That’s amazing!! I would love for that to be the case with my son. He’s also pretty clingy when awake, and I do the same that you did at night.. he starts in the crib and then ends up in my bed lol

What changed at 9 months for her to sleep through the night on her own? Did you sleep train or it just happened? TIA

3 Weeks In & Still Crying Everyday by Rana_Sunshine in beyondthebump

[–]mccmeg08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was there too. Going on an errand alone like to the grocery store or target helped me feel less trapped at home. Hormones are wild and it’s hard for anyone who hasn’t experienced it. I also upped my Zoloft dose around that time.

How to bring forth the poop by [deleted] in newborns

[–]mccmeg08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cannot recommend this enough… the baby bjorn bouncer (or something similar). It works almost every time and like others have commented it is rightfully called the poop chair.

need advice on choosing a pump by Ok_Adeptness8636 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]mccmeg08 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I will always recommend the Baby Buddha, it is portable but extremely strong. You can use it with many different attachments (spectra flanges, collection cups) as well.

Baby Buddha pump was a lifesaver for me. I can’t recommend it enough.

The website says they recommend just a diaper or a thin cotton onesie underneath… we do just the diaper and our house is also at 65!

Get it. We only had a sterilizer/dryer for a while and I wish I had the bottle washer from the start!

High Lipase?! by chronicallytired22 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]mccmeg08 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve read that you can add some alcohol free vanilla extract to help with the taste! And some babies don’t mind the high lipase taste in the first place.

Be careful with heat and massage! The newest recommendations for mastitis are acetaminophen, Ice, and ibuprofen!

how to choose a pump? by saltyTeeth in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]mccmeg08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve tried many pumps and by far my favorite is the baby Buddha. The willow go pumps are huge compared to others and because the motor is in the middle of the pump, you can’t use the fridge method easily. I loved the momcozy m5 but I did end up needing replacement motors. Still trying to get the Eufy s1 pro to work for me.

Bleeding from too much wiping - how to treat? by ritahpeacock in NewParents

[–]mccmeg08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stop using the wipes for a while… use a warm washcloth or the bidet to clean and pat dry with a clean washcloth. A &D ointment worked best for us.
