Second pregnancy

This is my second pregnancy but with a boy this time. I’m making a registry but I’m not too sure what to put I already have a lot of stuff most gender neutral I had my daughter almost 2 years ago. Mostly I need to out clothes but if anyone has any advice on what else to put on the baby registry that would be great.

I would say boy clothes, diapers, wipes, meds (Tylenol, gas drops, gripe water), diaper cream, double stroller

Things you need two of. Another car seat, humidifier, stroller fan, sunglasses. Probably need new nipples for the bottles and new teethers. Some recommend new beds for cribs. I would look at baby must have videos, new stuff is available. I got an amber reading light for my daughter to use at night, so I could have it on all night and be able to see her if she cried. The color didn’t disturb her, my husband, or me. I saw a video of a mom saying how much she liked it,

I’ll send you my register list it might help you get some ideas etc. my sisters who’s a neonatal nurse put it together. https://mycrib.uk/28693/

I mean besides the basic that I think can apply for any baby (I.e clothes, diapers, wipes), for our boy it was nice having a wipe warmer because it helped prevent him peeing all over us, we also loved getting the owlet sock of our registry since it’s so expensive, also some moms recommended to put circumcision aftercare stuff on our registry but we didn’t circumcise so I didn’t but you can always add that too.

After the first baby, it’s nice to keep it simple. The baby won’t know he’s in boy or girl clothes and it sounds like you already have a lot of gender neutral stuff.
For future babies the only things on our registry will be Amazon and door dash gift cards, and diaper fund/529 plan contributions.

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?

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....

Rant/WWYD

My sister (youngest, 24) has two kids, 4 & 1, and i (oldest, 30) just have my one who’s 6mo old right now, so i ask her for advice or call her to vent about things sometimes. Well im tired of her turning around and telling my other family members that I’m “losing my sh*t.” Literally have not lost my sh*t nor have i ever freaked out to her about my baby, i just call her to talk and tell her what stage my baby is in or talk through how im feeling, but she chooses to tell people that im like a complete nutcase or something which worries me that my family is going to start being judgmental about me as a mother or looking at me funny like I’m some fragile ticking time bomb.

What would you do in this situation? I’m already pretty much decided that I’ll stop telling her anything about my struggles, but I’m almost at the point where i feel like it should be confronted because she, of all people, should understand what I’m going through.

Rapid cool/ hot shot method

Sorry if this sound stupid but how are we doing the hot shot method?
Are we boiling the kettle and letting it cool a little before adding to hot flask? Then with the cool water do you boil the kettle and leave it to cool right down before putting into another flask?
My baby brain is fried trying to work out the easiest way!

Night time routine

Heya, my 3 week old daughter is currently exclusively breastfed and I’m not pumping. Can anyone recommend the best way to share the load with my partner? At the moment I’m doing all the feeds/burbs/settling and my partner is sleeping through which obviously isn’t sustainable, I’m trying to work out the best way to get him involved. Any advice very much appreciated!

i just want someone to talk to😔😔😔😔

when things get hard i have nothing not any support from my partner im convinced he doesn’t even love me anymore but thats another story
I have a 3 yo and a 2yo that are in bed sleeping only just now. I have a 1 yo that’s been sleeping from 8 o’clock to 10 o’clock. I just gave her her milk and she would’ve gone back to sleep if it wasn’t that
I lost her dummy earlier in the day when I went out
so now she won’t go back to sleep and she won’t accept any of the other dummy’s i have!😔😔and it’s 10 o’clock and I’m gonna be up until 3 o’clock with her and when she does want to go to sleep i won’t have any dummy to give her she will accept and she won’t sleep without it i just wanna cry 😔i have nobody to talk to and i feel so alone i get no support from anybody i’m so tired and i don’t feel well to top it off😔
