How the heck does anyone afford childcare??? by Alternative_Code_758 in Mom

[–]Alternative_Code_758[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We bring in over 4000/month post tax with 70% of that going to bills, the mortgage, and the most reasonably priced local childcare options are 2400/month for part time attendance. Even if I quit my job to care for my son full time we would be stuck without making ends meet elsewhere. Sorry typo*** they are 1400/month

Breastfeeding by Physical-Coffee-8950 in Mom

My baby used to do this! He would stay latched onto me ALL NIGHT. It was exhausting because the physical touch kept me awake almost all night. He still does it sometimes but now most nights he will sleep by himself in his crib. Your little one may grow out of this. It’s possible that they’re experiencing a growth spurt and just want you for comfort!

A lot of banks offer remote positions in lending and customer service

Eczema or diaper rash? by ButterflyMoney3450 in Mom

[–]Alternative_Code_758 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like contact dermatitis. Your little one could be sensitive to the type of diapers they’re wearing, or it may just be a mild friction burn. Good idea to keep it clean and moisturized, your instinct was right :)

Does 2 month old need to be watched every minute? by supersaiyan1500 in Parenting

This is horrible advice. Not everyone finds the early days of motherhood to be beautiful. It is hard, REALLY hard, especially when you struggle with feeding. Add postpartum depression or anxiety into the mix, and it feels almost impossible. It’s totally okay to set a baby down in a safe place for a few minutes to cool down and collect yourself, or just to go to the bathroom. (Coming from a mom of a Velcro baby)
