CAB SAUV GIRL HERE!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE a bold crisp red and I haven't had a sip for almost 9 months

I'm not a huge drinker. One 8 oz glass does the trick for me lol, but I may indulge daily.

I plan to breastfeed my newborn (due March 9th).

Wine moms, how long after giving birth did you wait to consume your first glass? And what does/did your pumping routine look like to be able to balance breastfeeding and possibly pumping/dumping for indulgent purposes?

I don’t pump and dump. I drink once a week (maybe) but I was told if you can see and find your baby it’s fine.

I waited til the desire struck. I had a helluva birth, week long ordeal, and has hyperemesis the whole pregnancy, so it was about 6 weeks before I wanted a glass. Was lovely when I did! Kiddos nearing two, and I’d say I’m solidly back to my normal self and about like you with wine preferences :) I never pump n dump. The body filters it very well. The amount reaching the baby is very minimal, much less than what is in their approved medications for example. One note, if drinking — do not cosleep til sober. ❤️ Cheers Mama!

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.
