Washing and raining

If your clothes are out on the line and get wet from the rain. Do you rewash them? I’m not talking a little wet, say you went out and it poured down. But then you left on the line and they half dried again.

Am I crazy?

We sent a list of boundaries & expectations (rules lmao) to my in-laws before the baby comes. The last one was if the baby is fussy or needs to be changed or fed, then hand them to me, De Mama. My MIL said it was “odd” that we would ask for the baby to come to me and not her son, and then she asked why me. My husband told her because I’ll be around the baby the most and it makes the most sense. I said because I’ve held that baby for 10 months and I want them. I know it’s none of her business WHY we implement rules for our home and I know I shouldn’t care because it’s MY home and MY baby but help an anxious, 32-days-left girly out. Am I nuts? Is this an unreasonable rule?

What is a “pop”? Is it people’s gentle way of saying a smack?

Seen this used on here a few times this week saying they “pop” their child if they’ve done something wrong. Are we just trying to sugarcoat hitting here? I don’t think calling it a pop makes it any better🥴

Sleeping with comforter

My baby girl is 6 months and likes to hold a muslin to sleep. If she’s got it she can resettle herself at night but can’t without it. I let her have it while I can watch her on the monitor until I go to bed but then take it. I know guidelines are clear cot until 1 year and I wouldn’t feel safe knowing she had it anyway. Any ideas or suggestions I can try so she doesn’t keep waking just for that comfort which she can’t have?

How can I get my baby to nap in their bassinet?

My baby will only contact nap, and every time I try to put them down in their bassinet, they wake up almost instantly. Has anyone found gentle ways to help their baby nap independently, or is it just a waiting game? Would love to hear what worked for others!

Sleeping/ Nighttime routine

What time is everyone putting baby down to sleep for the night? And what time is their first wake up? Trying to establish a routine for my baby who likes to do things her way 😅
