@underlord553 Did you get in the water? The most uncomfortable part of birth for me was tightness in my inner thighs in between contractions when I was trying to find a relaxing resting position. The the warm water and weightlessness made it go away instantly.

@snowtrekker I highly recommend waterbirth (the warm water and being weightless is amazing relief!), a Bradley Method birthing class (husband coached birth to help release all the oxytocin) and @painfreebirth on IG. Helped me have a pain free birth with no tears w a 98%tile baby!

@tobyharba 7 month pregnant lurker… I’m all against black mirrors controlling our lives. We don’t do any TV or screen time w his toddler other than once a week family movie night on the projector. But I’ll admit I got into bad screen habits during my first trimester…the fatigue and nausea...

@kagenonikki Good to know that can happen! Was hoping for just pees on overnight flights…but good to be prepared. Still sticking to my plan for cloth tho!

@handlotion What about babywearing for contact naps? Such a game changer for velcro babies! Sidelying position is great for nursing to sleep bc it’s easier to either safely take a nap with them or sneak out after they’re down.

@steviedj That’s awesome you’ve never used a disposable! Hoping I can keep up the same. Haven’t tried workhorses yet. I had a few Esembly fitteds that she grew out of and they were excellent for containing poop but not as absorbent for pees. Planning to bring her diaper bag as a carryon...

@brineheart Who knew farting was such a skill to master! Apparently newborns have a hard time both flexing their abs and relaxing their buttholes to be able to fart. Takes a while for them to figure it out, esp in their sleep. I wish I had recorded ours! I know it’s dark and you’re tired but...

@presubungi1981 I live in a super humid part of the island so anywhere is better than here! Just planning to rinse and line dry in between washes so that they don’t smell. Will use the dryer after doing a proper washing.

@bassgasmask I love spying on her when she thinks she’s alone…cute to see what she does when left to her own devices.

@_ajayy_2014 Good idea to scout the bathrooms ahead of time! I’ve heard some planes have bassinets at bulkhead seats, so if we get one of those might just be able to change her in there while she’s sleeping (at home she doesn’t wake up when I change her at night).

@lifeword Thanks for the vote of confidence! Good tip on the washer tabs.

@kagenonikki Good idea for stashing cloth in the stroller! We don’t have a stroller bag though… wondering if that’s something I should try to find before we go. It’s a 2nd hand stroller so I wasn’t really worried about it getting beat up. Just EBF poops so really not bad… and she only poops a...

@hawleyray We had a grunting farter! Wish I had recorded it but it was always late and dark. It was annoying but also cute and hilarious.

I know most people recommend using disposables for travel but I’ve never used them and don’t really want to start now. I’m committed to cloth so looking for travel tips from those who have also used cloth on big trips! We live in Hawaii and are doing a mainland tour to visit family for almost 3...

@hawk3093 Thank you that link was insightful. And study they linked to: “On the third day of the program, however, results showed that infants' physiological and behavioral responses were dissociated. They no longer expressed behavioral distress during the sleep transition but their cortisol...

@wings777 /r/bigbabiesandkids One of us! One of us! My baby was only 9 lbs 5 oz (98th%tile) but I also had no tearing! Homebirth in the water. She was crowning for almost an hour! But I knew going slow would prevent tearing. And my body was flooded w so much oxytocin I didn’t feel any pain...

@confusedbuthopeful I wear earplugs when taking naps w baby to drown out the sound of the 4 year old playing with daddy. It’s really good for blocking his high pitched voice. But I can still hear when my 4 month old makes little noises right next to me. Mommy senses tingling!

@the_creation_center I live in Hawaii. Have a linen Sakura Bloom Scout. Shaded forest hikes are the way not just bc of heat but to keep baby out of the sun. I can also hike on the beach bc it’s windy enough to stay cool, but I have to make sure baby is shaded (baby wears hat, pants and socks...

Does anyone else’s baby have a bald spot on the side where mommy sleeps/nurses at night? Just wanted to share because we’re seeing some success with the hair growing back on that side! Baby has slept to the left of me on our floor mattress since birth (as daddy sleeps on my right), so at night...

@wolfgang85 Oh I’ve been plenty rested all thru the newborn stage and we are at 4 months now! I was prepared for major sleep deprivation but that was not my experience at all. In fact I’ve never taken so many naps! I still nurse or change her a couple times a night and I barely notice it.
