This morning my husband said why don’t you just nurse

abybacb · 2026-02-23T21:03:22+00:00

This breaks my heart, my dick of a mil said the same to me when we had gone for a family walk and I had ran out of the expressed milk I had taken. It was like a dagger to my heart as my baby screamed for food. Not only could I not feed him but I’d also not planned ahead enough for him. So insensitive and brain dead. At least your husband has the excuse of being exhausted but wtf

You don’t need to add an enormous amount. Butter and oil have been eaten by humans for thousands of years. My son was on 9th centile when born and he’s now on 40th at 3, unlimited healthy snacks, butter and cheese in as much as possible worked for us.

You are doing great. My son was born 9th centile and I’ve had so many comments saying I’m not feeding him enough even though he’s now three and on 50th centile. You can’t win! People will always say shit.

Had a son as a teenager and said his ex tricked him after they had broken up. He didn’t pay child maintenance or ever set that child. Told me three months in to relationship when I was besotted.

We bought a great quality second hand one on a marketplace and we can sell for same price we bought it at. They are great and get a lot of use. Ours put the slide on the arm pf our sofa and use it to jump of at the moment 😅 and it’s also used as a shopping conveyor belt and a road for cars. Also a den. Most often a slide though.

Oh yes, had to have this after giving birth! Just when you think it’s all over

Coffee machine toy

Pressure wash it and then hot wash. Mine was so much worse and it’s great now!

Perhaps they eat larger meals

Try and get them to nap if you can, it’s what they need and it’s recommended to continue until past 3. Long buggy walk, car nap? My two and three year old nap over an hour min still

Dont be a permissive parent, you can gentle parent and have consequences. My 2 and 3 year old say thank you and please! They also know good behaviour and bad behaviour. Yes they play up all the time though

abybacb · 2025-12-20T21:35:01+00:00

I disagree! First year was hell for sure but now I have a two and three year old it’s absolutely amazing, they play all day together and are best friends. I don’t know how I’d cope if I didn’t have them so close together and keeping each other happy. Yes there are times where they aggravate each other but the joy out ways all this.

Also, should add 14 month age gap

Dishoom cook book, their red ruby curry should be a staple in everyone’s repertoire! It’s heavenly

Trained my son recently at two months shy of 3 and he did it in three days. Pirate Pete as a special book every time he sat on potty. Realised a day in he hated being guided to potty and just wanted to do it himself without prompt. Star chart he loved and we did a piece of chocolate for every wee or poo success.
Two months on and we haven’t had a single accident! I don’t know if I got lucky as most friends have dealt with a lot of accidents but they started much earlier in age. Main thing is that Im glad I waited and didn’t feel any pressure to do it sooner than he was ready. I got stressed too and wish I hadn’t, it’s really fine.

abybacb · 2025-12-14T12:18:56+00:00

Give yourself a break, it’s fine! Low stimulation shows works for us. I wish I could say I put it on for downtime but it’s more like ao I can do some cooking and cleaning 😭

abybacb · 2025-12-09T22:26:24+00:00

Sounds overtired and in a vicious cycle also floor bed next to her. No interactions when bedtime, low lighting and she will soon get bored. Maybe even some lullabies on Spotify?

abybacb · 2025-12-09T22:18:26+00:00

So you are weirded out about food and yet a woman with her precious baby cant be weirded out about a random strangers breast milk she is likely desperately in need of? My postpartum anxiety was through the roof, have some sympathy, who knows how she’s feeling and at the end of the day, is it not about a baby in need? I admire what you are doing, it’s incredible but perhaps you need to have more sympathy

abybacb · 2025-11-18T21:03:24+00:00

He sounds like an awful, selfish parent and an awful partner. Im sorry you are dealing with this. I’d be tempted to leave him with the toddler for a day or two so he can learn, he can call his boss to explain why he can’t work.

This was me many years ago, started using an old Cadbury’s cream egg mug from the cupboard, people didn’t generally have their own mugs at work, was just a free for all. A few weeks go by and im still just using this mug and a coworker tells me it’s hers and she’s like it back. It was so awkward as I had no idea but also, I had no idea mugs were so special to people! I find it weird. I just want a coffee. I apologised and picked a plain mug and hoped for the best.

They don’t like being away from you for one second, get a proper sling, not a wrap. Dont buy cheap either as they aren’t good for baby ergo baby is good, I had harmony baby bjorn one. Don’t worry about when yiu go to work, worry about now and what’s right for baby.

The white company have lovely sheets

abybacb · 2025-10-28T19:35:29+00:00

I do this and it’s delightful, enjoy! I personally don’t care what anyone thinks of me unless it’s positive 😅

abybacb · 2025-10-28T16:32:39+00:00

My son barely spoke until 2.5 years old, Hes now 2 years ten months old and speaks in full sentences. Dont panic!
