    How do I break feeding to sleep association?

    @lionheartiv This is great advice. OP, there’s tons of advice here on how you should or shouldn’t sleep train. Ultimately the only way is to soothe baby without food. You’ll find what works for you. This is a great suggestion during that time. Please remember that sometimes they truly are just...

    Adoptive baby book? (T.W. Mama loss)

    @bruin I’ve used the short years and you could skip the chapters on “expecting” or you could include pictures of his birth mama. I bet they could make a few custom chapter pages for you too. You’re an incredible friend by the way and I think it’s beautiful you want him to have a baby book ❤️ I...

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

    @madscribbler When you feel yourself getting frustrated, talk to your baby. Say what’s on your mind. I remember one particularly long night where I just looked at my son and said, I’m so sorry. I want to help you sleep so badly. I don’t know what to do right now and I wish I did. We’ll figure...

    breastfeeding 2 day old

    @quangqui007 This is totally normal! Night 2 is the hardest and constant nursing is expected. Is baby meeting diaper goals? That’s your best sign that they’re getting what they need. My son was jaundice so they had me hand express colostrum after feeding incase they needed to record how much...

    I missed another first and I’m really sad about it

    @dezzy Aw I’m sorry. It is hard when you miss out on those special moments. I know it won’t be the first, but he’s going to have so much fun with you at that breakfast!

    My bonus was pro-rated to deduct my maternity leave

    @happymommyof4 That’s the thing, it’s a company wide bonus. My personal performance doesn’t factor in at all. I may look into the state laws, but I’m in Indiana so it’s pretty unlikely we’ll have a law that help a woman over a company

    My bonus was pro-rated to deduct my maternity leave

    @lindakaye49 His was deducted because he was 2 days over the limit. I just got off the phone with him and he’s working to make it right and feels horrible he didn’t warn me about this since he got burned in the past.

    My bonus was pro-rated to deduct my maternity leave

    @lindakaye49 That’s great she was able to do it! Apparently it in the general handbook but no one mentioned it when I started leave. My boss had to take an extended loa following and injury a few years ago so I’m curious if his was deducted too. He’ll be the first to admit our leaves are totally...

    No Screens Possible for Short Flight with 13 month old?

    @lostinthepast We flew with our 13 month old and never broke out the phones. Similar flight times to yours. He wanted to walk the aisles of the plane the whole time. Luckily it was a really smooth flight filled with baby loving passengers so he just made friends. Maybe it was rude of us to do...

    2 Demanding Jobs: Nanny or Daycare?

    @1stjohn0666 Those daycares sound rough. A lot open up with the toddler rooms. I wouldn’t switch for less than a fantastic daycare. They really don’t need social interaction with their peers until like 3. We’re switching from a meh nanny to a daycare we really love when he’s 2. Money played a...

    My bonus was pro-rated to deduct my maternity leave

    @cfpcharles55 So like if you worked all year but you’re out on leave the day the bonus check is cut, you don’t get any?
