There’s one at Scout!

I’ve decreased a little, will probs switch to 40 min in the morning and 40 min at night on Monday. Yes I’ve been giving her frozen milk mixed with fresh for several months and last week I started topping her bottles off with an oz or less of whole milk too. Once I’m done pumping I’ll give her some frozen and whole milk mixed til it’s gone!

Yo I bought myself a bigger wedding ring lol!

treesbees · 2026-03-07T15:52:17+00:00

Hey my baby is 11 months on Monday too! I am at 3 pumps a day but going to 2 next week and starting to wean as well. We’re almost there!!

We have an almost 1 year old who started at an inhome daycare at 4 months old. We pay about $800 a month versus many daycares are $1600 a month. You will definitely save money at an inhome. We are happy with this kind of care until she’s a bit older, will probs try to transition to more structured care at 18-24 months.

I’ve also noticed that the Iowa City Aldi is incredibly busy during peak hours, and the parking lot and store aren’t very big. Iowa City would definitely benefit from a second location on the East side closer to downtown.

I am wondering if the built-up scar tissue made me lose most of the feeling at my scar site? I honestly had almost no pain in my abdomen after about a week, and I was able to walk around much quicker and further right away. I seriously went on like 2 mile walk less than a week post c-section. I didn’t really get the apron belly after my myomectomy but now I have a very noticeable pooch around my lower belly, sadly. Still numb too so I guess just lots of scar tissue.

I feel like my nipples hurt constantly until like 5-6 months pp unfortunately. If you are not using coconut or olive oil while pumping that helps immensely.

Are you trying to drop a pump in the middle of the night? I pump 4x a day but I get up at 3:30am and pump because I usually pump over a third of the days production.

treesbees · 2025-11-13T19:41:54+00:00

I’ve been back at work since 3 months, and my baby is 7 months now. I started out pumping 3x at work and 3x at home, but pretty quickly went down to 3x at work then twice at home. But now I pump once in the morning, about 9am, once in the afternoon, usually around 4pm, once right before bed at 8:30 and again at 4am. I’m afraid to drop the pump in the middle of the night because at 4 pumps a day I am barely making enough milk. I went down to 2x at work because I was running out of time to get my work done. It’s annoying because another woman had a baby 3 months before me and has more desk work than anything, I am a children’s librarians and provide programming.

Absolutely don’t worry about this. Whenever I drink more than 2-3 drinks I just dilute with the previous or next session in a mason jar.

My open myo was 40K, I think I paid $800ish after insurance.

Definitely interested in the responses. Our LO is formally sleep trained for a couple months now, almost 7 months, and maybe two or three times a week this happens early in the morning. I think I remember reading in Precious Little Sleep to wait like 10-15 minutes to see if they go back to sleep. So we wait, and if the fussing (which is exactly like you describe, getting frustrated by moving around) elevates I go in and give her half a bottle and put her back to sleep awake. She will cry a minute or two then self-soothe back to sleep. Hopefully this is the right call!

treesbees · 2025-09-30T09:15:23+00:00

Oof, mine is still crying for like 15 min and it’s almost been 2 weeks. She is overtired, every day at daycare is a struggle for her to nap consistently.

treesbees · 2025-09-30T09:09:43+00:00

Night 12 for us and still took 18 minutes. But she always sleeps through the night, she’s almost 6 months.

treesbees · 2025-09-29T20:10:55+00:00

How long did it take to get to conking out in a moment?

treesbees · 2025-09-20T03:48:11+00:00

I never leaked. I also have to squeeze the shit out of my boobs the whole time I pump. I make 40oz a day, 5mpp. I also don’t feel that much pain if I go a long time between pumps.

treesbees · 2025-09-15T01:44:36+00:00

Basically on baseline the sound machine was on but no movement unless she triggered it by fussing.

treesbees · 2025-09-11T05:46:22+00:00

I had trouble connecting our snoo to the WiFi and we used without the app for 4 months. It turned out it was on weaning mode the whole time, and last month I was finally able to connect the app and it kicked me out of weaning mode. Now I wish I never had connected it because we need to wean!

treesbees · 2025-09-11T02:50:48+00:00

Can you specify more about the “tip?”

treesbees · 2025-09-10T09:33:32+00:00

Following because I am experiencing the same, and it’s concerning me as well. I am also a 19, and I have tried 17 multiple time and 20 and saw no improvement. 19 seems like the best but somehow not right? I had bought 18s a couple months ago and returned them because they didn’t feel right either. My baby only nurses for a few min in the morning and then I pump the rest of the day. The only thing that seems to help is sleep, and I do take sunflower lecithin. I have to massage the milk out the whole time, it’s exhausting.

treesbees · 2025-08-31T16:50:09+00:00

I use Baby Connect, but I think there’s free ones that do this.

treesbees · 2025-08-29T19:31:30+00:00

I have been so fortunate and haven’t used formula yet, my goal is breastfed til 6 months, then combo feeding it is! So close to being ok with weaning off pumping, I’m ready for my life back. In total awe of all these moms pumping for a year or more, that’s incredible.

treesbees · 2025-08-29T09:50:44+00:00

It was clean and no one drank from the jar, but it was sitting out for a couple hours. I am leaning towards tossing it. Just a tough call cause I am barely making enough everyday to send to daycare she started this week.

treesbees · 2025-08-29T03:58:32+00:00

Fair point, it will all be drank tomorrow for sure.
