Baby sleep pattern evolution (0-12 months) - it does get better every month!

Moms, when did the exhaustion start to subside?

Even when I do get a good amount of sleep, I still don’t wake up feeling rested. Baby is almost four months. Moms, when does it get better? When will I wake up feeling like a well rested human being?

Being in a wedding party on my babies 2nd bday, opinions wanted.

So I am going to be a bridesmaid for a wedding. The bride is a close cousin. She choose the day after my LO 2nd birthday. The rehearsal naturally is on my LO birthday. Rehearsal is typically an hour. And it’s an hour there, and hour back in commute. What would you do?

I don't know how people do the homework thing. We are drowning

We have a son and a daughter, both in grade school. Our eldest has reached an age where he has homework every night, and tests every week. And it's killing us. Both parents work until 5. Then it's immediately time for preparing dinner. After dinner it's already getting close to their bedtime routine to begin. We are tired and the kids are tired. How the heck do people use that time to teach their kid multiplication or composition? He won't just sit and do it himself, so expecting him to do it between school and dinner just doesn't work. It also feels like our kid is not picking it up in class, so we are having to get through the basics every night. It's frustrating. We always end up upset and he never gets the work done. How do families with two working parents of grade-school kids do this?

Apparently my nine month old is overweight.

FTM here! I took my LO to his 9 month checkup this morning and the doctor said he’s a little overweight and we need to watch how much he’s eating. I’m not sure how I feel about this. On one hand, I’m emotional because of my own body image issues. I don’t want to be told we need to limit how much my baby is eating. He’s a baby for crying out loud! We aren’t over feeding him by any means. On the the other hand, I’m a little annoyed. Hes a BABY. He’s 23.15 lbs and 29 3/4” long, which puts him in the 90th percentile for BMI. He’s a healthy, growing boy. Has anyone else been told their baby is overweight? Should I really be concerned?

What diaper brand works better for your LOs?

Very curious! Personally, I like pampers for my LO. We started with Huggies in the nicu but he always peed out of them and pooped out of them. Pampers seems to be a pretty good fit but we have to use auqaphpr/desiten every day bc of his recurrent diaper rash. On that note, has anyone noticed more diaper rashes with pampers brand?

App Idea For Kids

Hey everyone 😊 hope you are all good! I'm a father of 2 kiddies, daughter is 6 and my son is 8. I have an idea for a mobile app that kids aged between like 6 to 10 can use, that lets them generate stories and then read them. In my head I'm like, this is a great idea, and my kids seem to think so too, but I was wondering if anyone outside of my family thinks it's a good idea? Would you use such an app? Appreciate your thoughts.

What raises great kids is coaching them—to handle their emotions, manage their behavior, and develop mastery—rather than controlling for immediate compliance. -@DrLauraMarkham #parenting

Covid while pregnant?

I was tested positive today, and my temperature is near 100. I’m pretty worried, and am doing everything I can to keep my temp low. Has anyone had Covid while pregnant? Did you deliver on time or preterm? Any complications?
