Interacting with baby

Apart from talking, reading, tummy time, are you doing anything else with your 6-8 week olds? I feel like I'm not keeping baby stimulated enough in the short periods they're awake

Is it bad???

That I’m one and done? I feel so guilty to not give my daughter another sibling but she is a hard baby and newborn stage was so awful for me and struggled really bad with PPD.

Also not support from family members either so it just me and husband

Thoughts?

Discipline?

My son is 20 months and was jumping on the bed today and I was telling him we sit down on the bed because we don’t want to get a coco.(cut) he just kept laughing and doing it. I grabbed his hand and sat him down. How does everyone tell their child no without saying no? Because if I said no he just would say no jump and still do it. Also my bf would talk to him in a serious tone right away listens I do it and nothing and I’m the one with him 24/7 so if anyone has any advice on what to do and how I can better my methods because I don’t want him to be one of those kids that no one wants to be around 😅

How do you politely tell your MIL to stop folding everything

I have said it MANY times that she doesn't need to fold our clothes or do our laundry. Yet I'll come home from a baby class to find a load of laundry on (nothing separated, the whites have turned grey) and clothes folded. I have to stop the washer, pull out all the white clothes (some of white I've had to put in a bleach bath to get back to being white) and refold or unfold clothes so I can put them away properly. All of our socks have one super stretched elastic and one normal tension.
It has been almost 3 years of this. She shrank the only pjs that were comfortable to sleep in while pregnant with my son, when I was pregnant with my daughter. And before you say I probably just gain weight because of the bump, bump does not affect the length of your arms.

Feeds

Hello, just looking for some advice! My little one is 15 weeks today, he tends to have x5 feeds in a 24 hour period, consisting of 6oz. His last feed is usually 11.30pm and he sleeps through until around 7.30am, in which we feed him. However, the past few days, he hasn’t had much interest in his morning bottle, and it’s a bit of a task to even get him to drink 4oz. I was wondering if it could be worth upping his day feeds slightly, to get rid of the 11.30pm feed, meaning his last one would be around 8pm, and he is still getting his daily cal intake?

Hope this makes sense 🤣

Any advice would be fab! X

Annoyed 😒

I’m about to cut off a “friend”. So, I’ve known this friend since my early 20s. We are in our early 30s now. She is still doing the same shit since when we were younger. Every relationship she’s been in, she has had a kid. She will get into a new relationship and then get pregnant a few months into the relationship. She’s with this new guy and swears up and down that “he’s the one” okay cool. If he is, that’s great. My issue…. She keeps getting having these kids and calls me to complain about said kids. (She’s pregnant with #6) y’all….I’m so sick of her. At this point, I’m biting my tongue from telling her to stop getting pregnant if all you’re going to do is call me to bitch about anything related to her kids. Completely optional to continue having kids and really tired of her complaining about them lol. Would I be an asshole if I cut her off? I feel like at this point in my life, I have grown from that. I only have 2 kids and have settled down. Don’t really have anything in common with her anymore…

Is this a joke?

So my baby turns two this weekend. This past weekend we went out to get some things for the party, nothing crazy, and while we were out; out of nowhere while driving my partner of 12 years says “Is (Our first child) mine? (First) looks nothing like me. (Second) looks exactly like me to a t”. I just looked at him and said “seriously” he then says ”relax, its a joke” so I asked him what part of that was funny and to explain the humor because I don’t see any and don’t find it funny. This is the first time he’s ever said something like that so I imagine someone’s either in his ear or something else is going on. And before anyone asks, yes they’re both his. Any ideas? Suggestions?
