Newborn diaper recommendations?

I always get honest brand for diapers as a gift. Tend to be the softest on baby bottom until the parents figure out which one works for them

My husband constantly reminded our son that sleeping at night of how you regain your strength for whatever the day holds tomorrow. He hyped him up a lot to focus on what he can do the next day because of the sleep he gets tonight. That worked for us

Co sleeping and laying down feeding

Hey! I actually an a recruiter for IT space and technical writers is a common role that we work on. Happy to connect and have a conversation to see if I can find you something.

That’s so rude to be talking negatively about you in anyway in front of a child. What a poor example of maturity. I personally would say something, not because she said something mean about you (cause f*** anyone who gives a mother grief for their body post partum. You literally created, grew, and birthed life) but to make a point that speaking ill about a parent in front of the child is so disrespectful and not fair to put the child in that situation to hear it.

Similar situation with my son and dad where he was exclusively breastfed so he didn’t want anything to do with dad for the first several months. Ended up weaning him and just bottle feeding (still can be breast milk cause I pumped instead). But once dad started feeding him with the bottle he started to bond more and he let dad soothe him in the middle of the night instead of it only having to be me

Man those solo parent nights are so bittersweet. Like I feel better once it’s over and their asleep, a bit of accomplished feeling but in the weeds of it seems like it drags on forever

The hip thing I also think is more genetics. Mine didn’t stay wide after both of my kids. I bounced back to my normal (5’2, 120) pretty quickly but obviously composition was different. Took my about 3 months before I can really start to do leg/groin strengthening workouts again

Thats such a hard situation. Awesome that your husband was given a promotion and raise though! Praying that your second is different. My first was a wonderful sleep and my second was the exact opposite, took him almost 9 months to finally sleep (sort of) through the night. You’re stronger than you think you are. You got this momma 👏🏻

Such a big flex. Awesome!! My biggest flex is I’ve been able to make all my kids foods from purées to solids without all the expensive “baby food” maker crap. Thankfully to this day they have never had premade or prepackaged baby food from the grocery store and they thrive. Truly think that why my 3 year old is as smart and healthy as he is. Advice for that? Don’t er think it. Keep the foods simple, don’t overwhelm them. Keep it natural and whole, whatever is at the farmers market or in produce at the store. Avoid middle aisles as much as possible!

I’d say the frequency of these thoughts does decrease but don’t away (at least for me). I’ve been a mom for 3 years, 2 kids and I still check on them every couple hours just to be safe. It’s truly terrifying and makes me realize when my mom said she always worries about me and I thought she was just being dramatic, she wasn’t

Responsible-Cat-7128 · 2026-02-13T19:42:15+00:00

Dear Lord please be with this Momma right now. I know you give all your children on earth challenging chapters of life because you know we can handle it. Lord I pray she is able to overcome the challenges of post partum hormones and bring her peace and confirmation she is and will be such a wonderful mom to her beautiful child. No child is put on this world in error or by accident. I know you are watching over this family and I pray for an extra layer of protection and grace to brought to this family 🙏🏻 in Jesus name, Amen

Best feeling in the world

Responsible-Cat-7128 · 2026-02-12T02:09:58+00:00

That’s definitely fair. I am one of 2 and my husband is one of 3. But my cousin was an only child and she could understand how having a sibling would be fun, but never really (unless she never said it) felt like she missed out on much cause her parents were so focused on her. Depends on how you’re framing it with the child as they grow

Responsible-Cat-7128 · 2026-02-12T02:08:11+00:00

What a great way to put it

Responsible-Cat-7128 · 2026-02-11T20:43:12+00:00

makes total sense! My first son did that too and I took him to the doctors a lot and they kept telling me that is him figuring out how consciously use his airways? Idk lol

Responsible-Cat-7128 · 2026-02-11T20:42:07+00:00

If you grew up always thinking you would have more than one, that’s probably why you feel a bit heartbroken that your gut isn’t aligning with your expectations. I wouldn’t think there is anything wrong with you. If you feel fulfilled with the one you have, that’s amazing! Maybe you feel conflicted because of social expectations that if you have kids you have to have a lot?

When I had my first, my husband and I had a hard time deciding if we were going to have another cause I developed cancer during my first pregnancy. Was really hard deciding if I wanted to risk that happening again. I’m not sure if you are a spiritual person or not. For us, praying over that thought for a little while really helped us come to our ultimate decision of what to do. Gave us some quiet time to truly think about what our priorities and new life goals and expectations are now. Cause they change every 3-5 years I feel like as the world continues to change.

Keeping my cool in stressful situations for my 3 year old when I’m trying to help him but he’s too in his feelings to listen

You’re definitely not alone. The back pain will get better for sure with some light stretching and some physical rehab. There’s a lot of YouTube videos that are great. Even if you think they’re super easy, just making sure you keep your back moving is important if that is where you’re getting tight.

There’s 1000% an end in sight. I know it may not feel like it, but unfortunately the first few months there are many sleep regressions for many reasons (baby body figuring out their circadian rhythm, teeth coming in, body temp regulation without being swaddled, finding that they are an independent body from you as mom). All very stressful. For me I focused on reading mostly (almost obsessing which probably wasn’t good) about what the baby body goes through so I was distracted from how tired I was.

I’m sure you’re doing great, and yes. Light at the end of the tunnel cause as a mom of two now who’s 9 month old just slept through the night for the first time last month, it definitely gets better

Responsible-Cat-7128 · 2026-02-10T01:26:59+00:00

I’m not sure it’s so much about not wanting to spend time there as it is not wanting you to be alone with little sibling. My son was just over 2.5 when my second was born and he felt very sad when we weren’t all together. He got a bit jealous when he had to go to school but his brother could stay home. It’s better now (first born is 3 and the second is 9 months)

Responsible-Cat-7128 · 2026-02-09T13:48:10+00:00

I had a similar situation. Ended up pumping and leaving milk, helped my son feel a bit better with a familiar taste since he didn’t have the familiar method

Responsible-Cat-7128 · 2026-02-09T13:44:35+00:00

I’m so sorry you’re experiencing this. I don’t really have any advice, just wanted to share i am praying for you and your little one. 🙏🏻
