Please give me some advice 😔

So I have a two year old and a one year old and I’m currently making them sleep in there room now because I give birth but in like 24 days but in the middle of the night they cry and come n the Room with me so last night I decided to lock my door but my daughter was saying please mommy and my son was crying loud so I cried and tried to hold out but I gave in but I know when the new baby come it’s going to be so hard for me what should I do and my one year old son is so attached and lately it got worse I think he know the new baby is coming or something I just don’t want my kids to feel like I’m pushing them to the side because I have a new baby but I also know this is gonna be so hard on me so any suggestions because I been so emotional lately because I just know I’m gonna be stressed out with 3 under 3 and my husband work 2 jobs Monday n Tuesday he off Wednesday he work 7-4 and Thursday -Sunday he work is 1st job 7-3:30 and second job 4-12 so he be tired so what can I expect from him I just know he not going to be home very much but what should I expect he have to pay the bills at the end of the day so idk. 🤦🏾‍♀️

Hi ! I would probably cut their nap times in hopes that it would get them to sleep longer throughout the night . If you haven’t already , maybe getting them a “cool” night light can help? There are some nice star effect ones on Amazon that start at about $10-15.

You can also try making their beds a little bit more fun - I saw these tent like things on Amazon , currently thinking about purchasing one for my 2.5 year old since they like to sleep with me and I’m trying to get him to sleep on his own . Below is the one I have in my cart but there are other options :)

Do they share a bedroom? If not, sharing a bedroom might be a good idea, they’ve then got company will probably keep eachother up and play but the novelty will eventually wear off, don’t acknowledge them when they’re playing and they won’t do it for attention. Just set a baby monitor up and baby proof the room.
Is it the same time every night?

I have a 1yo and a 3mo and I just transitioned my son to his bed in his room (they share a room right now). He started out crying at first but I always stayed with him (sat on his bed because I didn’t want him being reliant on me cuddling with him to sleep). I bought a nightlight with music and I leave his door and our door open. He used to come crying about an hour after falling asleep, but I was patient and would redirect him to his bed and sit in his room with him until he fell asleep. Did this for a week. Now, we are atp where I can say, night night time let’s go get in the bed and he goes to his bed and we do our nightly routine and then he is sleeping! Still wakes occasionally for milk but I redirect him to his bed to wait for me until I bring it. I put both of my kids to sleep at the same time so I don’t burn myself out if one start doing too much (dad work nights).

My suggestion to you is to be patient, it will be hard at first but stay consistent and keep a routine.

Mama needs new friends ✨

Hey mamas 🤍 I'm going to be honest — I'm at a season in my life where I'm craving real, genuine friendship. The kind where we actually check on each other. Where conversations go both ways. Where we can laugh, vent, cry, and just *be* without it feeling one-sided.

I'm a stay at home mom of 6 (yes, 6! 👏🏼) and my days are full but my cup feels a little empty in the friendship department. I'm looking for women who get it — the chaos, the beauty, the exhaustion, all of it.

If you're a mom who values deep, reciprocal friendship and you're also out here looking for your people — drop a 👋 below. Let's actually get to know each other. 🤍

Leaving your baby

Has anyone else not left their baby to be looked after by someone else (not dad) yet? I still don't feel ready but am being told I should be by now

Random but when you use a vibrator do you need to hold your lips open for it to touch the bean ?

It gets annoying because even if I open my legs I still need to hold the lips open to touch the bean and I have to do it the entire time my lips are literally sealed closed 🤣
