Carriers

Anyone use a side sling carrier or tush baby type thing? I’m considering getting one and I want people’s input please. My son is probably 26-27 lbs now

I have been wondering the same. Seems like the tush baby would be nice with the added diaper/wipe storage.

I have both! My hands reach for the tush baby more than the gooseket but I love the fact the gooseket is compact. (Can put it inside the diaper bag)

Now, what’s stronger? Lol if your back is weak (back pain), you will like the side sling
But if your shoulder is weaker , the tush baby. 🥲🤣😅

*checkout Ergobaby Alta hip seat baby carrier! It’s hip seat that converts to a carrier!

I agree with Rachel. I have both a Tush Baby and a Senarah sling carrier.
The sling is nice because it is compact, does the job, and my son (15 months 27lbs) does not have to hold on. But it does weigh on your shoulder but I also might not have mine fit properly, I am still playing with it.
The Tush Baby is nice, I like the storage, and for me my hips handle the weight better, but my son doesn't like to hold on and has tried to slide off to get away. Also it is not as compact. Honesty I carry both in my car. If I had to choose one I would probably get the sling. Other side note my sister got the Mom Cozy version of the Tush Baby and it seemed to be the same to me and came with the added attachment that holds the baby/toddler to you.

I used the wildbird ring sling and really liked it! Mostly because of how easy it was to get baby in and out. But also because it fit in my diaper bag. It also set the baby on my hip which was nice for getting close enough to countertops and sinks to get work done. I used it through 30lbs. When baby started wanting to walk everywhere instead of being carried everywhere.

I got the tush baby when my daughter was about 10 months because I injured my shoulder enough to need physical therapy. At first it was a godsend but when she reached about 17/18 lbs I stopped using it. My husband uses it with the snug attachment and absolutely loves it. He used it all over our first vacation together. But I think the most important factor is your size. I’m small & 5’1, so it put a lot of strain on my torso. Also if you have any pelvic floor issues, it puts a lot of pressure where you don’t want pressure. But for my taller friends, it works great!

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.

I feel like just a milk cow

Hi I have a 16 day old via c section, I'm a FTM never having been around babies before as I am the youngest of my household and from a small family. My husband is fantastic with our little one. But ever since I've had the baby I just feel like the only thing I'm good for is producing milk. I feel disconnected from my husband like the only reason he's around is because am producing milk. We were having some issues before the baby and we're struggling it took a while to feel like he was onboard even though he said he was from the moment we found out. I dunno if I'm feeling like a spear part because I'm lacking confidence with baby or because I feel like he wouldn't mind being a single dad. Is this postpartum hormones or something else?

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Crawling

Did anyone’s little one start crawling yet? I feel like we are falling behind but really have no idea. I’m trying to introduce more floor time but it’s been rough because of having hardwood floors and our 80 lb oblivious to life dog. I got us a carpet for the living room and trying to put the dog out more when the weather allows. She sits like a pro and will roll to get the things she needs😅 but no real signs of crawling yet.
