Taking a Poll

[g19shooter]

Taking a poll to make us moms all feel better. I feel like social media shows us perfect babies and perfect moms most of the time and sometimes that’s makes me feel like I’m failing bc my baby isn’t doing that!

Give me your “mom fail” moments we can all relate to.

@g19shooter At 11 weeks I still wear pjs every day and my hair has not left messy bun status except for the day we took newborn photos.

 

[g19shooter]

@johnny1217 Literally same sometimes I go two days without changing my clothes yikes on me

 

[johnny1217]

@g19shooter Nope right there with you lol. Baby comes first and I could not care less what I look like

@johnny1217 I do messy Dutch braids. Less tangles to deal with when I get around to undoing the braid and brushing it.

 

[northcarolinian]

@kfelger1 I’d do Dutch braids if I could

 

[johnny1217]

@kfelger1 Very wise! I definitely get matted if I don’t force myself to brush it every day

 

[sueann1205]

@kfelger1 I like to do braids too when I have a few minutes to do my hair.

@johnny1217 10 weeks pp here and Samesies!! I’ve worn jeans once (the baggy and loose fitting ones), I put on makeup once for my husband’s birthday dinner, and I really only put on a bra when I’m leaving the house and will be gone for at least an hour.

@johnny1217 Me as well.

 

[grace2beme]

@g19shooter Not a fail but reality - baby is 11 weeks on Tuesday and we still don’t sleep well. Maybe 3 hour stretches at most.

 

[johnny1217]

@grace2beme Right there with you

 

[simonbarkoziba]

@grace2beme i can count on one hand the number of times my 16wk old has slept longer than 3 hours at night

 

[scottusn06]

@grace2beme exaxtly the same here!

 

[lovemyangel]

@g19shooter My 7 wo LO pees on himself at least once a day while I change his diaper.

 

[holeyoli]

@lovemyangel Not sure if you have tried this but a quick swipe of a cold wet wipe under his belly button before you take off his nappy seems to help

I started doing this after the second time my boy peed on his own face!

 

[sadiegrace]

@lovemyangel once i took off my LO diaper and he immediately peed i couldn’t even grab a towel to react fast enough, there was pee on his head lol.

 

[johnny1217]

@lovemyangel My baby peed EVERYWHERE at the pediatrician for his first weight check the walls, the floor, on himself and his dad. It was quite an event.

 

[notyouraveragejoe]

@lovemyangel Haha my girl loves to pee after i takr out the diaper, i tried the wet wipes hack and wait, doesn't work..
I take the diaper out and be ready for the pee, she doesn't pee, i staythere for 2-3 mins she doesn't pee..
I clean her then, and the one little second i take off the dirty diaper from beneath her to put the other she makes her pee party

@g19shooter still wearing my ratty button up nightgowns unless i need to leave the house. tummy time? barely done. crumbs all over his head because i have to eat while holding him. wake windows? what are those? we’re over here winging it! we also don’t have a bedtime routine yet outside of changing him into nighttime jammies and saying it’s bedtime…
