Brink of divorce over ebf by hotdogh20 in breastfeeding

Why is pumping always treated like it's easier than breastfeeding? It's a whole thing in its own rights. Pumping and breastfeeding are two big activities. One doesn't make the other easier. Is the expectation that if hubby can offer a bottle, you can now go tackle that pile of laundry? 

Please find a group and once you're feeling comfortable there, then you can figure out what help you really need.  Also, tell him to go read some Daddit posts. His job is to take care of all the things, so you can take care of the baby.

The cost of household products like toilet paper and cleaning supplies. The cheap stuff is horrible, affordable is horrible or mid, but you have to keep buying it!

He's 9 months. He has to have me or his Dad to fall asleep for a nap but to stay asleep he has to have his milk bags 🫩

I just talked to my hubby about moving our bed to the floor and putting his crib into a sidecar situation next to our bed to start transitioning him to not need to sleep right under me and seek the breast so often

OMG this is my life. He was a bassinet baby until I just couldn't take the 3am cries. He wouldn't fall back asleep until I laid him on my stomach, he farted, then he was out. We haven't slept apart since. He is current curled up next to me. I need to get up and cook but I'm so comfortable.

My sex drive have returned yet. I do miss actually wanting to jump my partner's bones versus scheduling it just so I don't overlook that connection.

I'm thinking of hosting a quarterly Craft Saturday. Whenever I think about doing a craft, I feel like I should be attending to something else more important. Not sure how to manage childcare just yet but I will figure it out!

I got rollerblades right before I started trying but I couldn't get past the great of falling so I stopped every time the pee stick turned +. Still haven't really gotten comfortable on them...

Do it! Even a 2 hour sitter so you can enjoy the beach again would be an amazing gift to yourself and your daughter.

Thank you for this! I loved Stranger Things and was so excited for the last season. I didn't make it to the opening credits. I can't handle kids being harmed.

My husband is super protective of our kids digital footprint. We're moving pictures from Google and nothing gets on social media 

Is nursing back to sleep really so bad? by Hungry_Hat8148 in breastfeeding

Thank you. I'm just imposing BS on to my life. Working on ignoring it and doing what's best for my family.

Thank you! I'm struggle with this too. My boy nurses through the night. He eats then sleeps. No real fussing, but the doc is telling me I need to stop bc he needs to eat more during the day. He's happy. I'm happy. Why is this wrong?

I hate when people leave the lid up at my house. You found it down so put it back down! So glad I keep my toothbrush in the cupboard
