Bathtime backache

Hey all, what are we doing to save our poor backs during bath time?

I'm still waiting on the 6 week clear to take a bath so can't jump in with her. And even if I could, do I still have to have it shallow? I couldn't cope with the coldness!

I have an angel care bath and leaning over is taking its toll! Also if anyone has tips for strengthening back muscles I'll give those a try!

Can her dad give baths and you dress her ? That’s how I do it with my husband , or maybe put a stool in the tub , we have an angel care and a fisher price. We would put the fisher price on the bathroom counter when she was little

If husband can’t help I’d buy an actual baby bath tub for now x

Hot days

Hi there, just wanted to ask if is safe to sleep with the window open when is so hot outside? I have a 8 week old baby and i m thinking that might be dangerous for her but in the same time is extremely hot in the room. Thank you ☺️

As a mother of nonverbal kids I need y'all with verbal kids to know that our babies are being abused at school.

Every other day there is something. A mom put a camera in her son's braids and caught a teacher choking him and calling him the n word. Poor baby couldn't speak but she knew something was up. There were multiple autistic kids in a school being taken to a basement and stripped naked.

I hope you teach your kids if they see something to say something to you because not everyone's babies can.

Stopping formula

Hiya! My son is just over 8 months and is on 3 meals a day, I had to start weaning at 5 months as he’s a hungry baby 😂 He has a bottle when he wakes up and one before he goes to bed. But when should I stop formula and just give whole milk?

how long does your LO sleep for?

i hope it's normal or i just hit the baby jackpot but my 2m old can sleep (nap) for 3+ hours.. I don't want to wake her but i feel bad because i'd think she'd be hungry by now? ofc i fed her when she wakes up but im just curious if sleeping 3+ hours is okay?? I will feed her and try to keep
her awake but then she'll go right back to sleep lol i shouldn't be complaining but that girl can sleeppppp.



FTM btw.

Why did you stop breastfeeding your newborn?

Specifically for mums who tried breastfeeding but ultimately stopped in the first couple of months. I feel like I’m close to giving up, wondering what the most common reason for it is.

Abusive Husband

Im really looking for advice on leaving your abusive husband when you have (a) child(ren.) Im looking for advice as a sahm who unfortunately is very sick right now. On how to get out and ensure your baby is syill going to be taken care of when you havent been able to work. Some background of what im going through Hes trying to get a "co parent" in the home situation (a together but seperate) but my alarms go off on that because he knows hes been abusive and that would be represented in court. I dont know how court would go with custody hes trying to push for 50/50 and the thought of me not being able to know how hes treating my baby during that time makes me sick to my stomach. I dont have the best relationship with my family but they'll still "help" where they can. Hes abused me financially, mentally, physically, sexually, hes isolated me from my family. His is in his ear making up all kinds of wild things and even enabling the abuse. My family tells me I need to sit down with him and talk about a divorce, but ive tried I just get a run around, he gets aggressive when I try to assert any type of power and ive been trying to do the fake it till you can walk away and its not working with how abusive he is. Any advice would be greatly appreciated
