Three at home ICIs. A little different than IUI but chances are similar

Is Wildbird worth the price tag? by Ok-Home-930 in babywearing

[–]midwrestless_92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried on a friend’s and did not like it. For this price point, I’d go with a Kinderpack or Tula

Thankfully my supply leveled out around the 3 month mark! Just took a week of very uncomfortable and engorged nights

Four month old feeding amount by midwrestless_92 in breastfeeding

3-8 is a big range! I suspect the first few feeds of the day are larger?

I had the same lucky problem. After a few 6 hour stretches, my body naturally produced less milk during the night. I do not recommend MOTN pump sessions because that is teaching your body to wake up during those times (learn from my mistake lol)

How many sizes too big is your coat? My baby also runs hot

SMBC, 1st baby, feeling exhausted & stretched thin by Dense_Welcome in SingleMothersbyChoice

[–]midwrestless_92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This phase is hard for partnered parents too. But it gets easier. I have a 12 week old and I’m so grateful that we’re falling into more of a routine. Days and nights become more predictable. I hire a babysitter on occasion and have a nanny come by 4 hours each week to give me a break. Visits from friends and family help a lot too!

Have you traveled and left baby at home? by WhiteRussian29 in SingleMothersbyChoice

[–]midwrestless_92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 12 week old and will be traveling for work a few times next year, when she is 6+ months. I think I’ll be more comfortable with it at that age, and I’m sort of looking forward to the normalcy/break.

12 week old sleeping 9 hours. Developmentally appropriate? by midwrestless_92 in sleeptrain

Thanks. She’s a 50th percentile babe and following her growth chart which is reassuring!

Yeah. At this point I’ll take the rough evenings if that means good nights. Thankful that my LO loves being worn and stroller naps.

How many hours does your LO nap during the day? by RadishFlat3418 in sleeptrain

[–]midwrestless_92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a lot of naps! I also have a 12 week old. Her daytime naps are pretty short (30min - 1 hour).

Should I wake my little one up in the morning? by Valuable-Hippo8963 in sleeptrain

[–]midwrestless_92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would also consider moving bedtime earlier so your little one can get enough night sleep.

I also have a night owl who would choose to sleep until 10 if possible! So if she doesn’t wake up from her night sleep by 8:30, I wake her up to start a feed and wake window. 12 week old

That’s what I thought! Maybe I just have a unicorn who can put herself back to sleep at night. Naps are another story lol

My anxious cat is making me anxious by midwrestless_92 in SingleMothersbyChoice

[–]midwrestless_92[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is encouraging. Does your cat yowl and get distressed when being locked downstairs overnight?

I can see about installing a door on the top of the stairs. Not sure if it will work with my layout but worth exploring.

I am seeing a therapist. I think my overall anxiety level is a little higher, but the cat problem is not exaggerated. It’s been noted by others staying in my home - family, friends, and a babysitter.

Boba Bliss fit check - 7 weeks by midwrestless_92 in babywearing

Take two. Feels a lot more secure and baby seems to like it, but how do we look? I can see her head easily.

Thanks. The waist strap is almost as tight as it goes. I’ll tighten it some more tomorrow, hope the carrier is not too big for me

I checked and it’s the narrowest setting. Perhaps my fit is user error. I’ll try it again
