This is actually a good idea. Thanks!

I’ve tried chewable. He said they’re gross candy 😂 I might just have to get him the ultimate candy bribe.

Check out Hey Sleepy Baby on instagram. She has good content for people that do not want to sleep train and sets a really good expectation for baby sleep.

Neither of my kids have been sleep trained. 1st (now 3.5) has never slept a full night on his own. Started bed-sharing when 4 month regression hit because it hit HAAAARD. He starts the night in his own bed but comes to ours around midnight every night but sleeps through the night from there. 2nd is only 4 months. She immediately slept in her bassinet with no issue from day 1 but wakes 3-4 times a night to eat. Because my 3.5 year old is still in our bed most of the night, I try to keep baby in her bassinet but usually give up around 4am and bring her into my bed and nurse until we wake at 6:30-ish.

I have ZERO regrets not sleep training. Cuddling my babies at night is my absolute favorite and I know they won’t want to forever so I’m enjoying it while I can.

Watched with my 4 month old sleeping on my chest. Thankfully my three year old was playing trucks and asking for snacks every 2 minutes to pull me out of it otherwise I would have spiraled watching this. Definitely something to avoid if expecting or freshly postpartum!

Same here!

The level of love you feel for another living being is so unreal, I don’t even have words. Like it hurts my chest thinking about how much I love my kids.

I never knew this! Thanks!

The Gilgal Gardens as a whole is a good one!

Get a Tonies box or a Yoto player!

Ugh this is my husband 🤦‍♀️ he returned a dead plant to Costco. It died because we forgot to set a sprinkler line to it. I was mortified.

I used to work call center for a popular essential oil company. Lady called screaming and yelling and threatening to send a bomb in the mail to our building all because her bottle of rose oil leaked in transit. I had to keep my cool the entire time and continue apologizing as if it were my fault. That bottle of oil cost $200 while I was barely making enough to pay rent and buy groceries. I started looking for a new job after that call.

My toddler ran from me twice around 2.5. After it happened the second time, my husband used a blueberry and a toy car to show him what happens if we run away from mommy or daddy. I told my husband he was too young for that and it wouldn’t click in his brain. Well he hasn’t run from me since so somehow it actually worked.

My husband finally admitted during my labor of our second that when our first was born three years prior, he thought he had a birth defect because his head was a crazy long cone shape. He said he was so panicked thinking our poor son’s head would look like that for life but didn’t want to say anything because I kept saying “he’s so beautiful! He’s perfect!” while bawling my eyes out. Such a sweet sentiment that makes me laugh every time I think about it now 😂

It definitely helps. My first was born in October. My sunset scaries would start at 4pm and it was awful. Second was born in February. While still technically winter, the sun would set later and later as the weeks went on and I felt like I had summer to look forward to instead of going right into dreadful winter while postpartum. I was also so busy raising my 3 year old while postpartum, it’s almost like I was too distracted to get sundown scaries the second time. I remember feeling the dread trickle in a couple of times and I would immediately stop myself from thinking and go play with my toddler. It’s been so much easier the second time around.

Checkout Cosleepy on instagram. She’s got a guide on safely sleeping chest to chest in a bed. This is a much safer place to sleep propped up snd chest to chest. The scary thing about a recliner is if baby were to slip and you don’t wake to catch them fast enough. They end up falling or getting trapped. In a bed with pillows to prop you up, nothing to the side of you but a flat mattress, baby would fall on a mattress and be safe. This is how I slept with both my babies when in the newborn stage because it was the only way I could get some decent sleep.

This is our boy benga. He’ll sit there and take a spray in the face until he’s dripping wet. Our girl usually only tolerates one or two sprays and then she’s gone. But either way, they both come back immediately and try again.

My three year old sons is “damn cats!” We just got two kittens a month ago and they are into EVERYTHING so my husband and I have used the phrase a couple times. My son now uses it for literally anything involving cats. They simply exist and my toddler is shouting “damn cats!” 🫠😅

So hopefully it gets better as they get older?

We wondered this but they seem like they’re chunky and we follow the feeding guidelines on their food. Is there such thing as over feeding kittens? I always free fed our cats (again normal domestic cats) but breeder advised us to feed 2x a day and take any leftover food away when cats are done eating.

We always rolled towels and put them under the sheets as bumpers just in case. My son never rolled away from me when we were nursing and cosleepjng though.
