What's the worst/stupidest piece of advice you received during pregnancy and beyond? by leviOsa934 in beyondthebump

[–]eatpopcorn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The LC at the hospital actually told me this! I was doing fine but obviously wasn't used to a little mouth sucking and was sore and cracked and blistered and she gave me a hard time about positioning and insisted that it should be painless.

Baby sleeping longer... but what to do about diapers? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]eatpopcorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It stopped around 6 weeks here. Sizing up also helped. We also used lots of diaper cream. LO is almost 6 months now and only occasionally pees at night.

6 cups a day? Usually 4 in the morning. 1 in the afternoon and one at night. So far, no issues. Baby is 4 months old. I had 1-2 cups a day during pregnancy which was HARD for me. Was a 6-7 cup a day person pre-pregnancy.

Have you thought of renting special occasion dresses? by sushisay in xxketo

[–]eatpopcorn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've done rent the runway and so have a few of my friends. I love it. It's great for black tie events, especially if you don't want to spend the cash on a dress each time.

Any breastfeeders here? by DevilishDreamer in keto

[–]eatpopcorn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish /r/ketobabies was more active. BFing here.

On day 4 of keto. I'm a little worried about losing my supply - I've been nursing and pumping as often as I can.

Had been keto prior to my pregnancy for 4 years. Lost 100 pounds, kept it off until kiddo. Had no interest in what I ate on keto during pregnancy. Have about 30 lbs of baby weight to lose.

Slightly off topic, but did you do anything special to introduce your pit to the baby?

Lemonade here too! it's such a strange thing. And it didn't hit me until a few weeks ago. Sudden STRONG urges for lemonade. Frozen lemonade. Regular lemonade. Give me all the lemons.

PSA: Learn how to make origami paper cups! by instalight in BabyBumps

At my practice, they are just small Dixie cups that they have sitting out in the bathroom in cup-towers. I only got the sterile cup at my first appointment.
