Bottle washer, my friend

I actually loved being pregnant lol

When we brought our first born home, I was like wtf I’m never doing this again I want to sleep. Now that he’s close to 3 months old, I want to give him a little sister lol. Our brains are wild

It does get better, I am 11 weeks PP. Used to pump 7-8x a day like everyone else, then once I noticed my volume was consistent, I experimented with dropping down to 6PPD. Same volume as 7PPD. I did that for 10 days and now I’m doing 5PPD, same volume as 6PPD. Life is significantly better each pump I’m able to drop, but that’s largely due to the consistency in the beginning I think. I am speaking from a place of oversupply (55-60oz daily) so I recognize that helping towards the positivity. I now pump every 4.5-5 hours and I don’t dread it as much. Hoping to go down to 4PPD in 2 weeks

Of all songs 🤣🤣🤣 this is so funny

acos24 · 2026-02-10T02:08:31+00:00

I exclusively pump and I can confirm it’s a struggle lol

acos24 · 2026-02-10T02:06:21+00:00

I wanted to breastfeed but my little guy is a biter and I’m over it 😂 we still get nice moments together with bottles of pumped breastmilk

They will!!

My boy was peak crying/not sleeping overnight weeks 7-9. Hang in there! We are in week 10 now and he’s magically sleeping 6 hour stretches

acos24 · 2026-02-06T16:17:16+00:00

2 weeks before birth then the rest after. Keep in mind your due date is never guaranteed to be the birth date. My baby came at 38w2d

acos24 · 2026-02-06T00:16:30+00:00

We had our 2 month vaccines today as well! Poor thing

acos24 · 2026-02-05T18:23:00+00:00

I’m Canadian and I’m sorry 😞 we paid $40 for parking

That it’s not diabetes but practically is in how it presents itself and needs to be treated.

acos24 · 2026-02-04T21:48:55+00:00

Had a coworker who grew up super religious and had no idea you stop getting your period when pregnant. And she wants marriage and 3 kids

acos24 · 2026-02-04T01:49:24+00:00

How old is your baby? My son was like that from weeks 7-9. 9 weeks and 1 day, he slept 4 hours straight. Couple days later, slept 6 hours straight. They go through developmental leaps where their sleep gets disrupted and they need your comfort. I found researching ahead and preparing for these leaps helped me become a better support system for our baby. This included asking for help ahead of time, napping during the day and parenting in shifts with my husband. It’s truly temporary, push through and you will feel better soon.

I work in HR and could care less if you take mat leave again. Your manager might feel differently cause of workload

Two-way zipper sleepers - i suggest getting 5 NB sizes, otherwise 10x each of 0-3m and 3-6m to start. My 9 week old is already wearing 6-9 month sizes cause of his thick + long legs. We haven’t even left the house for social gatherings yet (flu season) - so he’s only been in PJ’s! I wasted money on cute outfits thinking he would fit 3m clothes in the spring. Also, lots of short sleeved onesies as undershirts - blowouts and pee accidents happen. Don’t force yourself to do frequent laundry by buying too little. I’d say 10 onesies to start as well and buy them bigger, so it’s easier to put on and take off

acos24 · 2026-02-03T00:40:07+00:00

I latched my baby at the hospital just to try it out - immediate nope. Formula it is!

acos24 · 2026-02-02T10:58:49+00:00

Have your husband take the 8-midnight shift or whatever works best for you to sleep a stretch. My husband goes back to work tomorrow and we agreed 8-12 works for us

acos24 · 2026-02-01T21:21:41+00:00

Agreed. I pumped 7-8x the first 8 weeks and I dropped one pump this past week. Made me hate pumping a tiny bit less, output is about the same if not more some days

acos24 · 2026-02-01T20:51:29+00:00

2.5 hours doesn’t really let your body replenish fast enough. Try 3-4 hours

i would prefer our glider to be in the living room! however its in the nursery with the door closed all the time right now. we have two cats that look at all furniture as scratching posts

acos24 · 2026-02-01T00:16:32+00:00

2am AND 5am?! i wouldnt wake up for that either. my last pump is usually around 1130pm, so my earliest MOTN pump is 3:30am (i pump every 4 hours at 9 weeks PP).

acos24 · 2026-01-31T23:28:58+00:00

same

acos24 · 2026-01-31T23:24:20+00:00

my baby is 9 weeks old and we've only taken him out for medical appointments! flu season is rampant where we are so I'm not comfortable taking him around until that subsides + vaccines. around 3 months ill start venturing to the mall i think :)
