I feel unbelievably lucky - my LO has always (since 1 week old) gone to sleep at 7/7:30 each night. He used to sleep a couple hours as a newborn, then was up to sleeping 4/5 hours until last week (3.5 months old). Now he sleeps as late as 4 am (8.5 hrs straight). I'm curious how other 3 or 4 month olds sleep, or other newborns even. What is/was your experience with your baby?

Anyone have any tips or tricks for filing or clipping babies' fingernails? My 2 1/2 month old refuses to let me mess with his nails. He fights and cries when I try to do anything with them.

I tentatively tried a 6 month old sweater on my LO since it's raining and I needed to take him in the car. All his sweaters and coats are 6 months or bigger, so I expected it to still be pretty big. He's 2 months and 2 weeks and he was only at the 4th weight percentile at his dr visit a month ago. Lately though he's been wearing 3 month and 3-6 month onesies and has been packing on weight good. So I was stoked to find the sweater now fits him perfectly! Hopefully he'll be way up on weight percen...

Stay at home moms: has your SO ever called you "ungrateful"? In my case, because he is now making the $ while you stay home and take care of the baby? If so what did you do, what happened, etc.? Sorry for the rant, but mine is on a tear it seems, and idk what to do.

So just had the worst experience with Gerber's Good Start formula. I bought it because I got a coupon for $32 off a canister of it from Gerber in the mail. So not only was it free, I actually got $4 extra for getting it. We had previously used Similac Pro Advance for two cans worth (since my LO was born). I didn't expect too much of a difference, but omg. He started having completely solid poops that seemed painful, having an even harder time passing gas and burping, wasn't falling asleep after ...

My little man is 1 month old today! 😍

... lol just realised how late I am with this photo, oh well he's still so cute.

Ugh I feel so crappy today. 😭I was running around really well from like 12 hours after my c section, but the pain is suddenly 10x worse and I'm having a really hard time getting around. The after birth contractions are really bad too (I didn't even notice them until a couple days ago), but now they're almost too much. I hope this is normal. My feet and ankles are both really swollen still and starting to hurt too. I just finished the pain medicine they gave me (I made it last longer than schedul...

My feet are so swollen. They were puffy the last half of my pregnancy, but now they're ridiculous. I couldn't even move my toes in the direction of my body last night because the skin was pulled so tight there. How much swelling is normal right after delivery, and for how long?
