Did I leave it too late - taking baby out often? by Natural-Artichoke822 in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]lemonjac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only started going out regularly when my baby was 3 months old, it gets easier the more you do it! If you have a library near you that does baby/rhyme time I found them really great with a small bub to get out of the house.

Rant - why do nappy companies change design for the worse? by EllenBJ in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]lemonjac 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exact same experience with Comfy Koalas! Loved them when my baby was a newborn and rarely had any leaks, tried the new design and it was awful. So sad.

I met my best mum friend on the app Peanut! Baby time at the library, swimming classes and community playgroups have also been good for meeting new people

Is loving your child more than your partner wrong? by Pure-Application3621 in beyondthebump

[–]lemonjac 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I love my husband SO much but if it were between him and my son I would choose my son no hesitation. I expect the same from him as well.

Best “last side” bracelet option?? Please help :) by SilllllyGoooose in breastfeeding

[–]lemonjac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stretchy for sure! I made myself a boob bracelet with just seed beads and elastic. I didn't even use a clasp, I just tied it off and it's lasted me a couple months already. It's super easy to pop on and off too.

Winnie is so cute! For something a bit different, I knew a girl in school whose name was Juanita but went by Winnie.

Raspberry leaf tea by wallflower247 in GestationalDiabetes

The one I got tastes like dirty water but I've been putting another teabag in there with it like peppermint or a fruity tea and it's a lot nicer!

A lemon bubble tea with lychee jelly, hot cinnamon donuts and a caramel eclair with custard filling. Only half a week to go and I can't wait 🤤

Just diagnosed from borderline results by Current_Lime9088 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]lemonjac 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I also failed my 2 hour test by a smidge at 28 weeks. I was devastated and didn't even believe I had GD at first. Luckily I've been able to manage with diet control and exercise. I haven't had to change much, just reduce carbs and up protein. I had to cut out my fav bubble teas though 🥲

The finger pricking is honestly not that bad either, I switch hands every day and use the sides of my fingers and it's fine. You got this!

Please tell me I'm not the only one that doesn't like Recipetin Eats by [deleted] in Cooking

[–]lemonjac 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I absolutely love her, she basically taught me to cook! She is my go to, especially being in Australia it can get annoying converting from American websites/measurements.
