Full bed or crib? Can’t decide!!

Future first time mama to a July baby! I have nursery furniture coming tomorrow and the crib we are getting also turns into a full sized bed.

Not listening

So what do you parents do when your child simply just refuses to listen to ANYTHING . My daughter is 10 and I was window shopping going to buy her a smart watch . I asked my daughter if she liked it and wanted one and if she’d keep it on and not take it off . Then she asks if she can play the games on it during rece...

How to stop breast pumping

I go back to work on the 14th and don’t want to deal with breast pumping at work. It’s just too much of a headache honestly. But I’m not sure how to *stop* breast pumping. I assume I can’t do it cold turkey? I leak too much if I go too long without pumping. Do I just space it out longer and longer until I don’t need...

When does it get better?

I had an emergency c-section in December and I'm trying so hard to be positive but I hate my section self. I think it looks horrific on me. It's not my body and I find it really repulsive. I was a size 18 before pregnancy but I've lost all the weight I gained in pregnancy plus more and it just keeps looking worse an...

Completely cut out caffeine…probably should have done it sooner.

My LO is 4.5 months old and is EBF. Starbucks Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso has a chokehold on me. I would get a 1/2 caf once and while and would notice, without fail, my LO would be a fuss bucket the next day. So I was just drinking one cup of chai in the morning since it was a more mellow caffeine (from what...

Feeding issue

Is anyone else nipples really sore. I am 3 weeks and 3 days postpartum. I am expressing the milk then giving it to my baby through a bottle. I am currently finding after expressing every 2 hours that my nipples are so sore that when it's time to pump again it hurts. I only have it on level 1 atm as that's all I can ...

Domperiodone

Hi ladies! I have been exclusively pumping for 6.5 months. My supply has slowly dropped but now I'm lucky to get 10oz a day. I've tried the vitamins, cookies, power pumping, nothing worked. I'm considering domperiodone but it seems to have some wicked side effects. Plus with a 6 Month old, I think ill find it hard t...

Baby rolling over at night

So I've had to move my boy (5 months old) into his cot tonight, he's outgrown both of his moses baskets, extremely cramped in them both and I don't co-sleep through the night due to my disability. I'm worried because he can roll back to front but not front to back, and he likes to just lie face down?. He has put h...

I dreamed of this with my first baby, but now that I have it , I still have anxiety

After my first baby 2.5 years ago I struggled BAD with milk supply issues. Just when I thought I could build a stash, my milk production levels would drop so low I had to use the milk I just froze that week. Latching? Forget about it, Supplementing with formula? Sounded cool but my daughter would throw up and become...

When did your baby start walking?

My son is nearly 15 months and my pediatrician said if they’re not walking then it’s cause for worry. He takes maybe 5-6 steps then wants to crawl. Hes been doing that since 12m. Does anyone have some tips so I can help him out?
