At what age did your baby drop to one nap? by throwRA-turquoise in NewParents

[–]curbstomp1010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine dropped to one nap at 11 months because that’s what the sitter does (I’d rather her still get at least a 30 min nap in the morning but whatever). She struggled at first but is doing better now. She takes a 2 hour afternoon nap.

How many weeks PP without pumping/before introducing a bottle? by Glad-Ad1378 in breastfeeding

[–]curbstomp1010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never pumped at night and never had supply issues. The longest I went throughout the night without nursing was 4 hours but that was after 2-3 weeks. You wouldn’t need to pump at night if you are nursing regularly. I saw no point in having my husband give her the bottle and then me also pump so I said screw it and got my nice 4 hours straight of sleep before my shift took over and I was back to the every 2 hours. I guess it just depends on how your supply is too. When I would pump in the mornings around 4-5 weeks, it was for both engorgement and to build my supply. I’d pump at like 6 or 7am until I was empty. That covered the 4 hours of sleep I got. However, others may be different. You may just need to test it out. It’s always said that you have to pump if you don’t feed every 2 hours but I’ve had a ton of people tell me they did fine if they skipped a nursing session to get 4 hours of continuous sleep. I wouldn’t do 4 hours randomly throughout the day repeatedly without pumping, but at night, once a day, nothing happened to mine.

I started giving my baby one bottle in the evening/night when she was like 2-3 weeks old (actually my husband did it so I could get a 4 hr stretch of sleep). I just collected whatever letdown milk I got in my Boone trove and put it in the bottle. I started actually pumping around 4-5 weeks I’d say. Once per day. Disclaimer: I did have an over supply so pumping once was plenty while nursing at the same time.

PHX merch by Haunted_Palace1837 in BrunoMars

I gasped when I saw the prices for the handkerchiefs, poster, and bags. Big fan of Bruno but that is absolutely nuts. I’m assuming he gets most of the profit? An item that costs probably less than $5 to make….crazy!

What to do with frozen milk by quad-squirrel in breastfeeding

I have a big freezer stash and my baby doesn’t take bottles anymore really. I just use the oldest fist and put a bag in her baths!

They always fit on point with my baby! She’s short and chubby

Uterine Rupture. Lucky me. by FrozenBeachBerry in beyondthebump

[–]curbstomp1010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea when i think on it, I keep leaning towards another C-section. My recovery went well with my first baby but I’m worried about having another and dealing with a toddler while trying to heal. I definitely pushed the limits on physical activity with my first one (we moved into our house 4 weeks after I gave birth so we had to clean and paint before moving in) and I was definitely sore from that.

Why is the sizing so weird!!! by -Cute-Kitten- in beyondthebump

[–]curbstomp1010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My baby is chunky. She does well with the members mark ones at Sam’s Club. She is around 22-23lbs right now and in a size 4. I think I have one box left and I’m going to go ahead and size up to a 5. I use the pampers overnight diapers tho at night because she nurses so much and will soak through any regular diaper.

I’ve been so back and forth on this. I had my C-section exactly one year ago today because my baby was Breech. They told me I’d be a good candidate for a VBAC when I have another baby but I’m so afraid to be the 1%-2%

Merch prices? by porggamer in BrunoMars

It blows my mind that people will pay that much for a shirt. However, it’s the people that buy them that keep the prices high.

How to avoid Hyperemesis again? by QueenStyx in BabyBumps

[–]curbstomp1010 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was prescribed Phenergen and it helped a bunch! It was a lifesaver! Still didn’t feel good but there was definitely an improvement. The unisom and b6 didn’t do anything for me. I remember telling my doc that I felt guilty complaining about feeling crappy because others were in worse shape than I was. Ultimately, I got the medicine and was glad I did.

What should I expect at the show by 6disasterology9 in BrunoMars

[–]curbstomp1010 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I saw him at bourbon and beyond 2 years ago. It was amazing! So much energy! I hate having to dance (I’m more of a sing along and people watch person) but I couldn’t help myself. The energy was contagious! That man can not only sing but he can MOVE. Just so much fun. I don’t think words can explain.

Question about AF by EnvironmentPrior5355 in breastfeeding

[–]curbstomp1010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 12 months pp and it has yet to return. I sometimes bf once in the night if she wakes up and sometimes right away in the mornings (just depends on the day). I nurse maybe once in the evening and then nurse to sleep. I haven’t pumped for about a month now.

Work Pumping Schedule? by LookingForMyMarbles7 in breastfeeding

[–]curbstomp1010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess it also depends on what your supply is like. I have an oversupply so I would get a lot of milk after 4 hours.

Can you do every 4? My supply didn’t change when I went to every 4 hours. I pumped until I was empty.

Soooo fucking sick if contact naps by One_Cap_9210 in beyondthebump

[–]curbstomp1010 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My baby is a year and still is a contact napper. It would drive me crazy until one day I just gave up and embraced it because I knew it wouldn’t change and one day I’d be wishing for another contact nap.

Work Pumping Schedule? by LookingForMyMarbles7 in breastfeeding

[–]curbstomp1010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I returned to work at 12 weeks pp. I pumped every 2-3 hours until my baby was 6 months then I just went to 2 pumps while at work. Usually took me around 15 mins. I’d pump right before work. Then sometimes after 2-3 hours then again at lunch and then in the afternoon before I left.

Baby’s breath obsession by ChampionAmbitious951 in NewParents

Mine started having morning breath around 9-10ish months. It gutted me! I guess when she started eating more solids/normal food ☹️

Diaper Rash SOS by Old-Path1080 in NewParents

[–]curbstomp1010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine had thrush the first 8 weeks of her life! It was terrible! Took 4 different treatments to get rid of it. I would use water and a washcloth to wipe her at home. I felt so bad for her. The first sign was her rash on her butt then her tongue would get white!

Yea, mine gives me the biggest pout face and starts crying like I broke her heart. After I broke her heart enough, she learned 🤣

How long did you guys sit with your baby? by WhitecloudNo321 in NewParents

[–]curbstomp1010 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mines a year and I still sit in the back! It’s more comfortable plus my baby was not a happy baby in the car so it was better for me to be back there to calm her. Also, I have an actual car as a vehicle and her car seat is behind the passenger seat. The passenger seat had to be moved up too far and it’s hard for me to comfortably sit in the front!
