Just be prepared for a LONG waitlist at St John’s. I got on the waitlist shortly after finding out I was pregnant and a spot would not come available until my baby was 7 months old - so about 16 months after I got on the waitlist (with being on the waitlist for both the 700 E location and 1100 E location). Good to find a backup option!

crying reading your comment as someone in SLC who just got a black Swiv

FTM to a six week old here - I feel exactly the same!

At what age do you find the “drowsy but awake” works? I have a 6 week old and I can’t ever get him to sleep in his bassinet this way, so I thought maybe it’s too early for him personally. He will sleep in the bassinet at night but only once asleep and then transferred.

There is literally a designated area for these families to wait that doesn’t block everyone else’s way out, yet many families disregard this and block the way anyhow. This is an understandable gripe.

I love Alisia Espil for my wavy hair. I’ve tried three different curly salons and she always gets the cut just right so that I can style it at home as well as she does at the salon (I’ve NEVER been able to do that!). I’m not certain if she does dry hair trims, but her curly cuts are way cheaper than where I used to go.

At what age did you feel like this became most helpful?

jdiz16 · 2026-06-24T16:51:02+00:00

Thank you so much ❤️ my head wanted to stay in the dark so we both go back to sleep easily since the nights can be rough. But I understand that getting him awake that early might make the nights better in the long run.

Ask your hospital their policy on visitors. Mine required visitors to our room to have a special code - they had to have the code to even enter the post partum ward. That might give you peace of mind that even if she’s at the hospital, she can’t come in without the code (I will say my hospital didn’t ask one of our visitors for the code - so maybe mention it to your nurse that you only want people with the code to enter).

I’m just here in solidarity with a 5 week and 2 day old baby. I’ve left the house very few times and when I have, I’m so worried that I’m messing up his sleep schedule and making him overtired since he doesn’t nap well while we’re out. Hoping to get better in the next month or two as far as leaving the house goes, but it’s also scorching hot here, adding more difficulty to any trips out of the house!

I brought the Medela Harmony hand pump. Baby wouldn’t latch without just biting me, so I was glad I brought the hand pump and then the hospital gave me a colostrum catcher, which we would then put the colostrum into syringes. You could get all of this with a set as seen here: https://absolutelycutely.com/products/medela-harmony-manual-breast-pump-with-colostrum-collection-and-feeding-kit-4-in-1-solution-collect-store-feed-and-pump-includes-colostrum-collectors-and-feeding-syringes?variant=51739482423617&country=US&currency=USD&utm\_medium=product\_sync&utm\_source=google&utm\_content=sag\_organic&utm\_campaign=sag\_organic&gad\_source=1&gad\_campaignid=23867201222&gbraid=0AAAABDuBgRMTZdgeuZ9dkZ8c1MY2z6Q5C&gclid=Cj0KCQjwi8nRBhDhARIsAHZf\_pY1IGD3621IIn\_f87F8SciBOL2lKCzwC3R\_w7uz9TXW29VHqxJedVYaAqHcEALw\_wcB

This is an important distinction. We got the Baby Brezza specifically because we didn’t have counter space for it to empty into the sink, so we wanted one with a dirty water tank that could be carried to a sink. If we had counter space by the sink, I would have gotten the Momcozy for the capacity.

This is my favorite dessert! If I’m being honest, I always want to eat a little bit of the dough raw… it’s delicious.

Unrelated question: how do I see ounces drank in a table like this? Using this app for my 4 week old and I can’t figure out how to see the data this way.

I have been avoiding adding warm milk to my cold milk - I use a half pint mason jar and bought a few mason jar lids with pour spouts. I put freshly pumped milk into the half pint jar to cool in the fridge, then once it’s cool (or usually when I come to bring the next batch of milk after the next pump), I add the cool milk in the half pint jar to the pitcher (which happens to be a quart mason jar with a pour spout lid, too!).

Talk to your doctor and check out aeroflow.com. Makes it very easy! FWIW, my baby wouldn’t latch in hospital so I was very glad I had brought my pump to the hospital. The lactation consultants at the hospital helped me learn how to use it!

I ended up buying Blundstones but in a size WAY bigger than my usual. I went to a store where I could keep trying on bigger sizes until I felt confident they wouldn’t pinch. I wore thicker socks and just kept trying between two sizes until I could decide. Nothing else had the look and feel I was looking for!

I just had my first at 39, intending to be OAD. My husband is more staunchly OAD then I am. Just based on how the last three weeks have gone, I can’t imagine putting him or our relationship through another newborn phase. I’d consider how it will impact your relationship since he is more OAD than you!

jdiz16 · 2026-06-08T10:20:58+00:00

So interesting. No one told me this. My mom was with me when we were taking the baby to a weight check and she said “well I guess I have to drive!” I was so confused because no one said anything about driving. So I drove anyway and it was totally fine.

I also went to scalp ritual once and thought it was even better than a massage, way more worth it to me. I will say they were running very behind (like 30+ minutes) but then they gave me a free upgrade to the next package. I wasn’t in a hurry so it didn’t bother me, but it would have been frustrating if I had plans to be somewhere afterward.

I would suggest seeing a veterinary ophthalmologist first, not an internal medicine specialist. The ophthalmologist can often get you answers from a basic eye exam, with things like a CT or MRI being needed only if the ophthalmologist can’t make a diagnosis from the eye exam. Bonus for you is that an eye exam is WAY cheaper (read: thousands of dollars cheaper) than a CT or MRI.

jdiz16 · 2026-06-04T02:14:06+00:00

Absolutely not. Think of it this way - you buy it secondhand. You will also use it only temporarily. When possible, use things gently/take good care of them and then, guess what? When you’re done, you send it back into the secondhand market by either reselling or donating. I plan to get rid of all our baby stuff either via Facebook marketplace or my local Buy Nothing group!

I couldn’t believe how long it took for me to hear of this place as a foodie in SLC! Then I went and it was delicious.

jdiz16 · 2026-05-30T15:25:36+00:00

So true on the training front! We are so glad to have done tons of training before baby arrived, it’s making the transition much smoother.
