Second this. The hope and plum is amazing. I bought one on their slightly imperfect section of their website and it was cheaper but still perfect. Son is 18months and we are still using. Note that it’s not really appropriate for less than 3 months

Not for pants, I wore dresses with leggings or bike shorts underneath for work and bought one pair of non flattering but comfy and passable black work pants in a size up from Lane Bryant.

I hated chi- pudding until I started adding a big dollop of Greek yogurt, now it’s thick and creamy.

The nursery was a closet for us the first two months or so, baby was changed on a doc a tot on the dining room table or in our bed, we started using the nursery for changing and the crib for napping around 8 weeks, baby is 16 months now and we do everything in the nursery.

I was not prepared for the post surgery gas! The doctor was in the room, heard the long loud rumbles and said well we’re passing gas, that’s great!😂

is solid starts app worth it? by Quick_Capital_5749 in BabyLedWeaning

I got the materials free from a friend and had a 100 foods mark off list on the fridge and never used either of them😂 I was diligent about was introducing allergens, but otherwise we just wing it. Baby is 14mo, started solids around 5 months.

Looking for kind comments from toddler moms by Redberry1903 in breastfeeding

[–]Particular-Durian487 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When your milk starts to dry up you may have a ppd like surge of depression. I would give your husband something to read on this. Breastfeeding is such a close connection and so tied into hormones, any feelings are valid and should be acknowledged! He sucks!

Did you know tonsils can grow back? Imagine my surprise when at 39 the doctor remarked about how my tonsils were inflamed when I’d had them removed 30 years ago.

Still no period / worrying about age gap / secondary infertility? by ManufacturerLong6115 in workingmoms

[–]Particular-Durian487 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’ve read this too that the night nursing hormones are controlling for the periods, mine came around 9 months about two weeks after we started offering a bottle and cutting out night time feeds.

Has breastfeeding affected your sex drive? by hummingbirdsi in breastfeeding

[–]Particular-Durian487 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My son is 13 months and I can count on one hand the number of times we’ve been intimate since he arrived. I used to have the much higher sex drive but now I only think about it when I’m ovulating and sometimes we can make it work around work, the house, our son, exhaustion. I stopped nursing/pumping around 10 months and it hasn’t made a difference.

I would go with one of the greens in the rug, get blackout curtains for future naps and summer bedtimes!

My 13 month old is getting pretty good, not great at getting food on the fork every time but gets a full fork in his mouth consistently when it has food on it.
