    I don’t have a mom or a lot of family. Give me some motherly advice and tips about my first born

    @madscribbler The first year (especially the first 4-5 months) are their own unique experience and are not representative of parenthood more broadly. Your day-to-day life will look completely different by age 1 because so much changes (nap schedule, eating, mobility, etc.) I had a lot of "WTF...

    I’m conflicted about Mother’s Day…

    @snyder502 Skip the party, and ask to celebrate your niece and nephew another weekend. Bring over presents, treats and have a little mini get-together. They will love it. Then enjoy your Mother's Day guilt-free. Their parents are wack for this.

    Nursing clothes that I can actually go out in

    @alwaysfaithful18 My absolute favorite thing to wear postpartum was this nursing romper from Latched Mama (they call it a "momper," which is terrible, but just ignore that). It's stretchy, flowy, and actually cute. And you don't have to coordinate tops and bottoms. The nursing maxi dresses from...

    How do you have time to do anything?

    @babszie Ok, so this is my Type-A system for time management with a baby and FT demanding job. I realize this is kind of intense, but it has really helped me. Separate from your to-do list at work, make a list of all the chores you have to do in a day, in a week, in a month, plus all the...
