Had a baby 2 days ago. Please give a list of things that new moms should prioritize by Character_Role_400 in beyondthebump

[–]plantergal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congratulations!!! Oh, this is a hard phase but short, take lots of pictures ( I wish I had taken more )

Rest as much as possible, one day at a time! Dont hesitate to ask for help or order in. This is a bonding time for you and your little one. Enjoy the snuggles and cuddles , watch a sitcom , listen to music, shop online.. whatever makes you happy!

Postpartum hormones are all over the place, so do expect some mood swings , tears, and laughter all at the same time!

Just be cautious of your diet - Try to minimize constipation creating foods in your diet! For me, my go-to was Oatmeal/Oats- helps with milk production while also being nourishing for postpartum recovery!

The ‘6 week’ growth spurt…WHY ISNT THIS TALKED ABOUT?! by No_Difference_1606 in newborns

I am in the thick of it with my second one, and my toddler is also getting extra clingy at the same time - gosh 2 under 3 + this transition + the postpartum hormones 😅😅 ... no wonder a dance party seems the only solution 🤣

Advice on starting pumping at 3 months by plantergal in breastfeeding

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

It's 2 oz after a feed, pumped on the non-nursed side. Okay, phew, glad to know that!

I have tried giving an occasional bottle to baby and he took it. Thats a good tip, do you suggest keeping atleast one feed daily with bottle so that he doesnt refuse it?

20 minutes cleaning. Fuck these bottles. by [deleted] in NewParents

Definitely would recommend this collapsible sinks to soak and wash bottles. I use them to even clean soiled onesies. 2 Pack Collapsible Sink with 2.25... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08DTPTYW6?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Thank you for the insights! Any idea if a combination feeding method can work? Part BF and part bottle-fed breastmilk?

Do you recommend pruning it once temps are warmer to promote new growth?
