7,309,901 | mommit | Word. |
7,309,902 | mommit | It took me far too long to figure out that FTM was First Time Mom. I only know it as Female To Male, but but I was pretty sure that wasn't that case here. |
7,309,903 | mommit | FTM? In guessing it doesn't mean female to Male, in this situation? |
7,309,904 | mommit | Looks like you got this. |
7,309,905 | mommit | My baby still cuddles me like this at 7 months. He’s teething so all he wants is to sleep on me and I hate and love it. I know I’m gonna miss it, he’s already half as tall as me. Keep capturing these moments mama! |
7,309,906 | mommit | This is perty in an existence sustenance kind of way. |
7,309,907 | mommit | Toughest job in the World!! |
7,309,908 | mommit | The reality is taking a selfie of yourself with your eyes closed and with a flash at baby's sleeping face because those likes. |
7,309,909 | mommit | You look very pale - could you get into the sun a little and take breastfeeding multivitamins? All the best on your lovely journey <3 |
7,309,910 | mommit | I love this analogy lol lil bun is living the life! |

7,309,912 | mommit | Just looked at these on Amazon and I am yet again amazed that other women have milk effortlessly flowing out of their breasts. I see posts about the Hakaa all the time where people are getting ounces at a time from the unused boob while nursing. I don’t get it!! My supply is good but my boobs have never let out more t... |
7,309,913 | mommit | The haakaa was so much better for us than the milk savers cause it suctions on to your boob so it can’t go anywhere (no crying over spilt milk!) |
7,309,914 | mommit | so these are breast pads that store the milk right? If not disregard this...this might be a really dumb question since the milk literally comes out of the boob, but would your body warmth make the milk spoil if you couldn’t get it drained within an hour or so? |
7,309,915 | mommit | Baby heads are the best smell in the world!!! |
7,309,916 | mommit | I second that! |
7,309,917 | mommit | Okay I understand what you are trying to do here but I want to say that these are definitely not the best days for everyone. I have a 2 year old and those first months were the absolute hardest and worst of my life. I do not miss him being a baby, I do not want to go back, I don’t miss it. I love this insane little tod... |
7,309,918 | mommit | Me too... mine are 10 and 13 now... dealing with late nights, constant feeding, colic, even a child who was gravely ill throughout most of his infancy... I find those days easier than now...I could fix things then... I can't any longer... |
7,309,919 | mommit | My wife has loved the bamboo ones for years!!! |
7,309,920 | mommit | First time mom |
7,309,921 | mommit | Had the same question. Thanks for asking. |
7,309,922 | mommit | My first thought. I didnt think it made sense and had to check which sub it was on. |
7,309,923 | mommit | I thought that too! Until someone answered your question! I just thought, a body is a body and they can all do things. |
7,309,924 | mommit | Same doubt |
7,309,925 | mommit | Wtf? |
7,309,926 | mommit | I just quickly glanced at it and OP looks a bit like me, I have a new baby and frequently snuggle said baby in my bra |
7,309,927 | mommit | The haakaa suctions on so it’s actively drawing milk. I wasn’t a huge leaker myself but often got 1-3oz with the haakaa when my babe nurses on the other side! |
7,309,928 | mommit | See I was squirting buckets, but I'd get a couple drops thatd soak the front of my shirt. If I squeezed the bulb of the haakaa then suctioned it on, it has a light pressure/suction to it that drew the milk out. |
7,309,929 | mommit | [deleted] |
7,309,930 | mommit | I have read warm wash cloths can make things flow more freely |
7,309,931 | mommit | Breast milk stays good for appx 3-5 hours room temp. Also, hakka is much cheaper & I’ve saved sooo much breastmilk since I started using it everytime I feed or am just leaking a lot. |
7,309,932 | mommit | It’s basically a silicone cup that catches the letdown. You wear it only while nursing then pour the milk into a bottle when done to store. [link on amazon](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007HYL9TS/) Also breast milk stays good for a while at room temperature so long as it hasn’t been contaminated |
7,309,933 | mommit | This! Baby time is my least favorite time. Like yes, my just-turned 2 year old fights me about things. But also takes a great nap most days and sleeps most nights and says things like "I'm sad because I don't have a cupcake in my mouth right now." Which is way better than the screaming sack of potatoes (actually, he wa... |
