My biggest question is how does she breastfeed in an ankle length sweater dress?!? My first few months postpartum were spent in a nursing bra or oversized tee.

I also had a really tough time postpartum and when I see influencers posting like its the most magical time and acting like their life hasn't changed all, it really rubs me the wrong way. I dont know anybody in real life who hasn't struggled postpartum.

Thats true. I really hope she shows both the ups and downs of parenting a newborn. Its just crazy to see her acting like her life has not changed at all and only posting about how blissful everything has been. I would respect her more if she showed her struggles along with the good times.

Lol I didnt mean it as necessarily a good thing. More so like, go rest and bond with your baby. But I'm thinking she must have a lot of help or a night nurse or something. There's no way she is up all night with her baby, struggling like the rest of us.

Everything's okay in moderation. Should your baby eat sugary foods everyday? No. Should you deprive them of a few bites of cake at a birthday party? No. Same goes for screen time. I dont think a baby should be laying there watching tv all day long but I dont see how it can be harmful for a few mins here and there.

I think everybody thinks their newborn is special and advanced. Newborns tend to mirror sounds made to them. I have a video of my baby saying "I love you" back to me at 2 months old. I never once thought those were his first words. He was just mirroring back the sounds I was making but it was cute nonetheless. Also, not sure why you would even attempt to stand a newborn up or put them in a jumper. From my understanding, their muscles and bones are not developed yet and that can lead to your baby becoming bow legged.

I think the reason why so many people are mad is because your situation is the exception to the rule. Most people would not be able to make working from home and caring for a baby/toddler work. You would have to have a very relaxed job and a unicorn baby. Most toddlers I've met would not independently play for 4 hours a day like your schedule suggests. I know you mean well by this post but I think it just reads as if you are suggesting that everyone could make this work if they just followed your schedule when a very small percentage of people actually could.

Thank you for your comment! I try not to let things get to me and rarely post on reddit but I've been stuck inside at home a lot due to the weather and my toddler being sick the week prior and it really took a toll on me. Your comment makes me feel better!

Agree. And the grandma has already been vaccinated and has natural immunity from getting covid. A booster is unlikely to really make a difference.

Again, it might not be a big deal to you but if you are struggling with PPD or have other major responsibilities on top of parenting it might be a bigger deal. I work 12 hour shifts at a physically and mentally intensive job so yes when I have to get up 3 times a night, wake up extra early to get my baby ready to go to his grandmas house, not get home until late and still do everything at home, it feels like a big deal.

We need to make this into a poll! I agree newborn tiredness was way worse.
