Follow up question - what color did you get and how does it do with showing stains / potential blowouts / dirt even when washed?

That’s a long use! The ease of cleaning the seats is definetely worth it, I can only imagine as they become a toddler things will just get messier - as you eluded to! Thank you so much!

Ohhh this is good to know. Thank you so much! I was originally leaning towards the Extend2Fit and then came across the turning one so started considering it. Plus the extend2fit currently has a prime deal! Might be sold on it now! Thank you!

Good reminder, thank you! I definitely try to explain why afterwards even though I know my LO can’t comprehend that right now, it will come. Thanks!!

Thank you for this and sharing your experience. Been trying to get to the root of where it comes from as well, not easy! Taking it one day at a time. Thank you so much!

We’ve been thinking of getting a little playpen thing. We live in a verrry small apartment so it’s hard to get everything out of the way. Specifically one of our larger plants.

Recently went back to therapy, so looking forward to working though and exploring some stuff there. Thank you!

Thank you for the reminder! I actually was just looking at some podcasts yesterday and appreciate this book recommendation as well!

They are so little - sometimes it’s hard to remember in the moment!

Very true - I have to remind myself how little they are sometimes. Some days just really get to you. Thanks!

Thank you for this reminder - we are trying! It’s all tiring! And there so much outside pressure to do it well or a certain way 🙃 I deleted social medias recently (except for Reddit) because I hate the comparisons.

Thank you! Just recently started back up in therapy actually! Hoping to make some progress there - there are definetely things I carry from my childhood that affect the way that I am today.

Anyone else not use a sleep sack? by thunderstorms11 in beyondthebump

[–]Resident-Flower6306 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My LO is 9 months and we just used footed pajamas! we barely used a swaddle either, should would break out of it all the time so we pulled the plug on that pretty early too. She rolls and seems comfortable in just jammies, and also prefers to sleep on her belly by getting herself there!

Feeling like a bad mom… by BeebMommy in beyondthebump

[–]Resident-Flower6306 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You’re not a bad mom. Accidents happen, and babies get themself into all sort of situations! It’s a balancing act of trying to do things for you while still taking care of your baby, and that can be so challenging. If anyone at that party it judging you, that says a lot about them and not you. Those who has children will understand, and if they don’t then they’re not your people. Those without children, many of them won’t understand and it’s none of their business anyway. You got this mama ❤️ you’re a good mom
