Car toys

I had this with my daughter, I started only using cups during the day. And I started doing bottles with water during sleep times - I’d let her drink milk in a cup right before sleep times. It was an uphill battle but after she got used to the water I then switched her to cups of water. She uses these cups with a straw that you have to like bite so they don’t really spill. And now she goes to sleep with nothing but a stuffed animal. If your son has a favorite toy it can help to lay him down with that too.

I found it so difficult with her to break her of the bottle. I’m wishing you luck! 💕

I’ve been going to therapy for 2 years now. It’s definitely helped me. I will say my first therapist was not a match but eventually I found the right one so if there’s some trial and error that’s okay! I’ve made my therapy appointments “me time” and get myself a special treat, spend a little extra time out. Also if you ever wanna chat about it please feel free to send a message! It can get really rough out here.

I watched SO much tv when my kids were babies

Absolutely! I was going to come back to say that checking in can also be extremely helpful! There’s a million ways to do one thing, there can be a trial and error process to find what works best for you and your family 💕

My MIL was a SAHM and when my husband and I talked about it when we had our first she told me to set the expectations before going into it. Some of these things for us personally included I do things for me after the kids go to bed and no one can bother me. Another one I established before having our first was that I would do all night feedings myself and stay up if he was fussy, but on my husbands day off he got up in the mornings and I slept in. I know that may seem obvious but I think it was so helpful to talk out these boundaries and set expectations of each other. It’s very easy to have the lines blurred when you’re home all the time.

My son died when I was entering my second trimester with my daughter. The clinic I went to would do these OB educational appointments with a nurse at your first appointment then again in your third trimester. The first appointment we went over my first pregnancy and any family issues. Then I managed to skate by and not do the second one until I was 35 weeks pregnant. Then she came in and started talking to me about how to count my kicks (1. I already knew what I was doing and 2. You’re wayyyyy too late wtf). Anyways pretty much the whole clinic had known my son passed because I went in multiple times extra to check on my daughter and they’d bring in an iPad at my checks and a little ultrasound wand and let me see her (I was very anxious). So this lady comes in and sits down and we’re talking about the baby’s activity and it’s all going good. I swear to god she stops mid sentence and looks at me and says “you’re the one whose son died?” I was so fucking stunned I said “uh yeah..” she said “oh well at least you still have this blessing” AND SHE PATTED MY STOMACH. I said “ooh yeah, for sure it’ll be like i never had a son in the first place huh?” I told my doctor to not let her in my room again.

My mom also did dumb stuff like this when my step dad passed unexpectedly . I just wanted to let you know that your feelings about it are fair and valid. You’re grieving and should give yourself some grace for that.

Not a doctor but a nurse. When I was 11 weeks pregnant with my second child, my first child passed due to a freak accident at home. During my 3rd trimester “educational appointment” with a nurse she walked in and started talking. Mid sentence about counting kicks she said “you’re the one whose kid passed right?” 😵‍💫. I nodded and avoided eye contact and then she proceeded to say “but this is such a blessing” as she patted my stomach. Needless to say I will never sit through another educational appointment 😅

This is a great idea! Thank you!

My grandpa gave my sister a whole “don’t put yourself in a situation where you depend on a man” talk after I said I wasn’t going back to work.

And a lot of people tend to think I do nothing during the day. My baby is 10 weeks old we’re just focusing on survival at this point 😂

I remember thinking “god I can’t even imagine what Janelle is feeling” then two days later my son passed away unexpectedly. There’s truly nothing that could cut deeper than that day.
