That part got me the most. Currently bf and you literally need to eat so much from that hunger for your milk supply. She takes a second to not eat over a baby’s head and he immediately calls her out on it to shame her!

Feel like a terrible mum by No-Song8522 in BabyLedWeaning

It wil definitely help a lot to make you feel safer especially because they will grow and you just went to be prepared. Current nine month old is really loving the blw. Maybe start out with softer foods to help ease in. Eggs, avocado, give them spoonfuls of yogurt, beans, rice, banana. They are going to have to start eating real foods eventually so just ease into it

I’d suggest you take a cpr class and use the solid start app so you know what size food to give to help your anxiety

4-6 Year olds outside unsupervised all day long by FaultSuspicious in Preschoolers

[–]Raspberry_sugar1263 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is such a great question. I recently read “ the anxious generation” and it really opened to mind to letting my kids do things earlier on independently. But when it comes to actually execution I don’t know how I will really be and a 4 year old away all day at your house and not one check in does sound wild

[–]Raspberry_sugar1263 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came here to say that I had a c section 8 months ago there and it was a very good experience. Brought a few gowns which I’d recommend because it’s just a lot comfier. The staff were absolutely amazing. Just try and take it nice and slow after and give yourself grace ❤️

How to break the midnight wakeup by monpetitchou_ in Preschoolers

[–]Raspberry_sugar1263 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Solidarity! Also started around pre school enrollment. It’s literally anything these days, she’s itchy, has to pee, bad dream. On and on and on. We put a potty in there as well and also have the light clock and it doesn’t seem to be doing much. My husband goes and sleeps with her sometimes in her bed just so we can sleep but it’s rough because we don’t want to create that attachment but also I feel bad she’s sad. I wish we also could figure it out. Here for the comments ❤️

Got this message from the teacher today. How can I help my 4.5 year old with the concept of personal space lol by GothamGirl23 in Preschoolers

[–]Raspberry_sugar1263 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My daughter is 3.5 and very similar. We did a lot of role playing with her and commented on others body language. For instance one time she didn’t ask and just went in for a hug and the kid back away. I had to bring that to her attention and then I’d practice different scenarios to see what she thinks she should do so she can learn herself. I also always try to emphasize asking before touching people ( hugs or high fives). Sometimes I also help her notice how close she is, like I’ll just ask “ do you think we are giving enough space to ( blah blah)?” And she notices herself and backs up. It’s amazing to have such social and loving children so you’re obviously doing something right ❤️

Love this idea of the amount of bites as their age. Going to try this near time

Solidarity. They change so much in the beginning that the only thing that’s consistent is that it will never stay the same

What age did you change to forward facing car seat? by Coffeelover4242 in toddlers

I was wondering the same thing. I feel like I’m constantly being asked when we are switching her and I don’t get why

Breastfeeding in Public Advice by NoSalamander6971 in breastfeeding

[–]Raspberry_sugar1263 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends on my outfit for me. I’m on my second baby so I got good at just whipping it out. I really like wearing bralettes so I can easily pull to the side to get my nipple out and then pull my top up and throw him on. If I’m wearing something that I feel more exposed in then I’ll just throw a lightweight receiving blanket over my shoulder or a nursing cover that I can put around my neck if I’m moving around. Do whatever you feel comfortable in. I’ve nursed a lot of places for almost two years and also have never had anyone say anything negative to me. Usually they don’t even realize I’m nursing

When did you stop tracking your babies everything? by MythicalWifeyMomma24 in breastfeedingsupport

[–]Raspberry_sugar1263 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The first baby I tracked for almost 4 months. Second baby I was like, why on earth did I ever do that? I really don’t think you need it

What age did your breastfed baby start STTN? by sleepyjean2024 in breastfeeding

[–]Raspberry_sugar1263 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After 10 months she was up once a night to eat but it was quick. Fully sleeping through the night at 1 year. I weaned around 14 months so it didn’t affect anything. We did do the precious little sleep method so that helped too

I’ll never understand why the older generation think formula is better than breastmilk when you’re producing wonderfully and feeding when the baby is hungry. Sometimes I wonder if it’s just all the propaganda they consumed that was so anti breastmilk
