@omadaze I totally understand. I felt the exact same way. Ran myself into the ground making sure my baby never cried more than like 30 seconds for the first 14 months of her life. I think what broke me of feeling this way was hitting the tantrum stage at around 18 months. I reframed how I saw...

@cuteness20 I had no problem with underwires once I measured myself properly and got a better quality bra. If it sits properly then it doesn't press in the wrong places and cause issues.

@poppa51 I don’t see that you did anything wrong, this could be a safety issue. I obsessively studied about how to safely baby wear before doing so, but if I hadn’t and I was doing something wrong, I would love if a mom gently and respectfully corrected me, as it sounds like you did to this mom...

@nectarius That’s rough! I’m so sorry, and actually I come from a similar background, I’m American too, but my husband is from a tiny country in South Asia. My entire family is very toxic and abusive so we do not speak to them, and we mostly hang out with people from my husband’s country or...

@kristyrh Good lord, this was hard to even read, I felt my blood pressure rising with every freaking sentence. This is just so cruel. I can’t even imagine what other parenting decisions they are inflicting on this poor kid if this is how they operate. If they were not receptive to anything...

@manga006 Least favorite - cluster feeding for 8 hours at a time. Most favorite - when she first smiled. It was the start of her evolution from lil’ potato to interactive baby. 😆

@bigskyguy76 I always say that if it is important enough for people to see your kid, they will find a way. Especially under 1 year and having a valid reason to not bring baby to them, which you absolutely have a valid reason. If they really want great grandma to spend time, they'll find a way to...

@wwwhhh You have Boomers in your life receptive to this? That would like actually read a book or listen to a podcast if you asked them to educate themselves with it? Sorry, if this is the case, my mind is blown. lol.

@samie My baby is about the same age. We've never been apart for more than a few hours. I still breastfeed too (no pumping or bottle. Just boob. lol). You are not being crazy and unreasonable at all. Forgetting about breastfeeding for a second, even if you weren't, 2 weeks is a really long time.

@cubcadetlover She's with me. Probably will be for a long time. 😆

@opinionsareopinions Most of the world doesn't even know what sleep training is or thinks it is a crazy concept if they did hear about it. Your kid will be fine if you don't sleep train. I didn't do any. My girl was the worst sleeper her first year, then at 13 months she miraculously started...

@aussiebanana That's what I thought at first too!!! I'm a side sleeper, so I figured how different could the C -curl be. But one day I slept while my husband had the baby. I slept normally, and it was like yeah, it's totally the position. 😆

@rocknroll15 I don't remember exactly, but somewhere near 9 months. One thing that helped me was a foam pillow between my legs to take some of the pressure off the lower back and hips. The pain was so bad from C-curl. I'd wake up every morning feeling like I'd been hit by a truck, like full...

@phaeton So profoundly sad. And even sadder that it is so mainstream. In most parenting and mom subs comments like this would be downnvoted to oblivion and argued with. It is so common here in the US that I've noticed people don't ask "if" you're sleep training, they ask "when". As someone who...
