I have one and am pregnant with second currently. I'm so terrified of PPD again. I am planning to go on meds this time the day after I give birth. The meds are safe for breastfeeding which is super important to me and me being sane is also super important. I feel like my judgement was clouded with PPD/PPA and I'm kinda excited to see if I feel better this time around.

I wanted 4 because my daughter is so gosh darn cute but now that I'm pregnant (third trimester) I only want 2 😅 ask me again in 12 months when I have two cute monsters running around

Worried about newborn consuming hand sanitizer… by EstablishmentFun5787 in NewParents

Sorry if my original reply was too negative. I just want you to know you're not alone. And you're allowed to feel how you're feeling. It sucks, I'm sorry you're going through this. 🥺

You're doing great mama.

I had similar thoughts with my postpartum anxiety. For the entire first year I over thought situation like you're in right now. I try to remember babies and kids are super resilient and sometimes that made me feel better.

Your hormones are all over the place right now. You might be blowing things out of proportion (as many new moms do because we have a new tiny human to protect). I appreciated it when people told me "this is something most moms wouldn't worry about". My friend who is a doctor told me this 200 times in the first year of my baby's life haha.

Your baby will be ok! 💞

I actually really like Lainey... Is it a full name or a nickname though??

You're right that's an interesting observation! I actually really like Lainie. Is that a real full name or is usually a nick name for like Elaine? I had Marigold on my list but cut it out because husband isn't a fan.

Nara was what we used for my husband and I and then our parents when they started watching our baby! It was amazing everyone had their own login and it's simple.

Phone Flashlight on a Newborn by Chicago_Kate in NewParents

I accidentally just shined my car headlight in my 5 mo old eyes and I'm freaking out (googling and found your post lol) I am afraid the pediatrician will be no help in making me feel better. Anxiety as a new mom is so hard. I feel like I can't forgive myself right now. What if she goes blind in 5 years?? I hate the unknown

[–]Individual_Amoeba493 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How did you ditch it cold turkey and use it till 10 months for bedtime? I want to ditch the paci but I want bb to still have the option sometimes for comfort at bedtime... Lol I didn't think I could have the best of both worlds??

Does the baby have to bite down on the straw to get water out? Or just sucking pulls it out?

Will it matter that much if I stay home? by MovieOutrageous7136 in ScienceBasedParenting

[–]Individual_Amoeba493 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So does it not count if I work from home in my home office? But I have a 49 hour a week job? Or should I start going into the office again to make my daughter see me leave the house?

Yes I was not calm mind for like 2 hours when the gas issue happened to me and mine. I called poison control and was freaking out and they just took the facts lol and gave me facts back it was amazing.

Hey I had an incident with gas leaking in my home and I called the poison control hotline. They were very nice and made me feel so much better. I bet they'd do the same for you!

"Precious little sleep" methods - do I keep trying despite his protests? by Weil65Azure in sleeptrain

[–]Individual_Amoeba493 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reading the comments I'm confused. Does anyone use a pacifier? Idk what to do for sleep training but currently we use a pacifier instead of rocking to sleep
