    Pregnant again 5 months postpartum

    @rubbersoul My MIL got pregnant with my SIL at five months PP. she said it was actually not as hard of a transition as 0-1 was! So don’t think it will inevitably be horrible!!! She utilized sleep training my husband before the baby and formula from day one. She said she did not have the...

    Confused about sleep and formula

    @jluponeage I’m just not really sure what else we can try but am open to try literally anything. We’ve done a bath-bedtime routine since day one. Dark room, white noise, we’ve found the optimal temperature she likes, the best sleep sack for her, I feel sure she’s not overtired or undertired...

    Is this a bad reason?

    @dvz I had always planned on 2, but debilitating morning sickness made me kind of change my mind — plus kids are so expensive when they get older. But I’m like you, unsure, but really don’t want my child to not have a sibling when my husband and I die.

    Is this a bad reason?

    @dvz I could’ve written this post myself. I just want to say, my dad died when I was 19 and my mom while I was pregnant. It’s also a factor in why I’m considering having another. People say it’s a bad reason, but I really don’t think it is. It’s a really awful feeling sitting in a chair watching...

    @elizabeda777 Yes we definitely follow safe sleep 7 when she is with me. But it still makes me feel anxious…

    @kywy I struggle to remember my daughter’s. I struggle with numbers in general.

    Confused about sleep and formula

    I’m a little confused about research surrounding infant sleep and formula. I’m reading that it has been debunked that formula fed babies sleep longer. But the reason that breast milk — even when exclusively pumped — is protective against SIDS is because the formula sits longer on the stomach and...

    Who here has a mediocre relationship with their sibling(s)?

    @ernesjohnson I have three. Two I have mediocre relationships with. We don’t talk. One I’m super close to. My husband has two sisters and they all have mediocre relationships with each other. Not great odds. Lol.

    Anyone want more kids but OAD was ultimately the right choice?

    @leonardod We’re torn and completely heartbroken right now. We want two. We cry about it. I work on Saturdays. No village, just my husband and I. I can’t take time off from my career being full time forever. So we kind of need to decide in the next few months. Logically, OAD seems to be the best...

    Close call this morning but can’t figure out how

    @porcelainchild OP, I highly recommend ditching the sleep sack. Sleep sacks are fine for crib sleep, but they do slightly hinder movement. When bedsharing, you don’t want ANYTHING to hinder your baby’s ability to move around, even a little. Go for some warmer pjs if you’re worried about getting...

    SAHPs, I Keep Messing Up and I'm Embarrassed. I Need to Fix This

    @ajewelinhiscrown Honey, you’re doing fine!!!! Sounds like you are doing a really great job juggling a really tough stage of life. I can’t even count how many times I’ve ruined a LOAD of laundry by washing lipstick. You are not stupid! Also, missing an activity is nbd. Seriously, stop swearing...
