Baby Gift List

Hey everyone so my mom told me to make a registry for my sons birthday cause he had family far away that wanna get him gifts. But after putting toys and clothes and a bed frame with all the accessories and stuff it’s like 91 things on the list. I obviously don’t expect all of them but should I cut things off of it? Should I make it smaller?

i would shorten it to make sure that you get the things you really want the most, otherwise you may wind up with a random selection that doesn't reflect your biggest priorities

Remove the stuff that you wouldn’t mind buying yourself, like things that are cheap, that you see on sale, that you wanna be super specific abt size color etc, and leave the things that are more expensive, and cheap stuff that you trust someone else to get it for you.

If it’s on Amazon, there’s an option to tag “most wanted.” I’d leave it long and have items in a wide range of price points so people have multiple options within their budget.

I always tell them buy what you want because it’s on going list so when Christmas rolls around I already have a list that you have a link too as well. (They always lose the link😅) I will always have a range of price options so I don’t pressure anyone to buy things out of their price range. Then either limit it to priority gifts or mark it as most wanted if you really want something off the list.

It's fine. People will choose what they prefer to gift.

Just leave it it’ll leave plenty of options . If I c a few cheaper things on sale I tend to buy a handful of things off a registry as a gift

It depends on if you have “priorities” or not. We have an Amazon list for our son’s first birthday. There’s SO much on there but I want to have multiple options, multiple price ranges, and lots of inspiration. I tell anyone that asks they don’t have to buy from the list but send it anyway so maybe it helps with some inspiration on ideas. Clothes are always welcomed but we buy second hand so it’s not a bank breaker vs the toys can be because they can’t always be found second hand.

Breastfeeding

I was so adamant on only breastfeeding my baby when I was pregnant. I bought three different pumps to try out. At first it was going great. My mum was with me constantly cooking for me to build my supply and I was breastfeeding at night and if not then always pumping. The health care professional advised me that my LO wasn’t gaining enough weight and to top up on formula if I couldn’t get my supply up. As time went on I was being advised more bottles of formula as her weight still wasn’t getting to the right level. Eventually I would only pump 20-30ml of breastmilk. This was no where near enough and my LO would get frustrated on the nipple and wouldn’t settle until given a full bottle of milk. It was very disheartening seeing such little supply, I would pump until my nipples would turn inside out. Until I barely produced enough to I stopped at around 2/3 months and have been giving her formula ever since.

Everyday I feel so guilty for stopping I regret it so much I wish I tried harder. I look at my baby and think maybe she isn’t hitting her milestones because of this or she might get childhood obesity or develop illnesses in the future. Whenever I see women online pumping or breastfeeding their babies I feel like I failed my LO. Has anyone else experienced this? And I was wondering whether I generally didn’t have a supply or I wasn’t pumping enough ? My sister also went through the same thing.

Intimacy with partner

My husband and I have been cosleeping with our baby girl since her birth and it’s been hard to get intimate and have sex because of that.
For those who coslept, how did you keep it going?

Co-sleeping

Hi Mamas! My baby and I have been co-sleeping since he turned 1 month old. He is now 5 months old and has been sleeping longer stretches. He still wakes up to feeds like 2-3 times at night, I simply just feed him while laying down and would fall asleep together.

Anyways, I just want to know how and when did you switch from cosleeping to baby sleeping in their own bed?

I was thinking for our family, that we will wait for him to sleep through the night before transferring him into his own bed. But I’m curious to know what other parents have done 🫶🏼.

Bedtime

My baby is 6m old.
Bath is fine, he’s happy and playful, as soon as we take him out he is inconsolably crying, he screams super loud and won’t stop until he’s asleep. We’ve tried shortening the bath, shortening and extending the wake window, I know he isn’t starving I make sure to bathe him 1 hour ish bf he’s due to eat.
He might be teething, could it be related to that? Does yours do the same and when did it stop
