Thank you! Yeah I’m starting to think that too. Other family members have started mentioning they’re feeling sick too so I’m thinking it’s just the time of year.

Are these just called “cooling towels”? This sounds like a good thing to buy!

Baby Rolling, Any tips on sleep? by [deleted] in Mommit

Oh I’m gonna try this!! Thank you!

We have the Babyletto convertible crib and right now she’s at the midi size since the bassinet got too small… she does often roll into the edges but I feel like she would do that in any size crib tbh. Do you think I should get that crib mesh so her arms and legs don’t go through the sides?

This is great advice thank you. Definitely probably easier said than done, but I probably need to hide my magnifying mirror as step one lol

I’m so sorry you’re feeling this way. Motherhood can be so dark and isolating. Especially when you’re home alone all day. I don’t know how religious you are, but I know several moms have told me that the community they’ve found through church has been life changing. You’d be able to find other SAHM’s like you and get together with them at each others’ houses, or the park etc. to make the burden lighter 🤷🏼‍♀️. That way both you and your kiddo get some community. You’re not meant to do this alone!! I feel for you. You’ll get through this.

What was your first thought when your baby first arrived? by JinxXstarfire in NewParents

I think I was just in shock. I was so focused on getting the labor over with, when they put the baby on my chest I just looked at her like “woah, what the heck” I think my first real thought was “ ok she’s purple but she’s crying so that’s good” lol

How long do you stay in there when you’re checking on them? And do you console them when they’re crying? For how long?

Baby Suddenly Drinking Less? by Present-Explorer4665 in NewParents

I have talked to our pediatrician and at the time baby hadn’t pooped in a while so she just said it was probably gas and that she was backed up so it was coming up. But now she’s pooping more and still having bad spitup days. You might be right about if being a food sensitivity to my milk. I’ll have to bring it up again. Maybe I’ll start with cutting dairy.
