My son just did a magic trick

He was in his jumper having a good ol time. He stops bouncing for a second and locks eyes with me. Suddenly, in one swift movement, poop lands on the floor in a small pile by his feet.

I say he did a magic trick because somehow, he didn’t get it on his clothes or his jumper seat. Just down his leg and the floor. 🤣🤣

Kids amiright.

Wie geht das eigentlich mit den #Stoffwindeln in der Nacht? Laufen die nicht aus ? - Nein, tun sie nicht, wenn du es richtig anstellst. Denn es hängt alles an der richtigen Auswahl der #Nachtwindel für dein #Baby Bei Stoffwindeln eignen sich Höschenwindeln mit Überhose am besten für die Nacht. Warum ? Sie haben mehr Saugmaterial als andere Windelarten. Und das Saugmaterial geht rund um den Körper. Wenn also dein Baby auf der Seite liegt, dann läuft das Pipi nicht am Saugmaterial vorbei, sondern wird trotzdem zuverlässig aufgefangen. Denn die Höschenwindel hat auch an den Hüften Saugmaterial und sie hat rundherum weiche Bündchen. Darüber kommt eine Überhose aus PUL oder Wolle. Diese verhindert, daß Nässe nach außen dringt und ist #atmungsaktiv. Du brauchst je nach Waschzyklus zwischen 3 und 5 Nachtwindeln. Aber starte doch mal mit einer und probier es aus ! Du sparst schon ab der ersten #Stoffwindel bei jeder Nutzung Müll und Geld ein. Denn für jedes Mal wo du die Stoffwindel benutzt musst du keine Einwegwindel kaufen. Und die Haut deines Babys wird sich in Stoffwindeln soooooo wohl fühlen, versprochen ! Besonders empfehlenswert finde ich die Nachtwindeln vom #petitlulu. Denn sie sind in Europa hergestellt, haben wunderbar saugende Materialien und eine tolle Passform. Schau sie dir schnell mal im Shop an ! ♥ #baby2023 #baby2022 #momof2 #momof3 #newmom #mamasein #mamaleben #iamlovingit #geldsparenmitbaby #spartipps #familienleben https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnz4AR1P6CC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

haven’t posted in a hot minute because i’m still trying to find balance in my life with a newborn (/almost-three-month-old!). that said, today we are three for three naps in the bassinet (instead of on my body, on the couch), so i’m going to document this here so I can look back later and remember how hard this all was and how every little win felt like everest.

Sleeping is hard

I already have a hard time sleeping. My husband snores and throws his arms around while changes sides. but now we have our bundle of joy in our bed. We tried getting him to sleep in his crib and ultimately, he would end up in my arms or his dad's. We tried for the first 2 1/2 weeks after he was born. But with very little sleep myself and my husband going back to work co-sleeping is where we ended up.

I could care less if we are co-sleeping it's the greatest thing ever because we ALL get our sleep. I would rather check on him every time I switch sides instead of freaking out every 20 min because I can't hear him breathing. But what drives me insane is the fact that American doctors are so judgmental and HATE it when parents co-sleep. They are so worried about SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome). So here are the guidelines they want everyone to use.

Baby on his back

alone in a crib or bassinet

in same room as parents for first 6 months

no loose sheets or blankets

First off, when laying on his back I've noticed an issue. The startle reflex. It's where his little limbs go flying out, his eyes are wide open, and it is usually followed by a scream. and guess what he is awake. Now I have tried swaddling, pretty much once we got home, he hated everything to do with a swaddle. So, we tried sleep sacks, still didn't work. Also, while on his back, if he spits up or drools a lot in his sleep, HE CHOKES ON IT. It is the most terrifying thing waking up to hear him choke on his own spit. Babies lived in the womb for 9 months. Which means they are used to closeness of mom. The warmth of a body and the passive white noise of breathing. So why would we deprive them of this once in the real world? Being in a crib by himself he is always unsure and uncomfortable, so he still doesn't sleep which means I don't sleep.

In other countries, with a LOWER rate of SIDS they prefer co sleeping. Because the mother/father is right there. If they baby chokes, stops breathing, startles, etc. the parent is able to soothe them or help them faster. There is study that a mother naturally will sleep lighter when the baby is close to them. The baby curls into the mother and the mother copies the same movement. So why in the US do we have these guidelines that I see has an increased percentage for SIDS.

Just this boggles my mind. and all very confusing. So, in turn I say fuck all of these guides and just do what feels right. Make your own decisions, go with the flow, because every human does things differently, we are not robots.

I let go of my cathartic, postpartum, emotional release in 2 days. It's dark, it's introspective, its vulnerable, it's real. And it shows you that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. https://www.instagram.com/p/CkE3fX0yB19/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Something’s haven’t changed. 9 months of breastfeeding and working, she is healthy, growing and my little boo for a few more months. . #breastfeeding #baby #breastmilk #motherhood #breastfeedingmom #pregnancy #momlife #normalizebreastfeeding #maternity #lactation #menyusui #breastfeedingmama #breastfeedingjourney #breastpump #breastfeedingsupport #asi #nursing #babyshop #newmom #mom #breastfedbaby #love #parenting #milkbooster #bajumenyusui #liquidgold #birth https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnm1v53JzVz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It feels like every fiber of my being is on edge. My shoulders hunched up with tension, neck tight, jaw clenched, breathing shallow… the anxiety whirls and whirls.

Bills, Supreme Court, human trafficking, sick baby, sick partner, then I’m sick, oh what’s this? Another shit Supreme Court ruling? Cool, add that. COVID, inflation, bills, wedding…ah work, and what do I do? Right counter trafficking.. no stress there.

Can’t sleep, too much muchness. Can’t eat, too much fat in everything.

Just one nice thing. Last week that was our goal, one nice thing. A break in the tension for a brief and glorious moment. We have had a few moments of breathing space and laughter- enough to give some hope of normality.

Then back at it. Work, stress, tension, jaw clenching so tight it aches, shoulders pulled tight for hours straight, sick baby, SO MUCH LAUNDRY….

Just biding time for the next nice thing.
