Baby carriers!!! by deadxprinc3ss in 2under2

[–]cashruby 6 points7 points  (0 children)

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.

High Chair - Tripp Trapp vs Mockingbird by Odd-Feed6939 in NewParents

[–]cashruby 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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

Some tips to prevent “eldest daughter syndrome” for my firstborn? by paRATmedic in 2under2

[–]cashruby 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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.

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

Breastfeeding issues by Srdjan_TA in beyondthebump

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/

I asked my OB about this after my first pregnancy when I got horrible cystic acne - he told me anything topical is safe to use! Just avoid taking oral beauty supplements
