I have 30 lbs in baby weight. I lose 10 l b s then gain it back the next month anyone else?

While i was at work, powering through the day I felt so happy and enpowered. A pregnant lady came in and I had all of these fond memories of being pregnant and bonding with my new baby and my bf and just expanding my family.

How many of you Mama's read mom blogs? Which ones are your favorite?

My son is 7 months and today is my first day back at work. Wondering how it'll be. I've been away from him before and I usually always start to miss him after 2 hours so wish me luck!

This post is about setting boundaries with extended family members. I recognize there are benefits to having a family outside of the immediate family but I'm also starting to realize that I would not have initiated a relationship with anyone in my family had they not been related to me.

My son can hold his bottle and he does sometimes, but plenty of times he refuses to hold it. Any others see this before?

My son cries bloody murder when falling asleep and sometimes when waking up

I didn't notice he cried this hard before he spent the night at his grandma's house. I'm not sure if something happened there. What's a good way to inquire?
