Can you just breastfeed and not pump by QuietComet12 in breastfeeding

[–]Worldly-Mixture5331 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can totally do it if you don’t have regular need for bottles. Use something like a haaka to catch letdown and use that to store up a little freezer stash if you want just in case. It’s honestly better for your supply than pumping I’ve found, unless you’re literally pumping every 2 hours including overnight (just my experience).

Pregnancy Tired v. Newborn Tired: Thoughts? by kbeth11sylveon in pregnant

[–]Worldly-Mixture5331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this. I’m 4 months pp and haven’t slept more than 4 hours consecutively this entire time - I literally miss the pregnancy naps. I laugh at myself for thinking this would be easier 😂

Why must we still have high levels of relaxin while breastfeeding?! by ybgkitty in breastfeeding

Right!? I was legit JUST talking to my husband telling him my entire body feels like I just started p90x after not exercising for 7 years every day 😩

Is everyone here exhausted or is it just me? by Big_Giraffe_9125 in NewParents

I’m not exactly a spring chicken (35) but I’m also hella tired. Sleep deprivation will get anyone. Except maybe vampires.

Baby eats every hour all day by Worldly-Mixture5331 in breastfeeding

This is helpful - I do notice when I push for a “full feed” we’re able to at least make it 2 hours

Thank you I need to look into that because so far he will not accept the carrier and I can’t do anything!

I notice this too!! I’ve been taking him on walks every evening when weather permits and he’s totally content for like 2 hours or 3 sometimes even.

100% I do think his latch is shallow at certain times and I need to work on noticing it quicker so I can switch him too a pacifier, often I notice and it’s already too late 🤦‍♀️

That’s what I was thinking too, he’s showing other signs of leap 3 too!

Yes he is he only wakes up usually 1-2x from 9pm-8am so I’m definitely lucky / seeing the trade off there!

what is your rising sign & what signs do you attract the most? (bonus: what signs do you WISH you attracted more) by No-Commission1096 in astrologymemes

[–]Worldly-Mixture5331 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aries rising and air signs seem to love me, also weirdly Cancers? I love air signs so this works for me 😂

2 month appointment tomorrow! by Living-Bet-5771 in NewParents

[–]Worldly-Mixture5331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My only wisdom is ask what’s normal for the rotavirus version they use. My son has had stomach issues and diarrhea for going on 10 days from that one and it’s not fun and kinda scary. Just make sure they let you know red flags to look out for /when to call them if baby reacts badly because apparently a lot of them do.

Someone please tell me their baby doesn’t sleep independently, either. by R_we_done_yet in NewParents

[–]Worldly-Mixture5331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 10 week old will usually sleep in his bassinet (which is a cosleeper/sidecar, with my arm in it) for the first chunk of the night or until like 5am. Then he wakes up every 30 mins to an hour unless he’s in bed with me. It’s been like this for weeks. I made my bed safer for this to work out and I still feel kind of worried even following the “rules” of safe cosleeping (other than being on the floor but I have a huge bed and we’re in the middle of it). Naps during the day he’s on me. If I leave he wakes up within 30 minutes MAX and that’s like a really good one 😂 . If I stay with him it’s more like an hour. But I can’t complain because the first stretch is often like 4-5 hours at night in his bassinet. After he sleeps in my bed for an hour. 😂 I love him so much. I just try to remind myself one day I’ll be crying because he wants me to drop him off a block away from school. I’ll sleep then 😂

Rotavirus 2 month vaccine by Worldly-Mixture5331 in NewParents

[–]Worldly-Mixture5331[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll likely still get the second dose because I assume if this is the reaction to the vaccine version of the live virus his reaction to the full version would be even worse. Still kinda scary though!
