I bought the next size up diva cup whom I affectionately call my loose lady cup. And it hurts my butt. I can't get the damn thing to open and not hurt. Is it opening too soon? Do I need to push it further. Wtf I want to wear a cup dammit.
It is too big. I went back down to the smaller one and it's much better but still not great which I'll attribute to having a baby 10 weeks ago. It doesn't hurt but I can feel it every now and then.
He wasn't that large when he was born, so luckily he is not 20+ lbs! Today he was 15lb 6oz, which is still really heavy to carry when he can't support himself at all. And I'm up 5lbs I lost 15 right after birth, then plateaued, now I'm gaining, WTF! Staying at home is not good for my weight. I snack way too much and I'm not as active. Apparently bf'ing is not making up for it. I can pretend it's arm muscle from carrying my heavy baby, haha!
Ds1 didn't double his birth weight until 9 months and I would guess at the rate we are going Ds2 will do the same. I make big babies inside and tall skinny babies outside.

Can I ask how much he weighed when he was born and what he weighs now? It sort of seems like our sons are both tap skinny bean poles lol
ellipses baby I is in 3-6 at 11w. He's tall though. I'm curious what he weighs!
babycaps too funny about your LO and his "friend". Do you use real words for body parts? That's a Montessori thing but MH are cringing at referring to technical names for the underparts.

TTM about diaper rash. DD1 never had it, and DD2 just got a nasty case of it. Any miracle creams people swear by? She's not bothered by it yet, but it looks so painful

We use all real words. penis, vagina, scrotum, anus and so on! If he one day comes home calling his penis "captain" (or any other funny or secret name) then I know I have to investigate because no one needs to be teaching him special names for his parts. Know what I mean? With that being said, there is a shitty history of child abuse in my family's past!

Balmex. DD never had diaper rash until starting daycare, where she got diarrhea and a bleeding butt the second or third week. Balmex and triple paste were the only things that worked, but I preferred the balmex... Although 3 years later, I don't know why.
ETA: we tried it all. Aquafor was great for keeping daycare happy. Desatin too. But balmex and triple paste were the only things that worked when she had really bad diaper rash.

Calmoseptine for wicked rash.
boudreaux butt paste from the red tube is also great.
P.S: never rub it all off between diapers. dab only and apply more. THICK!

Okay, so now I'm worried I have a kid who's gaining super fast... H was just a few oz shy of doubling his BW at his 2 month appointment? Is that weird?

Ugh. I return to work tomorrow. It's been a good 13 weeks off from work, but I've only had 1 week off of school AND work since the first two weeks after H was born.. I'm so not ready!

Thanks k3am and babycaps - was using Boudreauxs regular and got the max strength(red tube) at target today. Going to check out some of the other suggestions as well!

I think a lot of it depends on birth weight. I don't think there's anything automatically concerning about it.
+1 on Butt Paste Extra Strength! I also have lots of friends IRL that use A&D. How long it takes baby to double birth weight depends on how much they weighed at birth. It will take a 10+lb baby way longer to double than a 5lb baby. A took close to 9 months to double. I don't know what Cam weighs right now but I'm guessing he'll hit the double mark around 6 months.
Ugh. I return to work tomorrow. It's been a good 13 weeks off from work, but I've only had 1 week off of school AND work since the first two weeks after H was born.. I'm so not ready!
I go back tomorrow too! Good luck! Sorry you didn't get more down time between work and school!

Ryker doubled his birth weight by his 2 month appointment ... The pedi told me they don't expect them too until 6 months usually.... But he was only 6.4 when he was born and now he's 15 (at 3 months).
I'm going back to work tomorrow I work all week for our start of the school year and then next week will drop to 2 days a week. I'm having many feels about going back I can't believe I've been home for almost 4 months already
