Okay so we got a Snoo for our 2-month-old as a gift (my in-laws are loaded) and honestly? It works. She sleeps in it pretty well. BUT it costs like $1600 and I keep feeling weird a
Every. Single. Day. Leaks up his back, down his legs, sideways somehow. We've tried size 2, we've tried different brands, we've tried the expensive ones. He's 8 weeks. Is this a fo
Does anyone else's 4-month-old eat like a normal human on some days and then become a ravenous beast the next day? Our son went through like 6 ounces yesterday but today he keeps t
Not the gas smiles, not the random twitches—actual genuine baby smiles that happened when we were talking to him. I know it sounds dumb but I literally felt something shift in my c
Real question: if your kid explodes out of his diaper in the middle of the store, do you just... change him on the floor? In the bathroom? I've heard people say they just leave and
My 3-week-old is going through formula way faster than the pediatrician said. We're doing like 10-12 oz every 2-3 hours instead of the 2-3 oz every 3 hours they recommended. Wife t
Been thinking about grabbing one of these for my 2-month-old. The heart rate monitoring is appealing but also... do I really need to be alerted at 3am about oxygen levels? Might ju
I spend like 3-4 hours a day reclined on the couch feeding or burping our 6 week old. My lower back is absolutely destroyed. I've tried adjusting positions but honestly when you're
Just me or does anyone else get weirdly sad going to Target for diapers and formula? Like I'm walking through the baby section and I'm thinking about how much money we're spending,
Quick celebration post because I need to document this before I jinx it: our 6 month old slept through the entire night. All of it. No dream feed, no 3am wake up, nothing. She went
My wife is exclusively pumping because feeding never clicked for us (no judgment intended but we just couldn't get there) and holy shit the time commitment. She's pumping 8 times a
First kid is 18 months, baby #2 due in 6 weeks. Everything feels less scary but also more chaotic because we have a toddler. Any dads on here with 2+ kids? What actually changes ab
Got one for $120 on sale at Buy Buy Baby before they closed. Worth every penny. At 3am when my daughter is screaming, having a bottle ready in literally 30 seconds instead of 5+ mi
Not in a regret way, just in a "we haven't had a conversation that isn't about the baby in 3 months" way. My wife and I pass each other like ships in the night. When we do interact
Best: The Snoo. Worth every penny. Our 2-month-old actually sleeps in it and my wife could shower without me panicking. Worst: Those fancy blackout curtains we bought for the nurs
Just finished my 8 weeks with my twins (boy/girl, 2 months old now) and I'm back in the office part-time starting tomorrow. Not gonna lie, I'm excited to have adult conversations a
My in-laws want to get us something expensive for the baby registry and suggested a $300+ video monitor setup (like Nanit or something). We have a basic $40 Amazon one that shows t
I'm 6'3" and the Ergobaby I got doesn't fit right. Strap doesn't sit properly, baby sits too low. Any recommendations for carriers that actually work for taller guys? Tried the Lil
Seriously considering buying stock in Diaper Genie because this thing has saved our lives. We got the Munchkin at first (mistake) and it smelled like a landfill after 2 days. Switc
UPDATE: Switched to the Burt's Bees organic cotton wraps and our 3-month-old finally sleeps for more than 45 minutes. We tried: Love to Dream (waste of money) Swaddleme velcro (he
