    My baby is obsessed with watching me eat

    @antnf8900 Mine too! I let her smell my food always and it’s so cute I get many different reactions, her favourites so far are broccoli and mandarin oranges… but she isn’t into toast haha or eggs. The other day I made a broccoli omelette and after smelling it she kind of squinted at me like… are...

    Toddler plates & bowls - Plastic? "Bamboo" (aka melamine)? Actual bamboo/wood? Something else? What does your family use?

    @tobiahjude99 Oh yes… they must be 😬 great! I hate that! 😂🤦🏻‍♀️ but for us she is probably old enough to use a regular plate for sure, she honestly just knows they’re hers and the part I like about them not being breakable is she gets them out at meal time and sets her spot. I’m sure she’s ready...

    Toddler plates & bowls - Plastic? "Bamboo" (aka melamine)? Actual bamboo/wood? Something else? What does your family use?

    @tobiahjude99 I went for bamboo because when she was growing out of silicone suction plates it was also the end of patio season so I got a nearly identical “patio” set for my daughter which looks like ours but is lighter. They’re dishwasher safe as well and she quite likes them. They were...

    Leaving toddler son w Grandma

    @2reshane Yes to all of this! Ask her if she could even bring something small and exciting - I don’t think that’s a lot to ask. A dollar store toy and a sucker is basically a way to buy happiness 😂

    Leaving toddler son w Grandma

    @everettorren My mom isn’t maternal in the slightest and I’ve worked hard to foster that quality. Do I think my mom makes the choices I would? No. Did she need reminders when my daughter was younger? Yes sometimes. But was my daughter ever not cared for or loved to the best of my mom’s ability...

    @pinkflower I fully agree on the better sleep once baby is here. For me it’s not true because (sorry) I’ve been sleeping totally fine, although I also have reflux and it’s so frustrating. I keep tweaking my diet and eventually I realized something as simple as butter was giving me reflux. BUT...

    What happens if I never sleep train my baby?

    @opinionsareopinions While we never coslept I had to rock her to sleep every night until recently. She’s now 27 months, and I’d say around 2 it changed from rocking to sleep to I could put her in her bed and rub her back. Now I can put her down sleepy and leave the room.

    Leaving toddler son w Grandma

    @kyotodragon It sounds like she’s left him with nanny and mom. Stronger bonds, yes, but at some point those were new people too. I don’t know if that qualifies as cold turkey

    What Cheerios-like cereal are you feeding your baby?

    @playthelyric After she was 1 - these because although they have cane sugar I felt like the other ingredients were so much better than any other cereal that I didn’t mind and could accept it. Shes 2.5 now and still loves them! She also likes the heritage flakes now!

    Under stimulated baby: is it concerning???

    @gust Yesss I totally agree and we are very similar. We’re both the eldest… haha ok I’m an only child so I’m also the youngest, but I think hubby grew up being very over scheduled between him and his sisters doing sports and friends etc that when he met me that’s when he realized how nicr it was...

    When did you stop tracking everything for baby (e.g., nursing sessions, wet/soiled diapers, sleep duration, etc.)?

    @christiangirl94 Tracking for me has been a game changer. It helped me see patterns I didn’t notice and somewhat know what to expect. Granted my girl is 6 weeks so I know it could change, but day to day the majority is the same. The amount of times as well that I’ve thought “I don’t know what’s...

    Under stimulated baby: is it concerning???

    @gust I totally agree, it’s super reassuring to see everyone say the same things and to say The environment is a good one! I too hope she can be an ambivert - I very much am!

    Am I in the wrong?

    @swapnaamanna It sounds like your relationship with her is okay. I’d sit her down and say something like “Hubby told me something that broke my heart…. You don’t feel like a proper grandma. It makes me so sad to hear that. I want you to know that i trust you and want you to feel like grandma...

    Under stimulated baby: is it concerning???

    @lissieee Haha I mean, I of course have an opinion that’s very different, but I also try to remind myself that people don’t know what they don’t know haha 😛

    Under stimulated baby: is it concerning???

    @quigonj I totally agree and felt that way, I just didn’t know if I was basically “stunting” what she would be able to deal with as a child. As in I don’t want her to not be able to go to a birthday because 5 kids is too many and there’s too much noise. That can be alot but I don’t want her to...

    What are you getting your kids for Christmas?

    @carolny Ahhh another JB lover 🥰 I love them quite a lot! And it’s cool to share something I remember loving as a kid. I’ve got to add gingerbread baby to my list! I hope you can pick up tree, it’s so cute. The peek a boo spot is an owl, who disappears for 1-2 pages in the winter part of the...

    What are you getting your kids for Christmas?

    @robertharris For books for the 2.5 year old my daughter LOVES the ones by Britta Teckentrup. I think the illustrations are nice but not peak beauty like some books haha but that could be preference. Im very picky with the art in books though. The reason we love them: there’s a peak through...

    Maternity clothes

    @torn12 Also to add just echoing the maternity pants and jeans. If the band is a roll up kind it’ll go to your boobs and I had a black pair of jeans I loved. The “denim” was kinda low rise so if I wore it in combo with some shirts the band would show but the black on black made it not noticeable
