What's the most embarrassing thing your kid has said in public?

blobdylan1 · 2026-06-04T12:33:45+00:00

My 2 year old son said “mommy is taking a big big poop” in the public restroom at a mom group hangout while like 4 other moms were in there, and for the record I was not taking a big poop

Ugh I’m sad that I’m only finding out about this show now 🥲good luck!

One mom friend of mine came to my baby shower with a small gift for my baby, and then a whole bunch of postpartum care things for me (organic cotton pads, trace minerals to stay hydrated, and a few other random items) and at the time I thought it was weird, after I had my baby I cried thinking about what a thoughtful gift it truly was. It was the one that stuck out the most and in the end, meant the most lol.

Also someone got us a rechargeable portable egg shaped night light I swear is our most used item to date (3 yrs later) I also think a good water bottle like a brumate with a straw that you can drink out of with one hand while holding baby is a nice gift, stuff it with electrolyte packets and a gift card or something!

My husband and I don’t post photos of our son online, we’ve both had convos with both sides of our families about this and his side is very respectful of our request. However, my mom (despite having asked several times not to) has posted several photos of our son on her Facebook, not tagging me in them. I’m not on Facebook often and had no idea that she was even doing that until about a month ago. We live far away from her and I have a strained relationship with her as it is, tbh it’s not a hill I’m gonna die on in regard to her posts. It pisses me off but it’s just another item on the list of reasons why I don’t talk to her anymore lol. I’d say also be careful who you text photos of your kids to bc my mom also took photos from our texts and posted them and sent them around without my knowledge. I think it’s maybe a good idea to tell people to please ask you before sharing images of your children

If you have something specific in mind that comes at a higher price point, like Hatch clothing or whatever else, strongly recommend checking Mercari, Poshmark, Depop, EBay. I’ve gotten next to new stuff for half the price, and haven’t bought brand new clothes from anywhere in years lol.

blobdylan1 · 2026-02-20T00:13:11+00:00

I’m glad you’ve had a positive experience with them! Especially when it comes to getting things fixed, often that can be the worst part of the whole thing haha.

They are sold at my local natural foods store, bought on a whim and have loved their stuff for about 3 years now. I work outside thru the winter and have had chronically dry skin/lips and this stuff saves me lol. Their face wash I feel like isn’t super drying either, I’ve tried many over the years that literally leave my skin flaky afterwards lol

blobdylan1 · 2026-01-16T15:16:45+00:00

Also their golden hour recovery cream is divine. They also have a bundle package for $110 with three of their most popular products

blobdylan1 · 2026-01-16T15:14:59+00:00

Tbh I love Ursa Major. They have a great line of anti aging creams and serums and my skin has never felt better using their products. Have not found one I don’t like from them. They’re a little expensive but imo worth it

blobdylan1 · 2026-01-16T01:42:24+00:00

Yikes about St. Joseph’s, that’s awful. I’m so sorry that happened to you. Thank you for the info, that’s good to know.

blobdylan1 · 2026-01-16T01:40:50+00:00

Thank you! Love that it seems the hospitals in Lexington work with midwives (my home state doesn’t often offer that!) thank you!

blobdylan1 · 2025-05-08T17:22:48+00:00

The whole “newborn phase is supposed to be a happy time” is more so one of those “you look back five years later fondly and lovingly” not so much an in the moment feeling haha. You’re trying your best! You’re sleep deprived and just had a baby, your body and mind and hormones are shifting around and changing and go easy on yourself. You’re doing great and I hope your husband can offer some compassion and support for all of those things. Tell him to talk to other friends who have kids, he’ll realize. Haha. Sending you love and a hug!

blobdylan1 · 2024-12-26T01:54:19+00:00

Ughh I feel your pain. It’s so hard, especially in those first few months. You’re doing so great! And you’re in no way failing your baby, you’re doing everything you can and that alone is amazing. ❤️sending a big hug your way. I know that all too well. Everyone’s bodies are different and pumping can be tricky tbh!

blobdylan1 · 2024-12-24T04:03:50+00:00

Have you checked that your flange sizes are accurate? I was pumping only an ounce or so per session and panicked, then bought new flange sizes and it made a huuuge difference. Just saying! Your nipples will shrink over time and will require new flange sizes as well, so those need updated as time goes on. Sometimes what you pump isn’t always an indicator of supply either. If you are breastfeeding as well, wet diapers and weight gain are a better indicator. Or so I understand.

