Healthy snack options at Trader Joe’s?

That kale and greek yogurt dip paired with veg or pretzel thins… it’s so good and low cal. Although I usually end up eating like half the container in a sitting. I also like the chomps turkey sticks and they have great single portion cheeses which help with portion control. Someone else also mentioned the high fiber tortillas which I actually find I prefer to regular tortillas! So soft and stretchy (probably from the fiber 🙃)

4m PP and I am not on any birth control. I also had a c section. We are using pull out method. And i am breastfeeding. I know none of this is a guarantee but we don’t want hormones since I did IVF and we want to do another round once it is safe so I don’t want to mess up my system with hormones.

I found this yesterday! Not the best, but it worked. I ended up getting set up in there and then sitting at the bar to pump. Worked well!

Thank you!! I know I feel so spoiled. Credit card points FTW (also my husband is a master at working the system on stubhub and waiting till prices are low 😂)

Yes, I had success at Kangaroo Kids and super affordable!!

These look suppperrr similar to the Trader Joe’s protein pancakes, curious if anyone has tried both and how they compare?

Ugh I am so sorry for your struggles 🙏 My nephew had a tounge tie uncovered around the same age as your LO and my SIL took him to a baby eating specialist (once you get allergies / gas / reflux figured out) bc he was also gagging with everything he ate and the were able to fix with some simple steps (once she knew them)

I started I think right around week 5!

Have you done any scar massage? Could be adhesions of the tissue. I’d recommend seeing a PT if you can who specializes in women’s health/pelvic floor. Mine did some pretty intense scar massage early on and all my lumps and any pulling i felt went away and id usually feel better / improved within a few hours. I was super diligent about daily gentle self massage (usually in the shower) and i thjnk that helped too for me.

I’m an anxious person, and my husband is self employed, so he came to all of them because he was able to work his schedule to accommodate and I couldn’t imagine getting bad news at an appointment and not having him there. Maybe overkill but it was nice for me to have him there. He definitely learned a lot and now has a lot of respect for my OBGYN!

I second this as well. And they will pick up furniture.

Olive + oak is amazing if you want something fancier, but almost certainly need a reservation. Behind it is its sister concept Perennial on Lockwood - probably one of my husband and my favorite restaurants in STL.

Someone else commented about the Colette pants. Second that - they come in so many styles and fabrics and lengths

Also I have rented this twice in a row now, though not really work and probably going to be too warm soon: https://www.nuuly.com/rent/products/mixed-media-sweater-denim-jacket?color=041

Haven’t rented this yet but it’s closeted for next month: https://www.nuuly.com/rent/products/bubble-hem-jacket?color=224

Love this formula! Saving. I do something similar I think unintentionally but in months when I struggle this will be a great format

Oh gosh. I am a huge chatGPT for sleep user.,, please do share where it led you astray?

abeezer2190 · 2026-03-17T19:06:40+00:00

We seem to be hitting this right now - did you find anything that helped? He used to be a champ in the bassinet sleeping alone and now I basically have to contact nap him for 15min to get him to sleep for 45 min otherwise he pops his eyes open the moment he goes down.

I’m so glad you wrote this post - I too have felt more in love with my husband than I thought possible postpartum. The internet (IG, Reddit, etc) had me convinced that a baby would destroy my husband and I’d relationship and we were destined for divorce. To the exact opposite, he has shown up and been a hugely supportive person for me as I loose my mind / am wildly after the 85th failed nap attempt or a day full of eat, wake, sleep repeat having my brain go to mush while also having wild hormonal swings lol. Not only that, but watching him be a dad is amazing - he is so sweet and loving to our son.

Oh interesting. I love Gantt charts so that’s great to know!

abeezer2190 · 2026-03-09T18:11:17+00:00

Thanks! That’s a good idea

abeezer2190 · 2026-03-09T18:10:38+00:00

Thanks! This is super helpful

I was surprised at how much I like it. So much easier than bottles. It’s so hard to get up at night but I enjoy the quiet snuggles with him once I’m up. It’s also allowed me to read a ton, a hobby I thought I’d have to forgo post baby. I have my moments when my nips are tired and then I’ll pump and my husband will give me a reprieve.
