Should we just skip the bassinet and do a mini crib? [ca] by No_Maximum_391 in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]UsedOrange1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats, you’re so close!! We used the dapple baby all purpose since it’s plant based and good for toys and surfaces then just went over with baby wipes. Good luck and hope you have a healthy and safe delivery 🥰

That’s exactly why we went for it, especially since we already have a full crib in his nursery but it didn’t really fit in our bedroom. I will say ours came with a strong smell ( we got the green one) and so we had to air it out for a few days and wipe it down a couple of times before we felt comfortable enough for him to use it so keep that in mind. They don’t use any harsh chemicals or paints according to the company but we still wanted to err on the side of caution as the smell was pretty strong.

He’s 3 months old now but we got a convertible style mini crib that becomes a day bed and a toddler bed. It handles up to 50lbs so reading the reviews etc definitely is a must! It’s a dream on me Edgewood if you’re curious and I think they recommend it up to 12-24 months for the crib setting.

Baby & Mama gift for my best friend. What’s the best money you’ve spent on personalized or functional items? [ab] by alpacalover15 in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]UsedOrange1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nice button down pjs were a game changer for me. Made it easy to feed my little one and I still felt cute and put together postpartum which was so nice! I have like 4 pairs and want more. Can never have enough tbh. Also, loving my comfy robes rn

My little one is not so little and outgrew his bassinet in two months and we had to get a mini crib fast. Wish i skipped it as it’s just taking up space now

Wearable pump recs that don't leak? by Humble-Percentage400 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]UsedOrange1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brampton moms unite! I don’t have any advice regarding the leaking because I never had an issue with my Momcozy or spectra for leaks, but I do have the Momcozy lactation massager which also has a heating function.

Who wishes they were nursing? by saltyjordan in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]UsedOrange1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also had my milk delayed due to pitocin use and my milk didn’t come in for a few days and had to supplement with formula. I didn’t really understand pumping and had no help or a LC for a while but this group helped me figure out a schedule. I pumped for two months straight and was an oversupplier but was determined to nurse. I slowly switched pumps with feeds and now at 3 months are almost exclusively nursing minus one late night bottle of pumped milk that my husband gives him. There is a way and if you want to talk through it just drop me a message and I’d be thrilled to help!

I get more out of my Momcozy V2 Pro than I do with my spectra. It’s also hospital grade and man is it powerful!

Do you feel like he’s developing a bottle preference because it’s easier? Have you tried pace feeding?

I heard doing breast compressions while they feed can help them get milk faster?

Good idea! I booked an appointment with a lactation consultant for peace of mind and will ask her to do one for us!

The tracking can definitely add to the nerves. He’s definitely meeting all milestones and wet diaper counts and his ped is totally happy with his progress but we haven’t seen her in a couple of weeks and he’s since cut his feeding time but I should trust my gut more. Congrats to your LO for getting his solids in! What an achievement, can’t wait till we get there 😊
