1. dishwasher Edit: we hand washed and used a microwave sterile bag at the beginning when the amount of bottles was excessive. 2. Arm&Hammer diaper pail

1. a bottle brush and some dawn, cycle through the dishwasher on weekends.
2. Diaper genie, it was gifted to us, I wouldn't have bought it due to the cost! I make my own inserts.
Adding my own - How many times of offering more chunky food did it take before your kid does not gag anymore? It is necessary to start moving towards real (non-pureed) foods, but painful to watch (and he does not eat anything).

1. Hot soapy sink water 2. n/a use disposables ETA: Duh, we use a diaper genie
Mine: Does your kid wear a coat in their infant seat or do you just cover with blankets? Assume this is in a pre-heated car
What do you do when your iphone gets too full of photos? I am uploading them to our laptop right now and then plan on deleting most (keeping favs). Is that a bad idea? Is there something else I can or should do?
How frequently do you pump overnight if your kid STTN? I am thinking I need to try letting her sleep longer. I've been letting her go 6-7 hours max without pumping, and getting that uninterrupted sleep is heaven!!!!
I didn't wake her, I would just get up at like 6am b/c I couldn't take the pain and pump. She would usually wake around 7.
Do you really keep feeding until they're full? I swear my kid has 2 hollow legs. She gobbles up everything, fruit, veggies, cheese, meat, she doesn't even have a preference.
I wash bottles in the sink with Dawn and a bottle brush or put them through a dishwasher. We just use a plastic bag for diapers and take it out to the big trash when it's full or smells.
I never pumped when she was sleeping. I just fed her when she woke up.
No coats in the car seat, I just put a blanket over her.
My question: at what age or stage can I give her puffs or mum mums or whatever?

I gave him both at 7 months, he eats the mum mums (still refining his pincer grasp) and plays with the puffs. Some puffs make it to his mouth, then he gags (see my question above) so hes really not eating them.

No coat. Just regular clothes then blanket then shower cap type cover thingy.

DS wears a one of those one piece snowsuit type things - it's thin enough that I don't worry. We also have the jj cole car seat cover.
I backup everything on the computer but also in picasa.
My question - what do you use if you don't plan on using sippy cups? DH and I are not interested in sippies for a variety of reasons.
1. How do you wash your bottles? Like what do you use to wash and dry them? hand wash most of the time; dishwasher occasionally (but we rarely have to do bottles at home and daycare washes his bottles we keep there)
2. What do you use for a diaper pail? arm and hammer munchkin pail

I do my best to delete the junk photos. She's not going to want 10,000 photos of her first year, she's going to want the actually cute good stuff. Same for me - give me 100 good photos over 1000 meh with 100 good ones sprinkled in.

if he was sleeping, I didn't pump! I did at first, but I have a big stash and didn't need it. My friend with supply issues pumped two hours after her kid went to bed to make up for what she wasn't getting during the day. My body took a while to adjust, but it did eventually.

our doc said to feed him until he pushes it away. I sometimes stop if it looks like his belly is going to explode!
stealthmom 1) Hand wash with baby palmolive 2) Diaper dekor. We got one off our registry and actually bought a second one so we would have one upstairs and downstairs.
countthestars No coat in the car seat for us. We has a JJ cole "showercap" cover and if it's exceptionally cold, we'll use a blanket. I'm a little overly paranoid about thick things under straps in car seats. But it's so easy to keep her warm without doing that so I'm OK with the paranoia.
Mine: 4 weeks, 5 days, and she's eating like a fiend, and not sleeping. Growth spurt?
Mine: Do I really need to wait until AFTER his year appointment for milk? His appointment isn't until he'll be 12m3w and I really wanted to be done pumping and all that by then.

Canadian doctors say you can intro milk any time after 9 months, it just should be the basis of baby's diet (like bm or formula is). I don't really see any problem with introducing WCM at 11.5 months vs. 12.
If you are a SAHP, how did you introduce WCM? I want to keep nursing but would like DS to have WCM when I'm not around or if its convenient.
As much as an 11 month old wants. That might be nearly 100% (DS didn't really eat for a loooong time) or it might be closer to 50% with solids being the rest. If it's at least 2-3 x a day, I would say your supply will roll on forever.
I would just offer WCM in a cup (straw or sippy) with meals and/or snacks. If he likes it, cap it around 16 oz a day.
What do I say to the receptionist at the OB if I am worried about PPD? I've been struggling badly recently, but I don't know how to make the appt.
Would it be the OB or your regular doctor? If you opt for your regular dr, you can just say you want to have a general check up
I was hoping the OB would have more experience in terms of recommending safe medications plus dosing for breastfeeding, so that was the route I was going to go. Also, my regular doctor has a pretty big wait for check ups.

Ask your DH to make the appointment for you. Have him come, too, if he can. I didn't have PPD, but I did struggle with depression a bit in university and it helped a LOT to not go alone, even though I felt kind of weird bringing someone along.

Hugs. This was hard for me but I had an "excuse" - I failed the screen at the pedi well visit. You can just tell them that you think you may have PPD and want to see a dr to confirm.

I guess I'm spoiled, my gp did everything until I got pg, she did my annuals, checkup, etc. I have a very good relationship with her and can get it the same day for sick visits and usually within a week for general questions/check ups. Call and just say you want to discuss some general post-baby concerns with your dr. They should not push for details.
