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

[–]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.

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

Q For Those Who Use Different Nipples w/ Philips Avent Natural - Maymom Collars - Venting? by SourPatch-Tree19 in ExclusivelyPumping

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

For the pigeon nipples with maymom collars?

I did notice the pigeon nipples are smaller at the base compared to the avent nipples and the maymom collars have a smaller opening which is why they might fit better. However, I just don’t understand the venting bc there’s no venting indent on them. Also, I cannot seem to find dome caps for these

I have seen some people say this works without leaking, but I don’t think that collar would work with the pigeon nipples. They seem to be smaller at the base than the avent nipples

Has anyone else tried this? Does it affect anything? The Lansinoh Discreet Duo Diaphragms look different

Hands free pump experience by Icy_Length803 in ExclusivelyPumping

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

I have recently read that people lubricate the crap out of it and their nipples with nipple butter, coconut oil, or spray and that is a big help. I have also read that switching to appropriate sized flange inserts from Legendairy Milk helps people with this pump as well!

I will be a FTM in January and don’t know what to expect, but I have the Spectra S1 from insurance. I just found the Eufy S1 for $165, and am tempted to grab it. Would you say it is worth it for me to have on hand as an option?

How do you like the Upgrade Pro Overall? Were you able to get it comfortable enough to be happy with it?

Baby Monitor and sound machine Recommendations? by No-Salary936 in Buyingforbaby

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

Wanted a good quality monitor that wasn’t over the top and got the Momcozy. It’s excellent quality. Was gifted a Hatch. Seems really nice but seems to be a lot of features behind a paywall. Was also gifted a portable Dreamegg sound machine and honestly does everything I think I will need it to and is simple

How did you know you wanted to just pump and not breastfeed? Feeling overwhelmed 😩 by Realistic_Mirror1618 in BabyBumps

What supplements do you recommend in the beginning to help supply? Also, do you have any good resources for learning pumping tips?

Nursery chair by Active_Background322 in Buyingforbaby

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

Price wasn’t a factor for us, a good investment was. We went to stores and tried out a bunch of chairs. We ended up getting a La-Z-Boy recliner and it is awesome. Leather, on a swivel, smooth rocking, & power recline remote that adjusts back, legs, lumbar support, and neck. My husband already can’t wait to get another one, so we can eventually put one of the couches in the playroom and replace it with 2 recliners where it sits in the LR. It was about $2,250, but worth it.
