@kenya38 Not OP and I only wish I’d heard/thought of this suggestion at the start of my journey! I’d recommend going to the website for Put A Cup In It and taking the fit quiz. That will help you get one that seals well for your particular shape

@jesmo You’re welcome! Good luck!

@jesmo We used Dr. Brown’s premie nipples (P), which is what the lactation consultant recommended. Then the T/transition nipples, then level 1. I only found out the T nipples existed thanks to Reddit. Once we switched to level 1, our baby had absolutely zero interest in attempting to latch to...

@behindcrossroads Non-Invasive Prenatal Test, also known as Cell Free DNA. It’s a blood draw from mom when the fetus is 10-12 weeks. Fetal DNA can be pulled out of mom’s blood and checked for chromosomal abnormalities. It’s a screening test rather than diagnostic like amniocentesis, but it is...

@dawnbirduk I had a c section at 38w, 5days at 41 years old. First/only pregnancy. My milk “came in” at 5 days. However, we ultimately did exclusively formula feeding because my supply maxed out at 4.5 ounces a day at 3 weeks. Your wife will probably have better luck than I did since she’s...

@powerlovesoundmind We were both over 40 at conception and did the NIPT. We were able to do it through Labcorp for $299 and it was worth it for us for the peace of mind

@christians I am so excited for your breast reduction! Mine was life changing.

I still can’t stand the taste of artificial orange due to all of those nasty chewable Dramamine tablets. Gross)

@pulickalbrothers I’m an adult who has had motion sickness my whole life. (Baby is still in the incubator, but gets very active when I am in the car, so worried she got that gene 😭) Anyhow - have you tried seabands? They are pretty contingent upon being placed correctly (2-3 finger widths...

@truebornagain I’d get the first dose now and plan to get XBB dose as the second dose when it’s available. Assuming CDC opts to continue the same 4-8 week schedule for the second dose, you’re looking at October to get the second dose regardless. Alternatively, Baby is completely unprotected...

@fmc4auburn Yeah, my partner is fence sitting. If he brings up the topic of Number 2 seriously, I’m going to ask him to do 75% of the childcare for our first for 2 months before we have a serious discussion about it.

@garry25 When we found out we were having a girl, I started crying and said, “omg she gets to have a good dad” Baby girl is 9 weeks old now and she does have a good dad! 😊
