moms

Im almost 3 weeks PP with my sweet baby boy. Labor wasn’t terrible so I’m healing rather quickly. My partner and I are actively working on reconnecting due to personal circumstances where he was not present for the last 3 months of my pregnancy which caused our sex life to sink tremendously...

I had a 32 week sonogram today and everything looks good with baby except they said she’s measuring really big. 5.5lbs. They want me to come in for heartrate monitoring weekly and another ultrasound in 3 weeks. I just KNOW they’re going to push for an induction at some point. With my first I was...

How does anyone have time or energy to devote to their significant other after their kid goes to bed? From 8:30-10pm I’m basically just a couch potato because I’m in denial that I should go to bed since I’m already exhausted. I feel like I’m doing well on the mom front and terrible on the wife...

My child is 3.5 and always reverses "you" and "me." We had him evaluated by the local public school team and they said this isn't considered a problem till age 4. Still, my partner is insisting on trying to teach him by correcting him when he calls himself "you." I feel like we should just wait...

My poor 3 month old squish has eczema all over his legs and torso and even behind his ears. It doesn’t seem to be really bothering him right now but it’s hard to tell. He’ll have his next pediatrician appt in early January but I’m trying to figure out what else I can do until then. Currently I...

I’m a FTM. What are some registry items that are a must have and some I can skip? I know opinions can vary but find these and y’all’s input so helpful.

I do not understand how working parents with multiple kids do this. Our son is our only and started preschool. He got sick Saturday with a fever and congestion. Monday I take him to his pediatrician, it’s not strep or covid so we get to ride it out. Fast forward to Wednesday, the fever is gone...

My 2yo has outgrown suction plates. I have long needed to get him actual toddler plates, cups, and bowls. I was resisting buying plastic. I don't know why. On Amazon I saw "bamboo" platewear. Perfect! I hit buy. I love them! Soft colors, kinda like plastic but have a much nicer porcelain-like...

It seems like online and offline I can’t escape from this shit. I know we look like a fucking circus getting out of our car. I know there are a lot of us. I was out at the grocery store yesterday. DH and I have triplet girls (4) and a 9 y/o DS (and the story is in my post history) and we’re...

Jesus Christ ! I’m tired 😭😭 I feel so defeated . Ready to throw in the towel with my breast feeding journey. My son is not sleeping through the night waking every 2hours if NOT HOURLY! I’m E X H A U S T E D. I dread hearing him cry when he wakes. It’s just me and him so it’s not like I can hand...

I have a 20 month old and a 13 day old.. currently on maternity leave and my toddler is continuing to go to daycare during the day to keep his sense of normal but.. what do I do with the 13 day old? He is starting to have wake windows now, and I just have 0 memory of what I did during the wake...

Some background… I live in the US. My daughter will turn 5 this summer. The cut off date for the kindergartens where I live is Sept 30. She is currently in her second year of preschool. She did a half day program last year and she’s doing a full day program this year. Her class has 15 kids and I...

My 1 year old loves to crawl in our yard and get his hands and feet dirty. My landlord fertilized the entire yard and I'm assuming the chemicals wouldn't be safe to play in...at what point would it be safe again?

I saw the pajama post and it reminded me to ask: does anyone know of wool, oekotex cotton, or linen nightgowns for little girls? Size 5 and 7. They dream of long, flowy white nightgowns—that Clara in the Nutcracker look—but the only ones sold in the U.S. are polyester and/or have flame...

I ended up buying the babycare playmat since it was nontoxic. And honestly I got tired of going down the rabbit hole and trusted what it said on Amazon and other website. But I finally got it and the chemical smell is so strong! The reviews are pretty mixed on this. Anyone else have this...

We did a bowel clean out after getting to the point she was also only pass large stools once a week. It worked but now we’re on the maintenance phase which requires her to drink 5-8 oz of water with Miralax in it. She still nurses. I don’t want to wean yet. She will only drink 2-3 oz of...

I’m looking for a special gift for my one year old for her birthday. The gift guides I’m reading aren’t that compelling. What did your babies like between 12-16 months old? I’m hoping to get her a toy or toys (not clothes, or any necessities).

I was unable to avoid a c-section so I started LO on Lovebug probiotics shortly after birth to try to restore some of that microbiome they missed on the way out. We are approaching the 1 year mark and I was wondering how long to continue the probiotics? The Lovebug line has a product for 0-6...

I’m curious to hear ppl’s opinions and experiences.

I hope intro posts are okay here - I just learned about this sub from another momming sub and holy crap I think I was made to be here, or this place was made for me to be in it, or something something you guys are the anemone to my clownfish. Cloth diaperer, babywearer...
