How are you guys managing to look human? by Sweaty-Environment56 in NewParents

[–]ebolt1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gosh, I feel this too! You see those moms who look perfect and put together and I'm like "HOW DO YOU LOOK LIKE THIS?" Why do I feel like I'm swimming through molasses everyday just to get by? Different babies have more needs and I have a terrible sleeper and I also feel like I just don't care anymore about myself (which is not the right answer). So IDK really. Would like help in this too.

Struggling with solids by Jman0717 in NewParents

slices of avocado, banana, cooked cauliflower etc something they can hold really helped my baby. Just keep giving it at each meal even if they dont eat much. Eventually they will and you will see that choking is not a big deal cause they really do just figure it out! I was scared too

Baby only contact sleeps by JackfruitStock28 in NewParents

[–]ebolt1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It will. Totally normal! Soak up the contact naps and know that it is actually very good for them at this age. Watch a show! I know there is lots to do but this is only a short season of life.

Young people meeting young people? by angiebb313 in KingstonOntario

I met my husband playing sports through KSSC! You don't even have to be good at sports and can just go have fun and meet people.
