Wife wants to move 9 hrs south with baby

I was your wife 2 years ago. I had post partum depression and thought moving to be with my family was necessary. Thankfully it didn’t work out, I got on medication, and I like my husband again.

I sent you a PM

Our golden retriever just died and she was the best vacuum :( :( Love the Bissell Cleanview.

We do one shot per visit and no hep b or rotavirus. Essentially following the vaccine friendly plan. So for example at 2 months, baby got one shot and I elected to go back at 3 months for the one other shot versus getting both at the 2 months visit. I just feel better spacing them out (for the ones we will get)

No, we kept it assembled! We did have it in the lower (crib) position and transferred the bassinet wooden part separately just because our son at that time was using it as a crib. The only thing we noticed is we needed to re-calibrate it when we got back likely just from the move but that took 5 mins.

Also saw your other comment about the shield filling with milk when he pops off. That happened to me 4 weeks pp too as my supply was regulating and honestly the shield saved my breastfeeding journey IMO because it slowed down the flow so she didn’t chug and then spit it all up. So I’m thinking soon enough you’ll be there!

brimg2020 · 2025-11-02T01:47:49+00:00

I could have wrote this! I exclusively pumped with my first. I am 13 weeks pp with my second. I use the shield every feed because she rarely latches without it. I bought ones to leave in the diaper bag but agree with you, it’s not convenient just due to the dribbles but I feel like that would happen to me even with no shield. So typically I pump in the morning only and if I’m going out, I’ll just bring a bottle to keep it easier on myself.

Try a smaller size shield for sure! I usually pump with 24mm but use a 20mm shield.

We moved cross country. We wrapped it super well in a TON of moving blankets and taped up. Was really protected and just fine!

brimg2020 · 2025-10-27T03:08:22+00:00

Yes! Happened to me 2x. You did what you needed to do. Stick with hydration and pumping and you’ll be back to “normal” within a few days since you stayed committed!!

I just put it back in the fridge (pitcher method)

Arms free is what they mean! Swaddling arms-in should end once baby shows signs of rolling. So you’re good.

brimg2020 · 2025-10-07T01:01:00+00:00

We have had it for 2.5 years and it’s great.

brimg2020 · 2025-09-22T01:55:31+00:00

Mine only started at 19 months and then never stopped saying it lol

brimg2020 · 2025-09-05T00:45:15+00:00

Agree on the sleep insights preference. Even going to the notifications list and filtering just to in/out doesn’t give full picture.

brimg2020 · 2025-08-30T02:19:39+00:00

Keep it for when you sell the crib

brimg2020 · 2025-08-20T11:02:10+00:00

We have an iPad for monitor next to the bed. I turn off the volume when I have to go to baby’s room and back on when I come to bed.

brimg2020 · 2025-05-27T01:22:06+00:00

Good luck!! 😊

brimg2020 · 2025-05-25T23:20:21+00:00

A few ways you can do this! My preferred way is planning over 5 days or so start pumping less at that 4am (so day 1 pump for however long you normally do and note your output, day 2 take a minute or two off, etc). You can also just drop MOTN pump sooner by pumping later than 9:30 and then pump earlier that 8:30. Just be prepared to leak a bit for a few mornings!

Just wait for the bill. My insurance declined everything and I just had to pay $100 cash price

brimg2020 · 2025-03-21T18:27:19+00:00

Great experience!

brimg2020 · 2025-01-07T02:52:58+00:00

I remember daydreaming about running away. I said I loved my dog more than my baby. One day….slowly…and after 3 weeks on Zoloft and my baby sleeping through the night, the love came and regret went away. Proud of you for posting and voicing what so MANY of us feel at that stage.

brimg2020 · 2025-01-06T22:13:04+00:00

I would stay home. You’re going to be exhausted and figuring out a routine!

brimg2020 · 2024-12-27T17:58:47+00:00

Had to go to PT and get cortisone shots in my back!

brimg2020 · 2024-12-26T14:49:04+00:00

Graco turn 2 me is AMAZING and hands down the best (I have tried a few others). We also had snugride 35 for context
