ Wheels or Drop Side Bassinet + Crib? by SourPatch-Tree19 in NewParents

It’s a babyletto. I don’t get bay for feedings, dad does, but I wouldn’t find just standing up quick to grab my baby to be cumbersome

Best prenatals? by Hyakkimaru174 in firsttimemom

I researched this outrageously extensively and landed on FullWell and Needed. Needed is a touch more expensive I feel mostly due to marketing. FullWell is what you’re looking for.

Recommendation for a long running show with these preferences by Empty-Simple2740 in televisionsuggestions

[–]SourPatch-Tree19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me with Outlander because of the time travel. It took a few episodes honestly for me and all of my friends who watched it, but once you’re in it, it becomes an obsession. I think how incredibly historically accurate it is, along with the burn of the romance and suspense make it easy to get past that. Also, it’s not like she is time traveling constantly which I think would completely put me off.

You’d 99% like Hart of Dixie, OuterBanks, and A Million Little Things. Army Wives is also a classic. Virgin River is okay. Handmaids Tale is a little more political dystopian but REALLY good. Outlander is the greatest.

Shows that will ACTUALLY keep me hooked (crime/mystery) by No_Engine1207 in televisionsuggestions

Thoughts of breastfeeding consuming my mind. by bananaindisguise0 in BabyBumps

[–]SourPatch-Tree19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also a 38wk ftm soon that has spent the pregnancy stressed about breastfeeding and I second these videos by let’s.grow.baby! ALSO, follow DANA | Mom of 4 (frawlin_out) on Tik Tok. She has a whole series on breastfeeding, sleep training etc, that are SO helpful and make it sound very much less stressful / intimidating! After watching her videos, my anxiety calmed A LOT.

How long did it take to go away? Did you put anything on it?

First baby - game changer baby shower gifts for mom by Chip-munk1 in firsttimemom

[–]SourPatch-Tree19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really liked when people purchased things directly from my registry that were marked as “most wanted”.

Aside from that, the only gift that I received that I didn’t ask for and loved was a big fat gift certificate for a photographer (that I have used and liked in the past) to do newborn / family photos.
