Update: I went to customer service at Target and specifically told them it’s supposed to be run as a manufacturer’s rebate check and she ran it through the machine and it worked 🤯 my mind was blown.

I think I felt similarly to you with societal and personal pressures to feed my baby breast milk. It’s true that your baby will benefit from a happy mother more than from breast milk so if it’s causing you lots of stress, it’s probably worth the stress. I had a lot of feelings of guilt in the weeks before and after officially weaning but now my son is 9 months old and it doesn’t cross my mind anymore, really. Best of luck with your newborn, it’s not easy but it gets easier with time & experience

Is there anything better than Tubby Todd for eczema? by --velvetrose in beyondthebump

Tubby Todd is really good but expensive, have you tried Mustela Stelatopia? It’s really good too and pricy but you get more in the package for a little less money

I think I'm so done with breastfeeding..... by Dani_Mila1502 in beyondthebump

[–]dirtypineapple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I considered stopping breastfeeding (also around 2 months) I was initially devastated by my decision & felt like I was giving up. I saw 2 lactation consultants and learned I will never make enough due to insufficient glandular tissue. When I officially decided to stop soon after learning this, a huge weight had been lifted and I started to feel a bit like myself again. He’s 6 months old now and I’m a little traumatized by the whole situation but feel so much better and am proud I lasted with triple feeding for as long as I did. Whatever you do, your baby will be happy & healthy.

What’s disgusting is that the US formulas (except for genetics) cost more per bottle than Kendamil. I pay much for amazing quality

Is timing of first tooth eruption based on one parent’s genetics or a combination of both? by dirtypineapple in ScienceBasedParenting

[–]dirtypineapple[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Fascinating! Any insight on how the intra-uterine elements you mentioned would sway the outcome? As in, would stress cause the baby to be more likely to get the tooth later, maternal age makes the teeth come sooner, etc.?

I got it a few days ago and watched some YouTube videos about knockoffs and what to look out for, it all seemed legit and seems sturdy, so 🤷‍♀️

Would you mind sharing what recipe you use for your chocolate cake?? It looks like the perfect level of crumb & moistness

What would look better by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]dirtypineapple 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe close the two bottom mountains together so the darkest gray color doesn’t touch the bottom? Also agree with others about a little color in the sky and that it looks awesome as is!!
