This is gonna sound like a funny question but I’m being so serious🤣 maybe my little one is just a bald baby but she’s starting to get hair except for a rectangle on the back of her head! She’s 9 months old and was born with a full head (lost it all) but when she lost the most was when she would look left to right rubbing it bald. And it’s like, it’s not growing🤣
My LO has always slept through the night I C curl super simple she would only ever want to nurse through the night and fall back asleep. But now the past 3 nights it’s like she wakes up a little fussy crawling her way to me (with her eyes still closed) and wanting to sleep on top of my on my chest? I don’t mind but has anyone else experienced this?
Pa. It’s almost like she “wakes up” crying/fussy but her eyes are still closed? She starts like sitting up and crawling on me. Is she asleep? What is going on?
I’ve been using Molly suds powder for my husband and I and I just don’t feel like my clothes are “clean” kinda just dried out? I don’t know how else to explain it they don’t smell bad but I’m just not a fan
I was thinking about dirty labs and truly free and I don’t mind if it has fragrance
THAT BEING SAID
For my baby I’ve been looking into Molly suds baby but I just don’t know if it’ll be able to clean blowouts and food stains the way I’m hoping. Some people say they use dirty labs for their infants as well but I just want to make sure it’s gentle enough
Any advice is helpful! I want CLEAN clothes that aren’t toxic 🙃
The title. He’s changed since we met 7 years ago. This past weekend he’s had a 12 pack of beers, and on Monday he bought 1/5 of vodka and it’s gone Wednesday. He constantly plays video games and I have to ask him if he can watch our baby (8months old) so I can shower. When he does “watch her” she’s in a playpen behind him while he plays games. I’ve asked him to stop drinking multiple times but he always says he “will” but will still have “a beer or two” at a restaurant. Then I asked him to stop playing video games because he’s 25 and he said “thats a bit of a stretch. My only friend is online and that’s how we keep in touch.” Then said I was asking to much and maybe I should my addiction first which would be my portion control and weight gain. Which is not the same thing. What do I do. He also said he would be miserable is he only had to hangout with me and that I’m just trying to ruin his friendship.
I have post partum anxiety and am terrified to go outside or drive my car with my baby. And also she gets nasty heat rash in her stroller so I can’t take her for walks even if I wanted
What are your opinions? My LO is too tall (1in from hardshell) in her rear facing car seat. I’m looking for a bigger rear facing that can grow with her but some have fire retardant chemicals and some come with out? Would you guys get the ones with or without?
I’m 6 months pp and losing milk supply I EBF what should my pumping schedule be to bring it back? Should she be starting foods too?
I (23F) have been with my husband (25M) for 7 years, and we have a 6-month-old baby. When we met, I regularly smoked weed and drank alcohol, while he was heavily involved in church and strongly opposed both. He told me he would leave if I didn’t stop, so I gave them up because I loved him and wanted a future together. He also said he never wanted to drink because his parents were alcoholics and he wanted to be a present husband and father.
Years later, he has become the opposite of the person I fell in love with. He now drinks heavily—3 or more 99 proof shooters—and is frequently high on weed. If he’s not smoking, he’s drinking. When I bring up how much he’s changed and remind him of the values he once had, he dismisses it, denies ever feeling that way, tells me I’m controlling, curses at me, and blames me for ruining his life. Later, he’ll apologize and act as though nothing happened.
He says I “hold grudges” about things he has said and done in the past, but my feelings remain hurt because the behaviors continue and he doesn’t make meaningful changes or give me reasons to trust that things will improve. When I told him he no longer seems to have the same beliefs and values he had when we met and that it feels like I married someone I never really knew, he claimed he only said those things years ago to keep me from getting drunk or high and cheating on him. I have never cheated on him, but he has unresolved trauma from a previous relationship. Hearing that explanation left me questioning who I actually married and whether the person I fell in love with was ever genuine.
I feel isolated because I’m not currently in contact with my family, and his family doesn’t seem concerned about what’s happening. I spend most of my time caring for our baby, who is very dependent on being held, while also trying to keep up with the housework. My husband often gets high, makes messes, and then criticizes me for not keeping the house clean enough. He complains when I ask for help with basic parenting tasks like diaper changes and spends much of his free time playing video games.
Recently, he’s been angry that I don’t support him getting a motorcycle because I think it’s an unnecessary risk when we have a young child and family responsibilities. When I try to discuss my concerns calmly, he says I’m controlling and accuses me of not wanting him to have friends or enjoy himself.
I miss the husband I thought I married and feel trapped, depressed, overwhelmed, and unsupported. I’m left wondering whether it’s unreasonable to want a partner who prioritizes his family over drinking, smoking, video games, and potentially dangerous hobbies. I don’t know if I’m in the wrong, if this marriage is salvageable, or how to save it when every attempt at communication seems to end with blame, denial, and accusations. I am incredibly unhappy and desperately want to know whether there is a path forward or if I’m holding onto a version of my husband that no longer exists.
Is it unreasonable for me to ask him to quit these things? He also doesn’t want marriage counseling.

Also I’m a stay at home mom and he works full time so he always tells me that since I don’t have a job I should at least be able to pick up a house and that what I do isn’t even close to what he has to deal with at work.
Tl;dr

Basically the title. I wasn’t like this before my baby. I’m terrified of the world, of people, of microplastics, of going on a walk out of fear of being target with my baby. Is this normal? Should I see a therapist? I end up just napping when my baby naps and playing with her when she’s awake but she sleeps so much it feels like I’m in bed constantly but I have no drive or motivation to go or do anything
My LO is 6 months old and is ready to start some purée’s I’m NOT touching premade baby food in the stores with a 10ft pole. I have a grow Sy baby food steamer and blender but didn’t know any good food to start with? Can she have dairy yet? Any recommendations thank you!
My baby is currently size 5 Millie moon (20 pounds) and I don’t like that they are ECF and wanted to try coterie so I got a trial pack. Well. Turns out she would be about a size 7 in coterie?? Is this right? Am I just terrible at finding diaper sizes? I tried the coterie size 6 and she blew out by her belly and up the back? Someone please help I want TCF but don’t want to order the wrong size since they’re pricey and I’m out of my trial packs. (Also I always find the weight LITEREALLY doesn’t matter on diapers I go by fit)
Let me add when she blew out in the coterie size 6 by the belly and back it was a huge poop she didn’t poop the day before and the tabs go all the way to the center
Let me also add she’s 99th percentile for height and 85th for weight idk if that matters? Shes a very long baby as well I just don’t know what to do. Millie moon size 4 diapers are way too tight and leave red marks on her thighs and groin to the point skin rubs off
I have used Millie moon with my baby for about 5 months but the thing is she keeeeps blowing out. I know the size is right maybe it’s just the fit? I love that they can keep her dry and hold so much overnight but I’m wondering if I should switch? I tried Huggies and that was a diaper rash nightmare any ideas? (Also just picked up some parasol to try since target was out of her Millie size)
What are the benefits of breast milk vs formula after 6 months. Is it selfish for me to stop at 6 months because I want to smoke be honest.
