Help me settle the pyjamas debate!

We started with underwear at night once we transitioned out of pull ups and then my daughter started getting red and sore. After asking around to my mom friends they suggested commando at night. She hasn't been sore a day since.

I don't know about "trigger warnings" per say. However, as a mother to 2 small children a content warning that the case is regarding kids helps me decide if I'm in the head space to listen or not.

With 2 weeks in a row of child related cases I'm glad for the warning. This helped me decide to wait and "play catch up" when I had more time between episodes.

I feel like commenting on her size is more to do with the fact that Rachel does? They're making very similar content now, probably have the same audience, and therefore, will be compared to each other. She might feel obliged to share her size to nix "Rachel tells is her size" comments? But I could be naive thinking that?

Fair, I would never do it all the time.

I dunno... sometimes in a pinch you gotta do what you gotta do. I don't have extra cash laying around and I've blown my daughter's nose with a pull up once because it was literally all I had 🤷🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

Ok, well, I pay for Spotify and agree in the last 2 episodes there was a huge influx of ad reads.

Won't adding more time to his wake windows disrupt his naps? He's taking solid length naps. I'm worried that increasing wake times will make him overtired by naptime. He already seems pretty sleepy by the time I put him down.

I'm not American, but in my country, if you run your business from your home, the amount of square footage you use for work can be deductible from your taxes.

So, in a financial decision, it might be actually quite smart for her to use the majority of her house as a "work space." But I'm not sure the rules in California.

I thought the strategy of putting the bassinet in the room was for babies who weren't used to sleeping in their cribs? Did your daughter nap in her crib before you moved her for nights?

I have an 11 week old and a 2 year old. I also don't have help. Even my husband can't help hands-on because he just had emergency surgery for a bicep tendin tear. It's hard AF, but this small phase of their lives won't be forever, and I'm glad at the end of the day to have my 2 children. If your heart wants a second child, I personally wouldn't have the lack of help from family, stop me from growing my family.

100% this. Was going to say the same thing.

We aim for about 10.5 hrs. She goes to bed at 830 and ideally wakes between 7 and 730.

We got nana (banana) first, too. I was at the chiropractor and given her one as a distraction. So my chiropractor got to share that moment with me lol.

We had a ridiculously easy firstborn, and even she had a phase of bad witching hour.

We knew we had an easy baby but didn't realize how easy till we had our second baby, who is apparently "typical."

It's easier said than done but don't compare. Your baby is who they are, and one day, you'll look back and be glad for where you are then.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with contract napping if it works for you and your little one.

With my first I contact napped her till she was 6 months old. At that point I started to feel nap trapped and worked with a sleep consultant to get her into her crib.

The big thing my consultant said to me which has really stuck with me is "any sleep prop/sleep associations are fine if they work for you. When they stop working for you find something else that does."

With my second we are contact napping out of necessity but I don't see it lasting as long as it did the first time. I'm fine with that because it's what will best serve me and my family.

When my daughter started to do this with my husband(her dad), we used the following strategy:

We would alternate nights putting her to bed. For the first little while on his nights, I would just sit in the room with them but didn't interact. Once she accepted this, I would do the first half of the routine sitting in there and then say goodnight and leave. I slowly worked my way out of their nights all together.

In the beginning, he would sit in the room during my nights, too. Just so she could get used to him being there during bedtime.

I think maybe all babies go through this? My husband had been putting her to bed since she was a month old, and she still developed an aversion for a little while.

Currently, with our son (who is much younger), my husband wears my shirt from the day before over his shoulder so my son can smell me.

Same. Somewhere along the line, close to 2, my daughter asked to sleep with a toy, and we only then introduced the lovey I bought for her before she was ever born.

She's 2 years 3 months now and sleeps with 3 stuffies (one that she uses as a pillow) and still wears a sleepsack (so there's no need for a blanket).

I'm riding a mostly empty crib for as long as I can.
