I have tried everything - blinds, drapes, etc. the best thing if it's just temporary and you can live with ugly, is just taping black garbage bags to the windows..anything else is going to let in at least some light if it's not right up against the glass

We use this currently and find it completely blacks out the room. I just bought extra Velcro tape to secure it in place

There is blackout window film that will do a great job, it's expensive though.

I bought a blackout sheet and trimmed it to the size of my window and the Velcro it to the window panels & then hung black out curtains over

I’ve used black out blinds and drapes and it blocks out the light. I’ve used these for the drapes as a temporary solution https://a.co/d/iAKbAXM

Our house faces west and we do have blackout blinds but not dark enough for summer time. We opted to get this. These are pretty cool and temporary which is nice that we can take them down and put them back up. It’s cut to fit! It also keeps our room cooler too. We co-share our room currently! Hopefully this helps!

We use the blackout window film (bought on Amazon) and it works amazing! Room is totally dark :)

We both work night shift and we have these. They're the best ones I've found that don't have to be applied directly to the window (10+ years night shift....I've tried a lot of options!). They still let in a tiny bit of light around the edges, but it's a huge difference.

I have these too I also bought the side overs so it’s fully blacked out! Love it.

Thank you all for the recommendations. I have tried some Velcro ones but I was not happy with the quality. I guess it depends on the brand. I ll look at different solutions mentioned here! 😊

Breastfeeding

Does it ever feel better? The actual feeding part of it is going really well and baby boy is growing so well. I’m struggling with how my boobs feel day to day - it’s really getting me down most days. The let downs make me feel awful and sounds silly but, I am also really missing not wearing a bra! 9 weeks postpartum and still getting fairly engorged, even with comfort pumping.

Any advice or just shared stories would help. I’m so torn between carrying on because I enjoy the feeding side of it or switching to formula.

Help! First time mum -

I have a 4 month old and now all of a sudden when he’s been asleep for 1hr30/2hrs he will wake up screaming (high pitched) I’ve tried winding him sometimes that helps, I’ve tried bicycle legs & bringing his knees up but that doesn’t seem to help but he brings his knees up himself sometimes but nothing happens. I’ve noticed since the 4 month mark he has started to struggle passing wind downwards! Any tips?

Bath Time

Help! My baby is 3 and a half weeks old. Every bath she goes in quite happy but will only stay like this for a very few mins, if I try to clean her or move her we have tears and after a few mins the same. It's like she is scared. Our current baby bath is quite big should I try a different one? Looking for any suggestions as want her to enjoy bath time not be upset and I'm scared I'm going to make her hate it😢💗

Big nursing bras!

I’m looking for recommendations for good nursing bras for bigger breasted ladies!

I’m currently in a 38H which seems to be the biggest size done at M&S (UK based mama here) and it’s snug and not as supportive as I’d like. When I look online, they mainly seem to be sized S, M, L, XL etc rather than bra sizes.

Any recommendations please?

Strange question

Hello. I would identify myself as asexual but yes i am married and i have a child. But now that ive had my baby. I think its solidified that im done having sex. I feel bad as my partner keeps asking me but i just dont want to. Any advice on what i can do? Any other asexual moms out there? I guess this could be confusing but im not huge on being bound by a label. I have just always felt it represented me best since highschool.
