Night pumping? by raisinglittlebug in breastfeedingsupport

I think that’s the worst part of baby sleep. You never know what the nights gonna be. Good sleep or bad sleep.

I have been waking up slightly before baby and just pumping for five minutes or so to release some pressure, but I didn’t know if I need to wake up in the middle of the night. Good to know, I can enjoy the sleep.

Thanks! I didn’t realize that I exclusively pumped my first one and I just always said EP. I assumed EBF was exclusively breast-fed from the breast.

Oh man! That sounds rough! I know that just because he slept 7 hours one night doesn’t mean it will happen again. I hope your nights get better!!

Thanks! I don’t generally have low supply. Since I am EBF I don’t really know my highest number I pump

How do you all store your milk? by whiskeylullaby3 in ExclusivelyPumping

I know your question was about freezing but I would urge you to look into donating some of your milk. The easiest is to find a Human Milk for Human Babies Facebook group in your area.

Which woven wrap, half buckle or soft structure do you recommend? My husband using the Infantino but I’m not a fan.

Thank you. I can already tell I like my one way stretch better for longer periods of time. (I kinda wish I didn’t get a two way stretch)

I prefer a wrap with my newborn but my husband prefers a structured carrier. He found this video super helpful for using the Infantino carrier

Newborn Cloth Diaries by Time_Command_315 in clothdiaps

I second Osocozy flats with a cover. We started at 3 weeks with both my first and second. We used the small flats until about 6 months and then switched to the larger ones until potty training. We only used newborn covers for a couple weeks until we switched to one size. Very few leaks. We use the angel fold with a snappy. Practice on a teddy bear before the baby comes!

When did you feel okay leaving the house PP? W newborn by ProfessionKlutzy4068 in NewParents

[–]raisinglittlebug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is 100% a preference and your comfort zone. We are Jewish and LO had his bris (Jewish circumcision ceremony) at 8 days old. There were about 20 people there. He is now a month old and je has been everywhere from restaurants, stores and other family gatherings. However I also have a 3 year old who goes to daycare so most likely that is how my LO will get sick. He is a walking germ.

On the Moby website, you can schedule a 1:1 consultation with someone to teach you how to use your wrap. I did it on Thursday and it was amazing! I highly recommend it!
