Recent PAIF Grads???

TJ1979 · August 2013

Where are all the recent PAIF grads at? I feel like we haven't had many newbies lately. Do we need to go over there and start recruiting? Not that I don't love you guys, and I'm super excited about all the TTCA grads. But we need more friends!

IDK. Maybe they are just too busy being new moms? I don't think I started posting regularly on TB again until LO was about 4-5 months old. Before that I was just too busy and tired.

I just re-graduated 11 days ago, for the 2nd and final time. I'm not posting too much right now, but hope to be back in full force in the coming weeks.

@ibackbevo maybe so. I was nursing practically 24 hours a day, so I did a ton of bumping!

@nawlinsgrl congrats again and welcome back!

I agree TJ! I was I over here pretty quickly. Maybe not everyone realizes they're welcome??

Stupid fb.

To be honest, the new format makes it difficult to bounce around from board to board. I used to follow/contribute to 3 of 4 boards but now I limit it to two (this one and my BMB) because its not easy to go back and forth.

@phishgirl29 have you tried bookmarking your fave boards? That's how I do it on mobile.

@TJ1979 I have the two that I frequent open in two separate tabs on my iPad. It's hard to be a fly on the wall and search other boards during the late night feedings without the old left side bar was all I was trying to say. I think the reality of having a newborn is hard. My O loved nursing for an hour plus for the first month of his life, so I clocked in a ton of hours here!

I'm with tj I bump alot since Azeem uses me as his personal pacifier. But I do know that there were alot that graduated from IF and barely heard from them again in PAIF. Not many post anymore and alot I think went to the fb group as well.

I agree with this - I still lurk from Time to time on PAIF to follow a few people, but many of the names I knew from IF dont appear to be around!

I also bump more now that I did pre baby. Thank you breast feeding!

It is harder to bounce around and now that I'm back at work, I don't get much bump time. It's blocked at work and my evenings are split between H and now lesson planning.

I haven't lurked on PAIF in a while though, didn't someone set up a FB group from that board? Maybe some new faces will pop up.

I am here but barely have time to lurk now days. iPad is handy during feeds but my one handed skills for typing are lacking.

Maybe somebody should post a PSA on PAIF!

lily_721 · August 2013

I'm here although I graduated more than two months ago. I barely have time for anything. I think I am successful when I make coffee and have breakfast at home each morning. Today was not successful. Baby is fantastic. I'm trying to have more realistic expectations for myself. Pumping in my car is my only break each day so you will see me more often.

TJ1979 · August 2013

Glad to see you here @lily_721! The qualifications of a successful day with a newborn are very minimal indeed. I hope tomorrow is a better day. Things get much easier, hang in there.
