    Top 5 things you’d recommend

    @hurtbygod You can pry my hazelnut creamer from my cold dead hands. I try to be good and drink it black for a couple days when I run out before we grocery shop, but I sooo look forward to putting it back in my cup lol!

    Anxiety over planning for baby number 2+?

    @cmanu63 Naw man I want 2 in diapers and then 2 in school so we can travel and the kids will be on similar paths/abilities. I don’t want massive differences between who can climb what or carry what or ride what. Close but not uncomfortably close (irish twins? No thanks!) My goal was 18 mo...

    7 months postpartum and body still looking bad. It makes me feel sad to look at it

    (24 F) Struggling with Baby fever

    @patrick_m Brief mention of pregnancy/child. I felt so similar to you when I was 22-24! My bf and I had been together since high school, I desperately wanted a baby and as soon as I graduated college it got so much worse. For a while I deleted social media because truthfully I didn’t need to...

    Nursing tank recommendations (no clips!$

    @okfine At my local Old Navy there are stretchy tanks that I used to wear and just pull a boob out the armpit. They had a higher neckline and large arm holes.

    Breastfeeding carrier

    @mynameisjim I breastfed many times in my original Ergo baby. It’s essentially the same as nursing in koala position. You loosen the shoulder straps, slump baby down lower, pull boob up a little, nurse, then hike baby back up and retighten the straps.
