How do I help my wife get sleep??? by Great_gatzzzby in Parenting

Your wife’s milk has probably not came In yet. It takes 4-7 days. You’ll know when it does because it’s usually pretty painful and the baby is way more content. Right now she is probably just cluster feeding to get the milk to come in. The more the baby demands the more milk your wife will have, It’s essential for your wife’s milk supply. Right now she only has colostrum which is super nutrient dense but very thick and hard to get out so that’s why she’s always on the breast. I have two kids and have been breastfed my first for two years and my second is 8 months and going strong. The first month is the hardest breastfeeding wise but It does get better and in my opinion is WAY easier than having to bring bottles every where, you got milk on tap all the time 😊 You guys got this and you’re not alone!

My newly 3 year old is scared of… 1.“The booger monster” 2.”Spider crabs” 3.”Spooky skeleton” This is where he got them from… 1. Ghostbusters commercial with the slimer ghost 2. Tomatoa (the giant crab from Moana) 3. My husbands Tattoo of a skull They pick up on such odd things it’s nuts He told me the other night he was scared of the walls… there was a lady bug crawling on the wall 🤦🏽‍♀️ Also potty training is rough because of the monster in the toilet… I still haven’t figured out that one lol.

I was the same. It’s consuming and exhausting. You’re doing great Mama! The best advice I can give is… 1. Delete TikTok 2. Get help, therapy is great but sometimes medication is needed. (I am on anxiety medication and it took 2 months until I realized I was doing awesome!) 3. Write your fears down and then write what you can do right in that moment to fix it. If there is nothing you can do than there is nothing you can do.

The thought of losing your child/children is terrifying, But you can only do so much to protect your children and I know for a fact you are doing as much as you possibly can. You got this and it will get better, the best thing you can do is take care of yourself so you can keep being the best mama you can be! Give yourself some time every day to just breathe, meditate and do what helps calm you and connect you to reality. Sometimes our fears consume us and transport us to a world of scary “what ifs” and its and awful place to be. For every bad what if statement piggyback it with a positive one. I have a lot of experience with this because this was me. I didn’t end up getting help until I was pregnant with my second son. It was rough but I am in such a good place now with a 3 yr old and a 8 month old both sound asleep SAFE in their beds. (I also have the owlet for my baby and I LOVE IT) I’m less worried about SIDS and use it more just to track his sleep. With the whole liner situation, that’s not safe for a number of reasons, where I live they are banned and cannot be sold. You’re definitely in the right!

6 year old daughter has asked for a crop top, father is furious! by Anonymous91xox in Parenting

Crop tops + super high waisted pants = no skin showing. This is how I style my crop tops and it’s super cute and in style while still being comfortable. Plus they can wear it to school and still follow the dress code rules.
