Nursing/Postpartum Tuesday: Mesh Postpartum Underwear

Anyone who has given birth to a baby knows what I am talking about here. I actually didn’t know you could buy these retail — I thought they were only a medical product and/or given out for free at the hospital. If I were to have another child, I would definitely buy a set of these for home. These are large enough to hold the giant pads you wear postpartum, plus an ice pack, if you’re so inclined. They also come up high enough as to not have the waistband rub against C-section stitches. They are pure form over function! They are $12.89 for a pack of 3 at Amazon, and you can also find them at medical supply websites. Mesh Postpartum Underwear

FriedaMom sells a version of these, too.
I found that the mesh was good b/c it stretched and breathed. BUT it could become a hot mess if you mis-stuck a pad and angered the weave trying to re-stick it. And often I felt like the ones I had weren’t fit to hold the icepack up if I had to get up. Maybe the quality varies by brand, but I could have used something a bit more high-waisted and snugger to feel like it would stay up vs something that felt a bit to barely there. [I get how c-sections could be different.] There was one night where I swear I lost 10 pounds of fluid just peeing (it was the fluid gain from the hospital IVs you get if you get an epidural) and I felt like these were too stretched out to fight gravity any more.
Hacks for cleaning a front load washer? I’ve never owned one before but we bought a house 10 months ago with one. There are a hundred different suggestions when I search online.
We’re using it a ton these days and we’re noticing a brown (mold?) growing on the glass of the door and I’m assuming the rest of it needs to be cleaned somehow, too. Will baking soda and vinegar through a cycle or two do the trick? TIA.
are learning towers worth it? and if they are, does anyone have a suggestion? we have soon to be 2 year old twins and live in an apartment. don’t really want another item that is just going to take up space. until one age are they typically used?
I’m in search of some decor for our playroom walls. The room is a good size, not a ton of natural light. We have a white beadboard that comes up half way to a chair rail and then Benjamin Moore Blue Jean on top. There is one long, 11′ wall above a Nugget (kids sofa) that needs some decor.
I feel like all of my art around the house is in series – like four pictures of one theme, three pictures of another type of theme. It’s feeling a little over done. I’m not opposed to doing three side-by-side related images in the playroom (that’s what i’m finding the most of when I search for ideas), but wondering if anyone had any other suggestions before I hit copy/paste again. Thanks!
MA moms out there- Baker is set to announce an update on school closures today. Think it’ll go through Memorial Day or will he announce the full year?
I feel like puking either way. This is wholly unsustainable.
Duplicate comment and bad nesting, sorry. Admin please delete!
I finally broke down and hired part time help with our toddler while daycare is closed. Any ideas on things I could leave for the nanny to do with him? He has toys, obviously, but fewer than you’d think as we aren’t really home much normally (as terrible as that sounds!)
She is awesome and I am (probably unreasonably) worried they’re both going to be super bored cooped up in our living room and small yard for hours on end.
My husband had to go into work today and I had a Teams call. Unabashedly bribed my kiddo with a snack platter, digger videos, and the promise of chocolate. He joined in for a 5 minute cuddle but was perfectly quiet. Everyone was grinning and waving at him which was cute.
Any tips for night training my 3 year old? She’s been day trained for a year and I need to do this because she will only poop in the diaper and I am so sick of wiping poop bottoms every morning. I was going to buy a small potty chair to put next to bed and she can poop there in am if needed and I will take her to pee there once in the middle of night? Ambitious?
My 2 year old just said to me “Mommy has too many work calls.” I absolutely hate this :(. She’s been in daycare since she was 12 weeks old and I’ve never felt working mom guilt like this before.
just introduced my almost two year old to Daniel Tiger. I know many moms on this board are huge fans. The first episode includes the theme “when something seems bad, turn it around and find something good” — i am trying to apply that mindset to this current situation. so what is your something good?
mine is that DH is not traveling for work or working late out of the house, so even though I am still frequently doing bedtime itself solo (bc he still has work to do), he cleans up the mess that my toddlers make during dinner, which is something I hate doing & we’ve been eating more meals as a family
Having a birthday party in November may be a fantasy, but just play along with me.
I will have a 1 year old and 3 year old in November.
What time do you schedule a birthday party for the one year old? By that time we will be in opposite nap schedules. It seems like someone’s nap is going to have to be sacrificed but which one?
Any favorite lactation recipes that aren’t cookies? I need to change it up!
Anyone have sidewalk chalk recommendations? We have the Crayola washable kind and it ends up smearing all over my kids’ clothes. Are other brands any better? I don’t remember the chalk of my childhood being this smeary!
