Mamas, I’m at a loss over here! I just can’t seem to find my mojo. I’m a FTM to a 4 month old baby boy and I need to sort myself out. I make sure I walk everyday with him, but the diet is difficult. Since breastfeeding, I’ve been wanting sugar so bad. I need to start eating better as I’ve slipped after having my boy. Any diet tips please?

If you want sugar- fruit. Make a fruit salad or something ❤️

Hey babe! If you struggle with sugar cravings stay stocked up with fruit so you can run to that when the cravings kick in, berries and dates also help me also protein shakes with good flavor can satisfy the sweet tooth! Follow me on IG let’s connect in a IFBB bikini pro and got my title
After giving birth so I know a thing or 2 about fitness and diet !

Hey, doll. If you have access to a blender or juicer, I’d recommend making smoothies or juices in the morning to start and include fenugreek, granola, oatmeal, and chia seeds to boost your milk supply. Be sure to up your protein + water intake and continue to take your prenatal vitamins regularly. Try to find a time in the day to create a habit for walks, like every morning or every evening. If you can do some at-home yoga with baby, please do so.💗

thank you so much 🤗❤️

will do 🥰❤️

gonna follow you for fitness tips as I want to lose 40-45lbs of postpartum weight by building muscle. Any at-home workouts you’d suggest?

If you stay home most
Of the time buying a used or
Cheap walker / treadmill for
Ur house will be a game changer, help I lose weight and stay active unless you go outdoors a lot but treadmill helped me go pro during covid! Wouldn’t have id I didn’t have one at home. Also of
Course eating clean,
And basic workouts are best always, lunges, squats, booty kickbacks, anything with dumbbells think old school workouts the basics always work
But to lose weight def bump up cardio,
Clean food and lots of water!

thanks for the tip. I take baby out to walk everyday, but I could definitely purchase some dumbbells for at-home workouts. How many days per week would you recommend? I’m trying to get abs like yours lol.

Girl just start ur day with a 30 min fast walk! and 3-5 x a week good! I do m-Saturday but not gonna lie some days I’m busier at home and miss but I prioritize eating cleaner/lightwr those days!

thank you so much, boo!💗

Of course! U on ig? Send me ur username

yeah I followed you: eloquentlyari

I’m 40 now and my kids aren’t babies anymore but I’m on a weight loss journey. I also crave for sweets like crazyyyyyy! Anything with protein is good like Greek yogurt (bananas or blueberries) keto honey is a lifesaver or whatever u actually “enjoy”

I have asked ChatGPT to create a meal plan for weight loss with a workout plan (postpartum friendly) and it’s been great. Going on one week and I already feel better with eating healthy. I’m not a salad girl but my lunch salad is soooo goood.

You could even tell chat gpt what kind of works outs to give you. @home with no weights or gym or outdoor running etc.

Is this normal?

Is it just my husband that does this? He is able to work from home via his computer and in the mornings and evenings he is on there doing his job. When he is done for the day he tends to stay in the room and either play video games or watch something. He will occasionally come out and play with the girls for a few minutes and that’s it but when I really need him he says he is busy. My daughters are both 1 year old now and I am just wondering how much involvement should he have with them now?
Idk if this is the norm or not…..

Saying NO to buying toys etc

5 year old is getting really envious of others. He is obsessed with items that other kids have at school. I am pestered daily to buy these things in a different style when we already have 3 others. I have seen parents just buying stuff their kid likes which I don't necessarily agree with even when i can afford it. How do you deal with it?

Thoughts?

your soon to be brother in law (upon inquiry) told you that only a few kids from the family were attending his wedding because they are over the age cut off..

Tablet for kids

Alright don’t need any negative Nancy’s telling me not to get my 2yo a tablet so if that’s what your gunna do please don’t participate in my poll.

We’re about to move cross country 3+ day trip and my 2yo and 9m hate the car I’m talking scream their heads off till they are out of their seats. We’ve already changed car seats and it didn’t help so I’d like to at least have one entertained and sit next to baby and try and distract her or put her to sleep. Our new car has tvs but since they are rear faced my 2yo can’t see it.

Debating getting her a tablet or dvd player right now on long car rides I end up giving her my phone because I get so overwhelmed sitting in between both of them screaming and crying.

And yes I do bring different toys I bring snacks I play songs try to distract her other ways but for the sake of not losing my mind on this move I think this is best.

-A very overwhelmed and anxious to move mama 😓

Daycare?

Thoughts on daycare?? Truly, I am SCARED to be leaving my kid for daycare. I literally do not trust anyone, not even family (they haven’t given me a reason it’s just trust issues on my end, you never know). He’s turning 3 and I’ve been a sahm the whole time but tbh my man doesn’t make enough for us to move out somewhere more calm . We live in a ‘not so safe’ area in LA and I’m just not used to living here so I just want us to give my son a better life and in order to speed up the process I would have to work.. I do lashes at home and I’d be open to take new clients so I wouldn’t have to look for work but I’m just scared to lose my license 😭

5 month old activities

Hey everyone my baby is 5 months old and I want to reduce/cut screen time as I have read up on how bad it is what activities did people do to keep their baby entertained. Thank you in advance.
