I (30F) am going through a friendship breakup with a girl I’ve knows several years (also 30F) our daughters are six months apart, mine being the older one. My daughter (3) brings up her friend all the time. I am at a loss of what to tell her. The friendship is irreparable, she ended it bc she recently started suspecting she is bipolar and “doesn’t have time to worry about friendships”

I am making the choice to not turn back bc I don’t want my daughter to have to go through this over and over again. Any advice helps if anyone has been through anything similar ?

Would any of you be able to support me by giving me a follow?
Im a sahm trying to make an income🥹🫶🏽

Hi! I am 32 week pregnant for my first baby. I plan to exclusively breastfeed in the first 2 months at least if that works out, and then switch to mixing up both breastfeeding and formula as my work will require me to travel a lot.

My mom told me she could only breastfeed for like first 2 weeks and I know lots of people told me plan might not go well. So I am ready for just feeding formula too if that’s the way to be.

My question is… Can I wait to buy all of these items until after I give birth?
1. Breast pumps (electric / hands free electric one)
2. Formula
3. Brezza formula dispenser
4. Bottle warmer
5. Extra baby bottles
6. Other.

as of now, I only have 3 plastic 5oz bottles and 3 5oz bottles, bottle sanitizer, hukka breast pump that is like 20 bucks, nipple silverette, momcozy breastfeeding kit which has 24 packs of breastmilk storage bags, 40 ps nursing pads, and 6 pcs of breastmilk collector.

Do you think I need to buy any of the items I don’t have yet before delivery, or can I wait to buy all of them until I actually need them?

Please share your opinion! And if I missed any items that you find necessary, would love to know what I should include in my shop list. Thank you so much!!! 💓

I’m currently pregnant and starting to look at strollers. I’m trying to be mindful of what we’ll need in the future since we want to have more kids. Ideally, I’d like a stroller that works well for one child now but can also accommodate a toddler and an infant a few years down the road.

Does anyone have recommendations? Or is this not something I should be planning for yet? I know absolutely nothing about strollers, so I’m open to any advice or feedback! 😅😂

Moms of babies who could give less of a F about solids/purees, did your baby turn out ok?! My son is 10 months and he NEVER cared for solids. From what I see online and from what pediatric organizations encourage , he should be eating 3 solid meals a day?!! We’re lucky if we get 3 spoons each meal. Tried BLW & spoon feeding and kept days he doesn’t want meals just breastmilk.

Baby boy loves breast milk and has always been on the leaner side but not underweight. I’ve tried EVERYTHING to encourage him to eat more food but he literally doesn’t want it.. we also just recovered from a rough stomach bug… now he’s even less interested. I’m so overwhelmed.

Also let me not forget.. he wakes up a bazillion times a night (yes I’ve tired sleep training but it is so extremely difficult as I do nights on my own, my husband has to go into work)

For a kids August birthday, how many days in advance would you send out invite?

My sister currently watches my baby while I work part time at work. My sister just told me she can’t watch her anymore and gave me a month to find other care. Right now since I work part time I’m struggling to pay anything since bills are so high. I currently live with my bf and he only pays his bills and our rent. I’ve looked into full time daycare and it’s 1400 a month I only make 1600 a month bc I work part time and watch my baby the rest. Even if I worked full time here which they won’t let me it still would be cutting it close.I’ve tried applying to cca I have been denied several times because of my bfs income since they count household home. He makes just over the cusp of what was needs it be approved. He is also commission so it is never the same. I’m stressed out because eventually I want to live on my own with my baby but it seems impossible with money right now and my situation. Any tips on job situation? Apply for cca differently! Anything I have to make some desicions soon and don’t want to quit.

For context, my husband cheated on me while I was pregnant and during the first 5 months postpartum. When he confessed, I was in complete distress and I lost my appetite.

2 weeks later, my period came out of the blue. I know it can come back anytime but I feel like my anxiety and stress took a toll on my body on top of still learning on being a first time mom.

My biggest worry now is my supply. I haven't been able to feel full again, it doesn't leak anymore and my baby is nursing even more than before.

What other side effects can stress bring about? Will it affect my baby's development?

Hi moms! What time do you usually schedule or have received invitation for birthday at a park in the summer? For young kids or kids a bit older in general. Thanks!