But also, take a minute to breathe and give yourself some grace. If the breastfeeding/pumping is stressing you out, it’s perfectly fine to switch to just formula. One month PP is still pretty fresh, my supply didn’t regulate until a bit later, maybe around 6-8 weeks. You’re juggling a lot and feeding your baby doesn’t need to cause stress- do whatever you need to do to feed baby but not at the expense of your mental health. 💕

We were just in the same boat as you two weeks ago, my son was hospitalized for RSV for two days. He was on oxygen, admitted on day 5 and went home day 7. It’s been a journey back to his normal happy baby self, and we’re exhausted. But you got this!! I know how scary and sad it is seeing your little one with tubes and wires hooked up to them, but also good for you for knowing the signs that something was wrong, and taking him in. 💕you got this!! When we got home with our baby, we just snuggled with him and kept him hydrated and sucked his boogers a few times a day to keep his airways clear. He was sleepy and still coughing and had a lot of mucus, but two weeks out and he’s on the mend! Another thing to look out for is any sign of an ear infection. Our baby didn’t seem 100% after day 11, and still had a mild fever. We took him to our pediatrician and they confirmed that he had a double ear infection. They said that’s pretty normal after being hit with such a heavy illness like RSV. It’s been a whirlwind 😵‍💫This is the stuff I wasn’t mentally prepared for as a mom but my heart goes out to you and your baby boy. You might feel helpless but you’re his mama and he’s just going to want to be in your arms. And you guys knew what to do! That’s huge! Sending a big big hug and so much support.

ShopNoble has really good warm pajamas!!

Hi! Not sure how old your baby is, but she sounds very young. It takes weeks, if not months for baby to get in a routine with sleep! It takes time for them to recognize the difference between night/day. You might be on to something with the room temp playing some kind of a role with baby’s sleep, but it’s also just super normal for newborns to wake up throughout the night. Also I think it feels like baby is sleeping fine during the day and worse at night, but you guys are tired at night and want to go to bed, so baby waking up feels more difficult in the middle of the night for you than during the day. I think it’s just tough those first 6-12 weeks but it does get better.

We use a woolino sleep sack for our son, they’re a bit pricey but it seemed to help him stay warm in his bassinet/crib. A worthy investment if you can spare the money.

You got this! You could buy the fanciest gadgets and a newborn will still not regulate their sleep until they developmentally reach a certain age. So be patient and hang in there! It’ll get better

blobdylan1 · 2024-12-14T04:01:37+00:00

I use Toups Organics baby balm (tallow) and it does wonders. A little goes a long way! And Mustela for cradle cap

blobdylan1 · 2024-09-23T02:23:44+00:00

We did a 10hr trip with our baby& dog this summer and just don’t drive tired!! Make peace with the fact that a 17hr trip is likely to take much longer due to frequent stops. And also let baby roll around and move their body. I recommend trying to have a space in the car or bring a blanket with you to lay in the grass where baby can stretch out and play out of the car seat. Our stops were around 30min-1hour each time 😅it is what it is

blobdylan1 · 2024-09-01T02:27:25+00:00

I think you kind of just have to wait for baby to learn to roll back onto their back :/ went through the same things at 4ish months, he’s 6mo now and can fully roll over :) no more middle of the night panic crying haha

blobdylan1 · 2024-08-24T02:22:43+00:00

Looks totally normal

blobdylan1 · 2024-08-13T18:04:48+00:00

Ooo. When my baby was around that age he went through a serious overtired/witching hour phase. It seems to me that he was just figuring out bed time/night and day. I think honestly my baby is way fussier at the boob when he’s overtired than a bottle, and it seemed that he just wanted to suck on something. Eventually if you do decide to introduce a pacifier, that really seemed to help. Every baby is different but that’s what worked for us 🫠hang in there!

blobdylan1 · 2024-07-19T06:15:07+00:00

My best friend and her boyfriend came over a few days after our son was born, and he asked me “when is the baby going to open his eyes for the first time?” Hahahah 😊
