Parental Preference at Bedtime

Our 2.5 year old loses her mind if dad does bedtime while mom is still at home. If mom leave the house before bedtime, bedtime is a breezy for dad. I am currently 28 weeks with our second and stressed about how bedtime might look after bringing home our second.

Just looking for similar experiences, tips, support :)

Its completely normal phase for this age. Some days my toddler wants mom and some days dad and some days grandma.
Now that second baby is coming, id slowly start handing out bedtime responsibility to dad. Id just disappear to another room or floor while bedtime is happening and dad can tell LO that mommy isn't home etc. She will gradually get used to dad for bedtime.
Good luck!

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.
