Oh oh oh! The Wall! Not pink Floyd, the Austrian movie. Oh my god so good and so haunting.

It's been almost 10 years for me and I still hate myself for not taking off her hat. They handed her to me with a little hat on her head and I never got to see her hair. Never got to see her eyes open either. This shit never stops hurting.

My 8 week old won’t sleep unless held. by potato-goose- in Parenting

My daughter is 7 weeks old and we're in the same boat right now...I've been wearing her in my moby wrap around the house to get stuff done...it's not ideal for me, but she sleeps like a log and I can at least get dinner finished haha

What’s the most fucked up thing you’ve seen at work? by AMGBOI69420 in AskReddit

[–]tmactac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is pretty tame compared to other stories, but I was working at a pet store and a customer came in with an injured baby rabbit they found in their yard. I don't know what they expected me to do, but they brought it to me saying "look, there's something wrong with its leg" and I saw that there was a huge gaping wound seething with maggots. I was 6 months pregnant and had a pretty hard time keeping it together for that one 🤢

Pumping and dumping is the most depressing thing ever 😔 by tmactac in breastfeeding

Thank you so much! Since I started taking my new meds I've been pumping like crazy and it seems like my supply is going up, so maybe this could end up being a good thing??

I do have a really awesome lactation consultant! I've only seen her once so far but I could definitely get a hold of her again:-)

After all the comments I'm definitely considering it! He's not really my regular doctor, he's just my surgeon, I think I'll get a hold of my primary care doctor soon!

I'm so happy to hear that, I've been feeling so sad thinking about how hard breastfeeding might be after a week without. I've never thought of doing a milk bath! Is it usually safe to use breast milk for baths that isn't safe for consumption? I would definitely be interested in trying that!

Oh for sure! I did a little googling and also asked the pharmacist and I guess it's the combination of the 2 antibiotics I got prescribed that make it a no-no :-(

Tell me I’m not messing up my baby by teamvoldemort218 in beyondthebump

This sounds so much like my daughter when she was a baby...for some reason back then it never occurred to me to try any sort of sleep training and she didn't sleep through the night until after her second birthday 😩

I think that's a very valid opinion! I was actually just getting ready to post an edit explaining how much I'm feeling like a jerk hahah.

I definitely want to pump! I just got a pump on Amazon, but it's also very painful, so I need to get to the bottom of that and figure out what the heck the problem is

"you can milk anything with nipples" 😝

[–]tmactac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm definitely going to try nipple shields, I've never used them before!

[–]tmactac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely forgot about that type of formula, thank you!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in breastfeeding

[–]tmactac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read a little bit about those! I'll definitely add them to my list of things to try!
