Breast feeding mommies what type of bottles are you guys using ??
@prestonjeanetta0120, oh ok yea mines is December 17th at 7:45am and I’ll be 39.2 weeks, yea I don’t know how imma get my daughter to school that day plus my boyfriend has his finals that day also 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️ Idk what we gonna do... yea his mom is coming up to help us once I’m outta the hospital.. but girl your huge how much they saying the baby weight now
@meka2013, yes it’s scheduled for the 30th early af in the morning they do them at 39 weeks . If I go into labor before hand then it will be an emergency c-section which none of us want cause I’m high risk and there will be no guarantee that my doctor will be able to be the one to perform the c-section yet alone I have my mother taking off certain days and that morning is one of them cause I want her to be in the room while my SO watch our 1yr old .
@prestonjeanetta0120, when are you having the baby, your having a c-section right?
@meka2013, don’t know yet not sure which ones they have . I should find out on Wednesday when I go to my appointment. I haven’t even looked because soon as I called them they off bat asked for my doctors script to prove pregnancy and etc . So I just told my doctor and she said well do it at 36 weeks .
@prestonjeanetta0120, which one is you getting?
@meka2013, well if that’s the pump your getting then it makes sense . My insurance doesn’t do orders for pumps until 36 weeks . So next week when I go for my 36th appointment my doctor will do the referral to order one for me . So they can send me one
@prestonjeanetta0120, yes I ordered the pump awhile ago cause my insurance was giving me an expire date to order so I figured I should use the Medela bottles
@meka2013, is that the pump your getting ? Is that why your using that kind ?
@vvrobinson, yea I had both mines at 39 by c-section and my c-section this time around is at 39 weeks as well unless I go into labor before hand but I hope not cause I don’t want an emergency c-section since I’m high risk
@prestonjeanetta0120 I was really eager to get my girls out too. I went into labor with my first at 38.6 two days before csection date and Cassie was moved up a week from set date because of my preeclampsia, I had her at 38.2. I can't imagine being preggo at 40 weeks 😩
@vvrobinson, that’s great !! I’ve been through a lot and yet I still hold everything together for my babies I can’t wait to teach them and tell them my stories so they can know all the dos and donts so they can live life to the fullest and enjoy in every way possible !! I just can’t wait till I have this princess I’m starting to get impatient cause it’s almost time
@prestonjeanetta0120 that's really important to have people you trust with your children. My husband makes enough for me to be home comfortably and thats really nice. I was 18 when I married him and took almost 2 years to work and travel from college. I stopped at my associates and started learning new skills at home. Taught myself to sew, knit, bake, gourmet cook, garden, crochet, craft, and scrapbook. I've been having fun basically these last 2 years. I am looking forward to just spending time with my kids before they start school and I get back to my school work
@vvrobinson, only if I had that mind frame I don’t mind working I like working and making my own money and being able to spend how I want . But I was a young mom I had my son when I was only 18 and in college I got my bachelors in CJ with him and my daughter is 1 and I saved enough to be able to stay home with her for the 1st year . This baby wasn’t planned considering I was forced to get off birth control due to extreme bleeding after I had her for 10 months . And money is running out so ima take a few months to stay with my new princess once she’s born but then I have to get back I do armed security so the pay is nice . And I already have a daycare that mines well go into that’s practically second family so at least they’re not strangers and I trust them .
@prestonjeanetta0120 awe how sweet. I plan to continue my degree when my youngest starts prek so in 3 years. I got my associates 8 months pregnant with Athena and I've been a sahm since. We don't believe in daycare and nannies, I didn't carry them for 9 months so have someone else raise them. If I couldn't be a sahm we wouldn't have the kids until I could be. Hubby made us wait till we bout our house and family car before planning each kid 😊
@vvrobinson, lucky you I wish I could be a Sahm . well actually I’ve been one for almost a year now but I’m going back to work in January sometime , so I’ve been enjoying this time with my princess which is why she’s so spoiled now 🤦🏾♀️ lol
@prestonjeanetta0120 makes sense!! I'm a sahm so whipping the boob is out is my job 😂
@vvrobinson, I plan on using boobs as long as I can but in reality I’ll be doing both because when I’m not around baby she still has to eat specially when I return to work both as in boob and bottle not formula .
I used doctor browns and avent
I put one of each on my registry. I’m hoping that baby likes the tommee tippee though because my friend gifted me the adapters so that I can pump directly into them. I hear from a lot of breastfeeding moms that baby likes tommee tippee and comotomo. Maybe start with those if you weren’t given any single bottles then when you find one that works you can buy a set.
I love the tommee tippee bottles
@meka2013, last I checked at 32 weeks she was 2 pounds 9 ounces . I’m not expecting her to be big . I carried huge with both my babies and they’re were small my son was 5 pounds and my princess came out 6 pounds . I believe I have a sono coming up really soon cause they schedule them at 36 weeks and then for the next 3 weeks I’ll have them 2 times a week
