2nd Baby

Does anyone have any advice on how to prepare a 2.5yr old boy for the incoming for a sibling? 😅 He is a very clingy and energetic little thing, I think he will find it quite hard. He doesn’t understand what a brother or sister is yet. Does anyone have any book recommendations, or ways to explain what is going…

Bougie water

Anyone else try this water? I would love to buy cases of this because I don’t want any more plastic bottles but it’s $35 a case for 12 liters 😭😭😭 I’m hoping to level up and be able to afford these…it tastes like Eternal water but more pure and I believe due to it not being in plastic, one plastic gallon of spring…

Switching to bigger bottles

Anyone have to switch baby bottle sizes yet? I think my bb needs to move to 5 oz, I originally was using slow feed avent bottles the small glass ones at 4 oz, I have one bottle that is plastic avent and is larger, thing is I don’t even know what bottle that one was lol. Just the brand not the type, any recommendations?

I don’t drink casually or frequently but when I do, I often get drunk and I’m wanting to at this party. I’m a lightweight so this could mean I only need a few drinks. Because of this I plan to sle...

Hello, I am looking to see your routines with your babies. I have a 4 month old and I would like to be a bit more "strict" with times instead of him ruling everything! Would you mind sharing your routines (feeding, naps, play time...)? Thanks!

2 under 2

Those with 2 under 2.. how are you coping? My 17 month old is pretty demanding at all times so my 10 week old has zero routine compared to when my daughter was this age.
