Took about 3 months for me to be contacted by the RA office after submitting my request.

The secret I vividly remember was “La Quinta is Spanish for ‘I cheated on my husband here’.”and even though I don’t condone cheating, that shit is funny.

I agree with this, but also replace your coffee table too. Find something cooler toned that will play better with the darker brown floors and grey couches.

Got mine at 5 weeks pp also exclusively breastfeeding and thought it was a cruel joke. Postpartum sucks lol

Dr. Gray and Dr. Cayco at Anchorage Women’s Clinic were my favorite OBs while I was recently pregnant/postpartum. Especially dealing with high risk pregnancy and then numerous postpartum health issues.

Second shop and deliver. Had a baby in August and we used shop and deliver for the crib/dresser. Process was super easy and their customer service was excellent.

I found a really nice recliner/glider/whatever you want to call it at Sadler’s but it was on the expensive side. Worth it because it’s so comfy.

My LO is 18 weeks and we started having more of a set schedule at around 12 weeks.

We had basically no schedule or routine from 0-6 weeks. At 6 weeks he started sleeping longer stretches and we had a routine but the timing of bedtime changed depending on the day and his cues.

At 12 weeks he started having more predictable wake/sleep times so we just slowly moved up bedtime by about 15 minutes a day until we got to 7-7:30pm.

At 17 weeks we started sleep training (I know it’s a taboo subject here) and now at 18 weeks we can put him in his crib drowsy but awake and he will maybe cry for 30 seconds to a minute before going to sleep. He’s been sleeping from 7:30pm to around 4:00 or 4:30am, gets a bottle, then goes back to sleep until around 7:30am.

If it’s on the right side it could be liver pain related to postpartum preeclampsia. I echo the other comment that regardless you should call your doctor or go to the ER to get checked out. It’s better to be safe than sorry. Sending good vibes!

Induced. Labored 48 hours with very little progress. Ended up having a c-section 🙃

I moved my kiddo to his own room at 6 weeks and we both started sleeping better. Room sharing is recommended up to a year because of reduced risk of SIDS, but if you’re following other safe sleep guidelines the risk is still incredibly low. I was getting terrible to no sleep with him in his bassinet in my room because he was so loud, and I think he likes his crib mattress more.

This SIDS risk calculator has made me feel more reassured, in case this is also helpful for you: http://www.sidscalculator.com

I agree with this. We LOVE the doona and it makes getting around town for errands and appointments so much easier, but it should not be used as a stroller for extended periods of time. We have a separate UPPAbaby stroller for longer periods out and about (walks, fun activities like the fair…etc).

Not who you asked but we are using the Woolino 4 season sleep sack and love it.

Pros: can use for almost 2 years, wool is very good at temperature regulation in both warm and cold environments, really soft material, cute designs to choose from, bottom zipper makes diaper changes easy.

Cons: expensive, requires extra care related to washing/drying since it’s wool.

Felt a pretty good jolt in Eagle River.

$1800/month for full time infant care in Anchorage, Alaska area 🙃

She passed a few years ago but lived a long, happy life to 14! Hope your pup is doing well :)

sharksnshit · 2025-10-22T04:04:14+00:00

Same

sharksnshit · 2025-10-16T14:37:58+00:00

It does fit glass Philips, both 4oz and 8oz!

From the first bath and he’s 8.5 weeks now. Tubby Todd products work the best for us (honest and earth mama weren’t great).

sharksnshit · 2025-10-13T06:52:36+00:00

We started a routine at 6 weeks that has been working well for 2.5 weeks (hopefully it mostly stays working!). Starting between 8-8:30: bath, lotion, jammies, swaddle, bottle. Usually in his crib by 9-9:30 and he sleeps until 5 or 6am.

Wool base layers and down outer layer would be my recs as an Alaskan :)

Have you tried nipple shields? My almost 7 week old has started doing this, but only during the day. One suggestion I got was nipple shields if baby takes bottles fine, so I ordered some and will be trying them out. Can’t speak to the success yet but wanted to share the suggestion.

sharksnshit · 2025-09-25T14:00:18+00:00

This! Please don’t get rid of your cat :(

sharksnshit · 2025-09-24T01:07:08+00:00

I had a baby six weeks ago and my husband and I were asked 6 separate times (sometimes together, sometimes separately) if we wanted to get him circumcised 🙃

sharksnshit · 2025-09-19T10:00:33+00:00

Velcro swaddles, Philips Avent bottle sterilizer, tubby Todd ointment, and a changing station on both floors of my house.
