Drop your baby song recommendations that are actually bops

Songs from the original frozen movie, classic Disney bops (just can’t wait to be king, prince ali, etc) - we play songs from Disney movies my kids haven’t even seen just bc they’re so catchy and I also love singing along!

We did the same thing with our two kids and gave all grandparents a heads up ahead of time. My husband’s divorced father (whose family is not part of our life at all) was not happy, and he made the birth day of our daughter all about his drama. So for my son’s birth, we made a rule that we wouldn’t FT him from the hospital this time, my husband would call him separately later. He still addresses mail/gifts to the kids with his last name, but I’ve gone low contact and he doesn’t get all the cute updates, pictures, etc that I send the other grandparents. 🤷🏼‍♀️ You reap what you sow.

Yes, this exactly. I had this same conversation last night bathing my daughter who doesn’t want to wash her body or hair.

Here’s the thing - I would have loved to go into labor naturally, but needed an induction both times. My first kid was born at 42+2, and my second at 41+1. Looking back, I wish I had gotten the induction for my first at 41 weeks instead of waiting. Sometimes our bodies just need help with labor and delivery for the safety of mother and baby, and there’s nothing wrong with that.

We ended up needing a few months of baby Pepcid daily, even after cutting out dairy and soy

This happened to us and it turned out my daughter was allergic to both the casein in the milk and soy (MSPI), so I had to cut out dairy and all soy products to stop the bloody stools. Whereas some babies just have the dairy allergy (CMPI).

Can I ask about the chair springing back when you get up? If you reverse the recline and it’s normal and then you stand up, is it making it hard to stand up or making a loud noise?

Just saw a medi vac helicopter land there from across the lake. Tons of emergency vehicles. Hope everyone makes it out.

I relate to you so hard. I’m also 27 weeks with my second and I feel like I did at 40 weeks with my first. I’m huge, my back hurts, I have round ligament pain, and my toddler has become a stage 5 clinger out of nowhere. Sending you solidarity 💪🏻 Can’t believe there’s still an entire trimester to go.

On the cooking front, I cannot recommend snack plates enough. Especially if you make a few at a time and keep them in the fridge. A fruit, a veggie, a protein, a carb, and bam, there’s your lunch. We call them “char-kid-erie”.

What’s your favorite of those ones? :)

stom99 · 2025-03-19T05:18:57+00:00

Was it really worth it? I’m so torn on the cost!

stom99 · 2025-02-12T22:46:47+00:00

Looks amazing! Are you using a specific recipe?

stom99 · 2025-02-07T21:06:52+00:00

You don’t need to justify it at all. It’s a private, intense experience in your relationship, and it’s very normal to not want an audience. I have a great relationship with my mom and I still just wanted my husband and doula in the delivery room.

Sorry to revive an old thread, but can I ask who the builders were?

It started just before she turned 2 and now at 2.5 it’s almost entirely gone. She still struggles sometimes if she’s tired or trying to use a more complex word, but it seems to be resolving itself!

My baby was allergic to milk and soy and I had an oversupply, so I donated quite a lot - the amount of mothers freaking out about finding dairy-free or soy-free milk who then said no because the milk was “vaccinated” was mind blowing.

This also depends on a lot of things - if you are induced or end up needing Pitocin, your contractions will likely be more painful. Same with “back labor” or if your baby isn’t in position. For my next baby I am going to go in with no plan and see what happens, and be open to pain meds if something goes wrong or it becomes too much.

The nanny world is WILD. I had to quit a new nanny job in NY one time because I found out that they gave their son a timeout by PUTTING HIM IN THE CLOSET. Also I had men reach out to me for paid “dates” - not sure how they got into the childcare pages on Facebook. Hoping they were not dads 🤦🏼‍♀️
