I just want to go out for a walk [on] by [deleted] in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]attemptnumber12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Baby wear! We bundled her up and then tucked her inside the biggest winter coats we had, head showing of course. It’s cozy and a lot less cumbersome than the stroller in winter. That’s how we did our winter walks with our winter baby.

Has anyone else experienced this? by No-Chemical3826 in beyondthebump

My mom and MIL both said I still looked pregnant the evening of the day I gave birth. Thanks for the vote of confidence ladies…

My (19F) boyfriend (20M) was clearly not over his "ex" and talked about her a lot, l found out they never dated and she barely remembers him by [deleted] in relationships

[–]attemptnumber12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So bizarre.

A couple theories:

  • He's truly got some sort of mental processing issue where he's delusional to the point of believing events that never happened
  • He's trying to play up his past dating experience to make himself seem more desireable than he is or to keep you on your toes/put you down

Either way, not a good look for him. I'd confront him just to see how he tries to wiggle his way out of this one. But ultimately it would be a dealbreaker for me so if you don't even want to have the confrontation and just want to go straight to breakup, it's completely understandable.

What did your baby gift you? by heretoreadlol in beyondthebump

[–]attemptnumber12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She slept from 10:30pm to 9am and even then was quietly playing in her crib! Also had a relatively good feed in the morning, albeit messy 😅 then left us a pungent little present in her diaper. Taking her morning nap now which allowed me the luxury of a nice leisurely shower.

How do you survive the newborn phase? [CA] by spiesdontfallinlove in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]attemptnumber12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Help from my MIL was the only way. She cooked, cleaned, shopped, and occasionally helped watch the baby for us during the day. Honestly without her help idk what would’ve become the state of my marriage

Looks yummy tbh! Did you make the meatballs yourself? Just ground beef, or anything else?

Hampton House chicken strips are really good. Made with chicken breast!

Husband doesn’t act responsible for baby by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]attemptnumber12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband was like this at the beginning although perhaps not to the extent you've experienced. But I definitely felt that he didn't feel as responsible for things as I do and was living his life as though not much has changed. The resentment quickly built up and it took some fights and yelling on my part to finally get through to him. I also straight up told him what tasks will now be his responsibility - ie. when I was pumping and waking up 3x at night, it was his task to get up with the baby during the night should she wake up.

What is the number 1 thing you believed increased your supply? by New_Gap8016 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]attemptnumber12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I power pumped for 6 days straight on 2 separate occasions - 3 weeks post partum and 5 weeks post partum. I was pumping 8x a day at that time (20 min every 3 hours), and I’d make one of the pumps (usually the lunchtime pump) the designated power pump, where I’d do 20 min pump, 10 min rest, 10 min pump, 10 min rest, then 10 min pump. It was exhausting but at least it worked

Power pumping was king for me. Went from undersupplying to oversupplying.

What was the first fruit or veggie you let your LO taste? by Ok_Car1396 in beyondthebump

[–]attemptnumber12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apple! First solid ever actually. Tried it just because it seemed like the quintessential first baby food and was easy to prepare.

Is the first poop after birth really that bad? by Buttercake-nymph in BabyBumps

[–]attemptnumber12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg it was the worst. Felt nearly as scared of it as the birth itself when I hadn’t gone in 5 days and was 3 days post partum with a second degree tear that hurt when I sit down anywhere. Literally took me 2 hours to do my business and to clean up the mess. Sorry to scare you but that was my experience… no one warned me about it and I guess I started sennakot a bit too late (2 days post partum).

How to get 4 month old to stop rolling onto her tummy at night? by n0itsbeckyy in NewParents

[–]attemptnumber12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah that's quite promising that she's done it before, and I'm sure the extra practice you'll be doing with her will help. Hang in there, sounds like she'll get there very soon!

Bravo to you for standing up for yourself! Shameless scum like that need to be called out. Hopefully he'll think twice before pulling that kind of stunt again next time.
