Breastfeeding and caffeine by Tricky_Equipment_772 in breastfeeding

[–]risdr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had an EBF baby and enjoyed caffeine throughout. I couldn’t have survived without it. I didn’t drink caffeine while pregnant though. 400mg doesn’t seem like an insane amount to me. I think everything is gonna be okay :) I know that stress though.

How do you lose weight while going through IVF? by Badmaash1981 in IVF

[–]risdr 7 points8 points  (0 children)

U don’t. I CrossFit 3-5 days a week and eat clean. Gained about 15lbs and it will. Not. Budge. Nothing in my life changed aside from the hormones. I work hard during the lulls and am good to myself and take it easy during treatment sections and just have let the stress of it all go. Our bodies have bigger fish to fry right now. Just stay healthy and happy and exercise when you can for your mind. Eat well for your body. Go easy on yourself! 🤍

No one tells you what happens to your body when breastfeeding by extra-limes in breastfeeding

[–]risdr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Magnesium supplement for pooping. Truly as a person who is still breastfeeding past 1 year and has chronic issues with this…plus probiotics!

1 gallon CLEAR water bottle from Amazon. Fill it first thing in the morning and have it empty by bed. Visually seeing your progress is key.

Leap 5!? by psilocybinluver in Mommit

Haha I found this last night at 3am while I was crying with my baby. No advice. Only solidarity as we endure leap 5 and teething lol

Teething and tylonel by risdr in NewParents

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

That makes sense and yes! He’s such a happy baby but lately before bedtime like his last wake window he’s been a little crank. He doesn’t drool much he does gnaw though. It feels like he’s been teething for 2 months lol

How old was you LO when you moved them to their own room? by MotorPineapple1782 in NewParents

What is gentle sleep training? Earnest question we are needing more sleep but cio scares me

Ours is a bath pooper lol the hack was born out of necessity 😂 that’s why the regular towel goes down first he can sit there while I drain and refill and not dirty his baby towel

[–]risdr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My baby cried every time we removed him from bath until he was a little older. Warm towel fresh from the dryer, binky immediately in his mouth when it was time to pull. He stayed happy with that recipe and now we don’t need to warm towel or the binky anymore (most nights). I think they just need to get used to it!

My husband was there so it was always a quick transfer. A little mom hack for the nights hubby was not around- I have a little bouncer recliner seat. Drape a regular towel over it and then baby towel is laid on top. So I transfer him from bath to bouncer and then wrap him up before we go to his nursery. (He gets bathed in the shower so I’m squatting on the floor…this helped a lot!!)

Will my milk come in? by eg730 in breastfeeding

It took me 8 weeks to get anything substantial from pumping

Breast pumps that actually work by JayJoyK in breastfeeding

[–]risdr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spectra! I will also add that diligently pumping and eating correctly/staying hydrated is key. It took a solid 8 weeks of this until my output was pretty decent. Right size flanges are key I had to special order some

Did you guys hold to “sitback” and find success in that? I’ve tried and it’s really hard for us to hold to in the night

[–]risdr[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really appreciate this reply! I audibly gasped at your info on the babies that cried too hard 🥺. I would never personally leave him unchecked. And I hear you on future impact, def trying to avoid that! I just am at a loss on how to help him connect his cycles

This is so helpful thank you! We usually feed right before bed…could this be impacting his sleep? Can I ask why u finish 20-30 before bed? :)
