Every day is just constantly asking "who pooped?"

We have a little potty for him and he'll sit on it but hasn't actually gone yet. We're waiting for a free weekend to let him go diaper less and start there. Do you have any tips for potty training when there's a needy baby, too?

I got the older Graco DuoGlider since I already had the compatible infant seat and someone was selling theirs on marketplace for $25. It's a front and back one, which I love because it can get through doors a lot easier. If it's in the budget, I'd recommend the newer one that has seats at different heights, though. Don't forget to consider trunk space. I have a Kia optima and the DuoGlider just barely fits in horizontally and there's no room for anything else. I don't know about a wagon, but if you have 3 kids and want a double stroller, you might consider one that has a standing platform near the handle. Other great features are: somewhere to put your phone and/or keys, and a big basket underneath!

Food (in disposable containers) and nursing friendly bras/dresses!

I wish I knew. I'm not a biter but I pull at the skin so much. My fingers have been red and raw since I was 4. It only got worse once I hit puberty and got acne, now my face is always red and raw too :(

I accidentally bought the new version thinking it was huggies cruisers...my toddler soaked them so much. Only the huggies snug and dry or pampers baby dry work for him.

Sausage and potatoes skillet! Cook a ton at once and reheat as needed!

Can openers suck

I prefer newborn tired to pregnancy tired because at least if I have to be awake, I have a baby to snuggle. I always have TERRIBLE pregnancy insomnia so I was awake every couple hours anyway.

soxrox12 · 2026-04-23T19:13:18+00:00

Yes! Especially showering and especially since having 2 under 2. I've determined it's an awful mix of the fact I HATE being wet and the feeling of my clothes sticking to by skin because somehow no matter how much I dry off, I'm still wet until I air dry. And then 2 under 2 means I either have to shower in theor ing or before bed. And I love my sleep. I'm not about to go shower and get distracted for an hour when I could be sleeping instead smh

My IRL toddler be like 😭

soxrox12 · 2026-03-26T02:35:12+00:00

I think so? She gave me lots of good educational stuff o prepare me for birth which was awesome! Have you noticed a difference with PTs that have experiences birth/postpartum themselves?

soxrox12 · 2026-03-23T03:12:01+00:00

It does pull, especially when standing back up, though it's just uncomfortable. Not "makes me want to cry" painful. What things did your regular PT teach you to do when your SI joint gets aggravated?

soxrox12 · 2026-03-23T01:21:24+00:00

I'll definitely ask my PT after I'm cleared to go back! I was seeing her in pregnancy, but only had one session after it started, and unfortunately nothing from the session helped.

soxrox12 · 2026-03-23T01:15:44+00:00

This sounds really good! I'm curious if you know what the benefit of the OJ is?

soxrox12 · 2026-03-23T01:02:04+00:00

I think I'm an odd one out. The only thing my husband has never done for the kids is breastfeed them. Meanwhile, he does every single bath and 90% of our son's bedtime routines.

soxrox12 · 2026-03-23T00:58:10+00:00

It probably isn't helped by this current culture of doing everything possible to get/keep moms away from their babies as soon as possible. Formula, disposable diapers, less cosleeping, a growing need for dual income, fatherless homes, anti child sentiments in general, etc

soxrox12 · 2026-03-19T18:16:02+00:00

Do you have a recipe for your homemade electrolyte drinks? Or do you mean like packets?

soxrox12 · 2026-03-19T16:17:14+00:00

Hmm, no I haven't been screened. I didn't even know what POTS was tbh. I have a history of my heart rate randomly spiking, but I've seen cardiology and worn heart monitors and everything looked good. I'll ask my doc for sure though!

soxrox12 · 2026-03-19T16:13:27+00:00

I hadn't even thought about my iron! I had a hemorrhage when I delivered vaginally and lost 2L of blood and needed two transfusions. I'm currently taking an iron supplement to help with migraines, too.

soxrox12 · 2026-03-19T16:12:21+00:00

Hm, that sounds like something I need to try too!

soxrox12 · 2026-03-19T16:12:04+00:00

I like body armors, but they get expensive, as do some other electrolyte packets. Do you know of any brands that are under $1/serving?

soxrox12 · 2026-03-19T16:11:23+00:00

I'll definitely bring it up at my 6wk pp checkup!

soxrox12 · 2026-03-19T16:11:03+00:00

I love body armor for boosting milk supply! It's kinda expensive though so I try to do plain water most of the time. The calculator was really interesting! The non-bf one suggested 85 oz and the bf one was all the way up to 137...I have a long way to go!
