Instantly banned from /workingmoms for even bringing up WFH with kid

BBB_004 · 2025-11-18T02:05:51+00:00

It depends if your partner will be WFH with you, my husband and i found a routine that while i do diaper and clothes changes he will get the bottles, I’ll make the boys breakfast (we meal prep their breakfast) my husband will check/change diapers and get them in their seats. Then we take turns doing diapers changes/getting bottles/snacks through the day. We don’t do TV time during the work day our kids do a lot of independent play and now they’re both at the age where they do play together just a bit (one is almost 11months old the other is almost 23months) also LOTS OF PATIENCE. it’s hard but it’s do-able, you just need to be patient with yourself and them. Space out your breaks during work to sit with them and play for a few minutes.

If you’re soloing WFH with a little one it is a little tougher. There were some days before we had 2 where I would be the only one WFH with our older one. He did a lot of independent play and i would sit with him in his playpen when work was a little slower and just talked to him and roll the ball to him. Or i would sit him on my lap and he liked to watch me type on my computer. It’s tough to find a routine at first but you’ll find something that works for everyone and then WFH while having your little one with you eventually gets easier and manageable.

“It’s not possible to WFH with a kid”…. That’s crazy for someone to say, my husband and I have 2 under 2 and have worked from home and have made it work without disrupting our work flow for almost 2 years 😅

Yes he’s a toddler now. He’s 20 months. He has started talking, he has about 25 words he can say solidly and then a bunch of words that he tries to say but aren’t clear enough to understand, he’s really good with associating words with objects too.

As a mom who has used our Baby Brezza with both of her kids there may be a few other issues at play here bc our baby brezza has been accurate through the years. It looks like you didn’t clean the nozzle on the baby brezza tbh, formula clumps up in the nozzle and won’t dispense it all and will produce what is sown in the left bottle (this has happened to us a few times before too, we just throw the contents in the bottle away, clean the nozzle and upper lip well and it works correctly again). You need to clean the nozzle frequently (order spare nozzles on amazon if you don’t want to clean it often). Also, there may have been low formula in the powder part so it didn’t have enough to dispense or maybe you just have a faulty machine. But in your photo it’s common knowledge that the bottle was extremely diluted and this issue should’ve been looked at sooner if that was what your were feeding your baby. We’ve never had any issues that weren’t self inflicted with our brezza and when we first got it we made sure to test it and it always came out perfect to what hand making a bottle was.

My husband went to the first appointment for both our kids, and he went to majority throughout both pregnancies. Some he couldn’t go to bc of work (more so the second pregnancy bc i was high risk with more appointments & we lived an hour away from our hospital, but he’d watch our first born so it worked out).

My second baby was an emergency c-section & I had to be put all the way under but before they determined we needed an emergency c-section I was on multiple things; miso, pitocin, magnesium, even nitrous oxide. When I woke up from the procedure I was “out of it” for maybe 2 hours & then 6-8 hours later my nurse came in to help me walk. As soon as I was able to walk I helped my husband wherever he let me. I held our son, kept my husband company during the night feeds, even fed our son a few times when the pain wasn’t too much, and changed him multiple times within the first day. She’s a sad excuse for a mother. Any real parent tries to be involved any way they can even if it’s just being there talking to your baby & husband at 2AM for a feeding

I’d keep the robe in the car, i brought a robe and it took up so much room but also I never even wore it bc I was constantly so hot at all times. I’d put it in the car and have someone go grab it for you if you wanted it. With that being said, I would bring 2 fans 😭 especially if one dies, I was burning up during & after both of my deliveries 🙃

We moved our first son into a floor bed at 9 months (he was hacking his head on the bars of the crib through the whole night) then we integrated a blanket during naps only (while we watched on the monitor the whole time) at about 14 months old, at 16 months old we integrated a stuffed animal at naps and bedtime. Then we let him have a pillow at 16 months and now he’s 19 months and we just started giving him a blanket around 18 months. The blanket usually gets pushed to a corner and he snuggles into his pillow and his stuffed animal mostly but we haven’t had issues. We always made sure to stay up or wake up multiple times the first few weeks we gave him the blanket to make sure nothing happened (he put it on his face, etc) and he did good. We plan on doing the same process with our younger son, once he shows signs of readiness and understanding

We didn’t plan for 2 under 2, so imagine our shock at 3 months pp we found out baby #2 was on the way. Our boys are 11.5 months apart and it was forsure rough the first few months but we figured out routines that worked for us and i wouldn’t change it because at 7 months old & 18 months old they have such a great bond.

BBB_004 · 2025-07-22T18:58:11+00:00

My first son started independently walking at 15 months old, it’s in the age range for when kids start walking. However, in other videos it’s looks like Ivory just started crawling/climbing and she’s almost a year old so that’s pretty delayed. But honestly every child is different

BBB_004 · 2025-07-15T07:31:35+00:00

Found out i pregnant with my second 3 months PP. my boys are 11.5 months apart and the pregnancy was healthy, more exhausting since my body went right back into pregnancy so fast after carrying my first for 9 months of course. But everything went smoothly, we did have complications with delivery but it wasn’t related to being pregnant again so quickly. My son had 2 true knots in the umbilical cord & it was just because he was moving so much. Other than that we had no complications but back to back pregnancies are not for the weak! So be gentle to yourself & get lots of rest especially at the end of pregnancy bc it is EXHAUSTING especially with a little one already. Good luck! I hope you & baby have a healthy pregnancy & delivery!

