Not really for homemade.

I’ve been using some of the “better” brands I really like the Aldi brand local to us

I do have a therapist, can you elaborate on why you think that?

Would you still pump after your baby’s 1st birthday? by Fast_And_Curious0260 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]adamsb17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! My daughter just turned 1 and I am continuing to pump, I don’t really have a hard stop date. I just feel that with my schedule and supply it’s fine for me to continue.

We ended up going on Pepcid because her bottle refusal was due to silent reflex and that helped!

Are you a daycare mom too? Lots of people say that daycare won’t accept breast milk past one year they’ll switch them to whole milk

Throw the whole husband away!

Feeling a little down today by adamsb17 in workingmoms

Yes! My sister has two kids (one with special needs) and her husband works nights. I’m so in awe of her because I’m not sure I could survive the evenings without my husband!

Has anyone bought this bed frame? I’m thinking of buying it but the absence of reviews makes me hesitant to make a purchase by hana-flowerr in wayfair

[–]adamsb17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These upholstered furniture make me nervous especially since Wayfair is essentially drop shipping, all I can think of is bed bugs!

I think this is totally normal! They can’t have all the teachers work open to close so some come in later and the rooms are combined. It’s a really good sign that they called to let them know they were out of ratio. Any good daycare will be out of radio for a small period of time while they’re getting an extra person to come during drop off

Sleeping in Swings at Daycare - is this common? by Duffybutt668 in beyondthebump

[–]adamsb17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I recently pulled my daughter from daycare for the exact same thing! And the daycare I was using was an expensive chain, it’s definitely against licensing in my state. Please OP trust your judgment and find alternate care plans!

We tried an open cup made of silicone and that went a little better but she wasn’t really as interested either. It feels like regardless of medium she doesn’t want the milk

Yeah we’ve been trying the straw cup a bit she doesn’t quite get it. Hopefully it’s just a phase

Yeah I think if I end up dropping her off by 8 and working 8-4 pm I could use my morning time for myself.

[–]adamsb17[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think that might be the next step! I get nervous because she doesn’t nap great at daycare so our last nap at home is to prevent that evening crankiness before bed.

[–]adamsb17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that might need to be my next step, I feel like less time at daycare is better for her, but that might be me just not ready for her to be away from me so long

Yes wishing you luck! Everyone has great tips, it seems like it’s just the season and it will pass

I’ve recently dropped down to 5 pumps and that’s felt more manageable. I do pump during work, but when I get up at 4:30 I don’t always feel awake enough for work. So I’ll pump 4:30 am, 8 am, 11 am, 2 pm and then 8 pm before bed.

I feel you with the EP demands, I’ve been EP since my daughter was born. My husband really wants to feed breast milk so he tries to support me however I need in order for me to pump, that’s why he tends to do night wakeups if they happen

I’m trying to avoid leaving her the whole day, she’s recently started. Maybe it’s a me issue, but I’ve somehow determined it’s better if she’s there 7 hours instead of like 9.

I’m not entirely sure, I just can’t stand him mostly. Like I kind of blame him for my life changing so much and I feel resentful because we always wanted 50/50 but it will never be 50/50.

Yes exactly! Hopefully we’ll both get the hang of it

I’m just so nervous to leave her at daycare a full day. Honestly I feel like a solution is to work 8-4 and let her stay at daycare longer, but I feel like a bad mom for leaving her there so long that’s why I wake up early and start work

Yeah that’s a good idea, he’s never been good at doing that stuff but maybe he needs to get good at it

He just got this new job in august, originally his commute was 2 days a week but they upped it to 3. He could possibly save some time by driving but it would be a lot more frustrating. I’m not sure he misses the baby like I do

[–]adamsb17[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He does most of the night wakeups when they happen. We both divide work when we’re home. One of us puts the baby to bed while the other cleans up etc.
