Mommy challenge. No judgement.

Strictly about us moms and our beliefs.

What's your child's name? Mikayla

Is your child a boy or girl? Girl💜

What wipes do you use? Pampers sensitive

What diapers do you use? Pampers swaddlers (Amazing coverage no explosions up the back)

What baby lotion do you use? Aveeno

What baby wash/shampoo do you use? Aveeno

Bite, rip or clip their fingernails? Clip

Do you exclusively breastfeed? Tried but dried 3 months. She is organic formula baby.

Do you vaccinate? Yes. Was super scared at first and asked gazillion questions but watched the documentary of the doc who brought the scare first being disproven and then found murdered. I'm glad I took that risk because I want my child to be resistant to something horrifying that could've been prevented.

Believe in circumcision? n/a

Co-sleep or separate room? separate after we saw her legs spilling out of bassinet. So 4th month.

Whooping or timeout? Not yet.

Carry around GermX? When I don't forget. I usually just carry wipes. I figure to expose her to natural germs to make her tough.

Do you believe in CIO method? Yes to an extent. The rare occasions she does I go in and hold her and spend time with her and place her back in bed and she is in better mood and tells me bye.

Do you believe in abortion? No. I understand some circumstances but I do believe in God and also after seeing the heart beat during ultrasound, I do believe it's a life, a miracle.

Public school or home school? Public. I'd be a horrible teacher. I want my child to learn without me and spend daily building social skills. Right now we have a nanny while I go to work but saw how happy she is in Sunday school (I peeped).

How many children do you have? 1

How many children do you want? 2 but my body is repairing itself. I'm 42 so this is it. We don't make enough money for more than 1. We are also only child so can't imagine the dynamic of multiple.

Age you were when you had your child(ren)? 41

On birth control? No.

Stay at home mom or working? Working

Baby wear or stroller? Both

Are you a single mother? No

What do you carry in the diaper bag? Diapers, wipes, extra outfit, sanitizer, diaper change pad, blanket, bandaid, spoon, rag, drink, emergency food jar and snacks, mace, and knife. (You never know when you have to protect the child)

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

Kiss and hug 24/7 because they grow fast!!! It's heartbreaking, missing the baby "her" but happy because she is more fun now. I enjoy her growth.
