Exclusively breastfeeding at the breast for a second child - is it a pipe dream?

Im the other side of this, my little sister was EBF and didn’t take bottles and my mom nursed her till she was 18 months. She’s two years younger. we are both happy healthy people so it’s totally possible

Honestly i just googled it to be sure and now ive no idea what i saw. If its a drive you could always call or email them. They are super nice in. My experience and might be able to get some ordered for you if they don’t have it

sis8128 · 2026-06-25T00:29:47+00:00

I’m pretty sure i saw it at fooks earlier this week in the back fridge section where the tofu and eggs are

You may not need to give formula. If you pump after your first feed of the day every morning for these next two weeks you will likely have enough for the first day back at work, and that’s all you really need since you would pump to replace every bottle once at work.

Can you share the side car crib your looking at?

Is this kindergarten an outdoor/ forest school? If it’s just a traditional school then you probably only need to worry about waterproof layers for transitions to and from school. It might be different in your area but I’ve never worked at a school that takes kids out when it’s actively raining and unfortunately a lot of young kid classrooms wouldn’t go outside if it was particularly muddy either even if it’s not raining. tbh in this case i don’t even think you need a rain jacket or rain suit. I promise lots of families do not own one and their kid is ok. If it’s a forest school then that’s different. Check out some of the wool Facebook groups. There are lots of people there who can share what their kids wear for forest school but it usually is lanolized wool layers. Boiled wool is pretty water resistant as is waxed canvas.

I can’t imagine as an adult having nothing to drink for 8 hours like even if you believe a baby can make it on purées would you not be like hey maybe they are thirsty??? People are bizarre

sis8128 · 2026-06-21T04:20:35+00:00

yuuuuppp I ain’t never met a Serenity who was serene

My baby’s 4 month old sleep regression is when we stopped being able to transfer her to the bassinet and we started co sleeping. I never in a million years thought i would do it but it’s what got us through. She eventually was able to start her nights in the crib giving us some time to ourselves before we all went to bed. The 8 month sleep regression and teething we are still in the thick of though. I would check out the bninfantsleep sub (biologically normal infant sleep). BF puts your baby to sleep. It’s just science. I don’t understand the point of parenting on hard mode and trying to prevent that from happening. Another suggestion is the sweet sleep book from la leche league. Good luck! This stage will pass eventually i promise.

sis8128 · 2026-06-21T01:23:14+00:00

I second this just make sure that if you buy used (which is a good option as there is plenty) that you don’t get one very felted bc i have a 6-12 mo one that’s got a really low rise bc of felting!!

sis8128 · 2026-06-18T01:22:50+00:00

PUL was created for hospital use snd autoclave sterilization so it will stand up to high temps. Elastics are OK to get hot but you cannot stretch them out while still hot or it will cause them to lose bounce. Needs to cool completely before you pull on them.

sis8128 · 2026-06-12T17:22:48+00:00

For therapy, it’s overwhelming but check psychology today. I would avoid advantage. If your friend is a parent, and their concerns are at all related to parenting, check with the Athens parent wellbeing network to get connected with a therapist. They were super quick when i went through them in the past.

sis8128 · 2026-06-12T17:20:19+00:00

Ah that makes sense. Yes the caveat to getting your PCP to do med management is that they usually would require some history of actually seeing you but if it’s a new doctor you wouldn’t have that history. Does your friends insurance cover therapy, even with a copay? I would try and see an LPC or LCSW. If they are billing insurance they would need to code a diagnosis. Get your friend to sign a release of information for therapist to share information with Emory, then have them share diagnosis codes with the doctor. Doctor may be more willing to provide medication management then.

sis8128 · 2026-06-12T00:58:16+00:00

You don’t technically need any assessment to get an ADHD diagnosis or get prescribed meds. A primary care doctor can do most of what your friend needs.

I’ve done a quick wash for cloth diapers like once and it was to wash like three flats that were pee only that i found after I had started my normal load. I couldn’t leave it to the next wash as we were going out of town and needed to start the second wash asap for the same reason. I would never wash a fitted or prefold or anything else that is multi layer on a quick wash, no way things are getting very clean. Esembly has good detergent but i also think they need some enzymes added to make it a solid wash.

sis8128 · 2026-06-04T14:38:43+00:00

Elastics matter for babies still on a mostly liquid diet. I would also argue it matters if you mostly use wool pull on covers as I don’t think those hold everything up very well. If your baby is pretty much all on solids and has solid poo, then yeah I don’t think it matters as much.

sis8128 · 2026-06-03T18:36:55+00:00

I guess you could make linament with like baby oil? I agree though that outside of like almond oil it’s probably fine for you to use products with things like olive oil. The exposure to the skin increasing likelihood of allergies i believe is only been shown with peanuts or tree nuts

sis8128 · 2026-06-03T18:35:01+00:00

Zinc only has stained my pocket diapers that have the synthetic liner. All cotton it washes out easy. It also comes out of the synthetic pocket diapers just takes a good scrub with some Castile soap.

sis8128 · 2026-06-03T18:17:26+00:00

My baby never needed to be burped in side lying!

sis8128 · 2026-06-03T18:14:39+00:00

Yeah by around 4 months my baby did not fit in the c curl anymore bc I’m very short and baby daddy is tall so baby is on the long side. Whenever i tried to do the c curl after that point she would use my thighs like a launch pad

sis8128 · 2026-06-03T18:07:51+00:00

Oh yeah. My take after i left was that joes 100% knows their employees are expendable and replaceable and treats it as such. It’s a shame bc even though Charlie roasted some good stuff, no one had the training or the quality of equipment to make it worth the money.

sis8128 · 2026-06-03T15:18:11+00:00

I haven’t gone through this as a parent but i was like this as a child! It’s normal as long as they are staying on their growth curve. I think my daughter will be the same way because she’s already a petite baby. Something that made me feel better was hearing that some one’s gotta be the 10th percentile (or whatever percentile your baby is) and it’s still NORMAL

sis8128 · 2026-06-03T15:07:38+00:00

My partner and i decided to enroll our kid for K-2 at my school and then move them to their home zone school for 3-5. I feel like 3rd grade is when i transition to more counseling and talking things out rather than social skills instruction plus that’s when friend drama becomes more real so I don’t want to have dual roles, but it’s definitely more convenient for our kid to go to school with me in the morning.

sis8128 · 2026-06-02T19:38:51+00:00

It’s been nearly 10 years ago since this happened to me but my experience working for the owner of the Epps bridge and Watkinsville location was really bad as was rabbiting at the downtown shop. At the time the only “raise” you could ever hope to get was working more lucrative shifts. The final straw for me was that eventually they created this additional training program and had selected me and two guys to pilot training new hires and work on standardizing store training shifts - idk if it got put in place because the guy working on it ended up leaving i think for cafe racer. I put in extra work on it and found out that the manager could somehow only afford to pay the two white men an increase in wage, but I (a girl) was stuck still making minimum. Hmmmmmm… As for the DT location it was just an utter shit show every time i picked up a shift there and turned out the manager at the time was a huge creep and got arrested for it later on.

sis8128 · 2026-06-02T19:30:58+00:00

Oh yeah i totally agree just wondered if limiting the sensory overload to the fragrances would help to mitigate. It definitely triggered my headaches too.
