2nd

My 2.5 year old is brilliant. She has been from easy/simple pregnancy, newborn and now. Sleep, food, doesn’t tantrum etc. She has just been all round great. I would love another like I can’t even explain but I can’t stop thinking about if they are the complete opposite???🤣🤣. Anyone else with the same thoughts?


And I will do it but is it a shock when one is so calm and your second is a bit more wild😆

Oh yes. I think about this daily. I could have ten of my son, no problem. I loved pregnancy. I loved birth. I loved newborn trenches. I am LOVING toddlerhood.

Everything has been easy. No illnesses. Loves daycare. Sleeps decently in his own room throughout the night. Solids was easy. He weaned himself from nursing. Never had any issues nursing (no clogged ducts or anything). He is so social. No selection anxiety. Hit all of his milestones super early. Smoooooooth and easy.

I don’t understand people when they say motherhood is hard or that they’ve lost themselves. I cannot relate at all. We’ve had such an easy, natural, smooth transition into parenthood. It makes me think I’m doing something wrong haha. But yes, I fear our future kids will test us and change all of that real quick lol. 😂

Thats brilliant! Love that❤️ i had an elective c-section(best decision of my life), formula fed my girl, she napped, slept, she NEVER cried as a baby, she has always slept amazingly and now sleeps from 7.30-7.30, goes to a childminder from 9-5 and is absolutely loving it. No social anxiety, hit all her milestones earlier than average too.

I’m so happy for you having it easy, and I hope your next one is too!!🫶🏻

I will let you know lol my son is such an easy sleeper, great newborn, learning so fast, does tantrum but manageable, and I'm 29w pregnant with our second. Starting to get worried she may be the complete opposite too, but tbh I feel like I'm due something because he was so easy 💀😂

Swaddle Transition

Hey moms! 🤍

My name is Gabi, and I’m a first-time mom. My baby will be 7 weeks old tomorrow, and recently I’ve noticed that when he’s swaddled, he keeps escaping and wakes up with one or sometimes both arms out.

I did a little research and saw a lot of recommendations for the Love to Dream swaddle. I understand the concept, but I’m not sure I love it for my baby. I also came across a couple of other transitional swaddles on Amazon—the Omni Swaddle Sack and the 4-Way Houdini-Proof Swaddle Sack—but now I’m second-guessing what to choose.

Before swaddling, we were co-sleeping, and he actually slept really well on his belly. Even now, he seems most comfortable napping on his belly.

I’d love to hear your experiences or recommendations—what worked for your babies during this transition?

Would you take your baby put of the car seat in traffic

We were driving home from pur vacation and at the end our baby was seriously crying. We were stuck in traffic, so i took the baby out of the car seat (i was sitting in the back next to it) and put it back when we were moving faster again. Would you bave done that? Have you been in a similar situation before?

Co-sleeping

Have tried to put baby in the next to me but he is refusing. He is currently sleeping in the najell sleep carrier between me and my husband. Any advice? Co-sleeping is making me anxious!

Earlier bedtime

What time do you put your baby to bed?

I keep seeing that putting them to bed earlier makes them sleep longer? Has anyone tried this? What’s your experience

Is it that deep

My baby did a poo I changed him that was around 8 his dad got in for 8:15 went outside came back and my son had done another poo he starts complaining saying I’m not attentive. He bagged and complained because I hadn’t noticed. Now we’re not talking he changed his nappy. Is it a big deal ?

Ferber method

Those that have tried and succeeded with Ferber method for sleep training, was your baby hysterically crying and going mental when you started? Mine goes absolutely beside herself the moment she’s placed in her cot. I leave the room for maybe 2 minutes I can’t handle anymore than that and then I give up because she doesn’t stop crying until I pick her up. Her face so wet covered in tears 😭 any advice please x
She’s ten months and this is maybe the 4th time I’ve tried it I the last few months.
