Back by popular demand, it’s a Super Mamas Q&A! We love answering your questions on Instagram Stories, DM, email, and voicemail, and we were getting so many that we decided to create a new series dedicated to answering them.
This week, we share advice and our personal experiences with anal incontinence, postpartum depression, how to make the most of “mommy and daddy time”, the best tips for online learning, sibling arguments, and starting your own podcast.
Want to ask something else? Email us at hello@supermamas.com or call the hotline at (424) 326-3707. We could feature your question in a future episode!
Pick or Tip of the Week
Paulina was having trouble keeping Krista’s iPad in place during her school time. She found this iPad holder that swivels so she can move it when she’s writing and readjust when she talking to her teacher.
Her second pick is something she loves and hates. 😂 Paulina bought Zixta a bag of kinetic sand, and it’s been great for keeping her occupied for hours while the Krista and Sabina do their schoolwork. And it’s surprisingly not as messy as she thought!
Bricia is sharing Augustina’s night feeding routine. Remember to always consult your doctor, but this is what works for her.
4PM: Breastfeeds for about 45 minutes. It’s long, but great bonding with the baby.
6:30PM: Bath time for Augustina
7PM: Bottle feeds her 6oz. of breastmilk (this is Bricia’s favorite bottle for her) and puts her down for the night. Then Bricia pumps whatever she can and stores it for her midnight feeding.
Augustina sleeps until 2AM. Bricia keeps this bottle warmer in her room because it doesn’t take much room and uses a skincare fridge to store the milk she pumped earlier for the nighttime bottle (which she’ll repurpose for her skincare when Augustina stops feeding in the middle of the night 😝). She feeds Augustina another 5-6oz. and the baby sleeps until 7AM.
Her best tip is to find your baby a bottle they like! It helps so much with overnight feedings, saves a lot of time. Plus your partner can help too.
