I have. What is it you would like to know??
My LG is breastfed and it hasn't effected her at all.
I have noticed if I miss a day taking it, that I really am emotionally unbalanced. Obviously it's not a cure and I still have my down days. But they're very rare nowadays x

i was prescribed a few different antidepressants before taking sertraline, i’ve found i’ve come on leaps and bounds since starting it it’s made me calmer and helped regulate my emotions way better than before. it won’t work for everyone and it does take time to start noticing it working so be mindful it’s not gonna make everything better tomorrow. all the best mama🥰🥰🥰

Nursery

I dont know if this is a silly Q but in nursery I dont understand how they get all the little ones to nap?? (Under one) like... dont most babies get rocked to sleep? There's not enough hands for that.. are they all just over tired and pass out?? I dont get it

Stepdaughter sent over without underwear

She’s 9 . We went shopping for her and she asked me to check the size of the shorts she had on, I noticed she wasn’t wearing any underwear. As a bio mom to my own little girl, this is concerning to me. Am I thinking too much into it?

I’ve purchased for her underwear and training bras (which she wasn’t wearing either) she said her mom didn’t wash laundry so she didn’t have any.

Owlet Sock

Does anyone here use the Owlet sock? I got it, but my little one got really annoyed when we first tried putting it on her, and now at 15 days old, I haven’t really re-attempted to put it on her.

How to get baby back to sleep?

She used to feed to sleep and I used to be able to just put the baby on my chest and she'd fall asleep. Now she will wake up from the bottle and will claw and fight as if she's doing tummy time. The tricky part is she must be upright after feeds because of her reflux so I can't really be moving her about. I can't keep doing this fight at 3am waiting for her to wear herself out to sleep. We've tried white noise rich she doesn't respond to. Swaddles stopped working after 2 months (she's 3 months now).

Any advice??

Quickies! When?! How?! 🤦🏽‍♀️

Would you/ do you ever have a quickie while baby is awake but safely near by and occupied? Like for example they are in bouncer happily playing and you and hubby have quickie on couch? Discreetly obviously! Or do you only when baby is asleep?

We co sleep and contact nap, so when trying to put her down in bassinet asleep to get a quickie in she keeps waking up! But idk I feel is it weird if she’s in room but awake? Again safely and happily occupied, and not making it obvious.

Sleeping position

Anyone else’s baby sleep like this? He can roll back to front but not the other way round but every time I put him to sleep on his back he always ends up like this. I hardly sleep because I’m forever turning him back over or listening to see if he’s breathing. He literally fidgets all night now too
