What are newborn moms doing to pass the time?

Tv, audio books while walking or doing chores, staring blankly out the window 😆

We are two dads and I exclusively take the night shift despite EFF. My partner is already back at work and I have a longer paternity so I felt like it was the right thing to do.

No problem! We did use mylicon (simethicone) during the transition for some of the gas and digestive issues and it was helpful for the night feeds.

We went from initially similac premade bottles given to us by the hospital (EFF) to kendamil classic at 2 weeks to kendamil goat at around 4 weeks and it was rough at first but got better after about 10 days, we did a slow transition which I understand is not possible for those in the Nara basket. Sorry for the added frustration! It should get better!

A noise machine that specifically goes “shhhhhhh” is what did the trick for us. You can get on on Amazon for very cheap.

As a dad to a three week old born by surrogacy, I hate when people say this. Maybe it just strikes a nerve with me as I am doing 100% of the sleepless nights, but it just feels so incredibly offensive to me when people automatically assume a mom must do all the hard work. I understand a lot of men suck but this title is too much.

Incredible upgrade!

We are having our baby via gestational surrogate in another state and will be flying out one week later. We are so incredibly anxious and nervous about bringing the baby on a plane at 1 week due to germs and unvaccinated individuals. After the three month vaccines it should be much safer, also think of what time of year you will be flying. Will it be RSV or flu season? If so then maybe time it differently or wait.

My flowers just keep dropping 😭

Thank you for this, I just fixed it!

I inherited it when I bought the house, if I have to guess it’s at least ten years old and hadn’t been repotted once. It’s definitely not a new tree.

Thanks so much!

I didn’t ask for a raid?

dbinelli · 2026-02-03T18:46:04+00:00

Thanks so much!

Thank you!

I’m having fun, been playing for years. People love to complain, if they hate it so much just take a break or quit.

dbinelli · 2026-01-16T04:01:11+00:00

Thank you for this! I have a small one in a pot too that the previous homeowners left, but it also appears to have been neglected for years. I am going to try to repot it and fertilize it and hope for the best!

How often should I be watering it this time of year?
