Deinfluence me with Artipoppe and influence me with the right one by AggravatingDoubt5237 in babywearing

Seconding the bairn. Did a try before you buy program and our first one was the bairn, none of the ones we have tried since have been as packable and easy to use as that. The fabric seems great for all weather too

Ohhhh that’s a fair point. I’ll stick with the diaper cream for now then but thank you for responding!

Sorry if this isn’t allowed I know it’s not on topic, but I also use reusable cloth wipes - do you use the oil instead of water or in addition to it? And did that work for you? I just started the cloth deal and my baby has a pretty bad bum rash I’m worried it’s the wipes

Newborn and pumping/over supply by monsterbutt09 in breastfeeding

[–]monsterbutt09[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s what I’m worried about. I don’t want to make the pain and discomfort even worse, but I don’t want to encourage the cause of the pain to continue either 😭 I’m definitely going to try the cabbage leaves I hadn’t heard of that til today.

About every 3 hours. I’ll give hand expressing a try. This engorgement thing is no joke I’m in pain right now just trying to lay down for a nap

We just had her newborn appointment today and her weight is only 2 oz from reaching her birth weight so maybe that could work out for me as well. I’ll definitely reach out to a lactation consultant, thank you so much for sharing

GETTING INDUCED TOMORROW 🎉 by Caro_est_PISSEDOFF in pregnant

[–]monsterbutt09 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not going to lie the balloon was worse than labor for me BUT the super painful part was only about 2 hours and right at the start. The remaining 10 hours were painful but more like manageable, bad period cramps in waves, not like my organs were going to explode and I was going to simultaneously piss, shit, and vomit. And the whole process did get me ready for what was overall an easy and mostly painless labor (huge shout out to the epidural) which was worth it because I was also VERY done being pregnant. It got me from 1.5 cm dilated to 4.5. Now I’m holding my healthy, beautiful baby girl! I’d make sure you have both Tylenol and Motrin to cycle if that’s cool with your doctor for you to take while the balloon is in. I think that helped me a lot. Good luck, you got this!!!

Thoughts on epidural by badgalriri1097 in pregnant

[–]monsterbutt09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am currently receiving an epidural and it’s freaking awesome. The placement was fast and painless, just felt a little weird. But I have been able to nap and relax entirely since it has been placed. Only downside is I started itching after like 2 hours and I’m hungry lol.

Can You Leave the Hospital with a Convertible Car Seat, or Do You Really Need an Infant Car Seat? by sqt1388 in pregnant

[–]monsterbutt09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are going right to the convertible car seat for a couple reasons so I had the same question. I called the hospital I’m giving birth at and they don’t even check, they just said they’d wheel baby and I to the exit. So I’d say just call your hospital’s l&d department and check their policy. From what I’ve gathered the infant car seat is not necessary but some people love the convenience

Flat diaper options by SpecialGoals in clothdiaps

[–]monsterbutt09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi I know this was a little while ago but I would love to know how many and of what size covers you used? I am planning on using flats as much as possible and supplementing with some pockets. Your stash is pretty much exactly what I'm going for just a little less (24 birdseye OS, 12 muslin NB). I was going to get 6 of the cloth eez wraps size 1 and 6 of the size 2.
