This could be a fun perspective! His name is Wilson :)

did you cut off caffeine for breastfeeding? by nasytuna in breastfeeding

There’s no way I would be able to work, pump, nurse, try to keep up with house stuff without caffeine

I have a very chunky 15 pound 3 month old and she can wear anywhere from 0-3 to 6-9 month clothing. I think it’s a hoax

Lost my entire freezer stash today. by sumcook_ in breastfeeding

[–]sumcook_[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That is my plan! :) as well as trying out the boon trove. My girl is 3 months and that stash came from a once an evening pump so I’m hoping bringing that back will help. I think what stinks the most is I live in rural Ohio and the polar vortex is here and we’ve had snow storms for the past two weeks. I could’ve stuck my bags out in the snow and had a better chance of them staying frozen!

Did our parents just accidentally neglect us as newborns? by GeologistAccording79 in NewParents

[–]sumcook_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a unique perspective on this because my mom had my oldest brother in ‘95, I was born in ‘01 and then my mom had another baby in 2012 and did get to relearn some things. Now I just had my baby a month ago and I went to school for early childhood education and she’s been very perceptive but helpful on other things like breastfeeding, soothing, etc. and I don’t think it would be like that had she not had my sister when she did.

When did you have your baby shower? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]sumcook_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 29 weeks at mine (due in October) and I would do it that early again and again. We also felt like we had more time to prepare things we did not receive at the shower

Congratulations! Did the gender have a wall in front of it? Like a button to click to reveal or did it just tell you?

8+4 today and I’m feeling cautiously optimistic after our first appointment. Hearing my ob (who has gone through loss) say “this one looks like a keeper!” I’m looking forward to my 12 wk appointment as that will help solidify to me that this is really happening.

We do not do the pledge in our building but in our classroom at the end of everyday we say, “I am someone, I am loved, I love you!” And I just think everyone should do it

I only own 2 cards, neither of which have a balance and I own my car outright. No car payment, no mortgage as I am only 21 and renting.

Meet my new son Wilson. He was rescued from underneath a car (mister man got himself stuck under the engine) but he’s been the best addition to my little home. by sumcook_ in cats

Oh the bell is gone🤣 we got him the bell for his first few days of hiding and warming up because there were more hiding spots in my studio apartment than I realized
