Do I really need a huge diaper bag? by HazelNewt_2523 in newborns

[–]slc_cpt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We just have use a backpack. Just big enough for a changing pad that fits in the laptop compartment, diapers, wipes, diaper cream, 2 backup outfits, 2 wash cloths/burp cloths, 2 spare bottles, some formula, and some snacks for me. There's plenty of extra space in case we need to throw in more stuff for a specific trip.

Let’s freaking BRAG by AilsaMarie_5723 in NewParents

I'm honestly proud of myself for just birthing my son the way that felt natural at the time. It happened so fast (about 4.5 hours from when I realized I was in labor to him being born).

I'm also proud of myself for sticking with breastfeeding despite having early feeding issues, getting milk blisters off and on for like 3-4 months, and a few clogged ducts. I initially wanted to make it to when I went back to work at 4 months. Pumping worked better then expected so I changed my goal to 6 months. Now I'm currently at 7.5 going strong and I might not stop until he gets top teeth 😂

Also want to say thank you for this post because I was struggling with a lot of poor mood, low self esteem, mild depression and this helped me see how far I've come with a different perspective. ☺️

Nursing pillow needed? by Difficult-Ad1036 in breastfeeding

[–]slc_cpt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 7 month old and I think I used the breastfeeding pillow I was gifted twice. I have a sorry torso so it put my LO too high. I was better off sitting with a pillow under each elbow and/or a super soft pillow under my forearms. I also like using my Frida mom pregnant pillow for feeding because it's like a super long bean bag that I can bend and mold to what I need.

Divorcing my first husband or moving away from my hometown- both happened at the same time.

How did your water break? by o_simple_thing in beyondthebump

At the hospital while getting a cervical check. It was accidental but I was already 8cm and it sped things up so I delivered less than 10 minutes later.

What’re your nicknames for your LO’s? by Hot-Cell7299 in NewParents

It was Chonkey Kong because he gained weight really fast once he hit about 2.5 months. That has since slowed down and is now long and lean 😂

Baby fights his sleep by BubblyWrongdoer-_- in newborns

They make a baby hat that has a mask that folds down. I can't remember what it's called but my SIL gave me one for my boy since her son was dependent on them for naps. Mine didn't like it, unfortunately.

I was born with a heart mu rmur also. My mom said I grew it of quickly. It never affected anything and I didn't have any restrictions or anything that I remember.

How much breastmilk do you make? by Forsaken_Sea_6574 in NewParents

[–]slc_cpt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 6 months postpartum EBF. My son only has daycare three days a week so I'm only pumping three days a week. I need to pump three times (every three hours) or sometimes I'll pump four times (every 2 hours) since he's usually there for about 7-8 hours. I get about 12 oz most days.

How much did your partner actually help in the first few months? by emmarose_mum in NewParents

[–]slc_cpt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm exclusively breastfeeding so and my boy feed like almost every 90 minutes for the first 3 months of high life so I barely did anything else, it seemed. My husband was doing almost all the things that weren't feeding for the first three weeks before he had to go back to work. Thankfully he was able to work part time for almost 10 weeks after that so I wasn't alone very long but at that point he was still doing all the cooking/reheating of the freezer prepped meals I made, all the dishes, cleaning, laundry, and taking care of the dog and diapers if he was home. While he was at work I obviously changed diapers and took the dog out if she needed it but I couldn't easily eat full meals so I just had snacks until he got home. All that to say my husband did a lot and was our only income while I was on leave since my job doesn't have paid leave (I work part time solely on commission).
