I completely understand, you can always just tell your guests that it’s going to be a very simple party and see if anyone else would be able to make the cake and/ or bring any food. ❤️ I hope it works out

Awwe, I know you just want to make her first birthday unforgettable but you can still celebrate it simply. What’s important is that she’s happy and healthy. ❤️ I can let you borrow some decorations for her first birthday, mine just turned 1 last may 8.

Why don’t you try to join a group on Facebook called Buy Nothing and look for your City or town and I’m sure people might be able to help with decorations, maybe some extra food they have or something related. It doesn’t hurt to ask. Good luck mommy.

She doesn’t know what day her birthday is. Look on marketplace for free or cheap decor and you can get some novelty foods from food banks or churches. Right now birthdays are for us, babies don’t understand what a birthday is, maybe just having a really nice day together to celebrate. It doesn’t have to cost a single penny. Make good food, spend time laughing and playing together, take pictures somewhere fun with your phone to remember your day. It doesn’t have to cost money to celebrate.

I'm just doing a get together with my husband the kids and my family my siblings and some aunts and uncles.
We are literally just using food from the food shelf and throwing something together.

It can be super laid back. You can just do a candle with a 1 on it and do cupcakes or even just cookies.

Rolling yet?

My LO is 16 weeks and not rolling yet. We have done a couple from front to back. But not back to front. She likes to sleep on her side and gets angry she can’t get there herself.

My oldest didn’t roll until he was a lot older but I wondered what everyone else’s January babies are doing.

What week did yours start to roll?

Extremly sweaty at night

Happy due date .

Born on the 11th of may ! How are you mum and babies doing ? X

Small opening

I’m 8 week PP and there’s still a small bit of my wound that will not fully heal! It’s only surface level but one day it looks like it healing well then the next it’s open again. It’s only a tiny area and I’ve had antibiotics already. I’ll see the doctor about it when they open again next week but has anyone else had this and can give me any tips on helping it heal? Previous advise was let it open to air but that’s really hard while caring for a baby!

What do you think of the name Milo?

Big sister is called Lily, baby brother Milo?
