    Got an 'answer' for my "next level" velcro baby. I was too stressed while pregnant.

    @nazpastor That couldn’t be true. My baby is 5 weeks beyond yours, I was immeasurably stressed because I have anxiety and I’m a worrier, and my baby has flagrant independence. Worry is often an observed and adopted trait. My girl will slowly become more anxious as a toddler as all toddlers...

    PTSD after discharge, when did you feel better?

You should ask yourself why you covet cigarette smoke above a brand new life.” We have similar thing where a senior family member is...

    What is one thing you learned/one thing nobody warned you about?

    @carson I didn’t know what a NICU was until my baby was taken there moments after my c-section.

    Comments about baby’s weight

    @smartiesrich These comments are also somewhat damaging. My girl is not a “rolly polly” she is skinny despite eating 25+ Oz a day of bottled breast milk (her comfort MAX) and cereal. Saying they’re “supposed to” implies that skinny babies aren’t healthy when they ARE it’s just all their calories...
