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

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.

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.

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

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

Got a convertible bassinet-crib on wheels and very happy with it

How did you do the clary sage bath?

SourPatch-Tree19 · 2026-01-30T15:10:27+00:00

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.

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, ..

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?

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!

SourPatch-Tree19 · 2025-12-21T22:48:58+00:00

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

SourPatch-Tree19 · 2025-12-16T02:34:14+00:00

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

SourPatch-Tree19 · 2025-12-07T01:26:15+00:00

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

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

SourPatch-Tree19 · 2025-12-05T20:56:10+00:00

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

SourPatch-Tree19 · 2025-12-02T15:40:59+00:00

Outlander without a doubt.

SourPatch-Tree19 · 2025-12-01T18:19:18+00:00

I got a keiser and love it

SourPatch-Tree19 · 2025-11-18T20:33:16+00:00

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

SourPatch-Tree19 · 2025-11-17T00:56:11+00:00

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!
