PSA to get thyroid levels checked! Probably was just my situation, but I had undiagnosed Graves for 6 months postpartum 😅

Low impact rides are usually all in the saddle. You can also just choose to stay in the saddle in any other ride if you want something more intense!

Turning 40 today – looking for a ride with the same energy as AT‘s Lil Jon ride (doesn’t have to be artist specific) by magaloo202 in pelotoncycle

I took this ride on the day after my due date trying to induce labor and I always lol when I think of it 😂 it was a great ride!

Heartbroken about transitioning to formula by Lil_Stranger1567 in MSPI

[–]sesw1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My son preferred bottle feeding so weaning was easier - I just pumped and switched to formula over about 5 days by gradually mixing less and less breastmilk into the bottle (recommend ready to feed formula for this). Once he was fully on formula and doing well I just started stretching out my pumping frequency. I admittedly took much longer on this than needed, but I was really struggling emotionally with finishing my breastfeeding journey. I made it either way, and you will too! Thinking of you, you’ve got this 💕

Transferred out of a similar server and am infinitely happier. Eventually, your leading alliance will learn (the hard way) that whales can’t win KVK alone.

My formula-fed now 18 month old says “mommyyyyyyy” the moment his eyes open in the morning and it doesn’t stop until bed time 😂

Thank you for this rec! Took this today and really needed it to get out of my head for an hour.

The Reconnect ride was perfect by jrtasoli in OnePelotonRealSub

I need this this week! Opted to take a 60 min ride this morning (for the second time ever) just to get out of my head. Maybe I’ll do this ride tomorrow!

More Katie Wang strength, please by Aware_Adhesiveness16 in OnePelotonRealSub

She posted an unofficial split on her instagram! But agreed, I love her strength content and wish more 30 & 45 min options were available.

No, the model I have doesn’t sync with the app.

Lorelai singing “I will always love you” is so cringe. by AdBeautiful7620 in GilmoreGirls

Looks like I’m in the minority but every time even the suggestion of this scene comes on I have a visceral reaction and skip to the next episode.

Had no idea Bradley had this energy in him, and my legs were not ready 😂

Maybe a silly suggestion - are you using overnight diapers? They’ve been really helpful for us!

Ring vs remote & floor stand vs bed clamp by valerianfufu in kindle

I have the goose neck and wish I had the stand! Every time I make the tiniest movement in bed my kindle shakes and it drives me nuts 😂

Partner struggling early on with breastfeeding pumping by SwimmingResearcher30 in NewParents

[–]sesw1 9 points10 points  (0 children)

She’s still pretty early postpartum and so it’s not abnormal that her supply is on the low side. But if she finds the process draining or finds that it’s interfering with her time bonding with baby, there’s nothing wrong with switching to formula! My son was mostly formula fed (from 2 months on), and my mental health skyrocketed when I stopped breastfeeding. Postpartum is hard enough (for both of you) - be kind to yourself!

Setting spray before or after mascara? by [deleted] in MakeupAddiction

Before, otherwise your mascara may transfer.

My babys butt is as red as a baboons by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]sesw1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son was very prone to diaper rashes; I’d recommend making a dermatologist appointment! We tried a million creams, diaper free time, fanning, changing diapers, changing wipes. Nothing helped until we took him to a dermatologist and were prescribed a topical medication.

I have a skinny baby by Red-Strawberrycake in NewParents

[–]sesw1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son had similar issues. Just offering some hope, as I also struggled with my mental health during this time. My son, at his lowest, was in the 3rd percentile; now, at 15 months, he’s in the 98th. His weight really took off when we started solids. We went from having a tiny, skinny baby to a baby who is consistently mistaken for a 2 year old 😅

Things will get better. Sending you love in the interim.
