We got a jeep delta baby highchair and it was like $80 but it’s been used since baby was 6m and now at 2yo we use it on a lower setting so he can sit and eat with his sister at her little wooden table. And yes we still use the straps on him because he’s a very distracted eater and will just wander off in the middle of meal to get a random toy.

I have a 2yo, a 4yo, and am pregnant with number 3. I don’t have favorites but I still do baby the 2yo often since he’s still considered the “baby” BUT when he gets in trouble he gets consequences as well. Which is typically time out time for 5 minutes away from toys. He’s learning things the same way that the 4yo learned the house rules and stuff like that. I don’t consider it favoritism though, I think it looks like that because the younger child will need more attention while they’re growing, developing, and learning.

We just have an alexa that plays rain thunderstorms via Bluetooth from our phones. Both kids love when it actually rains now and neither are afraid of storms.

We have a designated car seat for each car. They’re all roughly the same price range and safety rating making all trips in either car feel just as safe. 3 kids means 6 car seats unfortunately lol it’s not worth the hassle of switching them in and out.

We are at 3 soon. We were content with 2 but one oopsie has turned us into a family of 5 now. They each have a 2.5 age gap. I don’t know how my sanity will hold up with three lol but at least the second one should hopefully start school next year so it’ll help balance out a lot of that stress!

Well Hannibal ain’t saving shit 😬

Mmmm our kids got snuggles and firm squeezes to help regulate their bodies and start calming them down for sleep. I also stay in the room with them until they’ve fallen asleep. If one or the other stays awake a while longer than the other it’s no big deal but since it is bedtime the lights stay off and there’s no loud voices. Sometimes I fall asleep with them and other times I get from 7:30-9ish to just chill with my husband before we go to bed too. Idk it’s always worked for us but our kids have their beds in our bedroom too so I’m not sure if that makes any differences in their sleep.

My first was electively induced at 39 + 1. With my second I went into labor after inter course at 37 + 3. I’m pregnant with number 3 and really hoping for a repeat of number 2s birth since it’ll be school’s Christmas break & it’ll give me 3 weeks of recovery without having to worry about school pickup/drop off. 😮‍💨

Both 2yo & 4yo get in bed by 7. They’re usually asleep by 7:30-7:45. We get up at 6:30-6:45 to prep 4yo for prek. Both kids get one nap each, 2yo naps 10-12 & toddlers school does sleepy time from 12-2 but are given recess afterwards so she’s nice and tired when she gets picked up.

A ghost doing the staying alive dance move? Lol

We usually toss one bag of trash daily so diapers go in there. The diaper pail just got emptied a lot less and stunk up entire rooms. I tried 3 different kids and all the baking soda I could, nothing helped.

I have permanent red cheeks, and overall feel like my skin is ok? We’re on kid/pregnancy number 3. I put Vaseline on my face/stomach/neck nightly. I feel like my skin is pretty good. My husband has an almost 7 step routine and it works for him but for me it made me break out a lot when I tried it. Everyone has different skin and different things work for different people.

I did that with both my babies. Pretty much as soon as they fell asleep I pulled boob out, they don’t like it at first but eventually get used to it. Around a year they didn’t nurse as much through the night anymore and it was pretty much only to sleep and when they were sick that they’d nurse a lot more. We fully weaned at 2yo but we dropped night feeds around 15ish months which ended up leading to baby 2 & baby 3 🤣

Ah that totally makes sense! Itty bitties here so I hadn’t even considered that issue 😅

This is how I slept with both my babies but without a shirt so I didn’t have fabric against their faces. My other arm is usually draped over them to keep the blanket from going any further up.

Just an fyi the tilt head ones are much more convenient. My pro is only about 4 years old and the motor is struggling and I have to put it on 5 in order to even get it going. I also hate having to drag it out because of how heavy it is. In comparison my regular tilt head is pure perfection every time I go to bake something!

My daughter got hers done at the doctors office and they healed great.

My husband is playing a game rn and we have both decided we love the main characters name and will possibly be using it since it’s very “simple” and isn’t anything ridiculous. (It’s Henry)

I am a mom but I got fuecoco on my arm to represent my son because he is very loud and can be an angry little fella lol.

I’m a sahm, my kid is 4 and just started prek. In my 4 years of experience with her she had only gotten stuck once maybe twice through the year. School having been going on for almost 2 months now & she’s been sick 5 times already. Which means 2yo has gotten sick 5 times and my husband has gotten sick twice. Me? Well I’m pregnant so my immunity rn isn’t the best but I’ve gotten 3 of those nasty bugs from them so far.

There’s an adult animation show called American dad, in the show the CIA transfers the brain of a man into a koala & he’s the coolest Reggie ever.

When we slept in the same bed as our toddler we slept in our bed that way we were all still together all night. Both myself and my husband were able to comfort her as needed and then we transitioned her by having her bed attached to ours. Eventually we were able to get her off our bed completely but hers is still next to ours and she knows she’s only a couple steps away so she sleeps 8-6 by herself. We did the same thing for our second baby and he’s transitioned well but again their beds are in our room and we’re within a couple steps reach.

I enjoy little milkbar bras! A bit expensive but I live in them as crops even when not nursing.

My son is 28months and 24lbs 36” and the doctors are not concerned. His sister is 4 and 35lbs 41” both are low percentages around 5-10% in the growth chart but again their pediatricians are not concerned since it’s been steady at that pace. I am also not that tall so they’re on par with growth compared to the genetics that I’ve passed down lol.

We have a show hanging rack on a door that stays open all the time. The lower 8 spots are for her shoes & she does well about wanting to keep them there.
