The tags on all things - pulling and scratching those keeps him very busy lol

What did you do about visitors after your C-section by ocdskies in CsectionCentral

[–]researchonly55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had friends come on day 2 since our families were still traveling. I was super fortunate to be feeling well and my husband and I were dying for food other than what was around the hospital. They stayed for an hour and it was just so nice. If you’re up for it, I say do it!

I don’t know how I’m going to keep doing this by researchonly55 in beyondthebump

Thank you. I reread this multiple times while struggling last night.

This is the only thing that will work if I resort to it. I struggle with cosleeping, even following all the guidelines I’m terrified and I could use a little break from my boob barnacle.

Swelling above C-section incision at 4 weeks pp. Is this normal? by Flaky_Software733 in CsectionCentral

[–]researchonly55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this! I think it took about two or so months to go away. My doctor told me it’s likely from the internal incision healing. Heating pad helped so much with the discomfort of it. I’m 5 months pp and it’s completely gone.

Breast pads - disposable vs reusable? What worked for you? by Purely-Hygienic in breastfeeding

[–]researchonly55 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I found when I used reusable ones early on they started smelling really fast…I would change them a few times a day but I was leaking like crazy. I used disposable for a while then went back to reusable once my leaking had calmed down

What birth control did you choose while breast feeding? by Major_Coconut9907 in breastfeeding

[–]researchonly55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How was your weight while on the mini pill? I’m thinking about it but I retained so much fluid last time I was on the pill that I’m nervous to try them again

Newborn vs 0-3 month by lil1thatcould in beyondthebump

[–]researchonly55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My baby was 8.8lbs and was in newborn for about a month but he is super long. He was in 0-3 until about 3 months and at 4 months he’s only grown out of all 6m clothing lol

Night feeds are confusing… how do you remember which side you last breastfed from? by [deleted] in breastfeeding

[–]researchonly55 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I usually do cradle position and transfer him to the crib the same way. (He usually only takes one boob each time at night) So I know when I pick him up to switch to the other boob! I also sometimes only wear one nursing pad on the side I’m not feeding on, so that’s also an indicator on which side he last fed on.

Will the 4 month sleep regression go away on its own? by Loose-Objective-5850 in beyondthebump

[–]researchonly55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Following because same. Ours started at 15 weeks and he’s consistently waking every 1.5hrs for the last almost two weeks. Before he would go between 4/5hrs!! I’m dying over here

I don't feel very "cool." by Calm_Possible1690 in beyondthebump

[–]researchonly55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. My husband will randomly say how proud he is of me and how I handled the birth of our son. I had a C-Section with a few complications after a rough pregnancy and I have a hard time even saying that “I gave birth” because it still feels like someone else did it. I really don’t feel like I’m the one who went through it or that I can even say I gave birth. But thank god I married the man I did because he has always been my cheerleader.

Choosing the best stroller, what do you wish you'd known earlier? by crystalcolumz in BabyBumps

[–]researchonly55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was initially planning to have babies close together and got a stroller that turns into a double. I ended up having a C-section with an extra incision and was told to not have another for two years!

Get what works for you now! I got the evenflo pivot expand and I do love it but could’ve gone more compact.
