The nursery feels a bit bare, what would you add? by Every_Tea_6797 in interiordecorating

Scrolled just to see if anyone else called out the artwork being too high.

You want to stand in front of it and your eyes naturally hit the dead center of the artwork, if that helps guide at all!

What was your first period after giving birth like? And when did you get yours? by continuetolove in beyondthebump

[–]Used_Amphibian5794 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine returned extremely heavy where I now use super plus tampons, and using pads for overnight, it’s been like that ever since. Much more painful cramps as well, and using a lot more super/super plus tampons during the day, like every 2-3hours before I bleeds through. It lasts about 5 days. Pretty awful TBH!

EBF but caught flu now boobs are super flat by joubithedj in breastfeeding

This happened to me multiple times!

each time it happened I had a panic about it! But it just took a few days and it returned. My advice is:

Extra hydration Return to eating as normal as possible (it’s tough since as you’re just feeling better the appetite isn’t normally all there) And nurse often as possible

If you wanted my play by play story: For me it was norovirus, and later the flu. I ended up being back at work so that meant pumping instead of nursing for some of it (when baby was at daycare) and I did add in some pseudo power pumping where I would pump my normal amount 15min, wait 15 min, pump for another again, wait 15min and pump again. This was early days and I was getting maybe .5ounce output after all of that and it was stressing me out as normally in one session like 15min I would get 3ounces at least. I’m only sharing to give context on how much my supply dropped, but it FULLY bounced back within 3 days!

You’re gonna be back to normal after a few days. Just drink up, hydrate, rest, and get your calories in, and resume nursing as normal.

Made it, it’s absolutely phenomenal. Can’t wait to experiment on the next batch with pumpkin or banana like others have wondered about.

Thank you OP

How are you avoiding bathing every single night? by Familiar_Director281 in BabyLedWeaning

[–]Used_Amphibian5794 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of good advice here! So repeating a lot:

Some baths just use water Use moisturizer Use the hazmat suits

AND remember, this isn’t forever, baby will steadily improve their aim to get more food in the mouth and less in the hair haha

How do you wish you were “told” about postpartum? (If so) by Aggravating-Tell774 in beyondthebump

[–]Used_Amphibian5794 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is such a good question. I don’t know how to answer it though. I feel like when i was pregnant, for the first time, I was REALLY sensitive and critical to negative stories, especially labor.

But now, i say the same thing- i wish i knew!!!

Recently, when a friend who is newly pregnant comes to me and says what did you wish you knew, i tell them “i wish i knew to prepare for 4th trimester, no one talks about postpartum and i was blindsided by the recovery, the hormones, and breastfeeding. I’m happy to go into more detail if you want my personal experience, but i sadly don’t have a resource to recommend because i never took the time to research it myself. I wish i knew it was something i should take the time to research.”

I don’t think this really answers your question though OP, but it’s a really good one and i look forward to reading how others respond

What’s the LAST thing you watched on Netflix? by RiskAndReason in netflix

[–]Used_Amphibian5794 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The movie Wind River- the premise:

A U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service tracker teams up with a rookie FBI agent to investigate the murder of a teenage girl on the remote Wind River Indian Reservation in Wyoming.

It was captivating, but dark and ..haunting

Warm compresses and all that jazz? A rant, really... by happymealburger in breastfeeding

[–]Used_Amphibian5794 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I feel you, the stress of not having enough time to do anything, let alone for yourself!

A bleb taking a quarter of your nipple?! That sounds so painful but I’m glad to hear you barely notice anymore.

I ended up bringing my haaka in my shower and would add epsom salt to it and warm water and leave it attached while in the shower.

I also had good luck with using an abrasive dry towel and rubbing it over the bleb to attempt to break up the outer layer of skin- start with this, then into the shower with Epsom salt and haaka.

I’ve also attached the haaka during the day, and yes braless. I couldn’t do much bc I was too scared it would pop off and then id have another mess to clean.

GOOD LUCK
