@prodigalredeemed We ended up going with a crib mattress! The twin was both too big/soft for her and too small/firm for me to sleep comfortably with her. I felt so much safer with her on a proper crib mattress, plus it left more space in her room to play. I also got myself one of those trifold...

@hopes746 Hi! Yes, we went to the wedding and the tl;dr is that my worries ended up being overblown; it was tough being away for the first time but ultimately everything worked out! - We went for the bare minimum of two nights; I was really anxious at first but trusted MIL and knew kiddo was in...

This would give us the option to cosleep/nurse to sleep as needed, but the hope is LO will mostly be sleeping...

@enealexandru I have one of the knockoffs, NatureBond, and really like it. I use it during the first couple feedings of the day (diminishing returns after that) on the breast not being nursed and can get an easy 1-2 oz. It's especially helpful when I don't want to fiddle with my electric pump at...
