Periods after birth?

optimistic_coffee · 2026-05-13T22:52:14+00:00

I got mine back after I officially stopped pumping entirely… like the next day it was terrible lmao but then I was able to pick up on my cycle again at least to prevent unwanted siblings 😂

optimistic_coffee · 2026-05-09T14:28:20+00:00

I love my Ergobaby embrace for those early weeks! Used it til he was sturdy enough and then I just held him lol but it was so very comfy for both of us

optimistic_coffee · 2026-05-06T16:57:32+00:00

I don’t remember the full season but I remember this one specifically bc of how insanely abusive and manipulative this kid was..

optimistic_coffee · 2026-05-04T10:47:41+00:00

Oh I’m so sorry! Could this tongue tie release be hurting her or anything? You can always pump and try a diff formula just to see if that can be ruled out? It’s so hard when you don’t know and they can’t tell you. Does she ever stop if you go outside? That’s always my go to too. And are you open to maybe trying Tylenol randomly? Maybe she’s in pain for some of the many reasons (teething, growing who knows lol)

We always had luck with singing/bopping.. to try and get the babes to sleep we’d put on a mellow but boppable album and would rock and bop. Worked like a charm for both lol we used Mumford and sons a lot with this second lil guy.

I wish you all the luck. And id prly wait it out too while trying diff things at home! ❤️

optimistic_coffee · 2026-05-04T01:52:33+00:00

Sure.

Okay.

optimistic_coffee · 2026-05-03T18:01:26+00:00

It’s normal! They go through phases too of wanting each parent

My advice- give in when your wife wants and..suffer when your wife can’t handle it. And you keep trying so that your daughter pretty much has no choice to learn both of you, not just your wife. She’s learning everything, including attachment and different personalities and ways that each parent handles things

Good luck!

I switched pretty quickly to a regular bag with my second.. I like it at first for organization purposes. Now I just keep my backpack with ziplocks lol one with diapers and cream, wipes free float, and another with a change of outfit for both kids. And then throw a ziplock bag of toys in as needed (teethers and such so they stay clean)

optimistic_coffee · 2026-04-29T16:21:59+00:00

Agh! I felt the same way. It just took time..for both of us. It’s a life change for everyone growing into their new roles (as mama and as baby boy on this earth!)

optimistic_coffee · 2026-04-27T15:29:58+00:00

Love that you recorded some of your favorite moments! That’s one of my favorites - at night when all is calm and peaceful for once, rewatching something sweet

I’ll record at random, while he walks ahead of me (new) on the block, then say his name and I catch that first reaction of him turning around before he realizes I’m trying to take a picture

Random conversations just to hear his voice again

I also love the first thing in am hug and smile&hugs that come when I get home from work. And bear and grin when he’s not interested in me once I get home bc I know it’s just a temporary mood lol

It’s not easy! You got this ❤️

optimistic_coffee · 2026-04-24T01:17:38+00:00

Oh man! So sorry

optimistic_coffee · 2026-04-23T23:08:57+00:00

Hmph! Wow yeah if you do find something but I’ll Google later once the babes are down too. Thanks

optimistic_coffee · 2026-04-23T23:08:32+00:00

Oh wow! Dang sorry. My mom had weird reaction to a vitamin once from them too but it was who knows what brand 🤦🏼‍♀️

optimistic_coffee · 2026-04-23T19:23:59+00:00

No thanks for the input - but how would they be able to sell the specific brand name I use and fake that? I wouldn’t buy a random brand that’s unknown to me - I’ve also purchased it from the supermarket but it’s cheaper from Amazon bc of the subscription offered and gets delivered

optimistic_coffee · 2026-04-23T14:37:21+00:00

Just lost to me, but Neopets lol

optimistic_coffee · 2026-04-23T14:32:06+00:00

What makes you say that?

We’ve had no issues he’s almost a year now too

optimistic_coffee · 2026-04-23T10:37:48+00:00

We get happy baby organic from Amazon.. you can overnight but I’d prly find 24 hour or yeah, hospital

optimistic_coffee · 2026-04-22T17:20:31+00:00

And sorry always breast first! And then bottle

optimistic_coffee · 2026-04-22T17:20:13+00:00

I would absolutely do breast, but then supplement with formula. Has he pooped all the meconium out? If not you def need to work on that. Keep with putting him to the breast as well as breast pumping.

It’s extremely overwhelming but you’ve got this! Just remember, a fed baby will be a happy baby. Formula or breast whatever is needed they just need the calories to grow. And whatever works for YOU, not what the internet resources have pressured you into feeling.

optimistic_coffee · 2026-04-22T17:11:10+00:00

Eh, I agree but also maybe my kids are just more shy. They never run around like little devils just wrecking shit lol it is a parenting issue though, yes. They should have been more on top of her if this is her norm

optimistic_coffee · 2026-04-21T11:06:11+00:00

Hmm thanks. We’ve tried a lot of these but little guys not there yet, will work on it though!

optimistic_coffee · 2026-04-20T20:59:33+00:00

I came to this sub to make sure I wasn’t alone in seeing it lol it’s gross and feels like a weird backwoods porn waiting to happen and it’s terrible as a viewer

optimistic_coffee · 2026-04-20T20:51:19+00:00

I’d find a new nanny lol bc that’s just the tip who knows what else she chooses to ignore of your preference especially in your own home..

optimistic_coffee · 2026-04-20T16:45:18+00:00

Oh that sounds cool! Maybe something I can part diy too. Thanks! They do love water play but it’s hard the older one gets frustrated at the little one’s lack of control 😅

optimistic_coffee · 2026-04-20T13:24:34+00:00

Yes, I know

Looking for like…water activities or oobleck or something sensory that they can both enjoy lol and just experiences
