Should I still be tracking?

My boy will be 1m old tomorrow and I stopped tracking feeds, diapers, etc. around 2 weeks old because it made me more anxious and I knew my supply was good+I just feed on demand. Now though I’m seeing moms still tracking at this age and beyond. Should I still be tracking too? Is this 2nd child syndrome? Are you all still tracking? Help pls 😅😂

Is it bad to say I always just fed on demand and their was always dirty diapers so I found no point in tracking… I didn’t track with my first and I’m not tracking with my second…

Showering with my baby? Is it unsafe/ wrong?

Is it weird to take a shower with my baby boy? Is it a bad thing? I’ve been thinking about it a lot lately because I can never shower I’m 11 weeks pp and my husband started a new job. He is gone all day to work and I can’t just leave my baby alone so I can shower. I can’t hear the monitor over the running water and even if he is sleeping if I leave the room he wakes up and starts crying and doesn’t stop unless I pick him up and if I put him down again he cries again and I’m against letting my baby just cry it out. So I’ve been neglecting my own self care and hygiene and it’s really taking a toll on my mental health. So I guess what I’m really wondering is it wrong, and is it unsafe?

Boy night time diapers

Hey boy mommas! I have a 5 month old tomorrow and for the past couple nights, he’s started peeing through his diapers at night and soaking his clothes. Any suggestions on the best night time diapers for baby boys who pee a lot?

Next to me crib

Is my baby growing out of her next to me? She’s 4.5 months old and I’m not ready to put her in her own room yet (I know should wait until 6 months anyway) but is she still okay in this crib?

Are nursing bras worth it?

Pregnant with my first I do plan to exclusively breast feed. I definitely don’t want pads or underwire. Are nursing bras with the front hooks worth it or do yall just pop a boob our the bottom of a bralette?

How many wake ups?

How many times are you having to settle baby during the night? Is baby still in your room or in their own room? If baby is sleeping in their own room, how many times do you go to their room to settle them in the night?

I’m just unsure if it’s worth put my little one in her own room when when she is needing settling multiple times in the night in her sleep (she isn’t fully waking up but wanting her dummy put back in if she can’t find it herself or the cot rocking?

How can I get enough sleep 😴

My 11 month old has never been a great sleeper. He went to bed at 8:00pm last night. Me and my partner tidied up and went to sleep at 9ish. Baby still wakes 3 times a night and can take a while to resettle. My partner wakes up at 5 for work and he is also very tired.

He often wakes up close to my alarm too (when working). My alarm was set for 6 and baby woke up at 4:30. He only went back to sleep in his cot at 5:30. Meaning there is no time for me to go back to sleep and my day has started at 4:30.

Even when going to bed at 9, I still cannot catch enough sleep to get me through the day. I am 14 weeks pregnant and the tiredness is hitting me hard.
