    Family making inappropriate comments about my baby

    @obedientsacrifice Shut. This. Down. Now. You are NOT overreacting. They are being disgusting and wholly inappropriate. They are perpetuating a cycle of sexualizing girls and it is not okay. You know it's not okay. Please please please protect your daughter from these people- this is not normal...

    10-month-old wakes up 3-5 times a night

    @dennyissmith Same situation and the only thing that worked was sending dad in. Yes, bb put up a HUGE fuss that it was dad and there was no milk but eventually he got over it and now that it's dad doing the wakeups (aka no nursing at night) he doesn't wake up as much. Before when I was nursing...

    Currently over here sleep-deprived and questioning every parenting decision I've made... Send help!

    @pickledcarrots Our baby is 9.5 mo and is EBF. Sleep training hadn't work for us and I was waking every 2hrs to nurse since birth- Until 10 days ago when DH and I decided to send him in when baby cried instead of me.

    How often do you get pushed over the edge and what do you do to stay calm?

    @ajewelinhiscrown Times like that when I know I'm on a deadline I'd set a timer on my phone. Before giving them more balloons I would tell them I set a timer for 5 min and I'd tell them my expectations when the timer goes off. Then once the timer goes off I'd announce we're all done, then give...

    Regretting decisions made re: pregnancy

    @greengrace As an outsider you 100% made the RIGHT decision. Of course you could say "what if circumstances were different, what if my mental health was better, what if there wasn't a global pandemic, etc" but whatifs are just another form of anxiety eating at your mind. Your mental health comes...

    Does your working partner help overnight?

    @mamastitch I'm embarrassed to say that we did this when he was 2yo... Maybe 2.5yo! Ugh that's so late and I know it's so late. Honestly we could've done this around 1-1.5yo but mentally I couldn't stand hearing him cry and I felt... Weirdly guilty asking my husband to help at night while he was...

    Does your working partner help overnight?

    @mamastitch So I was giving him milk at night and doing all night time shifts (which was 1-2hrs every night since birth!) so we went cold turkey. We told him no more milk at night and papa would be getting up with him. I knew he would wake up and cry and I couldn't let him "cry it out" bc I'm...

    Does your working partner help overnight?

    @daisy83 We really depend on my husband to maintain his A game at work so I do the nighttime shift until it's time to night wean. Once it's time to night wean he's completely in charge of the nights (handles all the wake ups and doesn't give milk). When we night weaned our older one he put up a...
