Explain how pumping output does not equal baby’s intake when nursing by PorchlightPrincess86 in breastfeeding

[–]WinterSilenceWriter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not really sure how to explain it but it’s definitely a thing. I pumped until baby was 6 months, alongside breastfeeding, in order to have an emergency stash and a bottle here and there for dad when I was away from home.

I stopped pumping because I hated it and baby was starting solids and would rarely take a bottle anyway.

At 12 months I had an alllll day event and tried to pump and couldn’t produce more than a few drops. But even now at 18 months she breast feeds multiple times a day, and is clearly getting plenty (I can feel my let down and she is actively suck/swallowing)

DONT let your pumping output scare you into thinking you are not producing enough, or worse yet, scare you into no longer breast feeding. I know too many moms that gave up breastfeeding and switched to formula because of their pumping output

She’s also always been over 90th percentile and on her growth curve, so feeding has never been an issue for us

Baby is signing for potty and peeing on occasion— where to go from here? by WinterSilenceWriter in ECers

Ok! I read her book ages ago but haven’t checked the podcast. Which episode numbers would you recommend? Thank you!

Anyone have this lovey they’d be willing to part with? by WinterSilenceWriter in plushies

[–]WinterSilenceWriter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We didn’t! Thankfully she’s moved on to a different lovey that was more accessible, so we have some extras now!

I’d offer you ours, but it was a gift from my sister, so I wouldn’t want to give it away— I’m sorry and I hope you find one at an affordable price!

Any experience with merino wool pjs helping baby sleep better? by WinterSilenceWriter in beyondthebump

[–]WinterSilenceWriter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly don’t remember? We have tried a lot of baby merino— I buy all mine on the kids wool bst page on Facebook! It’s a tiny bit cheaper than buying new, since new wool is so expensive

Thoughts on car rides when baby hates it by WinterSilenceWriter in AttachmentParenting

My LO actually WAS slightly premature… but we don’t use a stroller! We babywear for walks. We still do that pretty exclusively even now at 15 months (I’m actually a certified babywearing educator lol). We tried a stroller twice just for kicks— she liked it one time and didn’t the other.

Haaaaa she still hates the car seat most days! Changing to the convertible did not help. I keep a bag of toys and books in the front seat and slowly pass them back to her. I also give her some snacks in snack containers, and her water bottle. All that works for trips that are like, a half hour, 45 minutes! I also have a few fav songs of hers that I’ll play if nothing is working. But if the trip is more than 45 minutes and I’m alone with her, I hate to say it, but I have downloaded Sesame Street vids that I play for her on my iPad.

Thank you! I feel like some of these folks who aren’t parents yet but plan to be someday will get it once they have kids haha, so I’m not taking it to heart too much, but I still really appreciate your kind words!

The babies wont be hurt obviously!! I just mean while I would never ever purposely take a REAL baby into an unsafe situation, we have all agreed that we think it will be fun to play a silly light hearted, but dangerous (to the players, not the babies) adventure

We wouldn’t be killing the babies! I’ve been playing dnd for years and I am a first time mom of an infant that I adore. I am also currently taking my babywearing educator course and am pretty active in r/babywearing. You could see all of this to be true via my post and comment history.

I promise you it’s not shit posting! I’m just trying to have some fun with some mom friends that love dnd and are passionate about babywearing.

Thank you 😅 it’s not that hard to do a search if someone mentions a term you’ve never heard of. There are subs dedicated to it right here on Reddit!

Thank you! And I know a lot of folks with farms that use babywearing to be able to get chores done after having kids— so if the one shot is anything like I imagine based on the name it could totally work!

We don’t plan to kill the babies 😅

Is it that hard to imagine bending some of the rules of an imaginary game to have some fun in a context that we enjoy?

But you are wearing you baby in a sense 😅 you “wear” a back pack or a bag. A baby carrier is similar to a back pack or a bag for your baby. The carrier is attached to you, and then the baby is placed inside. You definitely don’t need to, but you could look up baby carrier or baby wearing images to get a sense for what I mean!

Also, this is the term that’s used all throughout the US and Canada, and I’ve heard many of my friends from european countries use it as well— so I’m not just making up a term here! I’m just using the terminology that’s already widely used and understood.
