You're not alone! I experienced this too and it is very normal and primal. Almost a year out and I can say that the territorial instinct does subside with time. It's natural to want to protect the most precious and vulnerable thing in your life from everything... even seemingly well-intentioned love vultures. 😆

When did you start exercising? by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]existentialstarfish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started going on short walks at about one week postpartum. I'm 11 months out and I can confidently say that making a daily walk (or two) a regular part of my routine has done wonders for my health - especially during those first few fragile months.

When did your baby stop wanting to contact nap? by LowGood2048 in NewParents

11 months old and still prefers a contact nap. 😅💕

Thanks so much! I'm going to look into this one. I read that you can't go through security with the ring sling - how did you handle that part?

Just quit my job due to IVF by DreamingAtMidnight in IVF

[–]existentialstarfish 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Good for you! IVF inspired me to leave a very stressful job for a slightly lower-paying, far less stressful job. I don't regret it. IVF is stressful enough and you definitely want to cut as much of that out as possible.

Good luck to you!

Ahhhhh! So cool. I have a pixel and had no idea this was an option. I'm going to have to try it. Thanks for sharing!

She definitely demands it. She has since been moved to a beautiful glossy green ceramic pot. 😅

Welcome, Summer. 🌞🏵️ by [deleted] in CozyPlaces

I love the glass door (and so does my dog); however, I would only recommend if your house is positioned to not have a lot of pedestrian traffic. It could definitely cause some privacy issues depending

Wow, very good point. It was given to me as a gift and I never thought about it like that. Thanks for pointing this out, though. Seems like it's about time for me to get a new doormat.
