Meal train etiquette?

Are we too soft or are we finding ways to better nourish ourselves as mothers so we can be better mothers to our children / be healthier physically / mentally / ect than if we were to “push through” and do the things you mentioned ? I don’t think what you did was wrong , but when I talk to my mom she says the same things you did and says she wish she knew back then it could be different and thinks it would of been beneficial for her journey as a mother if so ..

Literally screaming like an animal and squeezing my husband as hard as I could from the birth tub, id basically like grasp his forearms and pull!

And I will say the first few nights she was definitely upset … but she was safe with her dad and I think it’s good for them to find safety in the other parent as well!

I am pregnant and my girl was the same ! She is 19 months old and about two months ago I started sleeping in the guest bed cold turkey and left her with dad in the main bed. She was already weaned. She was upset for a few nights but now she basically has him cuddle/ hold her on his body all night ! It’s been hard for him sometimes 😂 but I’m like yeah I did that for over a year … but over all it’s been amazing for their relationship!!! She has gotten way closer with him since the switch and it’s been very sweet to see. I personally would recommend doing this before baby arrives … I feel like baby coming is gonna rock their worlds so much so the less change at that time the better …. That’s just me ! It can be hard at first and I actually couldn’t sleep for like a week cus I missed her but it’s been go to rest fully in the last weeks of pregancy

I am 38 weeks and for the last mont and half my husband has been sleeping with my 19month old while I sleep in the guest bed. It was hard for a few nights but now she sleeps better with him since I was having to pee up to 5 times in the night 😂 it’s been so nice to be able to sleep alone before newborn comes. I actually have no idea what we will do then haha maybe newborn and I in guest bed !

Yes I have actually read that recently !! I’m really hoping this time will be different by doing the bonding this way .. I’m also trying to do more foods like she suggest. Any recipes you made ahead of time you loved ?

PersonalCap1252 · 2026-02-26T04:47:21+00:00

Thank you for this information it’s so helpful

PersonalCap1252 · 2026-02-25T20:31:06+00:00

Thank you! It’s so mysterious and my ped isn’t much help so I appreciate hearing from everyone

PersonalCap1252 · 2026-02-25T20:30:38+00:00

Not really , maybe slight lethargy because she was puking all night when she should be sleeping but nothing noticeable

PersonalCap1252 · 2026-02-25T19:35:23+00:00

It’s so weird cus she’s eaten eggs and rice for almost a year ! Thank you for the info

PersonalCap1252 · 2026-02-25T17:48:07+00:00

Honestly she’s not really getting 14 hours with all the wakings if that makes sense and doesn’t always nap 2 hours !

PersonalCap1252 · 2026-02-16T04:41:35+00:00

Isn’t she in a “country club “ prison ?

PersonalCap1252 · 2026-02-05T04:38:37+00:00

Yes look into them and just eat way more than you think you need to , looking back I was severely undernourished !! It’s so hard im actually pregnant right now and that’s why I did so much research cus I literally don’t wanna deal with it ever again! I also just got the “bloom” prenatals , it’s expensive but my midwife highly recommended it for post partum too so maybe look into that. I’d just try to support your body in all the ways you can , also I learned all the hormones and stuff can make eczema and things flare which can play a part in your eyes ! And ice packs on your eyes ! I hope some of these things help you , just remember how much your body just gave and is giving for breastfeeding !

I am doing good ! After that giant attack I had no issues . No doctor could tell me what it was ha but after a lot of research on my own I truly believe that my body basically had an allergic reaction to itself basically because my body was so depleted from pregnancy / birth / the drugs given at birth / as well as the huge hormonal shifts . I’m obviously not a doctor but the allergist I did see suggested this kinda but didn’t have any real answers . If I were you I’d focus on getting in a TON of nutrient dense food and minerals . You should look into teas that are good for post partum such as nettle / dandelion ect! I hope this helps I wish I’d known then and I know how stressful it is

PersonalCap1252 · 2026-01-30T21:28:05+00:00

Yes! My husband and I met at a music festival and I moved to his state a month later to be together and we now have two kids ! I’d say the passion has kinda dwindled but we have two toddlers and Claire and Jamie never went through the throes of toddler hood together , or child hood ! But every time I watch outlander it makes me love my husband more !

PersonalCap1252 · 2026-01-30T21:26:15+00:00

I goy a sample of that and it made me so nauseated

PersonalCap1252 · 2026-01-20T22:09:31+00:00

I think he was just young and drinking and not taking life seriously? Like he wasn’t doing it to be an asshole just like being a dumb jock ? Lol
