@brookert615@jvk2012 I think breast pumps is a great idea! I'm not a FTM and I had to exclusively pump due to latching issues with my DD so I'm VERY familiar with the one pump I had, but I would find this spotlight useful as I'm thinking about getting a different one.

Breast pumps for sure- I have 4 types and input on them but want to hear about 3 others specifically. The Hakka vs milky milk catcher too. Bottles (glass, plastic, stainless, colic inserts, boob shaped ones, and convertible kinds that turn to sippies...). I also want to talk pacifiers if anyone is in- round vs butterflies, paci clips, and plastic vs rubber.

@brookert615 I don't know if I need one. It would be super nice but once baby is old enough, I am stuck with this piece of furniture. Do I need one? Tough decision lol.

@rikiteacup Hahah YES! Honestly I'm in a dilemma choosing between a glider and a rocking chair... and WHAT COLOR! Because we are getting a hand-me-down crib that is white and I'm trying to match things? There's so much in play! LOL
@rikiteacup If it's helpful, I have a toddler and we still use our rocking chair daily. It's where we have storytime before bed. And when she's feeling under the weather or wakes up from a bad dream, she'll ask us to rock her. For us, it's absolutely gotten use and I imagine will continue to get use for at least a few more years. We thought it would be for the baby stages (used for nursing, etc.) so we went with a cheaper one from one of the big box baby stores, but sometimes I wish I had invested in a nicer quality one.
@rikiteacup my son is 1 but we spend time in our glider multiple times a day. We do a bit of rocking when we first wake up after our diaper change, we read stories on the glider before naps, we read bedtime stories and snuggle there. I can see us using the chair at least another 2-3 years. And after that, I will sell it. No need to keep an ugly piece of furniture (I have never found a glider that looks good to me, but they are soooo useful for some people). We did spring for a more expensive and super comfy one
@rikiteacup We are getting rid of our glider and doing a cozy corner with bean bags this time. I bought a cheapie glider that didn't recline and regretted it the whole time. If you have the space, go for big, squishy reclining glider that's actually furniture and not the $200 plywood and padding one from Target.
My glider looks like a legit plush chair. It’s the bomb and perfect for nursing, avoiding company pretending to nurse, and has been in the family for over six years now. If you want one spring for a good one. We put ours in the playroom now where I can nurse and hangout with the kids. It’s worth the investment, personally.
Have we done a product spotlight on pack n plays yet? I seriously need help finding a good one that isn’t a ton of money. Not looking for anything fancy, no bright colors. Just a great, basic pack n play. It’s harder than one thinks on amazon 😩
