Parental advice from a mom of four : Do what works for you! Your baby, your journey, your choices. Today’s choices are tomorrow’s results. ENJOY IT! It goes fast. Don’t feel pressured to do everything in ways that others suggest. Figure it out for you!

Brandon’s snap back is fire 🔥 😂 nah I’m joking, but the way he’s involved is like he gave birth to her. Destiny you are so blessed to have your hubby. I’m a single mom and did it alone, but baby!…. The way God showed up for me it was like I had a husband there and more! Congrats you two ❤

[@monicab.3083]

Parental advice from a mother of two grandmother of two train her to her own bed and not sleeping with mom and dad. You will be all about the baby however, you still must have your own time together to stay connected to one another and not neglect that. If you train to your bed gonna be EXTRA hard to get them into their bed later and no binky if you can 😊. Love how you love one another. Bless you and your beautiful family.

[@pmgumeebear]

I have 3 and have worked with children all my life I respectfully disagree when children have a strong attachment they’re ready to take the world head on…science has proven that co sleeping is good for baby’s nervous system as well she just spent 10 months closely connected to her Mommy and hearing her Daddy’s voice but to each their own!

[@goldgirl8771]

Agree

[@sunnyt264]

My babygirl goes back n forth and honestly my husband and I are fine with it. She has those nights when she sleeps in her bed which is more and more as she gets older but some nights she just needs to feel us close and that’s just fine ❤. Gotta do what works for you two for sure.

[@BrittneyWallace-t4c]

She doesn’t sleep with them she sleeps in a bassinet next to their bed

[@carlenethomas4400]

Baby Ocean is not sleeping in their bed. She has her own bassinet. She'll be sleeping in her nursery when she's 6 months:-)

[@pmgumeebear]

Nah Dad is GLOWINGGG lmao he’s so happy Congratulations 🎊🎉🎉🎉 I remember the feeling …slow down and enjoy every moment and if you’re worried about how you’re doing just know you’re doing beyond perfect 😊

[@sonyahurst5102]

@@Klgray7373 huh

[@charlieehstephenson4893]

@@Klgray7373it’s definitely not ok especially nowadays it’s dangerous forth trimester is a real thing mums can get pre eclampsia after going home weeks later , there bodies shouldn’t be talked about weather it’s positive or negative, because so much can change weight gain weight loss , I had 3 snap backs and had no clue what that was or what it meant meanwhile people were telling me omg your so skinny after giving birth and it didn’t make me feel good it made feel like I was looking unhealthy and impacted my health dramatically, i couldn’t grasp these as compliments because, it felt so wrong to be slim before pregnancy and ridiculed then to be so big and beautiful and healthy and pregnant and be showered in compliments then to go back to a flat stomach before walking out the hospital, didn’t feel like a good thing , you never know what women are going through with their bodies before during or after so the snap back culture pre pregnancy jeans etc needs to go , and mama need to be praised for just giving birth and be looked after fed and nurtured and loved on ❤

[@shirleyjean9109]

Babies are soooooo smart, once you hold her a lot they get used to that and it can be very trying because it will lead to you never being able to lay her down. My daughter was a nightmare for 6 months straight. When my son came along we learned very quickly to put him down as soon as we got him home from the hospital.

[@tiwongedimba5900]

That’s not true for all babies
