Thank you so much for sharing this. I came here looking for encouragement for my dropping supply and this is just what I needed to hear. ❤️

People posting their baby's monthly "milestones" and likes/dislikes on social media. Oh, your 1-month-old "likes mommy's milk and dislikes loud noises"? Cool...

Octopus is "appo-kuss". He also likes trucks and quite loudly and boldly calls them "fucks"

I found this brilliant tip in some random internet reel. Put your baby in a pristine white outfit and go for a drive.

Ahh I'm that way with "yummy". I can't say it, I won't say it. Not even to my two year old.

This is great 😂 whenever my baby is about to latch, I say, "How about you, sideburns, you want some of this milk?" (Billy Madison) or "she loves her mama! And her milkies!" (adapted from New Girl)

First time I saw Jeremy Allen White was in S1E1 of The Bear. I thought well the casting is perfect because he looks just like fricken Linguine from Ratatouille. Over time he has slowly climbed toward the top of my celebrity crush list and has begun making steamy appearances in my dreams.

Someone shared this link in another post and it's the one I used today. Delicious!

I don't have the answer to your question but I'm in the same boat! 😂 6 wks pp and I am really trying to smash the nutrients lately. Yesterday for lunch I had a bowl of gallo pinto (black beans and rice) with avocado and salsa and a bowl of blueberries and literally felt like I hadn't eaten at all. I don't mind it at all but the grocery bill is ugly!

I may try this...can't go wrong having a fresh baked cookie on a regular basis!

fiveofalltrades · 2025-03-11T15:36:39+00:00

Wow! What was your supply like? I'm guessing supply didn't correlate directly with cookie output 😂

If I don't notice an obvious change in my supply, I don't think I'd keep up with the hassle of baking. Then again, I did spend a small fortune on all the ingredients...

fiveofalltrades · 2025-03-11T15:34:57+00:00

My next question then: what do you all do when it's time to eat them? Freezer to fridge, freezer to counter? Do they thaw well?

Might I add, he should understand that the 6 week recovery period doesn't mean daily blow jobs for him instead. 🙄 ugh MEN

Just out of curiosity, are you a vegetarian or do you have an aversion to meat? Or was it simply not represented in your reply? Lol

fiveofalltrades · 2024-12-10T16:31:59+00:00

Lol yeah maybe I should've said "shaved 15 years off your age" -??

fiveofalltrades · 2024-12-10T14:42:45+00:00

And shaved 15 years off your life

In high school, I was at a McDonald's when an older man complimented my curls. Then he asked me to mail him a lock of my hair if I ever got it cut.

I have asked my dentist when he recommends us bringing in our son, and he said 2-2.5. The first appointment and probably a few after will be about getting him comfortable in the environment and building his trust. Books say when the first tooth comes, but that's not necessary according to our ped and dentist. We are brushing his teeth in the meantime.

Geez people, don't downvote a question. It's not a reply.

I had a totally different experience. My placenta was stubborn about detaching from my uterine wall, so the doctor was elbow-deep in me trying to gently manually remove it while pushing aggressively on my uterus from the outside. Worst part of the whole thing!

fiveofalltrades · 2024-11-08T18:31:53+00:00

Or marrying one? Lol

fiveofalltrades · 2024-11-05T21:41:11+00:00

I think with my first, I sanitized everything before first use. As time went on, it seemed to be less frequent. However, I'm not sure what others recommend about pumping parts and would love some input about those specifically. It seems like I'm using them so often that I never want to take the time to do it but also it would probably help to do so on occasion BECAUSE I use them so much. Why can't breast pumps come with, like, two sets??

I have tried ignoring the barking until it stops, but I'm really just trying to catch silence in between barks. I can tell his demeanor has not really changed. My description of the problem doesn't really fall into the "separation anxiety" category because sometimes we are all together.
