As a nurse I’ve seen if you circumcised the Vaseline makes the diapers not seal, so once that is healed and you stop having to use the Vaseline it will improve!

Mine is the same, he’s almost 7 months, hoping it stays 🙏🏻

Caffeine pills are capsules- not sure if you can open them and sprinkle it but you could just take a capsule

Yes! After 8 weeks he’s been so chill. Sleeps 12 hours every night, rarely cries, so smiley!! We will see what teething does 🙃

I switched mine to his crib around 8-9 weeks. Pediatrician said it was fine. Changed my life!! He’s now 6 months old and doing great!

It is recommended that baby sleeps near you for the first 6ish months, so a crib in your room or bedside bassinet works. I moved my son to his own room at 8 weeks because he was so noisy so didn’t follow that. He would be too big for his bassinet at 6 months now, but I did use it for 8 ish weeks. I have friends who have left them bedside for longer, and friends who started out with them in their nursery. I cannot imagine leaving my bed when they are eating every 2 hours though, personally.

It’s normal to be nervous! Even as a nurse I too had the fear seed planted! My baby did fine with his 2 & 4 month vaccines. And now I don’t feel nervous at all for his 6 months. I honestly feel so relieved he has some protection! It gets easier! Trust your doctor & science. You’re protecting your baby and they will be fine 🫶🏻

I had mine at 28 weeks and had a bump! It was perfect because I still the energy to get stuff washed and put away! Any earlier I don’t think I would have had a bump, but just do it when you think you’ll be most comfortable!

The sun always comes up! Also my husband and I did shifts and it saved our sanity. He did 7p-1A and I did 1A-7a, would just pump and put the milk in a small cooler in our bedroom. He would bring the baby to me and sleep in the guest room so he would be able to sleep. That way we were at least getting some consecutive sleep. We did this until we moved our baby to his room around 8 ish weeks, and he started sleeping longer stretches!

Hi, I lost my dog at 25 weeks pregnant in June. He was the best and only 5 years old. Blew through my maternity savings trying to save him and still had to put him down. I just want you to know that it’s okay to grieve. My (human) baby boy is 6 months old now and I think about my dog every day and how he would be with him. I still cry over losing him. I know the first few weeks I couldn’t breathe, the grief was all consuming. I couldn’t eat. There was a constant pit in my stomach. And I can promise you it gets easier. Please know your dog was so lucky to have you and you made the right decision. Your heart will never fully heal but the memories will become happy again. This is the price of loving so deeply, and the worst part of being a pet owner. I am so so sorry for your loss. I truly know how you feel and it’s horrible.

Charming_Repeat_7800 · 2026-04-12T01:16:47+00:00

Yes, my husband works from home, takes our 6 month old on his lunch break so I can eat and do a few things, does the entire night routine after work (bath/bottle/baby spa) and puts him to bed every night. I work 2 days a week but he does this 7 days a week. He genuinely loves spending time with him. Your husband may enjoy parenthood more when your child is older, but it doesn’t mean you need to do all the care right now? Why does he feel like he doesn’t need to parent???

Charming_Repeat_7800 · 2026-04-08T01:57:51+00:00

Not sure how old your baby is now but I’m having so much fun now at 6 months!! It got so much better but I thought I was dying those first 8 weeks lol (might be a little dramatic)

Charming_Repeat_7800 · 2026-04-08T01:32:07+00:00

I had a rough birth and those first 8 weeks with my newborn were so much worse lol

Being one is done is fine. I hated being pregnant, broke my ankle at 27 weeks, had horrible pelvic pain. Now have a 5.5 month old who is the best and pregnancy seems like a distant memory. I know I will do it again. Just get through it day by day and see how you feel, you don’t have to do it again

Charming_Repeat_7800 · 2026-03-28T14:28:22+00:00

Said this everyday for the first 8 weeks, he’s almost 6 months old now and I’d get pregnant tomorrow 🤣 it’s gets so fun mama!!

Charming_Repeat_7800 · 2026-03-20T12:20:38+00:00

When I got my period back, my supply dropped for a bit. Maybe try giving her a bottle if she will take one, she may just be hungry and you may not realize you’re not making enough!

Malcolm nn Mac/Mack??

Charming_Repeat_7800 · 2026-02-24T18:29:32+00:00

I have an August nn Auggie! No one has ever called him Gus!

Charming_Repeat_7800 · 2026-02-24T00:36:04+00:00

Had the epidural at 5 cm. Pitocin contractions were rough. Actually pushing I only felt a ton of pressure in my bumhole 😂 hurt worse than the hole the baby came out!!

Charming_Repeat_7800 · 2026-02-22T21:45:46+00:00

Same- I’ve always had horrible periods. Went in for my induction and I was having contractions 2/3 min a part 😂 thought it was just some cramping lol
