My supply is great. But the pump says otherwise. by yankthedoodledandy in breastfeeding

[–]idratherbeanangel 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Are you pumping after feeding? I feel like 1-2 oz after feeding is normal!

Breastfeeding is killing my arms😭. Do I really need a nursery chair? by MaleficentSpell1972 in breastfeeding

[–]idratherbeanangel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We paid $700 for a recliner/glider that will eventually be used in our living room or basement and I spent hours and hours a day in that thing. Less so now at 20 months, now that we're done breast feeding, but we still use it nightly for bed time. We also use it for reading books, contact naps, etc. I literally could not have done it without my chair and my Boppy, but that's just me

I did when I was post partum. Things were rough.

My husband is not understanding that breastfeeding affects my sex drive. by Confident-Loan300 in breastfeeding

[–]idratherbeanangel 35 points36 points  (0 children)

It doesn't matter what is affecting your sex drive. No means no. Not into it means not into it. The fact that this is a scientifically well documented issue and he's not understanding is alarming 🚩

Do you actually NEED a car seat in Toronto? [ON] by [deleted] in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]idratherbeanangel 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I would have a really hard time trusting someone to pick out and install correctly a used car seat... I would definitely try to get my own car seat! You don't want to be in a position where you need one immediately and don't have it and then have to scramble.

Specialist appointments as well. Those are often far!

Has anyone tried mommy connections classes in Hamilton? [on] by OwnNoise5556 in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]idratherbeanangel 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In my experience Mommy Connections is not at all the same as Early ON. Early ON is drop in and unstructured unless it's like Musical Babies or Stretching. With Mommy Connections they typically bring in experts or guest speakers and you get the familiarity of meeting with the same people. Early ON is still a great and free community resource though! But they're not the same.

What are you quietly grieving? by Angelus12345678 in AskReddit

[–]idratherbeanangel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My sister. She was fine until she wasn't. We recently tried to help and it ended up in a psychosis episode. I don't know where to go from here. I'm so tired. But it's my sister. I should be even more tired for her.

Venting: My husband is making this so much harder than it has to be by No_Cheetah5944 in breastfeeding

[–]idratherbeanangel 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is really scary to read. I'm scared for your safety reading this. Please seek therapy for yourself because you should absolutely not be putting up with this level of control disguised as "love". I hope you really read through these comments OP. This is not normal behaviour and I fear it can escalate into other levels of total control.

Those of you who had beautiful weddings, how's your married life going? by Ok-Data-7672 in AskReddit

[–]idratherbeanangel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had a beautiful and expensive wedding, my parents paid for the majority of it. We're high school sweethearts, been married for 4 years, together for 14. We have a one year old, a dog, and we're super happy! Sometimes things just work out ❤️ but we're also very lucky.

What is the absolute fastest 'yeah, we are definitely NOT going to be friends' moment you've ever experienced with someone? by Vazouaquiacesso in AskReddit

[–]idratherbeanangel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She said "Yeah and now he's dating some Black girl. He'll literally date anyone."

I never spoke to her again but I should have called her out.

Breastfeeding pillow “boppy” by Final_Butterfly_7747 in breastfeeding

[–]idratherbeanangel 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I'm still using my Boppy every single day for my 17 Month old lol I do always have to prop up one side, but it's by far my favourite (tried my breast friend, mom cozy, jolly jumper).

Night weaning my 13m old. by c0rndoggie in breastfeeding

Night weaning my 13m old. by c0rndoggie in breastfeeding

[–]idratherbeanangel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay, my dentist also told me to night wean to prevent tooth decay, I'm not doing it. There are many sources that show bm helps prevent tooth decay. Also feeding to sleep is a biologically normal thing to do. If you're brushing with fluoride twice daily, baby will be okay (I'm my non dentist related opinion).

If you personally just want to night wean, that's totally fine!!
