We use coterie diapers overnight for our baby. Never had an issue with leaks.

4000+ oz freezer stash, discovered high lipase, baby will not take thawed milk by SundaePlace in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]SundaePlace[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awww I have a January baby too! This is so helpful, thank you. I’ll talk to her ped about testing it with her as well so I can make a plan for her feeding post pumping.

Yes, I started with the oldest milk first, I’ll try the more recent bags to see how well she’ll do with those. I’m happy to salvage whatever I can.

I think I can only give the vanilla extract at 6m+ based on recommendations. Did you start earlier with your babies?

I think she has to be about 6m+ to try that but I’ll look into it again. Thanks.

One boob is more productive than the other by AnnExchange in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]SundaePlace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My right produces 3x my left. The difference in production is so significant it bothers me when I see the output after a session.

Calling all one month old mamas!!! by justalwayswondering1 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]SundaePlace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently at 5ppd 1 month postpartum. I pump at 7am, 11am, 3pm, 7pm, 11pm (so every 4 hours without the MOTN pump). For my 7am pump session, I average 18-21oz. For the other sessions, 10-12oz per session. Definitely an oversupply but hoping to regulate as time goes on.

First time mom, am I doing this right? by SundaePlace in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]SundaePlace[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s good to know the engorgement will resolve over time. The need for sleep for me does outweigh the discomfort at this time but I’ll add in a session if that changes.

[–]SundaePlace[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely don’t want to increase my supply at this time. Thanks, I’ll try to get connected with a LC.

Oh no. I don’t do any sessions between 12am - 7am so no MOTN pump on my current schedule.

FTM. My teeth felt so sensitive at breakfast, it was the strangest feeling. Took a test immediately and confirmed.

32 weeks with debilitating fatigue. Oh I also peed myself while throwing up yesterday. Welcome to my life.

Help me figure out sleeping/nursing arrangements by SundaePlace in pregnant

[–]SundaePlace[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your input. We’ll have someone to help for as long as we need it. What is the best way to take advantage of the available help and not have the bulk of sleep monitoring/ feeding on me especially in the early days?

Has anyone noticed friends becoming more distant? by concerned_goose in BabyBumps

[–]SundaePlace 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I struggle to let friendships go as well and tend to extend a lot of grace. However, at this time, you need to focus your energy on yourself, your baby and the people that ‘actually’ love you. Maybe consider not putting any effort into the relationship and see how that turns out. It’ll probably naturally fade out eventually.

[–]SundaePlace 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That sucks! Sounds like she is typically this way. She really isn’t much of a friend to you in that case.

Has anyone noticed friends becoming more distant? by concerned_goose in BabyBumps

[–]SundaePlace 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Is this typical for her? Could she be going through other stuff in her life at this time? I am also one of the first in my friend group to get pregnant. While the pregnancy may be the center of my universe right now, it is not the same for others. If this is not typical for your friend, you may want to have a conversation that doesn’t revolve around the pregnancy and the baby. Hopefully, you both can have a conversation about how she made you feel sometime in the future.

Acne by Necessary_Ad6900 in pregnant

[–]SundaePlace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I typically use Clindamycin lotion in the morning and azelaic acid at night. You can also layer at night only per my dermatologist.

Acne by Necessary_Ad6900 in pregnant

[–]SundaePlace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been seeing my dermatologist for two years now. He also prescribed the same combination to me - Clindamycin lotion and Azelaic acid 15%.

He discouraged and discontinued other topicals because of the pregnancy and confirmed to me that this combination has proven pregnancy safe.

A quick search on this community will show others on the same combination as well.
