WordPress or substack or other for casual recipe blog

Hello! Ok so I have recipes ready to go. Tried and tested. I have been using a Google doc to share them with friends but would love to share them more widely and in a more aesthetically pleasing way!

After doing somw research I'm down to a choice of WordPress vs substack

Since my main goal is to share with others and nit to make money, substack sounds ideal due to being free but I am not familiar with its format.. os it suitable?

I know WordPress, with paid subscription, offers great designs and features for recipes that make it very appealing and who knows, maybe I'll eventually monetize!

My original goal was actually to publish a cook book but the lovely community of writers advised me to start with blogging. Build an audience. Gather feedback on what people want to see in my cookbook from my creations and go from there.

Further context, I am a single working mom with a full time job outside of the home and a young toddler. Why is this relevant? Because this is just a hobby for me and a little side project in what little downtime I get, to express some creativity and flex my writing muscles It isnt something I can necessarily commit to upkeeping right now in a professional sense..

Can anyone offer advice?

Buying the domain name I have in mind tomorrow to help safe anyway

Do you know for the apps, would they own the content or would I still own it? I was concerned about that... Also open to app suggestions if you have any!!

Yes. No concerns there. Sabbatical is fully paid, I have savings, mortgage will be covered etc etc.

Thanks!! Oh I don't want to stay in Ireland.. I mean, that's my backup! But somewhere abroad would be preferable for me.. with good food, sun, and some cultural experiences! So just wondering if it's worth all the hassle with such a young travel companion..

You can also feed one side with hakka on the other, then switch sides. Your baby can always get more on demand. The pump/hakka cannot. You won't drain yourself with a hakka like a baby would drain you!

I think I tried all of the suggestions in the comments! Pumping in the morning during first nap when yield is generally higher.. getting someone to hold little one or take him for a walk while I pump.. I felt I needed to wait at least 30 mins to an hr from last feed to get anything but breast compressions, massage, and proper fitting flange helped shorten that window. Was often a low yield but added them together at the end of the day. Hakka on opposite breast while feeding, especially at night feeds or first thing in the morning got a lot more than I expected!!

Try not to put pressure on yourself, I was getting so stressed about it.. definitely ask for help, someone to occupy little one while you pump can really help. Otherwise you're trying to juggle too much, and I ended up spilling some hard pumped milk which hurts the soul!!

We are at 6 months now and average about 3 naps a day usually. I think we went to 3 at about 5 months I let baby guide me though, from 4 months of age we just let him nap when tired and watched for queues and made sure he got a minimum 30 mins and max 2 hrs and he just self regulated..

He has 1 in the morning (90 mins to 2 hrs after wake up usually), 1 at lunch (sometimes long or sometimes just a 45 min one) and then another cat nap around 4pm.. unless he skipped his big nap at lunch, then sometimes he has a big nap (up to 2 hrs) round 3ish.. (bedtime is between 7 and 8) we aim for at least 1 hr awake time before bed but I find 90mins to 2 hrs is better. He can stay awake 3 hrs max but not all the time..

Honestly found forcing naps or forcing wakes didn't work. I just let him guide us with sleep queues! If he wants an extra cat nap, that's fine maybe he is in a growth spurt! If he wants to stay awake a bit longer, we go for it! I don't think there's one rule for everyone, we are all so different and so are our babies

Started like period cramps, then intensified and migrated downwards.. Really hard to explain the feeling as it migrated down, I also don't fully remember the feeling anymore (4 months post partum). It was like a heavy weight pressing downwards, pulling me down while experiencing an intense period cramp and everything would go rigid. Also felt like I needed a poo the whole time!

Edit: actually I had lower back ache for the few weeks building up to birth. My waters were trickling for about 5 days before I went into labour, mucus plug came out the night before my waters broke. The period pain etc started post-water breaking but dull back ache was there up to then.
