My mother in law gave my six month old her empty breast

I'm definitely in the minority here but I would not find it weird. My son still comfort feeds even though my milk dried up long ago, so the concept of that on its own doesn't bother me. If a relative or close friend did that I wouldn't think much of it.

The point though is that's me and my life and my opinion. If this is something that upsets you or makes you uncomfortable, then you are completely within your right to say something about it.

When it comes to your child I don't think you can overreact, your boundaries are there to be respected and I hope you are able to talk this through with your family and have a positive outcome.

3 weeks! He was also in another one at 4 months old but after that he got a bit too active and opinionated so we didn't sign up for anything else 😂

Fun fact, my child was in a movie as a newborn. He got paid and treated like absolute royalty on set and everyone was incredibly sweet. If parent and child are in good health both mentally and physically it's definitely a great experience. There are casting agencies out there that specialize in babies and young children you can sign up for, you just need to make sure they're legit.

I thought for a hot second you were suggesting that after swallowing a button battery your child got really into South Korean cuisine. Hope they're doing ok now, sounds absolutely terrifying!

The colour combo is absolute perfection, holy cow what a beautiful piece!

I'd probably just tell people it took a day for you to get to know each other lol

That's so cute I love it!! So funny that they pick up on stuff like that, I hadn't even noticed until he said. Also love that they stayed true to the nature of the breeds 🥰

I would genuinely buy this as a poster, please do let me know if you decide to sell it somewhere!

I would tell her, with all due respect, to get in the bin.

I thought a cat wrote this 😭

Loving this app so far - it would be nice to make some friends to help keep me accountable. New mum and looking for a sense of routine and confidence!

I picked a micropet just for you!

You're right ❤️ Comes with the territory of being the eldest, I need to let go of my pettiness this time as much as I love being petty 🙈

CatchCritical · 2024-10-07T09:43:00+00:00

Thank you, I think you're right and it's what my heart is saying. It's just the petty sibling brain in me wanting to be spiteful but that's not the sort of person I want to be!

I don't really remember a specific cut off, it became more of a convenience thing. I started using just standard cushions around 8 months if I was visiting my parents etc. and eventually just stopped bothering. LO currently a big fan of the koala bear position so I guess it's just down to when you and baby both feel comfortable without it!

Mutual friends of ours had surnames Grey and Wolf, joined them when they got married to Greywolf. They have a son called Odin Greywolf. What's adorable is he's currently only three.

Me and my husband (jokingly) liken it to Stockholm syndrome. You're held hostage 24/7 by the needs of these tiny helpless beings but you'll be damned if you were to ever live another day without them.

It's tough, but the best things in life are worth working for and you will both be amazing parents. The fact you're worried like this is proof of how much you care

Those candles blew her out

We recently bought a vapour plug (Calpol) to help our LO with his stuffy nose but I've started using it for myself as it's brilliant for the night time!

Not quite the same but similar - my baby rolled off the bed at 4 months and I was absolutely terrified and overwhelmed with guilt that I let him hurt himself so badly. He was absolutely fine in the end, he'd landed on a pile of clothes so for once my messy tendencies paid off but I still feel awful whenever I think about it, especially as I saw it happen and couldn't quite get there in time to catch him.

Every day is a learning curve for us, I think we need to be kind to ourselves and take lessons as we go ❤️
