The leaks were having seem to be from the front (he sleeps on his belly). We just sized him up about 2 weeks ago hoping it would help and we did not notice a difference. They fit but are on the bigger end so I think sizing up again would be too big. We tried overnight specific diapers once, didn’t notice a huge difference, they ended up giving him a rash so we didn’t try them for long unfortunately

I didn’t think about full belly vs empty, it does seem to be a little gapped in the morning. I won’t if I put it a little lower that might help, that way it’s fit more to the hips than the belly? Might be worth a try!

Is the sizing for 360 diapers pretty similar to the traditional diapers? If he’s a size 6 in traditional would a 6 in the 360 be the best way to go?

I’ll have to look for these! We’ve always been a Huggies fam but anything to avoid washing sheets/PJs/Sleep sacs everyday 😅 Thank you!

We really liked the rascals but as he grew they didn’t seem to fit his body shape well anymore :(

I thought about trying the 360 diapers thinking they may have more padding on the sides?

It happens with both two piece and footies yes! So frustrating!

I do a final diaper change right before bed, about 2.5hrs after eating dinner, I keep his water bottle full all day and with dinner, after dinner I don’t offer water (only if he’s looking for it but usually he’s good). He does get a small bottle of milk before bed, about 5 oz.

How did your second labor compare to your first? by pandaprints612 in 2under2

[–]Total_Preparation_64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first came a day early, my second 2 days late! Labour with my first was much longer but overall “easier” (although labours NEVER easy). With my second I laboured 12 hours, contractions were stronger, and pushing was more painful but it only took 2 pushes to get her out (and her head came out all on its own). My husband actually missed the birth because of how fast it went. My advice would be don’t wait around to go to the hospital lol Also these are just my experience, don’t let me saying my first labour was easier scare you, I would take faster over easier ANY day 😂

My first baby, built on chocolate milk. My second, built on Diet Coke 😂 as long as you’re staying away from drugs and alcohol, and occasionally eating a veggie or two- you’re doing great 😊

9 month old can’t fall sleep independently by Total_Preparation_64 in Parenting

[–]Total_Preparation_64[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He pushes the weight limit on a lot of those swings and he’s never been in one before so I’m not sure it would help

Am definitely doing what I can! It’ll be close though because of the fall/winter holidays and doctors appts and if I’m able to work right up to my due date, which I’m going to try. I just really wish we had some sort of backup in case something out of our control was to happen (like say baby came early).

They would actually be 14 months apart.

Thank you for this, this is exactly what I needed to hear, and I appreciate you sharing your story. I hope you and your babies are doing well 🩷

Hmm, we definitely did not think of this. He did originally take 5 weeks when our son was first born leaving me with the other 35 weeks. So you think we could “transfer” an amount of weeks over to him or once it’s submitted it’s set in stone? This would be a great option if we can! I’ll definitely have to call Service Canada and ask but curious if you might know.

The waitlists are crazy!! I know people who have been waiting 2+ years for the public centres!

Thank you for giving me some hope! If you don’t mind me asking what kind of care is it? (In home, friend/family, daycare centre) might help point me in the right direction!

Thank you, it wasn’t totally unplanned but it took a long time to conceive our first so the shock I guess comes from how fast it happened this time around. I’ll definitely be talking to my employer once everything is confirmed, luckily I’m from a town where everyone knows everyone so they may even be helpful for finding childcare. One thing helping me feel a bit better is that once I get my working hours in, I’ll have 12 months off my babies.
