We were doing great. Then boom - 4 month sleep regression hit like a truck 2 weeks ago. Our daughter went from sleeping 6-hour stretches to waking up every 2 hours. I've read it's
Just wanted to mention since I wasted like $30 before figuring this out. My 3-month-old is 14lbs and the size 2s from Huggies are literally sliding off her like she's wearing clown
Our son is 3 days old and the hospital asked about circumcision. We're not religious and honestly I (uncircumcised) just never thought about it. Wife's unsure too. We keep saying w
Bought this thing for like $300 thinking it would give me peace of mind. False. Constantly getting false alarms, the app disconnects randomly, and tbh the strap is uncomfortable fo
So I posted like a month ago about being terrified to leave our 4-month-old with my parents overnight for the first time. We did it last weekend and honestly? It was fine. Not bori
My MIL keeps pushing us to get one of those Owlet smart socks that monitors your baby's oxygen levels and heart rate. Seems like it could be useful but also seems like the kind of
Considering dropping the money on this since everyone raves about it. Currently using a cheap wrap from Target and it's... not great if I'm being honest. We live in Portland so we

Not trying to be weird about this but it's been 4 months since our baby was born and we haven't had sex since before pregnancy. My wife says she's just not interested and I get it
Been reading a lot lately about safe sleep and the whole "babies must sleep alone" thing. I get the SIDS statistics but I also know literally every culture throughout history has h
My son was doing pretty well with a 7pm bedtime and sleeping til 5am, then up for the day. Now for the past week he's been going down at like 9pm and still waking at 5am but also w
I don't even know if I should be posting this but I'm kind of shocked at what my partner has been through the past 6 weeks. Like I knew pregnancy and birth would be hard but watchi
Considering buying this for our second kid coming in a few months. With our first (now 2) we had insane anxiety about SIDS and barely slept ourselves. Did it help ease your mind or
Okay so this might be a humble brag but my 5-month-old rolled over from back to front for the first time yesterday and I literally texted my wife (she was at work) with like 47 pho
Been researching what to expect after baby arrives in a few weeks. Everything I read talks about postpartum depression/anxiety in mothers but almost nothing about what happens to t
We're attempting to go to brunch with some friends in 20 minutes and our 6-month-old has now pooped twice in the last hour (different diapers, different outfits). It's like she KNO
I'm gonna get downvoted for this but the two weeks I took were kind of rough? Like everyone acts like it's this magical bonding time but I mostly felt useless watching my wife brea
