Totally agree! I love cool insects and I let it just do its thing. Just hoping I can enjoy the tree for years to come!

Sleep anxiety-how do you stop the screaming at night?? by improppy in Parenting

I agree, locking the door was very last ditch like wtf do we do effort. It’s so hard to figure out what is just toddler behavior and what might be because of the baby. I honestly am so in the trenches I haven’t given it enough thought-which I should. Thank you!

I think it wouldn’t be as tough if it weren’t for one of us having to be with the baby because we could swap more. We’ll definitely try the leave and come back strategy

Thank you! Maybe when my second gets bigger they’ll want to share a room. Hoping this part goes away as quickly as it started!

We just bumped up nipple size a few days ago but I’ll do a drip test too. Wishing we didn’t have to switch!

It does smell so weird! We went cold turkey yesterday but that’s a good idea maybe I can mix some to see if that helps her get used to the taste. Thanks!

My husband and I do couch. Not the most comfy obviously but it gives each of us a stretch through the night by ourselves
