I've been getting a little overwhelmed the last couple of days because it's been pretty hard to console our son. I feel like I do everything we're taught to do when a baby is crying (feed, change, burp, hold) and still my son would scream. I finally broke down and had my first crying session since he was born last night right in front of my husband. After a long talk I got to the root of why I was so upset and it came down to feeling like an inadequate mother for not knowing what to do sometimes. This morning after he had already left for work he sent me this article and it really spoke volumes to me. It was just what I needed. I'm so appreciative of my husband and his efforts to try to make me feel better. I highly recommend reading this if you have African roots and even if you don't. Maybe it will help you as much as it helped me.

At first I was feeding him every 2-3 hours from about 30 mins on each side (like the hospital suggests) but he would always still cry or fuss. I finally realized that all babies are different and are going to have different appetites. Plus breast milk digests faster than formula. So if he cries to nurse I'm going to nurse him, even if I just finished nursing and even if he only nurses for a few minutes. like you said, he wants to keep nursing for a reason whether it's hunger or comfort. I'm glad you liked the article as much as I did! @bianca_rose
This was a great article! It's funny because I never did cereal with my first and won't with this one. My first didn't sleep through the night until 17 mos but I didn't care, he wanted to nurse for a reason so I just kept doing it. My family thought I was crazy lol
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...

Why Are Many Women Unaware of Their Own Anatomy?
the amount of women who are clueless about their own anatomy is so sad and shocking. a lot of the women are older than me and have more children then I do 😳
now I understand that everyone has their own opinion on the topic and grown adults can do whatever they want with their bodies but to deny facts and make up false statements about your own anatomy when it comes to your unborn child is just so disappointing.
