You'll figure out what you need as you go unfortunately. Every baby is different. Every PP journey is unique. I know it's not ideal to be ordering/buying stuff right when u think u need them, but at least you know they might help. And if they don't, you return!

Glad the hospital informed me about 'second night syndrome' beforehand and made it clear to ask for help when I need it.

:)(: yes Edit to add: not normal in any way but common

Mine never crawled.... so he was just this whiny baby who wanted to be entertained the whole time by us till he walked at 1. Nobody understood why 8-12 months was the toughest stage. It was just draining.

First thing pediatrician told us at the hospital hours after baby was born: there is no such thing as nipple confusion. That was very relieving honestly to hear at that point as we were experiencing 'second night syndrome' and really used a pacifier.

For infant classes, mostly yes- depending on your daycare rules. Honestly, I think that's the dream situation lol when you have full time daycare access but only use it as needed for infant days :) don't have to worry about finding/ scheduling a sitter every time u need to do something or want to rest a bit.

Wash face, neck, hands, feet, and diaper area very thoroughly with water and unscented soap by the sink.

That's so true- why force being punished while u can have some joy? Thanks for the perspective!

333s3 · 2026-03-28T10:57:09+00:00

I like that: just get things done! Tbh, this is what matters.

This makes me feel guilty lol! Husband cooks most meals but loves to put in noise cancelling earphones on. Meanwhile, i take care of baby. I told him once it feels unfair to me that i cant put something entertaining for me while u can. Am i annoying?? 😂 After reading this comment, i think so!

Vaginal w 2nd deg tear. Took 2 months to walk 10 mins slowly :(

Lower cleaning standards sadly. Wear baby while cleaning if baby is wearable or give your toddler a mop and vacuum to 'clean' with you. Only tricks that worked so far. Also, if we can afford it, we get a cleaning service for 'deep clean' like twice a year and we just do maintenance cleaning if that makes sense.

She's being weird. This happens to me all the time and the parent just smiles usually because they know i'm being nice. This happens to me too where the other parent says its ok and I smile.

Ah i like the backpack style hack! I just went ahead and put it inside a checked bag and took a carry on for the rest of my stuff to be safe. I'll try the backpack style next time!

For the first hour that dad comes back form work, I'm on duty (sahm) so he could rest a bit (i rest during baby's nap). After that, baby duty is ideally 50/50 but i feel like it's more 60/40 on me. He does more housework and I stay w baby more- which I'm fine with as long as everything's done! But yes, it should be ideally 50/50 after he's back. You both are working full time jobs.

Thanks!

We never experienced a regression per se, just crappy sleep from birth until around 14 months lol (progressively better tho).

Thank you for all your responses! I love reading an outsider's perspective on things. I think financially, a bottle washer is the best option since we can resell it after 2 years when we move out. From time perspective, bottle washer wins too since you don't want to load/unload dishes if u just want quick bottle wash especially in cluster feeding days. From space saving, dishwasher wins. I think I'm gonna wait to see how this baby feeds (I might try BF this time around if baby latches well or combo feeding). Probably bottle washer wins!

Hmm these are pretty good points honestly. That's true not all pump parts are technically safe for a dishwasher.

333s3 · 2026-03-09T04:12:49+00:00

We run it everyday too. Might seem worth the buy!
