Baby registry

Do y’all have a preference about the site for your registry between babylist and Amazon?

Definitely Amazon! We used it for my first baby and loved it. People can ship stuff directly to your house, it’s easy find and use

I started with Babylist so that I could put both Amazon and target in one place but I found it didn’t show everything as one registry, it just said “other registries” so folks would have to click on additional links. Not sure if I wasn’t doing something right lol but we decided to just use Amazon /target individually instead.

I tried to do Babylist for the convenience that it shows different stores that people can buy it from but ultimately the way it was dividing everything I end up sticking to Amazon. Also, Hayley said it gives them the option to deliver straight to your house.

Thank you 🫶🏻🫶🏻

I personally like the amount of options and selections from amazon !

I definitely stuck between both but i think im use my Amazon one; Babylist made it limited

Amazon! More convenient for everyone buying and they can ship directly to your address 😊

I'm using babylist and currently not having any issues. You can also input your address so people can use it to directly send you stuff. My registry is private and only people invited to my shower will see it so privacy wasn't a big deal there. Only thing I am worried about is if people will remember to go back and click I purchased this

I have both so I can add things Amazon doesn’t carry but mostly Amazon. Better discounts and return policy when going directly through them . They’re also very user friendly and people are used to using it! Hope this helps mama

I used Target and Amazon.

I LOVED babylist! You can organize it however you want and people get to see pricing from all over the internet to save the most money. When it came time to purchase then I just made a little spreadsheet of what was the cheapest with all my registry discounts to super-save!

that’s pretty cool! I never understood how that worked, but that’s super neat. I have an Amazon and target registry, can they be turned into a baby list without hassle?

Wdy think of this for a toddler to learn word construction?

I'm open to anything else to start teaching him to read and write. He's 3!

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.

I think Motherhood has made me more bitter than I realized…

This is such a ramble but I don’t know where else to put it all.

I’m four months in and I don’t really have hobbies right now. I don’t do anything for myself except maybe doomscrolling or listening to a podcast while I breastfeed my baby. I used to craft and have game nights with friends. Activities that usually are at least 2 hour stretches. Now if I have an hour free my mind immediately goes to baby, or doing something in the house for baby.

And I thought I didn’t mind. Like I knew postpartum could be very mentally consuming. But I think it’s altering how I view people around me and it’s prodding at my relationship with my husband.

He spends most of his time making food for us, looking after our dogs, playing with the baby, ect. But he still has time for his hobby. Spends maybe an hour a night on it. Even adapted to using a bot for shopping for his hobby after a certain incident where we had to have a heart to heart after he left me home alone with the baby for hours during a busy workday (I work from home) to shop for his hobby.

And yet there’s like this little green eyed monster in me that rages every time I know he’s running off to start up the bot. Even though I’m the reason he does it this way.

We took a family trip last weekend to see his best friend and their kids and let them meet the baby. He brought the laptop. He’s always brought a laptop on trips and it’s never been a problem to me before. But one night we both woke up while the baby was still asleep, and he wandered out of the room. I tried to fall back asleep but couldn’t. So I went to the kitchen to try having something warm to drink to settle me. And he was there at the table running the bot from his laptop. I flipped out at him. But there really wasn’t reason to. It’s not like I needed help with the baby and he was ignoring me. He wasn’t avoiding our friends. He was just awake and unable to sleep and found something to do with his time. Yet my snap reaction was “why the hell would you do this on a family trip?”

I don’t know what it is. Maybe it’s the less complete sleep from baby’s middle of the night feed? My brain being just consumed by baby? Maybe I’m not as over that shopping incident as I thought? But I’m just so annoyed at his hobby right now. The green eyed monster thinks “you could be using that time differently” but realistically to do what exactly??? Stare at our baby in the dark???

I spent probably an hour apologizing to him after I snapped. And he’s of course hurt and frustrated because I said some very mean things in the moment.

I don’t want to be this jealous, angry person. But I also don’t know how to find time for myself in this right now outside of basic hygiene. It’s like I’ve forgotten how to be myself, even if just for an hour.

Maybe I need a therapist.

Naps

How is everyone doing for naps?

Little one is 9 months old and will have 2 half hour naps and one solid 1 hour - 2 hour nap a day

Then settles for night around 9pm. Wakes for a feed around 3:30 then sleeps until 6-7

Vaccination advice

I’m really looking for advice and opinions on vaccines for my baby. I’m not against getting them but also just don’t feel like I know enough about them to make a decision just yet as I’ve had people say to me they don’t agree with them and they can cause issues etc… so I just want as much info as possible. What are everyone’s thoughts and experiences of vaccinating your child? I’m just interested to see everybody’s views (no judgement as I just want to know I’m doing the right thing) thank you x
