Dating with a newborn?

Mom guilt is realllll. Just want to know any tips for navigating this? Some background info: not a new person I’m meeting. Someone I’ve known for a long time that probably would’ve been baby’s dad if I was more patient lol. I have a baby girl. Dad not in the picture at allllll.

Go for it

What are you feeling guilty about? I am dating with newborn twins and honestly I just take them with me.

Guilty about not trying to make her dad apart of her life. Introducing her to a man and no certainty it’ll “work out”. Or even having sex the idea of it makes me feel wrong for some reason.

For the things you feel guilty about:

*wait to have him around babies
*wait to have sex

If those are your boundaries and he is your person, he will understand

I say go for it! Maybe wait a little to introduce the LO but I know that can be difficult if you’re the primary care giver. But definitely put yourself out there and have fun 😉

she said she already knew him. If they live in the same city, she does background check and feel him around from mutual parties I don’t see how she would be irresponsible.

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.
