@catholic2001 Hey! There is a ton of great advice here so I won’t repeat it. But I did just want to let you know that typically, transition is the worst part. I’ve had three unmedicated births so far and the worst part for me is from 8-10cm.

@christiangirl94 We tracked different things at different times. Tracked diapers for the first month or so, but quickly stopped that as it’s really just tracked as an indicator for them getting enough to eat. Sleep only tracked for about months 2-4 as she transitioned to taking real naps vs...

@ava1453 Thursday: collect all the laundry baskets, strip and replace sheets (as needed), sleep sacks, towels, etc. and sort it into piles in my bedroom. Treat any stains. Friday: wash/dry clothes, fold (in separate piles on our bed), and put away. I usually do like 3-5 loads of laundry on...

@vcs I have that EXACT same age gap with my three, youngest is now currently 7mo. I’m currently 32 so not the exact same age as you, but I will say for me personally, the pregnancy was more difficult. I did in PT for week 16-40 of pregnancy and it’s the only thing that saved my bacon. We also...

@rae29 In these situations I usually say something like “I’m sorry they aren’t cut how you want! I can’t make you a new one but you don’t have to eat it” and then hold firm. Usually they end up eating it (if they were actually hungry to begin with lol) I’m not making a new one and wasting food...

@draeconian We actually have those same cameras that we use generally around the house, and they are great! For our baby monitor though, we went with owlet since we were getting the heart rate/oxygen monitor, and we got it in a combo pack with the video monitor on a great Black Friday sale. For...

@pnao I have a 3.5yo and 21mo. RUN and get them a play kitchen. We got one for our 3.5yo when she was 18mo and it’s still the #1 toy that they BOTH play with. Also highly suggest any of the food toys from Melissa and Doug. My husband and I make a lot of tea and they both love the play tea...

@madscribbler Mom of three littles here! Youngest is currently 5mo so I am in the thick of it lol. 1 - trust your mom gut and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. I’m always paranoid that I’m wasting someone’s time, but you know your baby best. Don’t be afraid to be direct and if you are...

@gaiealiyly This is what I sent to a coworker of mine! Pregnancy books Expecting Better This is my favorite pregnancy book. It’s science-driven and the author doesn’t try to give you “rules,” rather she arms you with the studies so you can make your own decisions. Birth Partner 5th Edition: A...

@gaiealiyly We have a 2 week old so I was recently in your shoes! And we DEFINITELY did baby on a budget. First I’ll just mention that I’ve been loving the Evenflo brand - they seem to be like an Amazon básica kinda company for some baby gear. Anyways, first I would suggest that you read and...

@thesandlapper Visit r/clothdiaps !! Super helpful for me!

@ahead Also newly turned SAHM (as of Jan) of a currently have a 3.5yo and 19mo. Going out is particularly exhausting because I’m currently 36w pregnant 🤣 here are some activities we do - especially ones at home! Library story time Park Play outside in the backyard (ours is fenced in and...

@ejfan291 What is your budget like? Are you looking for granola gifts in terms of the activity (Montessori vs a tablet) or more in terms of material (wood vs plastic)?

@wh2 I’m in a similar boat - 3.5yo, 1.5yo, and 30 weeks pregnant. The truth is that some days it’s clean and some days it isn’t. I’m a pretty type A person and love my house being clean (stresses me out otherwise), but pregnancy kills my energy levels. I know I’ll bounce back after pregnancy!

@washedinhisblood My SIL had her baby 2 weeks before mine was born. Mine is currently 8 week old, 3m clothing, and around 12lbs. Hers is 10 weeks old, 12m clothing, and close to 20lbs. I always laugh when people say that my baby is “big” lol

@kimrossie Absolutely option B. Back in 2018 when we were buying our first house, we had zero kids but we’re hoping to have 3-4 kids asap. My husband and I each did about 50-50 WFH and working in an office, so we knew we’d need an office space. We looked at two different houses - one that was...

@robertharris Thank you!! I was toying around with the idea of the Yoto as well but wasn’t sure. Thanks for your insight!

@birdlover99 I make homemade pouches (I make a bunch at once and freeze) with whole milk Greek yogurt, fruit, and a little milk and honey to thin and sweeten it. A lot of times before preschool that’s what my 3.5yo and 18mo have for breakfast (and they also get a mid-morning snack). That with...

@robertharris Lovevery came out with a cool music set so I’m thinking something like that. I’m also a huge fan of Melissa and Doug toys. I think both our toddlers would really like some kind of music/story player but I’m not really thrilled with the toonie or whatever it’s called. So I have...

@jojoz I can’t tel you too much yet, but we have a 21m age gap between our first and second, and we will have a 20m age gap between our second and third here soon. I thought that age gap with our first two worked out pretty great - it was hard the first few months but it’s been great since they...
