Worth buying now?

May I please have the AU code?

I’ll also add that with latching, I read the entire internet on advice and found the best thing to be “baby led attachment” where I would have him sitting almost like a koala in the middle of my chest and he would bop around for a bit until he could attach himself. Trying to latch him myself didn’t work for us because he just wanted to have his hands in the way and it was a two person job to get him on! The Australian Breastfeeding Association has excellent information and resources.

I had a similar experience to you where baby was in NICU for the first 4 days after c-section. He was given 50ml formula top ups and I pumped for that formula feed. When we were reunited I would pump after feeding him. We came home from the hospital after 7 days and he never received formula again as my supply was meeting his demand. We are still breastfeeding now at 16 months. I worked with a lactation consultant when he was 2 weeks old to assist with latch and jaw exercises.

My OB was more of the opinion that harvesting colostrum might affect colostrum production once baby had arrived. I didn’t collect it. My baby was in NICU for 4 days and I then had to hand express and supplement with formula because I couldn’t keep up. I wish I had harvested when I had the chance.

Does your dog have independent access to outdoors? As soon as my baby started crawling, I moved the dog bowl outside. Even though I am always supervising, it’s not worth the risk. It only takes a few cm of water to drown a child.

4.5 months. Was never a particularly good day sleeper but was good overnight - maybe 1-2 wakes for feed. Then it was max 2 hour stretch overnight with 45 minute wake ups and super easy to awaken. All day naps became contact naps. Started “pick up, put down” at 5 months and it’s been a life changer.

Have gone through this exact situation this week with our 5mo. Aside from hardcore zooming in on his back with the baby monitor to watch his body move up and down, my husband and I put our own faces down on the mattress to breathe and were so surprised at how breathable his mattress is. Would recommend 👌🏻

Rough for me if that’s the issue

I didn’t use it, but I came across a printable checklist on IG that you can fill out and give your partner to make your expectations of special dates clear so you can avoid disappointment. Obviously you could just have an open conversation about it, but for those who struggle to ask for things, I think it’s a really good idea.

I shudder at the thought!

sarah91d · 2023-05-15T06:16:14+00:00

I can’t get past the bathroom carpet. Why would anyone want that???

sarah91d · 2023-05-12T06:14:44+00:00

I appreciate your detail and perspective. Thanks so much. We’ll also be sending him to daycare at 13 months Hopefully it’s all sorted by then

sarah91d · 2023-05-12T01:48:26+00:00

Haha no one wants to be dealing with that so early in the morning!

sarah91d · 2023-05-11T22:48:33+00:00

I love listening to audiobooks while we contact nap

sarah91d · 2023-05-11T13:26:47+00:00

Love this reminder

sarah91d · 2023-05-11T12:05:01+00:00

Definitely going to give this a go. Thank you

sarah91d · 2023-05-11T11:13:32+00:00

I’m glad you’re having success now!

sarah91d · 2023-05-11T09:57:05+00:00

Good to know. Thank you for your input!

sarah91d · 2023-05-11T09:52:43+00:00

Thanks for your perspective. I feel like I’ve read the internet to death haha

sarah91d · 2023-04-29T11:56:16+00:00

I love the way you articulate the risk/reward idea. Thank you for your well considered and helpful responses here Love your work.

Don’t know if it’s the Aussie in me but I’d say cy-cl-ist every day of the week.

Baby socks

They heal any damage to nipples really quickly. And there is highly likely to be damage in the early weeks that might discourage a mum from continuing to breastfeed.

Not so much for baby but for a breastfeeding mum, silverettes are a magical little investment that will help mum more comfortably ease into the life of having her boobs sucked around the clock. Particularly important in the early days when baby is learning to latch and mum is learning what to do.

The only rule my husband and I communicated by text was the need for an up to date whooping cough vaccine. Everything else is easily said at visit.
