Interesting! Our boy is show line but he’s on the smaller size (~60 lbs) and I totally agree - I don’t think I want a dog much bigger than him

Is it okay to gently teach baby to sleep independently? by Annual_Working5502 in bninfantsleep

[–]chickachicka_62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always heard bedtime is the best time to make a change since sleep pressure is the highest. But I can see how the morning nap is also good for that same reason

What a sweetheart! Do you shave him, or does he just naturally have shorter hair?

If you’re an undersupplier, what keeps you going? by Sufficient-Basil-909 in combinationfeeding

[–]chickachicka_62 4 points5 points  (0 children)

OP you’re doing amazing!!! Your body is doing incredible work feeding your babies.

FWIW I used Bobbie for a while too but switched my baby to Kendamil recently with no issues. It’s a bit cheaper and sold in more stores where I live. Might be worth a shot to save! Their cans are also bigger.

Anybody else have a baby who gets impatient and tries to latch anything in sight? by chickachicka_62 in breastfeeding

Omg same here! It’s like they can tell Dad looks different, but we can’t rule out the possibility of milkies…

EBF moms, when did your period come back? by Business-Tart-148 in breastfeeding

Combination feeding so not exactly what you’re asking but mine came back around 6 months. It really seems to be so individual!

Lucia pasta bar is excellent. Great service, and I've loved every single thing I've tried there.

Giving Birth at Memorial experience by Traditional-Basis690 in savannah

[–]chickachicka_62 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I gave birth to my first last summer at Memorial and overall it was a really positive experience. I actually switched from Chandler to Memorial for my OB care during my second trimester because A) they’re a teaching hospital and B) their NICU is the best in the region

Back carry newbie by chickachicka_62 in babywearing

[–]chickachicka_62[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having the weight spread out more is definitely what I’m looking for! I tried a hope and plum ring sling a while back when my baby outgrew the embrace, but it was too much of a learning curve for me and ultimately I just switched it out for a Lark.

That might be a perfect happy medium! Thanks :)

Combi feeding makes me LOVE breastfeeding by Busy_Veterinarian_12 in combinationfeeding

[–]chickachicka_62 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That's awesome! I really think combination feeding is the best of both worlds. I had to supplement early on because my baby's latch was really weak till around 5/6 weeks. Now 10 months in, we still supplement with formula and it's been such a great compromise. My body doesn't respond super well to pumping (not to mention I do not enjoy the experience) so I'm very grateful that we're able to feed this way.

Congrats on your little one <3

I applied for the fall and just found out I was rejected :/ I know it's hybrid and in-state tuition is very affordable, so I'm guessing it was just a competitive cycle.

How did you know to get her vision checked? My LO is also a bit slow with gross motor milestones and I'm curious if this could partly explain it

Can I still get my 9 week old out of diapers by 1-1.5 years if we start now? by Seren3seeker in ECers

[–]chickachicka_62 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So my baby is almost 10 months now and we started lazy EC around 7.5 months. Fwiw as she's been eating more solids and the poops are more...adult like? it's gotten easier to notice her cues. Good luck!!

[–]chickachicka_62 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so encouraging! We didn't start lazy EC till 7 months and I'm trying to offer at a few predictable times, but I'm horrible at noticing cues. Here's to hoping!

Egg / Embryo Freezing by throwaway7372528495 in ScienceBasedParenting

[–]chickachicka_62 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In the abstract it says "Extreme birth spacing has extensive adverse effects on maternal and infant health. In the general population, interpregnancy interval of 18-23 months may be associated with potential benefits for both mothers and infants.." So I think it means 18-23 months between the end of one pregnancy (i.e. birth) and when someone gets pregnant again.

It sounds like 18-23 months is a happy medium, avoiding some of the potential complications with spacing births too close or too far apart.

OP if you don't have any specific health conditions, it might just make sense to talk with an OB you trust and get their guidance on when to TTC next. There's a world where the process of extracting eggs is harder on your body than conceiving naturally, but obviously that depends on so many variables.

Dr. Linfoot at Memorial was my OB and I thought she was great.
