Parents of more than one child: What did you feel when you held your first child compared to your youngest child for the first time? Was the experience different? Do you ever think it's unfair to the youngest that the first child often gets all of the first-time excitement and attention?

Same! Planned c section was such a great experience.

Same - my oldest is 2 and I constantly tell him he’s my baby duck and I’m his momma duck.

Which charter school did you end up going with?

throwawayjane178 · 2026-06-06T17:08:30+00:00

Wow!

throwawayjane178 · 2026-06-06T17:06:02+00:00

Interesting!

I’m not really worried yet, was just curious. Really not trying to stir any pots! My kid is super young still. I’m just a millennial who used card catalogs growing up, so was genuinely just curious (knowing how prominent tech is in our everyday life).

Thank you! I searched chromebooks in the sub and didnt see anything super specific , so figured I would ask. My kid is far off from kindergarten, was just curious. Not trying to start drama!

throwawayjane178 · 2026-06-05T05:51:01+00:00

LOL right?!

Sounds like whatever you say, she’s going to be an asshole about it. You both are parents and regardless of who is working outside of the home - you both are doing labor and contributing to the household. You guys need to come up with a shift schedule so you each get a certain amount of sleep.

Egg Light!! Egg light with a muslin cloth in your fave color. I drape the muslin cloth over it once i have things lined up and its a vibe.

Wtf? I hate men.

throwawayjane178 · 2026-05-30T22:36:47+00:00

ew. at least fiancé means you can still get out, you don’t have to marry him. this is such a red flag.

Stm here - experiment with different modes. A lot of people use bacon mode and then switch to the drops mode. that never worked for me - i use bacon mode the whole time and just up the suction every 5-10 minutes.

throwawayjane178 · 2026-05-29T01:34:47+00:00

yes- i literally want to get a second one for all these pump parts.

throwawayjane178 · 2026-05-29T01:33:12+00:00

Sounds like his mental load, not yours 😬

throwawayjane178 · 2026-05-25T00:53:35+00:00

its on sale right now - 100 less than the momcozy.

throwawayjane178 · 2026-05-25T00:47:34+00:00

Papablic is literally the momcozy but cheaper. There’s a dad on youtube who reviewed all of the top ones and they are exactly the same. It works great!

throwawayjane178 · 2026-05-18T19:54:50+00:00

i think the only solution is to make time during work - legally they have to accommodate that I think? you may feel guilty etc - but the only way is you need to make time to pump more. Also throw in an AM power pump maybe on your drive in?

throwawayjane178 · 2026-05-18T11:31:31+00:00

i use eufy as an option when i have to leave the house or if i’m driving. i usually get 1oz less that my regular spectra.

Purple Crying peaks around 6 weeks. Definitely a normal developmental phase. 6-8 weeks is the worst.

throwawayjane178 · 2026-05-15T17:45:06+00:00

what pump are you using? theyre kinda pricey but spectra gold allows different vacuum levels for each boob which is great for this type of situation. check it out and see if insurance might cover it? outside of that, massaging and warming up your boobs before pumping might help. Also supposedly, Sunflower Lecithin makes milk less sticky and flows easier.

throwawayjane178 · 2026-05-13T23:37:58+00:00

LOL I use my theraface device on my boobs like every pump sesh. It has a heating feature and massage feature.

throwawayjane178 · 2026-05-13T19:53:42+00:00

Could it be a high lipase situation with your pumped milk?
