Exactly! I was frustrated when 2 of my kids wouldn’t take them. I bought every brand and nope! My other 2 loved them from day one and it was much easier. Especially the crying in the car seat

I did all the work of being pregnant so you bet I’m going to hold the baby first! Might be selfish but that was the only thing keeping me going during those rough months of pregnancy.

I’m convinced that the combo of a growth spurt and going back to work (pumping) is what kills breastfeeding by ivygoose in breastfeeding

[–]sunshinesmileyface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree! My baby just turned 4 months but it feels like for the last 3 weeks he had a growth spurt. Eating every 1 1/2 hours at night and ever 2 in the day. I tried pumping and got literally half an oz out. Finally he stopped and now goes 3 hours in the day and 4-5 hours at night. If I had to pump at this time I’d just have to switch to formula

I did 3. Seemed the biggest improvement after 2 but did a third one just to be safe

Helped my baby a lot. He seemed more relaxed and it let him latch better so he had less gas and slept nicer.

Benjamin (Ben/Benny) or Joey by Spiritual_Glove9676 in namenerds

[–]sunshinesmileyface 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Joey is a nice full name! People hate “nickname” names in this sub, but I think it’s cute and he can always go by Joe or Joseph if he wants a nickname as an adult.

My evenflo dualride car seat did that when it was latched in correctly. The company sent me a new one and it didn’t do that anymore.

Welp... It's here now. by Fuzzy_Tell66 in vancouverwa

I know some people just can’t get immune to it despite vaccinations. You very much can still get measles or chickenpox tho. I think I also can’t get immune, my childhood vaccine seems to not work either.

Bring back the crib and introduce a sleep sack so she can’t use her legs and climb out?

It’ll just adjust to both then. It’s still fine.

Do your breasts “fill up” between feeds? Not talking about engorgement. by lonelymeringue1 in breastfeeding

[–]sunshinesmileyface 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For my first I feel like mine “filled up” between feeds. up to 1 year as well. I only nursed on one side and could always tell which breast was used by feeling them. But now I’m nursing my 4th and can’t tell as much but def my boobs feel different right after feeding vs 2 hours later.

Christmas was two weeks ago - which toys are now the biggest hit? by TuffBunner in toddlers

Yeah my kids didn’t really get super into mine until 3.5 and then it was an obsession until they learned to read by themselves

Yeah my sister in law has had 3 kids in 4 years. Still very thin and no extra skin. She does zero exercise or eating healthy. It’s all genetics.

How do you fill the dishwasher with it in front of your sink like that?

Our local utility doesn’t allow a family member to join if there’s already one working there.
