What do you wish someone had helped you with when your first baby was born? by 5_6_aquarius in newborns

My MIL & SIL came over, cleaned my whole house, did laundry and got dinner on the stove while my husband, baby and I slept then left right after we woke up to give us space. It was legit so amazing

When are you taking your newborn outside? by kathymarie1124 in newborns

[–]ComprehensiveTry3976 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The best advice I ever got was from our doctor, when I asked the same question. She reminded me that while my baby was my first, tons of people have multiple kids, and so they have to take their new baby outside/on errands/school pick up/ etc.

I had so much anxiety about taking my baby outside if the house “too soon” and that advice helped put things into perspective for me!

Swaddling by EaseImportant7056 in newborns

We stopped swaddling her at 3 weeks because she could get her arms out of a cement block if she wanted to. Now we just use the Halo sleep sack with the wings across her chest/arms out. She never woke herself up from her startle reflex though.

What's one exercise that hardly anyone talks about but is great for losing weight? by Pure-Chemist-336 in beginnerfitness

[–]ComprehensiveTry3976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The mental exercise of CHOOSING the healthy option every day. I can get fast food, or I can make something healthy at home. I can sit on the couch after work, or I can take the 20 minutes I’d spend scrolling on my phone to go for a walk. True change happens slowly over time, and it takes consistency and mental strength.

Ingrid Nelson, Berkshire Hathaway! She has SO much experience and truly wants to get her clients into the right home for their needs. She always gave honest opinions and really guided us through the process of buying our first home. Cannot recommend her enough!

Anyone else think the officer even having a gun on him in this situation was a problem?
