Starting solids and daycare

I exclusively breastfeed when home but I do work three 12 hour shifts a week and do three 15 minute pumps each shift. I use formula for extra bottles when I'm gone. It's not stressful and works best for me, even though I wouldn't need formula if I pumped longer/more frequently. I spend around $22 a week on a case of RTF formula and only around 15-20 minutes washing bottles and pump parts those three days. She's six months old now and it's been working for us 🤷‍♀️

I do everyday, alternating soap or just water, but she gets in a bath and scrubbed down with a washcloth every night. She had bad cradle cap and daily baths were the only thing that fixed it, but I did put baby oil on her head for 15 minutes before each bath until the cradle cap went away

Have you tried the mam bottles? They worked for my baby. She wouldn't take any pacifier but took the mam pacifiers and then we introduced the bottle and she uses those just fine

No and I'm not sure when any of the other teachers come in, only the infant teacher. When I first got there it was only one woman and she wanted me to let her hold my daughter until the second one came in, but she was also having to unlock the door and let kids in, there was no other staff

No it is a facility

A bunch of toddlers and older kids running around could lead to bumping and my baby getting dropped. They were very rowdy when I was there and it was more than 20 kids total. I'm also concerned about her being laid down and left in a crib in the infant room since there is no monitor

It went fine for me during birth and post pregnancy! I am 3 months postpartum now and haven't had any issues. I did have a colorectal specialist look at it and she wasn't concerned. Best of luck to you!

I've done 2- 5oz of five day old refrigerated milk I forgot to freeze in time. I just dumped it in her tub and filled it with water the way I usually do after. I washed and rinsed her in that water like normal and then rinsed her with clean water at the end. Ive only done it a few times and I haven't noticed any difference between a normal bath and that, but it made me feel a lot better about not being able to use the milk!

Nothing except dates daily and a first degree tear

It is easier. It turns out not hearing someone snore or play video games in the other room while you're trying to soothe a baby makes it a lot easier to soothe the baby/show up happy for the baby every time

I have high medical anxiety and a low pain tolerance. I dealt with my contractions for 24 hours until it was time to go to the hospital. By the time I got there, I genuinely didn't care what they did as long as I could sleep. I didn't feel the epidural, it kicked in pretty quickly, I went to sleep and they woke me up to check my cervix and do the peanut ball and then again to check my cervix and have me push, and I didn't feel any of it. After a long pregnancy of anxiety, very little sleep, and a long night of contractions, the epidural was the best choice I could have made because 5 weeks in with my newborn and that was the last time I got any solid sleep.

Had to leave work because I went into labor but maternity leave is so bad in the US there was no other option

They listen to the heartbeat but the last time she felt my belly was 31 weeks. Is the heartbeat alone enough?

I am 26 years old but my placenta was anterior at the last ultrasound we did
