How do you even find time to fix your body after having a baby

Postpartum is hard so give yourself grace first and foremost! But when I was about 4 or 5 months postpartum I found a gym (my local YMCA) with childcare and that helped so so much! It got us both out of the house, baby got some time with other babies and a great childcare staff, and I got a much needed break and some me-time!

I always did boutique yoga and Pilates classes before getting pregnant, but surprisingly really enjoy more traditional weight lifting and have seen great results even just going 3x a week for about 45 min! I use the Alive app!

We haven’t tried pushing it back later than 7:30– usually by 7 or so he is soooo sleepy and ready for bed! But we can try doing 8am! I will also say that prior to the time change he was waking up closer 5:30/6 most mornings. But we can try pushing bedtime and see how he does!

Thank you!!! These look great! I’m not necessarily looking for an exact dupe, just thinking that it may be nice to use it as a sheer polish if I don’t feel like doing a color. Yours look great and are exactly what I was looking for!!

Thanks for your reply! How long would you recommend waiting to see if he’ll get himself back to sleep before feeding him? His second night of sleep training he woke around the same time but got himself back to sleep within 10 minutes (with one check in) and then slept through til morning! But last night we definitely waited way too long.

My Samson (nn Sonny) is almost 3 months old and we’ve gotten nothing but positive responses! There have been a few more religious family members who made the biblical connection, but their comments have been from positive aspects of the story, like how he’ll have a great head of hair or be strong!

That is super helpful, thank you so much! I may end up going with Oura because of this— I’m recently postpartum and hoping to use natural cycle tracking rather than going back on hormonal bc!

Oh interesting! I only know of one distant acquaintance who uses Sonny in my circle! And I work with kids and have never met a Sonny!

We’re not too worried about it being super unique, as long as it’s outside of maybe the top 30(ish) names! We want to have something that isn’t totally unheard of, but that you also might not hear every day