7,309,934 | mommit | Another one here who hates the infant stage and much prefers the toddler stage. Thanks for pointing out that it’s okay to not like the infant stage - for the longest time I felt like I was the only one and I was worried it made me a bad mother. The infant stage is what is keeping me from having another child - if I c... |
7,309,935 | mommit | I totally understand and appreciate this as well! Infants are hard!! |
7,309,936 | mommit | That makes so much more sense! Thank you |
7,309,937 | mommit | I was sooo confused until I sorted by controversial |
7,309,938 | mommit | I was guessing full time mom, but that makes more sense |
7,309,939 | mommit | Not judging...it is a beautiful photo. I am just being a mother hen. |
7,309,940 | mommit | All I used was a hand pump my whole breastfeeding time, even when donating to a cousin's adopted newborn. Once you get the hang of it, it's easy. |
7,309,941 | mommit | We wouldn’t have had a successful feeding journey without hot wheat packs on top of my breasts every feed for the first few weeks. Life saving tip for us! |
7,309,942 | mommit | I really needed this thread as I am a FTM and literally had this breakdown the other day. She will be a month in a few hours and I felt so guilty for having a bad time during this stage. I’ve felt like a horrible mother. I don’t understand her different cries and feel excited that one day she will be able to tell me wh... |
7,309,943 | mommit | Yes! If I could have a toddler off the bat I would have 4 kids, but because of the baby stage we still haven’t even talked about #2 and the ‘plan’ was to originally be trying by now. |
7,309,944 | mommit | Mom of a 10 month old here. I felt the exact same way, the newborn stage is so, so hard. You're parenting with no positive feedback, sleep deprivation, and a major life change while your body heals. You are a great mother, the newborn phase is just a phase and it does get easier and more fun. I felt a lot more like mys... |
7,309,945 | mommit | You’re an incredible mother. I’m also in the “can’t stand infant stage” gang. The first few months were miserable. I wasn’t bonding with my son and I felt like I lost my life. It is OKAY to feel this way and please don’t let anyone tell you differently. I promise it only gets better. You’re doing a great job!!! |
7,309,946 | mommit | You are doing an amazing job. This age felt like parenting was just a checklist to hopefully figure out what to do. Baby doesn't seem human really yet beyond tiny glimpses like when they stretch or yawn or make eye contact. You are allowed to have least favorite stages and favorite stages. It isn't that you don't lov... |
7,309,947 | mommit | Just remember that she is older everyday. You never do the same day twice. |
7,309,948 | mommit | Thank you I’m trying my best! You just made my day |
7,309,949 | mommit | This is my favorite thing in the world thank you |
7,309,950 | mommit | That’s true! I never thought of that! |
7,309,951 | mommit | You’re welcome! I didn’t believe anyone when they told me it would get better but it absolutely does. Just hang on!! |
7,309,952 | mommit | Unfortunately the amount of parents who overdose in the car with their kids is really high :( however, someone should’ve tapped on the window or just walked around the other side to see if you were conscious. Glad the cop was understanding! |
7,309,953 | mommit | It's sort of annoying but you should take comfort in the fact that if something bad were to happen to you someone would call for help and not let your baby be stuck in a car with you possibly unconscious or dead. |
7,309,954 | mommit | I called the police once in a situation like this and it turned out the person wasn’t sleeping…he was dead. I’ll never judge someone else calling for a welfare check if they are genuinely concerned. I actually think it’s awesome that someone cared enough about a perfect stranger to get involved. You may have been a ... |
7,309,955 | mommit | My daughter fell asleep in the car on the way to daycare and I pulled into a local neighborhood and ended up falling asleep in the driver seat. I kept waking up because I was so paranoid that someone would think I had overdosed and would call the police. |
7,309,956 | mommit | Idk, if I see someone asleep with a kid in the car, I wouldn't know if they're just taking a nap, like you, or if they're strung out on something and either need emergency medical attention or will get violent when disturbed. I also remember a post somewhere about a man who had been driving, had a medical emergency, an... |
7,309,957 | mommit | I’ve found a dead person in a car. Annoying for you for sure, but unfortunately people OD or have medical emergencies all the time. Better safe than sorry. |
