@victoriala108 I think it’s really valuable to have husband be the full time sole caretaker for a chunk of time. I’ve seen friends do staggered leaves, so dad takes over when mom goes back to work, and I think it really sets you up well for a more egalitarian parenting approach. My husband is...

@jthree With my first, I wanted to wait to introduce a pacifier because I had heard about nipple confusion. She was colicky and just screamed nonstop. About 3 days in, when I was truly close to losing my mind because of sleep deprivation and constant screaming, I went down the rabbit hole and...

@twinsxtwo I don’t think they sell it anymore. It was a wool coat with a fuzzy liner that could be removed. I wore it a lot my daughter’s first year (5 months to 8 months or so) and some her second year (17 months to 20 months). The seraphine coats are beautiful quality and I’m looking forward...

@1stjohn0666 I think the best thing from a marriage perspective is to try so, so hard to have equal amounts of leisure time. Balancing the parenting tasks and the work is so hard, and it becomes just about impossible to keep things “fair”. But at the end of the day, the real resentment comes...

@ladycherise63 I have a lovely seraphine coat that’s lasted me several winters and babies. I also have a lighter fleece jacket that allows back wearing from Suse’s Kinder (bought on Amazon).

@1stjohn0666 How much longer is residency? I was in a super similar situation— had my first kid about a year before husband finished a surgical specialty residency. I’m a lawyer and at that point I was in BigLaw, working long, intense hours. But because my job was technically more flexible and...

@aishaaa If you walk a lot, a babywearing jacket is great. Would highly recommend. So much easier to get baby on and then just throw a coat over both of you, rather than fussing with little mittens, etc. My first was born in Chicago, and we walked the dog every day, even when it was really...

@afolkytouch My feet went up a half size in both pregnancies, but shrunk back to their regular size postpartum. Hang on to your shoes for now— this could be temporary.

@mannyman I honestly don’t think this guy warranted more than your brief mumbling. My in laws are retired doctors, and they have all sorts of random advice/criticisms that just have no merit.
