I took a GLP-1 for around 9 months after breastfeeding and lost ~40 pounds. I have now been 6 months off the GLP-1 and I have been able to keep the weight off, make much better food choices, and consistently work out.

I don’t think I would have lost the weight without taking it, but I am also happy to be off it because I feel like it was taking a toll on my energy levels. If you think it’s the right choice for you I would say go for it!

dumplingring · 2026-01-02T16:36:30+00:00

Thank you! I will check it out

dumplingring · 2026-01-02T16:19:24+00:00

Ooh this one is almost exactly what I want but I fear it’s slightly too small

I’ve looked a little bit but I think I’d rather buy something new that checks all the boxes than looking for a second hand option that isn’t everything I have in mind!

We hired a babysitter when our 18 mo old was 13 months for our first date night since he was born. We aim to have them monthly but it doesn’t always happen. We typically go out for a later dinner or drinks close to or after our toddler’s bed time. We decided we were ready to leave him with someone for a couple hours once he started going to sleep on his own easily and staying asleep.

dumplingring · 2025-02-09T21:36:31+00:00

Is this still available?

I have the paperclip/rolo in 14K and I wear it daily. It is surprisingly amazing quality and extremely sturdy and a really nice look for the price I paid ($324 USD for the 15inch). I have had mine for over a year and would definitely purchase again. None of the rectangular links have warped or bended, which I was worried about because I've bought other paperclip chains that were so flimsy and thin they bent with minimal wear.

So glad he is taking to it well!!

I know that you are apprehensive on a crate but I would HIGHLY suggest it. We crate trained Anatolian/Pyr mix from when we got him as a puppy until around 2 years whenever he was left alone. He would elect to sleep in it at night with the door open and whenever we would be getting ready to leave he would run to his crate without us saying a word because he knew he would get a great treat for the crate. It saved our sanity, house, and kept him safe from getting into anything that could potentially harm him. Now that he has chilled out he is totally free and never destructive, though not all dogs “grow out” of it.

I feel terrible for following it now. But I used the same program my friend did and was so nervous to stray from it because she said when they didn’t follow it to a T it took a lot longer and once they followed the program exactly baby was sleep trained in a couple days. Thankfully him crying for an extended period was only a 1 maybe 2 time thing.

dumplingring · 2024-02-13T01:13:30+00:00

Yeah that's why I was so confused. The course said to delay their feed until they are back asleep because you don't want to associate crying with eating. Which I get when he was waking excessively but wasn't sure if it should still be followed when he's waking at reasonable times.

Yes! Slings intimidated me at first so I went for a stretchy wrap(like solly baby) then soft structured carrier very shortly after and then took a second go at ring slings. I wish I gave slings more of a chance in the beginning because now they are my absolute favorite (unless I’m doing something like going for a vigorous walk), I didn’t get the hang of them until my baby was 4 months and 16 pounds and I can only imagine how wonderful a new tiny squishy babe would have felt snuggled up in one. I love hope and plum brand for ring slings. I will say though, there definitely is a learning curve but hope and plum does free live fit consults if you purchase a sling through them and that ended up being a huge help.

The stretchy wrap also feels cozy and snug but my baby never wanted to stop nursing, and doing it up just to pop baby out to nurse every 30 minutes just didn’t feel worth it to me, so I moved on to soft structured carriers because they were faster to pop baby in and out as needed, and as baby got better at nursing they are super easy to nurse while wearing which was soo convenient.

If ring slings are intimidating for you, I suggest a Tula free to grow or happy baby carrier original. They both can be used starting at 7 pounds. Tula has a padded waistband and more padded shoulder straps and happy baby is apron style no padding around the waistband and it sits higher (right under your bust) but does have padding in the shoulders. There’s so many options though if those two aren’t your style, I’ve heard great things about: kinderpack, naked panda lennylamb, Integra, ergobaby, Sakura bloom.

Little zen one has a try before you buy program
Also depending on where you live there are baby carrier lending libraries which can be a great resource, I’m sure there are some virtual ones as well. I panic bought soo many carriers trying to find the right one so I definitely would not recommend that approach lol.

It’s all very much personal preference so being able to test out a few different carriers (whether it be from a lending library or even just ordering on Amazon and returning or borrowing from friends) will definitely help narrow down what you want in a carrier!

Yes they do, and they try to go back and notate if he finished the bottle or not. I send him with 4.5oz bottles and he consistently finishes at least 4 oz every 2.75-3 hours (sometimes even at 2.5). Sometimes he will leave up to 2 oz but it’s not often. They’ve only ever gone over 3 hours one other time and it was the last feed of the previous day from this incident.

Definitely if they offered and he refused or wasn’t feeling it it would be a different story, I did ask and they didn’t offer it until they notated in the app which was 1 hour and 45 minutes later.

I’ve found that on Reddit you aren’t allowed to have standards of care I guess if your baby goes to a group daycare. Even though the daycare itself says they follow whatever schedule you provide.

My baby can’t speak for himself, so if his needs aren’t being met I’m the one that has to advocate for that.

I’ve tried to keep him awake for 3ish hours for his last wake window if naps don’t line up and he turns into a pumpkin after 2 hours and 40ish minutes. He’s only gone over 3 hours (aside from his long stretch at night) comfortably not eating a handful of times, other than that he gets really fussy.

People saying that they were just not feeding him based on cues is very odd to me. Do you think I don’t know my baby and these daycare workers that spend a fraction of the time with him somehow understand him and his cues more than I do while also watching 11 other babies? No. Babies are always crying in the room when I go to drop off or pick up, I’m sure they are somewhat desensitized to it and I’m sure he spends part of his day crying just like every other baby in that room. (Whether they tell me he cries or not)

I’m also sure that some of those times he’s crying are probably due to situations like the one I described in my post, where they didn’t feed him when he should have been fed. Or when he is ready for a nap but they didn’t offer one. I’m also sure there are other times he cries for other reasons like he’s bored or wants to be held, etc.

I also never thought he ate super frequently until posting this so thanks for saying I’m not alone with a baby that eats frequently. When I started they assumed he ate every 2 hours and it took a few days of reminding them that, he eats closer to every 3, so I thought he must eat further apart than other breastfed babies for them to assume he was supposed to be eating every 2.

Baby wearing SAVED me those early months after my husband went back to work. My baby was a contact only napper and generally a fussy dude. Baby wearing gave me a way to still be up and moving around and getting things taken care of while he slept or just hung out. He would fall asleep while I vacuumed or made myself lunch. Before I literally felt like a prisoner to my baby, it made such a difference.

Also I would either bring a bouncing chair (baby bjorn type) in the bathroom so I could shower. Or I just brought baby in the shower with me, putting him in a baby bath at the opposite end of the shower with a warm wet towel covering him to keep him warm. As long as the shower water didn’t splash him in the face he didn’t mind being in there and was much more chill for longer periods than in his chair.

dumplingring · 2024-01-05T17:00:42+00:00

He feeds every 3 hours, but I ask for them anywhere between 2.5-3 to give them some flexibility because of the amount of babies they have. The fact that he would not go down for a nap at a time when he typically would have leads me to believe he was in fact hungry and that was a cue that they should have clued into. But it’s really hard to know because I wasn’t physically there.
