Being pressured on having a second child

Baby girl is only 7 weeks and my MIL is pressuring me to have a second. I’m content with one. We never thought we could have children so it’s amazing to have baby here now. I’m an only child and I turned out okay. There also plays the fact of time and finances. We have dogs and an apartment.

Baby Monitor Recommendations?

Hey Mammas!
Looking into a baby monitor that isn’t easy for someone to hack into (my sister had someone hack into the WiFi on theirs and take a screen shot of their babies sleeping 😳). I would also like to be able to see my baby from work and talk to her.
Any suggestions? TIA!

White noise for babies… I’m curious what everyone else does 🤍😴

A few questions for you all:

– Do you use white noise for naps, nighttime, or both?
– What type do you use (machine, app, YouTube, etc.)?
– Do you leave it on all night or turn it off once baby is asleep?
– What volume do you keep it at?
– Have you noticed it actually helps your baby settle?
– Do you worry about them becoming dependent on it?
– How long did you use it for?
– When (and how) did you stop using it? 👀
– Did stopping it affect your baby’s sleep at all?

Would love to hear different experiences because I’m still figuring out what works best! 🤍

No poo

My 6 week old has not pooed for 6 days yet, he has gone for 3-4 days but now it’s 6 days and I’m breastfeeding any advice ?

Co sleeping mamas

My son is 4.5 months. We co sleep

I haven’t noticed a sleep regression other than hes moving around more and more sensitive to if im moving in the bed & will reach out to find me/comfort feed.

Also did your baby start sleeping thru the night & when or do they still wake

Could you name a milestone your child/baby met; that had brought you to tears ?

I tried to feed my baby his bottle.. he was quickly annoyed with me holding it. Loll it was so cute how bothered he was. (( Ofc since he is my precious baby. ))I let the bottle go & He then began to hold it himself ! 😍😍😍 I am so proud of all the milestones he is hitting. It brings me tears of gratitude. 💓💓. Seeing his face, light up. He is why I get up everyday & do what I do. I love you Avery Wavery ❤️❤️❤️.

Sleep

Baby boy has never slept through the night which we accepted early on, contact naps in day. The hourly waking up is driving us crazy. Exclusively breastfeeding and as weeks go on he is adamant to be fed to sleep and uses it as comfort through out the night. Really considering a sleep trainer but heard mixed reviews about this as they don’t always stick to the routine. My husband helps as much as he can which is great. Any tips and honest advice will be so so appreciated please!!! 7 months in and I’m losing hope…
