@solidengr My oldest just after my second was born, so really squishy postpartum belly, crawled into my lap, snuggled into my belly and said something like "I love your squish squish squish belly, it's soft for naps" I cried from the innocence and love. But I also cried from how squishy my...

@kitsoni I used to live in a Latin American country and basically every single family with young babies like ours had around a 10-11 bedtime and a 9-10 wake up. We weren't used to that schedule so we were happy with early bed and early wake up. I think it depends on the rhythm of the...
