Hi! I have the nuna swiv stroller but baby is 3 months and too long for the bassinet. I'm looking for an affordable compact stroller that lays flat for newborn (not bassinet style to not run into the same issue) I don't want to have to put him into the car seat | just want a layflat stroller. I found two on Amazon one is Mompush Lithe V2 Lightweight Travel Stroller other is the Joie Nutmeg Compact Lightweight Stroller.
Does anyone have any experience with either or can recommend me another option? I basically need this for baby for the next 3 months but love the option to already have it as a travel stroller that is more lightweight than my Nuna. Thank you!!

I have the skip hop 2 in 1 activity floor seat
Baby is 3 months old today and looks comfortable in it but just read it’s 4 months ^
When did you use one?

Hi is this normal? How much did yours have?

I tried straight breast-feeding when Baby first came home from the hospital, but after we introduced the pacifier, he would not latch and I just decided to pump exclusively. Here we are almost at three months and Baby was being really fussy and he had just eaten so I took out my boob and I put it near his mouth and he latched. Omg. The joy that I fall within is insane!! ❤️
I am going to continue pumping but now the breast can serve as a top off lol
I am so overjoyed it’s insane ❤️

I went from 130 to 180 during my pregnancy. Within the first month post partum I went down to 160 but stayed right there. I’m going on 3 months post partum and haven’t lost another pound. I am breastfeeding which I’ve read can maintain your weight… I know all the beautiful positive things they say about how you created life and to love and accept yourself and I do but i would love a whole lot more if I could get closer to my pre pregnancy weight. I’m just on no sleep, consistently hungry and haven’t had a second to workout so it’s not like I’m proactively doing anything to loose the weight I just thought it would come down more..

When did you loose the baby weight?

I can’t figure it out lol my husband will lift baby when we finish washing him by the front but I always feel like we’re almost choking him for a sec when we lift him up like Superman and lean him forward to wash his back and butt and there has to be an easier way 😫

I’ve always had a somewhat rocky relationship with my MIL. We had a major fight before my husband and I got married, and while things were “resolved,” it’s always felt a bit surface-level on both sides.

We recently had a baby, and things have gotten more complicated. For example, on Mother’s Day (when my baby was only a month old), we chose to stay home instead of going to her house where she was hosting a big gathering. She got very upset, told my husband to come without me, and later complained about us to others saying we’re “weird,” don’t let people see the baby, etc. In reality, we’ve always been more private and homebody types, so this isn’t new behavior.

There’s also constant comparison to my SIL, who is much more social and comfortable having others care for her baby. That’s just not me, and it feels like we’re being judged for it.

Now when my in-laws visit, my MIL often stays behind with me while my husband and FIL go out, which puts me in an uncomfortable position. She’ll do things like make a mess in my kitchen even though her own home has very strict rules, override me with the baby by taking him or wanting to feed him without really asking, and only act super engaged with the baby when others are around.

I haven’t pushed back in the moment because I don’t want to create tension, but it’s building resentment.

The tricky part is my husband. He’s supportive, but understandably gets uncomfortable when I vent too much about his mom. I also don’t want to put him in the middle constantly.

I know “set boundaries” is the usual advice, but in this case, direct confrontation will likely create bigger issues and drama.

So my question is:

How do you set subtle, effective boundaries with a difficult MIL, especially when you’ll continue seeing her regularly, without escalating things or damaging the relationship further?
