Looking for a place with outdoor seating for Mother’s Day. I have a newborn who will not have gotten vaccinated yet and want to avoid eating in a crowded dining room especially with the measles outbreak going on. Thinking brunch but open to other options too.
Bonus if they take reservations!
Thanks in advance?
Hey all! I am 5 weeks PPD and have been exclusively pumping (with 4 oz of formula per day per my pediatrician) since about 2 weeks PPD. I started out not producing nearly enough, then became a barely-enougher, and recently I have been pumping about 4 oz per session while my baby only eats 2.5-3 oz, so I am starting to have leftovers each day.
I have been storing milk in the small Medela bottles, which work well, but they only hold 5 oz. Since I pump 4 oz at a time, I have to grab a new bottle every other pump, and then when I am making baby’s bottle I end up emptying one every other feed too. So I am going through a lot of bottles on both ends, which adds up to a lot of dishes. I would love to find a better system for storing milk throughout the day to cut down on all of that.
How is everyone storing their daily milk? I also want to start freezing the extra but I am finding it hard to track what is actually “extra” when everything is spread across so many small bottles.
One more related question: is there a reason to keep day pumped milk and night pumped milk separate? I currently do this and only give day milk during the day and night milk at night, but I am not sure if that is necessary. Thanks in advance!
