Ok so I have a 4 month old, almost 4.5 months. He mostly nurses, but he has taken bottles of my pumped milk since day 1 as well. Husband is wonderful with him, was off for 2 months and worked from home ever since. Still takes the full night shift on weekends. We are at my parents who would help him the whole time as well, they are good with him. Of course the baby does best with me though. He’s an easy baby, but he likes to nurse to sleep. Can go to sleep without it but prefers to nurse when he wakes in the middle of the night, will take a bottle but it’s a lot more difficult and he cries. My husband is smart and resourceful and a great father, my parents are great as well. I am maid of honor for my sister and the sticky part is that her bachelorette is a 4 day cruise. I am not feeling good about leaving, it feels like he’s too young. I don’t want to mess up his attachment style, I don’t want something to happen, I don’t want him to be super upset the whole time, I don’t want to go and be worried the whole time and regret going. What should I do? What would you do? When did you leave your infant for the first time?

HELP pregnancy test in the comments! I would love your thoughts! I am 15 weeks postpartum, woke up feeling nauseous. I took a pregnancy test kind of for fun. I got a faint second line (complete shock) went and took a digital test and that was negative, but obviously my urine was more diluted. I looked at the box of tests I had taken that first time and it expired 5 months ago. I used that same second urine with another of the same tests that was expired and it was also negative that second time.

I have not had a period yet postpartum, and I am exclusively breastfeeding. I know it’s possible to ovulate and get pregnant before you have a period but it seems unlikely? Is it possible that the first test was a false positive? Or would both of the tests from that box have been positive if it were false? I’m going to test again tomorrow with my FMU but kinda unsure for today
