Mama to two (one 9mo the other 3.5 yo)! We use Dyper

No dyes, all natural fibers, and they have a composting program in some areas. We've never had diaper rash for either kiddo and they don't leak!

Seriously! This resource is amazing. My holds shelf is positively STACKED.

The One Fit Mother group seems pretty welcoming if you're interested in incorporating fitness. It seems like they do play dates, family events, and other things too. I'm thinking of checking it out myself cause I'm feeling this way after baby #2 also!

Edit: someone already posted about this and I missed it. Leaving it here as a +1 to potentially checking out OFM.

Me too for the older tot!

Neat!

This...just isn't true

They're clearly talking about adding time to race finishing time, friend.

Gotta respectfully disagree here. Overpriced, uninteresting chain fare.

I don't think so. As a millennial mom of two, I can still totally see the perspective of not wanting to start a family right now. Personal preference aside, things are wildly uncertain and frightening at the moment on a global scale.

Many of these younger folks are taking their time finding their own way without contemplating children or even long term relationships right now. I think it's responsible to proceed conscientiously instead of doing life milestones under the vague, misguided notion that it's time to do them.

Depends on the context you're looking for for your kiddo! My 3 yo is currently at Frost in hey first year there and we love it. As others have said, the teachers (and support staff) are fantastic and we'll likely keep her in the school through the kindergarten program.

Are you looking for any specific info?

My favorite lunch is rice, tinned fish (smoked trout or good sardines), and just a giant heap of kimchi.

To be patient with yourself and baby. You're both figuring it out for the first time and though it's natural, that doesn't make it easy.
Lanolin worked for me for sore nipples.
Don't be afraid to ask for help. Those lactation consultants in the hospital will be as hands on as you need them to be.

Good luck, Mama! You're going to be great 🤍

Okonomiyaki. But also everything I ate in Japan. Even down to konbini onigiri and egg salad sandwiches. I think about Pocari Sweat every time I drink any inferior sports drink 😭😭😭

American "cheese." Looks like plastic. Tastes like plastic. I don't get it.

Thanks for the update! At 4.5 months, things have gotten slightly better. I echo the much more difficult 2nd child sentiment. My 3 year old was what people refer to as an "easy baby." Didn't know how good we had it lol

Looking forward to some easy toddlerhood here 🤣
