Pulled the trigger and got this after buying like 4 dresses that just weren’t it

I have an issue where I can’t justify buying nicer things till I’ve tried everything else, I’m a new mom and we have one income but my husband never tells me no, but I restrict a lot and budget a lot. I thrifted 3 dresses trying to tell myself I could live without this one, it’s stupid but stuff like this shape hide my postpartum belly and the pattern is so me, I feel guilty still but I know I’d wear it a lot. I love it. I’ve been eyeing it for a really long time. This is the first kinda expensive piece of clothing I’ve bought for myself since being married, I’m so much more blessed than I deserve.

Best carrier for back wearing

Considering the happy baby. Also considering woven wrap it just looks rlly hard and wow they are expensive. Right now I have the artipoppe and ergobaby, but I prefer the simplicity of something like hope and plum or happy baby. Which is better for warm weather? The artipoppe is nice but has no chest clip

Weight gain

Everyone said the weight would just fall/melt off when breastfeeding but it isn’t. My weight actually went up my 5lbs within the past two weeks, I’m a very petite girl. I weighed just about 90lbs when I got pregnant, I weigh 100 now 4 months post partum (4’11 height) these weights are healthy for me, I wasn’t looking thin as a rail when I got pregnant so I’m still about 10lbs heavier than I was before. I’m exclusively breastfeeding and I’ll be honest I constantly feel insecure about not having kink now that my supply is regulated so I’m making an effort to make sure I eat in a bit of a surplus now that my supply is regulated and I’m unable to physically feel the letdowns.
I feel like I won’t start losing weight until I’m done breastfeeding, I feel like my supply is fragile though large, so I’m constantly trying to get food in my body.
I see some online looking so lean and toned so quickly. Did anyone else take a while to get back in shape? Or maybe did you not lose the weight till after breastfeeding, I know and see people online do it but I just can’t seem to do it without being paranoid about my supply

Please help low supply after sick

My daughter recently had paraflu and I didn’t notice that she wasn’t transferring a lot of milk until pretty much a whole day of slowly less and less wet diapers, naturally some days she has a few not so wet diapers and I change her pretty often so I didn’t notice, when I finally did get four dry diapers in a row I took her to the hospital and she tested positive for the virus. Naturally, I started pumping every three hours, but I still haven’t been able to get more than 1.5 ounces per session. I brought her to the hospital on Sunday, It is now Tuesday and I’ve seen no improvement. I am taking reglan, pumping ever three hours, and I have power pumped twice so far….. I probably did get sick too, did this happen to anyone else, especially with paraflu or another virus? Did your supply come back? How long did it take?
