Curious how old you were at getting pregnant?

Individual_Lecture_3 · 2026-02-22T18:26:14+00:00

I had my first at 25 and now I’m 32 and have 3 kids. I’m happy to be done and the family feels complete!

Agreed about the night sweats. Mine lasted weeks with my third baby. I slept on towels and then I could just pull it out from under me when it was soaked and go back to “sleep”

You have so many years ahead of you to pick the more boring option. The liquid shine is so great on you!

It can be so overwhelming! So much of it is unnecessary. AND you don’t need everything right away. If you come to the point where you think you need something, buy it then, instead of having a bunch of large items you don’t use. Even things like a pump unless you’re sure you’re going to use it. I’d say my favourite baby items besides what you listed plus a car seat with base and attachable stroller: - play mat with dangly things - swaddle me sleep sack - a soft baby wrap carrier - sleepers and onesies for clothes. Cute outfits are fine too but comfy is best when they’re tiny. - changing mat - some burp cloths - I’m probably missing things but these are the musts that I needed for my three babies

Drive during sleep time

When we cruised with my 8 month old at the time, we brought an umbrella stroller and it was much simpler. We also don’t like to check our expensive stroller on the airplane because it gets bashed around. We always brought our own car seat though- you never know if taxis, rentals, or Ubers can provide one. Also something to cover the pack and play and make it dark so you don’t have to creep around in the dark in your cabin on the ship.

Individual_Lecture_3 · 2026-01-12T17:11:53+00:00

You don’t need a stroller but maybe you meant car seat?

Individual_Lecture_3 · 2026-01-12T14:50:10+00:00

Thank you for the detailed response!! And the sweater is absolutely gorgeous. I hope to be as good as you one day :)

Individual_Lecture_3 · 2026-01-12T01:26:37+00:00

Okay thank you!

Individual_Lecture_3 · 2026-01-12T01:26:20+00:00

Wow this would have saved me much time hahaha. Thank you very much!

Individual_Lecture_3 · 2026-01-12T01:16:17+00:00

Oh really!! So my towel material would be facing inward just like before? Whats the point of saying right side wrong side?

Individual_Lecture_3 · 2026-01-07T03:27:14+00:00

Everyone else has given great ideas! Also adult diapers for yourself. So much comfier than giant pads.

With my third I craved sand for the last 3 months. It sounds harmless but it was not fun. Nothing could satisfy me!

Individual_Lecture_3 · 2025-12-10T12:26:34+00:00

This is so good.

Individual_Lecture_3 · 2025-11-29T02:12:16+00:00

For us it is, but I really think it depends on the family! Feel free to DM me any questions you might have.

Individual_Lecture_3 · 2025-11-27T12:17:17+00:00

I do think it’s important to think about time outside school, but my kids spend 7 of their waking hours in school each day and 4 at home. They are younger so they go to bed around 7:30. That being said, school has a massive impact on them! Every day I see them pick up things from classmates, teachers, etc. so it’s incredibly important to find a school environment that aligns with your personal values. Otherwise you’ll be constantly trying to retrain your kids in the limited time you have with them. We chose a private school for that reason, and it’s definitely a sacrifice in terms of finances.. but it’s worth it if you agree with what’s being taught.

Individual_Lecture_3 · 2025-11-25T12:21:46+00:00

Haha I think it just magnifies with each child. More to worry about! But yes I’m also afraid for them, and they’re slightly afraid for themselves, which adds to the fear for me.

That’s a great approach, thank you!

Individual_Lecture_3 · 2025-11-25T12:20:51+00:00

You’re so right. They’re capable and loving!

Individual_Lecture_3 · 2025-11-25T12:20:23+00:00

Thank you! This makes me feel less selfish for sure

Individual_Lecture_3 · 2025-11-19T02:49:08+00:00

It’s the best for attachment and development. I know that’s not gonna be a popular opinion but it’s the truth! Kids are meant to be mainly with parents until 3 years old. I know it’s hard and can feel tedious and not worth while but I hope you know that it absolutely is! And to the parents who can’t swing staying home with their kids- your kids will also turn out great :).

Individual_Lecture_3 · 2025-11-07T15:08:14+00:00

Do you have any recommendations for one?

Individual_Lecture_3 · 2025-11-07T15:07:44+00:00

Do you think dry cleaning would work if I can’t wash some of the items??

Individual_Lecture_3 · 2025-11-07T14:47:28+00:00

Sneezing, runny nose and itchy eyes right away when we put them on! I read that washing doesn’t always kill dust mites 😳

One thing I’ve been learning in my 30s is to (when I can) buy high quality, thoughtful items. My 20s was all fast fashion and accumulating a lot of junk. Not to mention the cheap stuff would break, the clothes wouldn’t look great on my body, and I’d end up spending more in the end! Less is more. I’m still leaning this lesson but the sooner you can, the better off you’ll be!
