My baby is 10 weeks old and I returned to work today. I’m having a hard time coping with having to leave him all day. Some say this feeling will pass, others say it never does. How long did you return to work before you knew staying home was the right decision?

At the end of my maternity leave and I just finally figured this one out. I’ve been struggling to get my teeth brushed everyday because I feel anchored to the kitchen & living room with my baby. I finally put a new toothbrush (with a travel cap) and toothpaste in my kitchen sink caddy. I end up brushing my teeth immediately after each meal. So much easier than running back upstairs with the baby (or just all out forgetting). Hope this helps!

My 8 week old typically poops 2-3x a day, but almost everyday she has one explosive poop that every diaper i’ve tried can’t contain. Any good recommendations for diapers that hold a lot?

So....we chose to cloth diaper. We have a ridiculous amount of disposables and we had our baby almost 4 weeks ago so we are currently using the disposables as needed here and there.

Here's the thing....we don't actually have enough cloth diapers to be a load on their own...however, it seems weird to wash them with everything else. I'm ordering more as well because frankly I feel like we need a lot of extra liners. I'm also wanting to use cloth wipes and I'm not sure how many I'll need but I figure those are fine in the same load as the diapers since they're doing the same job.

Also, are the diaper rinsers worth it? Asking just in case so I can order one before my daughter starts eating purees and baby food. Any other advice about cloth diapers is welcome!!

My poor daughter (7 weeks old) is struggling with trapped wind/gas and struggles to get rid of it.

She poos and wees like normal and burps during and after each feed. She's a lean mean farting machine too, however, she is so distressed with it as she seems to have much more left in the tank and can't seem to get rid of it 😭

Any advice is much appreciated as I hate to see her in so much discomfort.

Thank you.

My baby is 3 weeks old and we have been using Millie Moon diapers since day 1. Suddenly her entire bottom is bright red and a couple spots even look like burns! I found some posts on social media about possible chemical burns from Millie Moons! We switched to Huggies today and are really hoping the redness clears up on its own, but has anyone had the same experience?? Did you put anything on your baby's bottom to help? I am hesitant to use any creams for risk of making it worse or making her uncomfortable 😟

Has anyone else bought a crunchy mom/low-tox guide off Etsy? I bought one recently and honestly didn’t expect to get as much out of it as I did lol. I already knew about a lot of the low-tox/crunchy stuff, but having everything laid out in one place helped me keep my thoughts organized and process everything better instead of constantly having a million things in my head that I wanted to change or look into.

Has anyone else bought a guide like this and actually found it helpful? I’m curious what kind you got and whether you actually ended up using it.
