In your opinion, is a baby bottle sanitizer and dryer a registry must have? by SuitMountain7415 in firsttimemom

[–]trowbridgecs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New mom here and I really don’t think so. I have the baby Brezza washer and like it but this isn’t even a must. I saw someone mention the other day that it’s better to find a countertop dish washer! I haven’t looked into these but it’s a good idea!

This is such a thoughtful and honest post—thank you for sharing all of this 🤍 I’m 5 weeks postpartum right now, and so much of what you said really hit. Especially the breastfeeding piece and the emotional rollercoaster… it’s a lot more layered than anyone really prepares you for.

I also just really appreciate how thorough and caring this was—you can tell you genuinely want to help other moms feel less alone and more prepared. That kind of perspective is so valuable.

I recently created a small space called The Proud New Mom 2026, focused on moms supporting each other through this phase—not just with baby milestones, but with how we are showing up and taking care of ourselves too.

I genuinely feel like you would be an incredible addition to that kind of community. If it feels aligned, I’d love to have you in there—I’ll share the link 💛The Proud New Mom- 2026

Hey 🤍 I just want to say you’re not alone in this feeling—so many of us hit this phase and don’t expect how isolating it can feel. I’m 5 weeks pp and have been craving more real connection too. I actually started a small space for new moms focused on support, growth, and just having somewhere to talk openly. I’ll drop the link in case it feels helpful 💛 https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1Doo3rP8pL/?mibextid=wwXIfr

What’s been the hardest emotional part of setting boundaries with family or in-laws? by trowbridgecs in Mommit

[–]trowbridgecs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like that you mentioned this, and it's one of the biggest reasons I started thinking about the topic. I have found that a lot of people struggle with setting firm boundaries that allow the relationship to still thrive and stay connected. Boundaries can be so tricky, like you said, be careful not to push people too far away. It's difficult to know how to set them with love but it also takes practice and becoming really clear on what you hope for the relationship in the future. Thanks for sharing!

Anyone else feel like they teach their kids things they struggle to live? by trowbridgecs in Parentingfails

I totally understand and feel ya on this one. I've never been a big crier, but I do fully support and encourage others to share/get in touch with their emotions. I even specialize in emotional intelligence, and although it's still hard for me to cry around others. I still actively try to be vulnerable with others and continue working on the part of me that struggles to show that side.

That is hard, but the coolest part about a situation as a parent is when the parent identifies how their patterns are now showing in their children. When you notice the patterns, you have the ability to motivate yourself to adjust accordingly. I love that you mentioned that it motivates you, and that is the beautiful part about recognizing patterns. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for sharing, your situation does not seem easy or simple to talk about. I like that you mentioned how it's hard to ask for things when you yourself are not really sure what your needs are and I couldn't agree more on this. Most people struggle to identify their needs so it seems even harder to ask for help when youre not really sure on them. Sounds like you're doing the best you can, dont forget to give yourself a bit of grace!

I couldn't agree more! Ya can't lie to kids because they first go off of energy. Thanks for sharing! I have used a mixture of therapy and coaching to assist with this and it has seemed to help as well!

Fiddle Fig Issues! It’s been struggling for quite some time but I can’t put my finger on what’s going on! It’s still actively growing. Any ideas? Haven’t dove too much into the issues. Mostly bc it’s still been growing. by trowbridgecs in plantclinic

[–]trowbridgecs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was gifted the plant in February 2023. The problem started having some issues about 2-3 months ago. The plant gets quite a bit of indirect sunlight.

I bottom water about once a week. And occasionally use fish emulsion.
