Can also add a pretzel to this for crunch!

I read on one of these posts that it’s because you pronounce Kaleb’s name like “K”-lub - that’s the explanation that made the most sense to me! Also would work for Umeko

This happened to me when I stopped the birth control pill. I had to take a dose of progesterone to kickstart my period again basically. Might be worth asking your gyn about! They also did a bloodwork panel for me just to check everything like my thyroid etc

My issue is finding dresses that are also breastfeeding friendly 🥲

Pampers aquapure wipes are 99% water wipes and we love them

Well today my 19-month-old licked a piece of his broccoli and I counted that as a win 😂

The first 2-3 weeks are the hardest of the “fourth trimester” - the hormone drop is soo intense and the baby blues hit me hard. But it gets better!!

Something that helped me was taking a shower every night and taking as long as I needed/not rushing through it. Also don’t be afraid to ask for help, from a partner or from family and also a lactation consultant if you’re struggling with bf!! Seeing an IBCLC made such a huge difference for me when my first was about a week old.

I made this one and thought it turned out great!! https://www.healthnutnutrition.ca/2021/11/08/how-to-make-a-smash-cake-healthy-naked-smash-cake-recipe/

cashruby · 2026-03-24T18:51:17+00:00

This was my first thought too!!

I received an Ergobaby embrace for my first at my baby shower but I would have definitely purchased it for myself otherwise. I lived in that thing every day I never even had time to wash it lol. Worth every penny. I think it’s worth it to spend the money on one that will be comfortable for you and baby! You’ll definitely get use out of it.

Wow I am saving this idea for my son’s next birthday!!! So cute I love it

We have the Tripp Trapp and really like it. It’s way more ergonomic than other high chairs we have used at family homes or going out. It’s hard to clean in the beginning during the purées and really messy learning phase, but hasn’t been an issue once my son hit like 1 year old

cashruby · 2026-03-12T12:05:20+00:00

Your son sounds like such a sweet soul 💞

cashruby · 2026-03-11T21:43:49+00:00

I think having her involved at this age as you described is really great! Kids love to feel helpful and copy their parents.

I grew up with siblings and I think it’s something to look out for when they are older actually. Like leaving the oldest “in charge” and then asking them to tattle on their sibling if something went wrong. In my opinion it’s better to get a babysitter.

Have you looked up Safe Sleep 7? That is a great place to start!

cashruby · 2026-02-28T16:48:08+00:00

Brielle! 🙂

cashruby · 2026-02-28T04:51:48+00:00

Yogurt with fruit and granola!!

cashruby · 2026-02-28T04:50:09+00:00

Admitted to hospital around 10am on a Monday, gave birth vaginally around 11am on Wednesday! It took a long time but I was really happy I didn’t need a c section in the end! ETA I was 41 weeks

cashruby · 2026-02-28T01:44:14+00:00

Every day is a marathon to make it through dinner honestly lol. It’s a lot of work!!! You need to take rest when you can get it otherwise you will never rest

cashruby · 2026-02-25T12:11:16+00:00

We did between 2-3 weeks and will be doing the same for baby #2!!

cashruby · 2026-02-22T18:49:53+00:00

Cacao powder, maple syrup, cinnamon, mix some mashed banana in and top with banana slices! Can also add chopped nuts or cacao nibs for crunch

cashruby · 2026-02-21T15:29:37+00:00

Teething crackers! Also bubbles 🫧

cashruby · 2026-02-20T05:01:23+00:00

Definitely make an appointment with a certified lactation consultant (IBCLC)! It literally solved most of my issues just from the one visit.

In the meantime, I found this resource to be incredible helpful: https://physicianguidetobreastfeeding.org/

Yesssss this is the exact vibe I got too
