My LO is 12 months and I want to wean her from her pacifier. She only uses it for sleep (naps and bedtime), but I just feel like it’s time to wean her completely. I started yesterday with the naps and she has cried for nearly 30 minutes each time while I rocked, cuddled, and sang to her. I feel like I’m damaging her, but also how else do I go about doing this?? I feel like if I don’t wean her now, we’ll just end up having to deal with the same issues later when she has a stronger association with it. Am I harming her in any way by doing this? I just feel so awful 😭

Hey guys! So I’m in this weird in-between stage where my size is different than it was a few months ago and will continue changing for quite a while. I’m still currently nursing my 12 month old, but she is gradually weaning herself (I suspect we’ll be nursing for at least another 6+ months). My size is changing quite a bit and I know will continue to change during this transition and after. What’s the best supportive bra that can be used throughout this transition but still makes me look not so saggy (unfortunately nursing has taken its toll on my poor girls 😅). It doesn’t need to be nursing friendly either since we don’t really nurse on the go anymore. I normally wear a 36DD which I know is not accurate at all right now, but figured I’d let y’all know so y’all have a general idea! Just hoping to find a supportive bra that can take me through this stage!

Hey guys!! My husband and I have been having a ton of discussions about us not having a village and how hard it has been. I think we’re to the point of needing to either move closer to family or hire a nanny, but moving isn’t QUITE in the cards for us right now. My husband works a fulltime job and an additional 20-30 hours a week on his business so he is crazy busy. Meaning I am left caring for our 11 month very clingy baby on my own. I am a SAHM that is burnt out and exhausted and NEED some sort of help. Has anyone else hired a part-time nanny as a SAHM? What did the dynamic look like and how did your nanny help? Also how many hours do they work a week for you? I feel like I just need like a couple hours a day for help, but is that unrealistic to look for in a nanny?