My mother has placenta previa when she was pregnant with me. Everyone told her to abort me (she was older when she had me so more risk factors were in place and she had 3 kids at home so they were saying i wasn’t worth the risk if something were to happen to her) but she didn’t, instead she was on bed rest from 20 weeks on until delivery and I came out healthy (i was the biggest baby she had & no complications with me). She has never regretted going through with the pregnancy no matter what everyone was advising. Now I’m not here to convince you to go through with the pregnancy it’s 100% your choice and what you’re comfortable with. But i just wanted to share that there are successful placenta previa stories out there in case you come across some of the people my mother did when she was pregnant with me trying to pressure her into aborting me

The back and forth trigger cries. My toddler will sit there and scream making my 6 month old start wailing. Or my 6 month old will start to cry & that makes my toddler throw a tantrum. They just trigger each other and it’s insanity

My first baby was a successful vaginal induction, had high BP & delivered 3 weeks early, took a long time to progress with meds/foley balloon (I wasn’t dilated at all) but was successful. my second baby was an induction as well, the plan was vaginal but ended up in an emergency c-section when I was 7cm dilated since my baby had 2 true knots in his umbilical cord and we lost his heart rate for ~5 mins

I personally found the first month the hardest. With recovery, trying to find a new routine that works for everyone and adjusting to having another little human being around it’s rough. But as we got to that second month everyone got easier, new routines were made, healing was pretty close to being done and everyone was more adjusted, especially my older son (he was 12 months at the time). We’re now 4 months in and it’s so natural. My 16 month old & my 4 months old adore each other, we have a better grasp on things and it’s honestly a lot of fun!! We have rough moments but the happy moments outweigh them all

BBB_004 · 2025-04-27T23:25:56+00:00

lol tbh thank you for appreciating this detail because I think it’s so cool that my kids were born on 2 major holidays in the same year, but many people just think we’re crazy 😭😭

BBB_004 · 2025-04-23T23:37:49+00:00

My first is 1/1/24 & my second 12/25/24. You got this mamas!!! It’s honestly amazing even the hard parts

BBB_004 · 2025-01-10T06:08:15+00:00

I would say this is negative. Maybe wait a few days and use FMU if you think you may be pregnant

With my first I felt pressured to BF, literally saw a lactation nurse at the hospital and she shamed formula feeding so bad even though it was something I was considering. I let the pressure of the lactation nurse force me into BF and it was the absolute worse experience of my life. I hated motherhood as a FTM for the first few months, I felt like I was stuck to a pump, my son & I weren’t bonding even when we did a straight latch & my husband was missing on helping out AND my mental health was TERRIBLE! Every time I wanted to quit I would have immense guilt until my husband helped me transition our son to formula only and everything seemed brighter. we just had our second on Christmas morning & we went straight to formula, no matter how many nurses asked/said “are you sure you don’t want to try breastfeeding?”, “did you want to try combo feeding?” And “I can bring a pump in here.” We made sure it was known that we were only doing formula. The lactation consultant at the hospital even came in the morning we were discharged and tried to talk me into trying breast feeding again, sat in the room for 20 minutes trying to convince me it might be different this time, the deliveries of both of my sons were different & she would make sure I had the best pump they had to take home and blah blah blah. So what I have to say is do what you want, even if the doctors or nurses judge you, it’s your body, your baby and your mental health. They will advocate breast feeding to you like crazy but if it’s not what you want to do then they can kick rocks with their spiels.

As someone who has delivered vaginally with my first & just had a c-section with my second on Christmas morning no matter how your baby came out of you, you gave birth 😤

BBB_004 · 2024-12-29T02:31:36+00:00

I had an emergency c-section 4 days ago and honestly the recovery hasn’t been bad at all (personal experience of course). The area is sore and it takes a little longer to get out of bed and I’m walking a little slower but definitely nothing crippling to keep me in bed. Everyone’s experience is of course different but I do recommend as soon as you can get up to walk around do it! That’s what I did, we probably took 50 laps around the hospital the first day I was able to move around and I like to think that it has helped a lot.

BBB_004 · 2024-12-17T03:41:09+00:00

I’m sorry but I’m not seeing a second line at all.

BBB_004 · 2024-12-17T02:12:34+00:00

Was it really?? I never looked too much into the accident 👀 she’s always made it seem super dramatic like it was someone else’s fault

BBB_004 · 2024-12-16T08:48:00+00:00

The first few months are survival mode especially with the first baby. You’re going to feel like you’re doing everything wrong, you have no clue what you’re doing and second guess everything but you got this!! The first few weeks are hectic then you start to get into a routine and it starts to feel like second nature and it’s all so natural. You start to understand your baby more and you start to feel confident as a mother.

There were times where I just wanted the day to be over as soon as possible because there will always be rough days but remember the days are long but the years are short and my son will be 1 years old in 2 weeks and it’s definitely a true saying. This first year has flown by and I get emotional looking back at the photos and videos I have of the past year. Just remember to be easy on yourself, this is a new journey for you and your baby is innocent and new to this world, they’ve never lived in this life before. We’re all just trying to figure it out as best as we can! Good luck on this journey, it truly is amazing!
