Strictly about us moms and our beliefs.

What baby lotion do you use? Johnson's and my homemade breastmilk lotion

What baby wash/shampoo do you use? Johnson's

Bite, rip or clip their fingernails? Peel, and I get my grandma to clip them!

Do you exclusively breastfeed? Yes

Do you vaccinate? Yes

Believe in circumcision? Yes. I also believe it's the mother's choice and no judgement should be passed either way.

Co-sleep or seperate? Co-sleep/ bed sharing. He may sleep in his swing a few minutes out of the day.

Whooping or timeout? We aren't there yet, but depending on the severity of the situation. I'm not 100 % against whooping my child but I'd never do it out in the open and embarrass him.

Carry around GermX? Yes!

Do you believe in CIO method? Nope, I don't believe baby initially knows to self soothe and leaving them completely alone in a room is probably very scary for them. They were cuddled up in our bellies for 9 months.

Do you believe in abortion? NO

Public school or home school? I will do everything I can to pay for private school. Though sometimes it can be as bad as public, there are some better things about it, and I hope that I can raise my son well enough to stay away from bad influence know to do the right thing.

How many children do you want? I think 2 or 3 would be my max! But definitely later on down the road when I'm married and stable enough to do so 😊

Age you were when you had your child(ren)? 21

On birth control? Nope

Stay at home mom or working mom? I work 2 nights a week and starting school in a week and a half.

Baby wear or stroller? Baby wear most of the time! Stroller whenever we go to the mall or something like that.

Are you a single mother? Yesss 💁🏼

What do you carry in the diaper bag?

Diapers, wipes, burp cloths, extra clothes, Tylenol, orajel, teething tablets, gas drops, lotion, germ x, baby food or bottles (if he's going to his grandma's while I'm at work/ school) my wallet/ phone/ keys, WIC, face wipes, extra pacifier, TOYS, teething blanket, teething necklace (if he's not wearing it.)

If you could tell new mother's one thing, what would you say?

It's not going to be easy, but I promise you it'll be worth it. You'll have many sleepless nights, nights where you cry yourself to sleep, days where you sit crying after you've put baby down for a nap, etc. and especially if you're doing it all in your own, you WILL get aggravated, and make sure you have a support system in place so that when you get to that level, you have someone to hold baby just for a few minutes so you can go take a shower or a nap and recollect yourself. breastfeeding is HARD, it's not just as easy as latching a baby to your boob and going about your day. You've got to make sure you PUMP, make sure you're eating enough and staying hydrated. Even stress can affect your supply. Also, don't be alarmed and just quit if you feel your supply had dropped, there are lactation consultants you can talk to that will help you get your supply back up! Always remember YOURE HUMAN, we aren't going to be perfect mothers, even as much as we strive to be. But as long as we are doing our best, were doing it right 😉
