As far as I know - stripping is just stain removal by soaking in water and sanitizing is bleaching.

Can someone walk me through how to properly do either and how often/when?

If it helps, I use flats and covers right now.

I have a memory of one of my favorite childhood books. I remember it took place in someone’s house during a snow storm. It went through each animal and where they cozied up in the house to warm up and/or sleep.

Coming up with a list of movies we will have our son watch once he’s old enough. So many of our favorite films aren’t quite age appropriate. What would be a must-see for a child in this age range?

I am a first time mom, my baby is only a month old. I’m just trying to figure out when it will be appropriate to make the switch.

My baby is 5 weeks old, he’s finally stopped crying through diaper changes so I put the infant potty on the changing table. Yesterday I opened a cold pee diaper, I knew something else was coming so I backed into my rocking chair with him and the infant potty. I held him facing away from me with his head on my chest. He was so chill just hanging out there until both happened! I only needed 2 wipes to clean him all up. I am just so excited!

She thinks that he is going to be having free range of the house while we are asleep and getting into everything. What are your experiences with the floor bed? I was thinking until baby as old enough that it felt right, we were going to have him in our room anyway. How much can he get into while sharing our room?

My husbands paycheck doesn’t really cover the bills, and we will have to go in today to pay them, but he does have health insurance. I only the other hand do not have health insurance through my job, but I make enough to cover all of our bills. He is using FMLA right now to take time off to be with us, I’m using his FMLA time, starting next week to trial. Going back to Work a couple of days a week before. I decide if I would like to go back to work or not. I am getting a little stir crazy. Staying at home with the baby and I’m pretty sure my husband will be OK with staying at home with the baby. I’m Looking forward to hearing somebody else’s perspective to see what you would do in my shoes.

My apologies for the grammar situation is. I’m holding a baby, who will definitely start crying if I take another hand off him to use my keyboard instead of talk to text. I hope what I wrote is legible.

I’m learning to cook on a very stringent budget. I bought $20 worth of dried black and pinto beans from Sam’s Club, I’m looking for some recipes to use them. I’m a SAHM right now with only my husbands income. My brother is staying with us while he gets back on his feet and I often invite my sister over to make sure she’s fed as she struggles with money too. I also want leftovers so my husband has lunch the next day and I can have a meal I don’t need to think about cooking. I’m good to use meat just not more than 1-1.5 lbs per meal. I also love to use the slow cooker.

Editing to add: we don’t eat pork.

I am producing more than bay eats and I’m getting engorged and having to pump at least once each day and once each night, and I really hate pumping. My pumping bras are either too tight on one side or too loose on the other. They always get soggy and wet from leaking and I loathe the feeling of a cold wet bra. Every time I start pumping baby will cry for anything except food and I just start leaking like a damn faucet. I always leak on one side while baby eats on the other, but he won’t take both boobs in one feeding. My ladybug milk catcher is always dirty when I need it. I’m tired of either leaking all over my bed or sleeping in a bra every night. I stink so quickly and don’t have the same time to shower that I used to. My throat hurts from screaming into a pillow several times over the last couple days. I’m not holding it together right now.

Editing to add: I’m less than a month in with my first baby. I already had mastitis less than 2 weeks in and it was really miserable. My LC had me pumping once a day in the morning, but I started pumping more after the mastitis because I’m so scared of getting it again. I’m taking sunflower lecithin. I have my second LC appt tomorrow so I’ll be able to ask questions. I’ve gone to sleep since making this post so I’m feeling a lot more stable.

I just had a newborn baby and I’m by myself during the day while my husband works. I thought I was going to have more time during the day but I do not. I realized my best bet on making dinners is in the mornings while my baby is sleeping, but I’m awake for the day. I got myself a slow cooker and some liners and started off easy today with a beef chuck roast with potatoes and carrots I would love some more creative ideas so I can keep up with things, not get tired of the same foods over and over again, and still be able to save money by cooking at home.

This was not a cartoon, definitely came out less than 10 yrs ago. The daughter spent time with someone in her dreams every night and I believe towards the end we found out that her father and her had been falling asleep thinking about meeting each other in their dreams to spend more time together. It was a really cute movie, I think I watched it in Netflix years ago.

I just asked my mom long long she breastfed for, she said with me she only breastfed for 2 months and never could produce enough, so she switched me to watered down cereal around 2 months old. I couldn’t imagine doing that now!