7,309,958 | mommit | I just want to say to you that I get it. Parenting is hard and it’s definitely better to let them sleep. I remember my baby would beg to go to the park and when when we would arrive, she would be asleep and I always chose to let her rest a bit and relax in the car. If you move them, they are up and they are cranky and... |
7,309,959 | mommit | I’ll have the unpopular opinion here. Someone might not have felt comfortable tapping on your window or checking on you themselves and they felt the police were the more appropriate party to do that. I realize that can come off as annoying, but not everyone is comfortable approaching a stranger’s car even if they think... |
7,309,960 | mommit | I kind of understand this though, alot of heroin users in my state it's not unheard of to see a parent absolutely slumped with their kids in a stroller or in the car. I wouldn't go approaching someone who I thought was on drugs either to check if they were okay I'd have called the cops as well If that's what I thought ... |
7,309,961 | mommit | I know from personal experience when my mom was a drunken crackhead that passed out on the side of the road with us in the car, that those people get defensive and pull off and then they’re in the wind and there’s no one to help the kids. It took them forever to finally catch up to her and get us into foster care but n... |
7,309,962 | mommit | Well someone thought to err on the side of caution. Better safe than sorry. Maybe they were worried you weren’t ok. |
7,309,963 | mommit | Oh I do this all the time and have for years. As a very tired single parent this is my rest time and my child only naps in the car. Never thought how it would look or even thought of the alternatives people have spoken about. So I get what you’re saying and the other sides too. Tricky |
7,309,964 | mommit | I can absolutely sympathize. Police showed up suspecting a domestic dispute - all because my neighbors below called in a “woman in distress, children in home”. I was in active labor with my second child, and my older one was spending time at grandmas. I was in distress because I was 6cm dilated and 15 hours into lab... |
7,309,965 | mommit | Someone called 911 on you because you looked unconscious in public. That’s a safety concern. You could have had a seizure. You’re assuming all the bad things about whoever called like you couldn’t have had an embolism or a heart attack and died because you have a nice car. |
7,309,966 | mommit | Next time, put up a piece of paper saying that you're waiting for your kid to finish her nap, with time and date. An outsider could just be worried that you're both dying/dead from carbon monoxide poisoning, or some other medical emergency. |
7,309,967 | mommit | Ugh. Did they wake the baby up when they were talking to you? |
7,309,968 | mommit | Something similar happened to me once. I was sitting in the car with my baby playing on my lap, waiting for my husband to come out of the post office, and interrupted someone when they were in the middle of calling the cops because they somehow thought the baby was alone in the car (despite the fact that she was standi... |
7,309,969 | mommit | This happened to me. My mom stayed in the backseat of the car with my daughter while I ran in the store. While I was still inside, the cops showed up to investigate. No one looked in or tapped on the window, nothing, which I thought was odd too. If I suspected a baby was alone in a car, I’d certainly tap on the window ... |
7,309,970 | mommit | Even if you were sleeping, is that illegal? I can’t remember how many times my toddler fell asleep in the car and I’m just like sweet, I get a nap too! Obviously whoever called has never raised a child. |
7,309,971 | mommit | Well hopefully the officer left you alone when he realized you were just resting. |
7,309,972 | mommit | Don’t be embarrassed. I also just let my kid sleep while I scroll. It was just a misunderstanding. |
7,309,973 | mommit | Why would you be embarrassed? Annoyed yes but you did nothing to be embarrassed about. |
7,309,974 | mommit | Uh, dumb question: is it illegal to nap in the car with your child? Asking because my stepdaughter’s mom regularly drives 18 hours to her hometown with my stepdaughter, and apparently semi-regularly pulls into public rest stops and they both nap in the car. Obv that’s dangerous on its own, but is it actually illegal to... |
7,309,975 | mommit | Did the officer say a person called you in for sleeping? Perhaps they were concerned for you and called so they could make sure you're ok. |
7,309,976 | mommit | Now imagine how certain people of certain backgrounds/ethnicities/races feel when they get approached by police officers EVERY DAY for no reason what so ever…. Just sayin |
