    How do night shifts work with a newborn?

    @perfectlove25 I can’t speak to the breastfeeding/pumping part as we formula fed happily by choice from pretty much the beginning. BUT shifts worked tremendously for us. Having that 6 hours of uninterrupted sleep every night was a sanity saver and really really helped me recover from my...

    No body told me that at 6 months old my baby would go from potato to x games mode

    @monsieurhauddennifels Hahahaha YES!! Almost 5.5 months and all that you said. I was telling my husband this morning if she could run she would. Her little legs never stop. Tummy time? Legs kicking. Back time? Legs kicking. In my arms? Wiggling like crazy.

    How do I emotionally survive my 4 mo’s shots?

    @davidschmitt My baby was distraught and so miserable the night of her 2 month shots. Shes 13 months now and not a single shot has had a negative effect on her and she’s fully vaccinated! Even the two dose flu shot… nothing.

    How much are y'all paying for babysitters/daycare per week ?

    @987abc United States. Middle cost of living here. Daughter is just over a year. We pay $285/week for a well respected daycare center. They’re open 5 days per week from 7am to 6pm. She goes 4 days per week from 8am-4pm. They feed her an amazing breakfast, lunch, and snack while there.

    No one takes birth trauma and current financial state seriously

    @robertgreen92301 Oh my god. I would love for someone to make those comments to me. I’d full on trauma dump on them and guarantee they’d change their minds. F people that think every birth is as traumatic as the next.

    Started the journey on 12/12! Already feel like a bad mom/partner. Help? 🥲

    @pletharoe 6 days in I (a typically very unemotional person) was crying to my husband that “I don’t like doing things I’m not good at and I don’t feel like I’m good at this being a mom thing.” I was convinced I was doing everything wrong. I too had a c-section and even with the meds I was in...

    4m/o exposed to covid-need breastmilk help

    @edmerch1984 This was exactly the case for our family as well. My daughter has been EFF and it barely phased her. An ear infection has been 10x worse than COVID was on her.

    Does this sound like a reasonable and or normal to you life of a stay at home mom to a 2.5 year old?

    @xeonome Just because he pays for everything doesn’t mean he’s excluded from all parental duties. Our agreement is while he is at work, the home and our baby is my full time job. But once he gets home we split responsibilities 50/50. He gets home around 5:30pm, I try to have dinner ready, we...

    Is it weird? Nipple size

    @wrennelson143 All babies are different so definitely not weird! But if you’re wanting to try to move up there is actually a “T” nipple size (means “transition”) between premie and 1. We were on the T size for months!

    Is this a stupid idea (running related Q)

    @mhbb2 Fellow runner here and I wouldn’t recommend it. My doctor was pretty adamant no new forms of exercise or increase in training during pregnancy. That seems to be the common recommendation in this subreddit as well. Bet you could walk that 8k and still beat quite a few people!!

    3 week old’s feedings taking 1.5-2 hours

    @flyingfoamies I was thinking upping the nipple size may help. If your using doctor browns try the “T” nipple. It may be taking so long because he is having to work so hard he gives up and falls asleep. And he may be taking in a lot of air while struggling.

    Make your dental appointments

    @p8089 Oh for sure. My mom had me at 25 and my sister at 27… by 29 she needed so many teeth pulled on the top they just took them all and gave her a denture. No dental issues prior to pregnancy, but apparently we just wrecked her teeth. Made me terrified. I went during my first trimester, third...
