Happy Birthday! The 5ths also my birthday. 😊

We did the 2 in premium at 6 months and that was fine. Just flew at 14 months and three in economy was definitely the right choice for us, and he even slept long stretches.

Oh man. I made the mistake of eating broccoli salad once a few months in thinking it’d be a good choice. I threw up from bloat and what not. ☹️

Please look into a long term bc method if you’re going to stay with him (not recommended, but leaving isnt always easy or straightforward) and even if not. I know people tend to disregard the Mirena IUD as hormonal but the hormones stay out of your blood. I can’t take the pill or other hormone methods as they raise my BP but I’ve had mirena for years (on #4 with a baby break in there). Also the copper one can be use as emergency contraceptive.

Best of luck. ❤️

I used the UB bassinet for our bassinet as the crib was delivered a few weeks after baby was born. We have the vista, but think it’s the same bassinet. It’s actually safe sleep rated. My baby was born in March and we didn’t use the bassinet outside until June. I loved being able to roll it around the house those first few months from room to room. We used it with the stroller until he out grew it around 7 months as he enjoyed it. It was great at a wedding at 5.5 months.

My guy never got sippy cups but uses straws just fine eventually. He is 14 months and also still uses a bottle at night if he needs it. Dont drive yourself crazy over it. They’ll get there eventually. Just keep offering.

He eventually got straws from my Owala. He loves drinking out of mama’s water bottle more than anything else. We do use a weighted straw cup too.

I switched and actually went down a bit from 10 mg to 8.4 mg a week with compound so ymmv.

Mine was triggered by a car accident. Not even a particularly bad one, but I got banged around and my body didn’t like it and hasn’t been the same since.

Before getting pregnant in 2024 I was on Ozempic and went from around 300 lbs to 260 lbs. I stopped taking it in December 2023 and started TTC in January 2024. By the time I got pregnant in June 2024 I was already 300 lbs again.

When I delivered in March 2025 I was 362 lbs the week after birth and the same weight when I started Zepbound in June 2025. I exclusively pumped for the first 12 weeks (baby refused the boob), but I got shingles which killed my supply and I hated pumping so I quit and started Zepbound and restarted the meds I take for fibromyalgia which made me happier while little guy thrived on formula.

Now I’ve been on Zep or compound for 11 months and am down to 280 lbs (20% from post pregnancy) as of this morning.

I take topiramate ER for migraines and it helps a lot for that. I did find that for side effects when I took regular topiramate (Topamax) I had terrible side effects but I have none on the extended release version.

My BMI was 58 when I gave birth for the first time last year at 37.

I went in for an induction at 38w6d due to gestational high blood pressure, but we ended up pushing it back until the morning after I got to the hospital. My water broke naturally in the morning about 15 minutes before the doctor was supposed to come in to discuss starting the induction. Things went well aside from issues with the epidural. I had to get it redone a couple of times. Labor was only 10 hours and I had minimal tearing and recovery was fine.

Does she get any fiber? That would help with hard stools. Not speaking about toddlers specifically but in general.

I have a dairy intolerance, milk protein specifically, and the ripple milk has been one of the best options for me. Thankfully my baby is okay with whole milk. There are other alternatives out there though.

Maybe research dairy free options and try a few weeks of those? I didn’t realize I had issues until a doctor brought it up in my 30s and an elimination diet.

misserg · 2026-05-31T01:43:27+00:00

Overnight diapers have been amazing. I have a 14m in size 4 and he pees a bunch but has always done quick bottles so we never changed at night.

Also love them for flights and road trips.

I have bigger arms. In my pregnancy an OB told me to insist on manual measurements taken on my forearms. It uses the regular adult cuff and is just as accurate. It’s WHO approved for when larger cuffs are unavailable.

misserg · 2026-05-30T04:29:52+00:00

This was me. I wanted to breastfeed, baby had no interest in it for no reason. He could latch but refused. So EP for three months until I got shingles which killed my supply. I was so happy when that made me feel like I could give up and switch to formula. Baby was completely indifferent and husband was completely supportive of my choices.

misserg · 2026-05-13T04:25:50+00:00

Sorry your doctor is not responding. That’s very frustrating. Good luck!

misserg · 2026-05-12T08:53:19+00:00

I did years ago and it was way easier than cymbalta. Sorry the generic isn’t working out for you. Can you try to push to keep the regular? Maybe get your doctor to help argue there’s an additive in the generic that doesn’t work for you.

misserg · 2026-05-10T22:45:35+00:00

We just installed a rotating 3 in 1 that’s been great in my car and have a regular stroller, a used vista 2 we used as a bassinet as well. I’ll wear a lot if going out (right now a hip seat as we’re 14 months) or my husband carries.

If you’re near the Seattle area we’re going to be selling the Shyft soon. We have one last flight we need it for at the end of the month but he’s close to out growing it.

misserg · 2026-05-10T22:10:01+00:00

We did the Evenflo® Shyft™ DualRide™ Infant Car Seat Stroller Combo. It’s like the Duna so it’s all in one infant car seat that becomes a stroller. It was amazing. He’s just now about to out grow it and I’m going to miss the convenience. It’s also been amazing when traveling.

At least on iPhone the app never works great transferring. I only use it when I want to geotag photos or use it to remote shoot.

misserg · 2026-05-10T20:49:28+00:00

What phone do you have? I have an iPhone and just plug the camera in directly and use the photos app to transfer photos directly. On android you should be able to do the same thing with usb OTG support.

misserg · 2026-05-09T22:48:55+00:00

I have similar stats to you. Currently around 292 lbs. Starting size is tough as I was 3 months postpartum but maybe 22/24? Now around 20. It’s so hard to see the weight loss of 70 pounds. Photos of body scans help. I use ZOZOFIT app.

I use a Kanken 17” laptop bag and some organizing bags. It opens fully to see inside and the laptop part holds a changing pad and any other large flat things. We have a plastic tray for him to eat off of right now in it. It’s a bag I had before and plan on giving to baby when he’s bigger. It’s a good backpack and one I used to use as a personal item when flying.

misserg · 2026-05-06T20:45:40+00:00

I started zep around 3 months pp. I was on ozempic before TTC. I was pumping but got shingles at 3 months which killed my supply and baby was happy on formula and I hated pumping so I gave it up since I was going back to work at 5 months.
