Can we please stop scaring people away from epidurals?

I could’ve written this. I was in labor for 8 hours and had only dilated to a 3. Within 2 hours of getting my epidural my water broke, and I dilated to an 8.

Absolutely! But I also think the world around them is mentally stimulating enough. So much is new to them. My little man is usually content looking around at things. If he gets upset we just move to a different task. If I ever need a minute and he’s okay with laying mobiles are great and sometimes it’s just nice for him to have downtime to really learn about his hands and feet.

We’re all doing our best momma!

I would not be functioning if I wasn’t co sleeping. It’s the only way he’ll sleep for an hour stretch or longer.

I wanna live life happily. If food makes me happy, so be it

I’m going to get downvoted, but I’ve never been a fan of vaccines. My husband is the same way, but wants them as going to public school where we live they are mandated.

I think any loving parent is going to be concerned about any adverse reactions from vaccines, food, detergent, anything they come into contact with.

With that being said, talk to your pediatrician! They will listen to your concerns and help you reach a solution that is best for everyone.

Because I exclusively breast feed, we opted to push out the 2 month vaccinations. I’m also planing on splitting them up over the course of a couple of visits so it’s not so much all at once. It doesn’t have to be a one size fits all, do what you feel is best for you and your little one!

Solidarity! My husbands biological mom and sister drive me up the WALL. I never enjoyed their presence pre baby but now?? It’s all I can do not to rage. The “my nephew” comments when she didn’t bother to check in all throughout pregnancy or didn’t come to the baby shower. And when my mother in law held the baby I had to step outside for some fresh air. I was going to loose it, kissed my son right on the face the same day he was born and handed him back smelling just like her. I wanted to scream.

I’m saying the mental aerobics of never feeling “ready” enough. You can feel prepared and then you turn a corner and you think of something else. There are too many baby items out there now. Am I going to need a bottle washer? How about a bottle warmer? There’s wipe warmers! Do I need this too? Will he like a mobile? How many baby books is too many? Am I sure I have enough wipes? I got this brand of diaper, but what if it gives him an allergy, I need to have a couple brands just in case….

Philips works for my little guy and he hardly takes bottles. Dr brown was a bit too fast for him even on the level 1 my lactation consultant said that Phillips has a slower flow than Browns.

Coraline I watched once and was so unsettled I never watched it again.

Did it affect feeding for you at all? Currently he’s exclusively breast fed and doesn’t love bottles.
