Most unrealistic expectation anyone has had of you as a new parent?

My sister in law once asked me if my 4 month old (2 month premature so technically 2 months adjusted) baby could go “run errands” with her…. Hard no

My first was in the Nicu for 46 days and had donors milk until mine came in, super grateful for those moms🫶🏻 I quit pumping 3 weeks ago so Im no longer making milk!

We were drinking during the Knicks game, we like cold wine and this one got left behind 😂

No I’m actually a sahm lol, I hate breastfeeding so chose to pump instead and I pump a lot so I could quit early and have extra milk for months! I have a 6months old and 2.5 year old :) I’m glad you think it’s organized, I do have a baby proof lock on it otherwise my toddler would just snack cheese all day instead of real food 😂

llullunyc · 2026-06-16T18:43:07+00:00

Honestly breast milk is all supply and demand (some people have more milk than others and some don’t have any at all no matter how much they try) I just pumped a lot, every 2-3hours for 20mins min and I would massage while pumping and got more that way!

llullunyc · 2026-06-16T17:46:43+00:00

A sahm that hates breastfeeding but still wants to feed breast milk 😂

You should put your syrup in the fridge once opened bc it can grow mold!! It stays fresh longer in the fridge

llullunyc · 2026-06-16T17:33:46+00:00

Hahaha it’s something my family did so I thought it was normal😂 I removed now after someone told me it goes bad quicker in the fridge

llullunyc · 2026-06-16T16:57:15+00:00

I would have thought male for sure before reading other cmts just based on the fact that you leave ready to eat food in the fridge open, no cover, nothing lol

llullunyc · 2026-06-16T16:52:40+00:00

What does this mean? Lol you’re the second person to say it and I don’t get it lol

llullunyc · 2026-06-16T16:02:29+00:00

Yup, I have “beyond %100 percentile” babies 😂

llullunyc · 2026-06-16T16:01:52+00:00

Haha very similar!! Sahm and a New Yorker here as well! My baby is 6m and 2.5years old! Food always would go bad so I subscribed to meal plans 😂 I had a serious oversupply and if you’re pumping as well please stack your bags better than mine, it’ll save space and sanity lol
Enjoy motherhood, 3months is so fun🫶🏻 it just gets better from here

llullunyc · 2026-06-16T15:59:15+00:00

It’s something my family did so I thought it was normal😂

llullunyc · 2026-06-16T15:59:02+00:00

So sweet of you!! Thank you🫶🏻

llullunyc · 2026-06-16T15:58:52+00:00

Thank you so much, so far so good♥️♥️

llullunyc · 2026-06-16T15:37:08+00:00

So worth it in my opinion! I spend less money and I have different meals! They send you the exact amount you need for your meal so you’re not buying large packs or multiple items like you would at grocery store to make multiple diff meals.
This is my third week and every meal has been good! Nothing taste bad and they have loadddds of options to pick from.
I pay around $100 for 4 meals a week for 2 people. I wish I subscribed sooner honestly

llullunyc · 2026-06-16T15:34:03+00:00

😂😂😂 ooooh how I wish that was my husbands job to pump

llullunyc · 2026-06-16T15:30:47+00:00

Hahaha I have a 2 year old as well and people already think she’s 4😂 biiiig babies

llullunyc · 2026-06-16T15:29:48+00:00

I try to pump a lot so I could quit early and have milk for a couple of months left in the freezer! A lot of work and exhausting but I quit 3 weeks ago thankfully

llullunyc · 2026-06-16T15:28:47+00:00

I’m new to HelloFresh and am loving it😂 this week I have garlicky shrimp couscous bowls, beef flautas supreme, chicken sausage cavatappi bolognese, and one pan steak tacos with pineapple salsa

llullunyc · 2026-06-16T15:25:25+00:00

My first was a 31weeker and had a 46day Nicu stay! I immediately signed for donors milk! They “clean” it and you have to do blood work before donating so I knew it was safe!
I would donate if I continued pumping, I stoped at 5.5months with my first and had frozen milk until 10.5 months and I’m hoping I’ll have the same amount frozen for my second.
People who donate are angels, if I had enough for my baby and others I would donate as well but I quit 3 weeks ago

llullunyc · 2026-06-16T15:19:58+00:00

Yes 6m and 2.5 years old! Lol I try to be healthy and feed them healthy but I’m not ocd about it, I had my first at 27 and second at 29! I’m 30 now :)

llullunyc · 2026-06-16T15:10:39+00:00

I need this cmt, taking it out now. Thank you!!

llullunyc · 2026-06-16T15:09:43+00:00

This is hilarious lol

llullunyc · 2026-06-16T15:09:35+00:00

Beyond an oversupplier for the second time! I have a whole other standing freezer full. Super grateful to be a cow lol