7,309,977 | mommit | I get your feeling of wishing someone just tapped your window to see if you’re OK instead of calling the cops but some ppl like I can picture just like screaming at someone to leave them alone or be otherwise rude or scary. Not you necessarily but some ppl are just like that :-/ |
7,309,978 | mommit | were the cops respectful, or were they condescending power hungry a-holes? |
7,309,979 | mommit | Kind of eye opening. I seriously do this often because it’s been difficult to get my 2 1/2 year old to nap after preschool so I drive around and eventually park under a tree at the park or mall… I’m sorry you went through that I would totally feel the same way if that happened to me. |
7,309,980 | mommit | Wow! This is wild. I’m a nurse and I nap all the time in my car! |
7,309,981 | mommit | I would have been annoyed/upset as well. I understand what everyone is saying about the person being concerned, but things can go south fast if the wrong officer with a bad attitude shows up. It shouldn’t be that way, but unfortunately it is. It’s good to look out for other people in case something bad has happened, bu... |
7,309,982 | mommit | I’m gonna have the real unpopular opinion and say I’d be MAD AS HELL in your situation lol. I’m trying to get a few minutes of peace and I can’t even get that cuz some nosy Nelly thinks they’re saving the day? Nahhh she’d have to be more worried about my tired ass mom anger after the fact than she would about any poten... |
7,309,983 | mommit | Seems a little overboard that someone called the cops wow! |
7,309,984 | mommit | We once had a co-worker report the maintenance man for not wearing his safety glasses. The co-worker walked past the maintenance man, went to the supervisor, and reported it. The maintenance man (an older, incredibly intelligent gentleman) tore the coworker a new one, politely. He very calmly said "if its a big enough ... |
7,309,985 | mommit | As a mom of four, this is why I have my windows tinted |
7,309,986 | mommit | I wouldn’t tap on a strangers window. Some people get extremely violent and I’m not putting myself at risk. I’d call the police too. Better to be safe, than sorry |
7,309,987 | mommit | Even if you were asleep what would be the problem? And why would the cops respond to something like that |
7,309,988 | mommit | I’ve legit seen people hang photos in their windows saying “just sleeping, nothing else. Kid was up all night.” |
7,309,989 | mommit | I didn’t do this with my kid but in the newborn days I got to work early and parked a few blocks away to take a Power Nap. Of course I was in front of a clients’ house and she woke me up concerned about my health I was like “I’m just a new mom! Let me sleep ” |
7,309,990 | mommit | I know it's embarrassing, but I would also like to think that at least there are people who are looking out for the well being of others. I would probably call the police if I saw something similar. You never know if someone is dead or on drugs and their kids need to be taken to a safe situation. |
7,309,991 | mommit | Sleep when the baby sleeps /s |
7,309,992 | mommit | The reaching in these answers has been … interesting. If the person who called the cops on OP really thought they were in distress how come they didn’t call an ambulance instead? They called with an intent to punish and police (literally) OP’s parenting. We know in this day and age how many “wellness checks” end up... |
7,309,993 | mommit | Y’all. If you are concerned about the well-being of a child, like, truly concerned. Than ask. Stop calling the cops. If you care enough investigate immediately and then make a decision. You are just as capable of getting a child into a safe situation (in fact probably more capable) than the cops. ALSO. Ask questions an... |
7,309,994 | mommit | Fentanyl ODs are common and kids die in the vehicles. |
7,309,995 | mommit | The Karens are just so pathetic. Even if you were sleeping it’s your business, not theirs |
7,309,996 | mommit | I know a family who had a tragic car seat death. What if mom overdosed? How many hours was the car there? Better safe than sorry. I’d probably call the cops or tap on the window myself first |
7,309,997 | mommit | Tell me you live in the US without telling me you live in the US |
7,309,998 | mommit | People are so ridiculous and always stick their nose in where it doesn’t belong… SMH… |
7,309,999 | mommit | It’s bc people can’t mind their own business! I have seen people over dose on heroin and I’ve walked in on a person already overdosed. They look completely different compared to a person who is just sleeping. If the child isn’t in distress ppl should have just tapped in the window and checked on you. You’re lucky a psy... |
7,310,000 | mommit | Rude, I would have been pissed the cop interrupted my five min of silence. |
