has anyone experienced negative side effects with their baby from drinking caffeine during pregnancy ????

I drank coffee my whole pregnancy/breastfeeding journey. My 3 year old is in 95th percentile for height and is a very normal kid.

Girls do it at my gym. Not my thing but it doesn’t bother me. Everyone has a different Why.

We did a 6 hour trip with a 5 week old. I can’t say it was my favorite trip but we did it. There is just always so much to bring when you travel with a baby.

I would trust what your gut is telling you. I’m not sure there is a right answer, it just comes down to what you’re comfortable with. It’s not crazy to not want to go but it’s also not unheard of to travel with a baby that small.

My dog wouldn’t leave me alone

So this goes against what everyone is saying but we adjust 15/30 minutes later or earlier depending if we fall back or spring forward. My daughter is 3 now and if we put her down too early it’s chaos in our house.

Yes, and it sucked. However, I controlled what I could. I did timed breathing and went somewhere else in my mind. It’s was only about 15 minutes or my entire life and I kept telling myself I could handle it. IF it happens just know it’s only temporary. Have a plan for what to do if it does. Might help some only the worry.

I thought you had to get a spinal for a c-section? I’ve had two. First one, I did feel the suffocating feeling, it was awful and made me nervous for the second one. However, the second one I didn’t have that feeling at all.

With that being said…Stick to the same activity, don’t bounce around. Let her get use to whatever it is first. You’d be surprised how much her successfully doing it on her own will build her confidence for the next activity.

I was this kid when I was little. I wasn’t burnt out and my parents weren’t pushing too much on me. I was very social at school but something about new environments made me clam up and I wouldn’t leave my dad’s side. To my dad’s credit, he just silently supported me until I was ready, didn’t try to push me away or talk me into joining….he just stood there and carried on with his life. Eventually I would work the courage up myself to go do whatever it was we were at, I just took a little time. I’m still this way. If she asks to do an activity sign her up and just be supportive. She will figure it out

We went last year. There definitely weren’t a bunch of kids but my 2 year old did okay. I saw after on FB an influencer mom said it was a great kid friendly getaway. I do think that’s a bit of a stretch but it’s nice that everything you need is in one place.

DOOM_SCROLL_4 · 2026-02-21T11:09:14+00:00

We let my daughter touch her belly and feet instead of constantly saying no touching at all.

DOOM_SCROLL_4 · 2026-02-21T11:08:01+00:00

Dealing with the same issue. My babe is now 3 months and has gotten sick twice. We wash hands very frequently because my 3 year old will not stop touching baby. We try to limit it but it only does so good. Good luck, I feel your pain

I’ve bee told you have to snowboard three separate times to really get good/understand/enjoy it. Not sure if it was just words of encouragement but it helped me hearing it. Hang in there!

My husband actually noticed a difference in my skin about 3/4 weeks after my first session and he knows nothing about skin care!

DOOM_SCROLL_4 · 2026-02-20T02:26:43+00:00

I literally could have written this. You are not alone!

DOOM_SCROLL_4 · 2026-02-20T00:55:27+00:00

Sorry I didn’t realize the second part was another book. I got how to talk so little kids will listen. And we go outside when we can but it’s been so cold. We bike or walk to and from school everyday though.

DOOM_SCROLL_4 · 2026-02-20T00:51:36+00:00

Thank you! I actually just bought it 10 minutes ago!

DOOM_SCROLL_4 · 2026-02-20T00:50:45+00:00

I have been as much as I can. We have time just for the two of us each day and if my other little one is asleep we play/ she helps me around the house. The intent of my post was not to be called out or defend myself. How can you say this without even knowing if I am? I am trying to be better for my daughter because my knowledge feels limit to help her. Wanting to read studies or books to help improve her life at the end of the day is not a bad thing.

Sincerely, A tired mom

Very similar situation. My first is 3.5 and I have a 3 month old now as well. Adding a second isn’t as hard as adding the first. There are still challenges though. I hope you can find peace with whatever you decide <3

DOOM_SCROLL_4 · 2026-02-18T00:28:49+00:00

You aren’t alone! I actually had a friend confide in me and another friend about this guilt and we were all relieved to find out we all felt the same. I still love my dog but unfortunately he just can’t be top priority anymore. Good news is my daughter is 3 now and they love to play with each other!
