    Do you tell your pediatrician you’re bedsharing ?

    @person47 Mine has never asked about where the baby sleeps, but i’m 100% up front and unapologetic. I think it’s important to bring awareness and make it a mainstream thing 🤷🏻‍♀️ However, my ped is also an IBCLC and it’s a pretty crunchy practice. I’ve been up front from day 1 that we aren’t...

    What do you tell your pediatrician about sleep?

    @yoshinat0r I’m honest with them 🤷🏻‍♀️ I don’t mind taking the flak, and I feel like i can hold my own if they get confrontational (which has never happened.) I’m hoping by openly talking about it, i can make it more mainstream and less of a crazy crunchy mom thing lol. They usually ask...

    Switching to fitteds (Esembly) at 8 months old?

    @britxleir Thanks! And good to know that they should hopefully last us through potty training. I will have to keep an eye out for the sales… I don’t mind splurging on some now, but as a FTM i didn’t want to spend a ton of money up front before baby even arrived lol. One more question— do you...

    Help me wean my baby and release guilt

    @keeley120 yeah i should’ve clarified in my comment… i was only mentioning because i didn’t want OP to be surprised when they still end up spending 4 hr/day on bottle feeding, since it sounded like that was one of their reasons for wanting to switch. (i know babies can drink from a bottle faster...

    Switching to fitteds (Esembly) at 8 months old?

    Baby is 8 months old/18 lbs, and we are just now getting back into cloth diapers after a short break due to our childcare situation. We started out using Thirsties Duowrap covers with a mix of prefolds, a few flats, and preflats, and that worked great for the early days. We also have some...

    Help me wean my baby and release guilt

    @annyfins Ugh i also had a bad midwife experience (although i think mine was more laziness vs incompetence on the midwife’s part 🙃), so i can kinda feel your pain! no advice on the weaning part, but wanted to chime in that i don’t think 4 hours/day is abnormal at that age? I also had a tongue...

    We can’t bed share because my baby is formula fed? Explain

    @chenml60 I don’t have a link for it, but I remember reading a study when I was pregnant that found EBF babies are “better” at keeping their noses cleared from a surface because they’re used to doing it when they nurse (moving themselves to keep nose clear from breast tissue so they can breathe...
