How do y’all moms juggle a newborn, find time to sleep and work ? Me and hubby take turns sleeping but we go back to work in 4 weeks & were going to be working separate shifts , he will work mornings & I’d be working nights. I’m also breastfeeding so I can’t drink energy drinks ! Tips please. I don’t like to let my baby sleep while we both sleep due to the fact that she has reflux on her own spit and it’s silent. So one of us is ALWAYS watching her. #firsttimemom

@roses.are.red, No problem girl but you both have to get rest! You don’t want it to affect your work. Have her sleep inclined always! Or give her a paci at night or when shes sleeping it reduces the change of them choking and of sids. It will get better as she gets older she’sn maybe in a couple of weeks you cna try to set a night time routine so she starts sleeping through the night as wel
@nicolee____, she sleeps pretty good, it’s just me , I’m paranoid. I sleep with her in my arms inclined on a soft pillow and we both sleep good . I’m a light sleeper so it’s easy for me to wake up when she just moves a flinch 😴 i also tried to give her a pack but she doesn’t take it /;
I lost my mind lol it will get easier though
Just waiting it out that’s what I did
Its fucking difficult, but you’ll find a system to make it work. The first few months will be utterly exhausting though. Good luck!
Thanks! I guess we just have to experiment and sacrifice 🤞
need suggestions....
So at work we have a drink thief. Any time we put a drink in the fridge it disappears. I swear I know who it is. So far he's taken drinks from everyone that works in the office, we even put a sign to not take anything you didn't pay for and wrote our names on the drinks. The person I think is taking them works out of the office so we never get to see who is drinking them.
Thoughts on waiting another year to start daughter in preschool.
Our district doesn’t have a spot at the moment. So we have to find a preschool ourselves. We applied to Headstart but we make too much money so lower income families get first spots. But both districts have her at the top of their waiting list above others because she needs/receives speech therapy therefore they want the grant money that comes along with her being enrolled. It’s just so frustrating. I feel that worth Covid we kn...
This is why tf I worry when I leave Emilia and I go to work!! My baby girl got a burn on her fingers I’m so hurt for her ): apparently her grandma left the flat iron on...and you can guess the rest
My 6 year old and I got our nails done today. She got her first manicure and they painted Olaf on her thumb! Some people have expressed that they think she's to young to be getting a manicure. I used the manicure as a bribe to get her to stop biting her nails and if it works...I'm going to keep taking her bi weekly when I go for a fill. I remember my parents not letting me get a manicure until I was in high school. Is it really so strange for a little girl to regularly get manicures?
Can we lift each other up as women?!
With all this nonsense going on i think it’s time we left each other Mother’s up instead of tearing them down!! So what’s one nice thing u can say about another person on this app? I have 2 friends that i talk to outside this app and I think they are both wonderful mothers and people in general. I won’t name names cause they know who they are. So now u all go!! I think we need this tonight!!!
Have her sleep in a rocker or something inclined so she doesn’t choke, I recommend the mamaroo! Its pricey but if you find a used one you can get it for 80 bucks. Have her sleep next to you if you are paranoid if you pump then have bottles ready so your husband can help you feed her at night when you guys go back to work ( the only way you both will get some sleep ) You’ll get to know your baby and it will become easier just hang in there 🥰
