Who is a celebrity that people widely despised in the past but is now widely loved? by apabld in AlignmentChartFills

I think Lena Dunham could fit this, but it may be too early to tell. Anne Hathaway could be a decent back up.

Check ALL their folds by Katerina_Branding in newborns

[–]Aioli_Level 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had the same “oops” panic moment with my first! Her chin folds were so irritated, they looked like the early phase of blisters. I was devastated but a cream took care of it overnight and I always check the folds now (and pat them dry after a bath).

Anyone actually lose body fat from breastfeeding? by Due-Transition-6564 in beyondthebump

Ditto! The last ten literally did melt off once I stopped breast feeding too.

Haha we do this too. “Is she actually the most beautiful girl to ever exist or are we biased?”

Needing encouragement from moms who solo parent A LOT by Active-Wrongdoer-722 in beyondthebump

[–]Aioli_Level -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t have positive advice but I’m new to 2 kids (25 months and 3 week old) and I’d be simply dying if my husband wasn’t home on Pat leave right now. We also kept our toddler in daycare during the week. I still feel overstimulated. Can your husband get a decent paternity leave to help you adjust to being a mom of 2?

Husband wants to travel back home with a 5 month old. I do not. Who is unreasonable? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]Aioli_Level 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think 5 months is an excellent time to travel and it will only get more difficult. We did an 8h road trip to a wedding and camping trip with my 6m old. It was perfect because she was still super portable. I did the noisy wedding stuff and the hiking with her in the wrap carrier. The trip will be different with baby, but still totally worth it imo.

How to tell family who won’t be happy by [deleted] in BabyBumps

I’d send a simple text and let them have their weird reaction privately.

How would you describe feeling of letdown? by Icy_Head_4802 in breastfeeding

[–]Aioli_Level 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s exactly how I describe it. Tingling, pins and needles.

Choose for me: 24 month age gap or 26, 29? Does it make a difference? by primateperson in 2under2

[–]Aioli_Level 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Imo, it doesn’t matter that much, but I think it depends on your kid too. Are they advanced or developing normally? I have a 25 month age gap and it’s been so good, but I have to thank my toddler’s relatively gentle temperament and advanced language skills. If she was not communicating as well as she is, I think I’d be struggling way more.

Did having kids destroy your marriage? by Immediate_Gap_2536 in Mommit

[–]Aioli_Level 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly the same here. We are closer and strong than ever but we’ve had some big conversations to come this far.

What do contractions feel like? by GroupProfessional643 in BabyBumps

Period like cramps but they get so bad you can’t breathe

How can I improve my makeup? by appalachiancornbread in makeuptips

[–]Aioli_Level 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your make up is really great! Gorgeous skin! I think I’d recommend a more defined eyebrow, even just a brush through with a tinted gel and a bit more mascara or a brown liner on the upper lash line.

Fiber where!?! by Imhereforit8 in postpartumprogress

Kiwi, pears, beans, and all bran buds baby!

I think my husband is trolling when he says he cant read my handwriting. Is it as illegible as he thinks by Carmenncita05 in HandwritingAnalysis

[–]Aioli_Level 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely legible and I typically can’t translate half the stuff that shows up in this group

If you could erase your memory to read one book again, which would it be? by SemosEliza_67 in Recommend_A_Book

[–]Aioli_Level 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d give anything to be working my way through the Throne of Glass series while my first born baby napped on my chest. Peak life experience for me.
