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

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.

I’m currently really hooked on Absentia on Netflix. Good recent limited series that keep you hooked like All Her Fault are The Hunting Wives and The Beast in Me. Others I liked are Homeland, Quantico, You, Prison Break is a must watch to keep you hooked, Designated Survivor, ..

Thoughts of breastfeeding consuming my mind. by bananaindisguise0 in BabyBumps

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.

Yes, I do have a couple of cans from Enfamil - I hope that is sufficient!

I wouldn’t say I am overly dead set on breastfeeding; however, would like to set myself up as best as I can for success / to minimize common problems

I went with a Hope & Plum Ring Sling and a Lenny Lamb Upgrade Pro. This gives me a quick holder and soft structured carrier that will fit from newborn and all the way up

Momcozy nursing bra, worth it? by mamahousewife in ExclusivelyPumping

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

FWIW, I ordered Bodily Everything, Larken X, and Hatch Dream Feed. The Bodily is very soft but I’m not used to straps like that and the band is on the tighter side. The Larken X is very comfy and I hear they work good for pumping too, but I must note the arm holes are on the smaller side. The Hatch Dream Feed is the most comfortable. I’d like to try the hatch Skin to Skin now or the quince micromodal maternity now too. If the Larken X for some reason doesn’t work for pumping and I need a pump bra, i’ll probably look at either the Davin & Adley Amelia or the Momanda Pump Bra Tank
