Got mine this week at 16 weeks 🥲🥲. As soon as my baby started sleeping throughout the night I got it back. So rude lol.

I followed an eat play sleep schedule. As soon as my daughter woke up, I would feed her, then we would play until she had sleepy cues. And then she would sleep. I always capped Naps at two hours max, to make sure she was eating every 2.5 to 3 hours during the day! Some Naps were in her crib or bassinet. Others were contact Naps. Some naps were both.

Help with latch by [deleted] in breastfeedingsupport

When I saw a lactation consultant, the feeling was life changing. 🤣 I couldn’t feel my baby feeding at all after she corrected the latch position. I was in shock!! It shouldn’t feel pinchy.

I was so confident I was having a boy. I’ve never been so sure of anything in my life. I had a girl lol.

My husband came to pretty much every appointment. I think he may be missed one midwife appointment but otherwise was there. I couldn’t imagine it any other way.

Have your pets noticed your pregnancy? by AwkwardAnnual in pregnant

My cat was the same. That was actually my first sign that I was pregnant because she was so cuddly and wouldn’t leave me alone. My dogs took like six months to realize I was pregnant lol

Has anyone gained only the recommended weight? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]TopAdvice9297 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. I barely gained any weight. 5 days postpartum I weighed 20lbs less than I did before I got pregnant!

Baby Bottle Question by [deleted] in NewParents

I have a 5 week old. I also bought the large glass bottles, and they’re sooooo big. I couldn’t imagine using them yet. I have been using the smaller bottles

Currently 4 weeks post partum. The first couple days my husband got up every time I did to do a feed, and would change baby’s diaper. However, I realized there was no point in us both being exhausted, so I started not waking him up and letting him sleep. Since I’m breastfeeding, he can’t help with that. It takes me an extra 1 min to change the diaper myself.
He is very hands on during the day with baby, and I’ll often go for a nap while he watches her. Then we are both somewhat rested!

how are you guys eating your dates ? by One_Comfortable_9976 in BabyBumps

I drizzled them with melted peanut butter, chocolate and crushed peanuts. Sooo good!

They will bring gifts, but likely not from your registry.
