My son just turned 16 months and he still has a 2-4 oz bottle sometimes at night if he’s falling asleep but he always has a 4 oz bottle when he wakes up, he’s just so hangry in the morning he won’t even eat real food unless he has the morning bottle! We tried to switch it out with a straw cup of his week to wean him off and it was a complete and total nightmare so we went back to the bottle, now baby brother is due in a month so should I just keep giving him this morning bottle for now? I know he will be triggered by the baby’s bottles because whenever we pretend play with his baby doll he tries to drink from her fake bottle so I’m worried about taking away his biggest source of comfort a month before his biggest life change

My son is 25 lbs and we recently moved him up to size 5 diapers because his buttcheeks kept hanging out in 4s, but they are still doing it in 5s! What to do in this situation?? I’m scared to size him up again because he has skinny thighs so he gets leg poop blow outs frequently but diapers get so tight on his belly I usually have to size him up early

Update: I tried a size 5 Millie moon and we have full butt coverage 😂 but if you have any other recommendations let me know!

My son is 16 months and I haven’t pumped since he was around 4 months, my pump has been sitting in my mom’s attic so should I just dispose of it and use a new one? If I got all new parts could the spectra itself get moldy or gross? I have contamination OCD but I also don’t have a lot of money for a new pump

I have pretty severe IBS D, for 1-2 weeks a month I have pure water diarrhea 5-10 times a day so I can’t eat for a week and I have an adrenal insufficiency so I always end up in the hospital getting fluids and IV steroids 😩 it’s extremely cyclical like it starts the exact same day every month so I’m thinking it’s hormone triggered, especially because it goes away entirely when I’m pregnant! It was so bad after our first son my husband had to take part time FMLA to help on flare up days, I’m 7 months along now with our second and it’s been so amazing not to worry about flare ups since January so has anyone had success with birth control pills for stopping ibs d? It doesn’t seem to be food triggered it’s specifically hormone triggered

I got my son 5 huge boxes of clothes off of facebook and I’ve never had this problem before but they absolutely reek like I guess cologne? It smells like a mix of black ice freshener and axe deodorant, I’m not even sensitive to scents but this is sticking to my nose and haunting me 😂😩 I didn’t think his regular unscented or baby detergents would cut it so I tried tide which did nothing, then I tried arm and hammer oxi clean which also did nothing! Where I rent I can’t hang them outside, so are there any other tips? I’ve never smelled anything that clung to clothes like this

I’m 7 months pregnant with our second son and we’ve had the name Arthur picked since before I was even pregnant, well my MIL came over this week and basically went on about how it’s a horrible name and “all of her friends” said he’s going to be bullied for life and called arty farty 🥺 maybe it’s hormones but I’ve been upset for days, she went so hard with bullying the name it made me cry but my husband and I love classic and older names and it seemed like Arthur was rising in popularity

Pampers swaddlers used to be our go to but ever since they changed to “new and improved” a few months ago we only have blow outs, he did well in Huggies but now they’ve also changed the past few weeks and they’re even worse than Pampers 😩 they both seem to run a size or two smaller as well! I’m scared to use Millie moon after seeing constant posts about chemical burns, which makes me a little scared of rascals because they are the same manufacturer, I saw Costco has changed and now sucks, I even got a box of luvs and put one on him and it seemed much thinner and he immediately got a rash on his hip which never happened before! My favorite is hello bello but I have another little baby on the way and I can’t afford two subscriptions with them! I’m also worried about finding a good diaper before I have a newborn again because of blow outs 😩 any recommendations? I’ve tried pampers amore and even they broke my son out though they didn’t seem to run small like swaddlers

I was induced at 38 with my son and from start to finish I was in labor about 10 hours, I pushed 3 times before he came out lol I’m hoping for another less than 12 hour labor because that’s my least favorite part of all of pregnancy and postpartum combined 😂

I like to wear sandals over the summer but my current pair are making my feet and legs hurt so bad I can’t stand it! I’m 6 months now so I haven’t even reached the feet swelling part, does anyone have any supportive sandals to recommend? I have a toddler so it’s easier for me to just slip on shoes out the door, I have slip in sketchers too but I hate wearing them when it’s hot!! Also if you’re a FTM I highly recommend getting a few pairs of the slip in sketchers for when baby is here because it’s so much easier when carrying baby and a bunch of things out the door 😂

I have a 14 month old who is in size 4 (or size 5 depending on the brand) he’s almost 24 pounds but I like to coupon, is it even worth getting sizes 5-7? We mostly use 5 at night so I don’t go through a lot! He does have bad hypotonia so I’m not sure if that will factor in when he potty trains but he’s very bright so I’m hoping we can potty train around 18-24 months depending on when he can walk and sit on a potty 😂 is it worth stocking up on pull ups? I see mixed reviews on if they are actually helpful for potty training or make it worse

My son is 13 months and still spits up like every other week, is this still normal? From what I googled spitting up stops by a year, he’s still on formula but we’ve been adding cows milk so I’m wondering if it’s from the milk 🤔 he’s done fine with other dairy products like yogurt and cottage cheese but ever since we started actual milk his bowels have been a mess and now he just spit up after having more cows milk than he normally does

I had my son last year at the chambersburg hospital and they gave me a bunch of 2 or 3 oz little reusable bottles which were so helpful in the beginning for pumped milk and formula when he had trouble with most bottles! Does anyone know if the York hospital gives those? I’ve been looking online but can’t find them, they were for pumped milk and had a yellow lid I believe, I think they were 2 or 3 oz but we used them his entire first month or two! Also what supplies do they provide for mom and baby, I’m making my hospital list now and don’t want to overpack again because I brought 5 bags when I had my son and only ended up needing my robe and shampoo 😂
