A REALISTIC BUT FULL DAY IN THE LIFE | first time mom of a 5 month old baby | morning & night

[@sydthekyd25]

so relieving to hear another mom say she’s in no rush to do sleep training/no contact sleep/changes in bottle feedings, etc. i feel like there’s a pressure in motherhood about reaching new levels and skills that just shouldn’t have to be rushed!!

So so relatable! I’m a stay at home mom to a 6th month old and it flies by! I couldn’t agree more with everything you said! Trust your gut and do what works for you and your family!! ❤

That's nice Kyle was home for a while. Your coffee always looks so fancy. Love it.

First, there is absolutely nothing wrong with feeding to sleep. Idc what anyone else says - there’s nothing wrong with it! Second, I commented this on your IG post but also leaving it here: I have 2lb wrist weights (so 4lbs total) and an 8lb weighted vest that I wear for 2-3 hrs each day. I wear it during nap time while I’m cleaning, doing dishes, folding laundry etc. it’s a great way to incorporate a workout/a little bit of resistance into things that you’d already be doing anyways! Bonus if you have them on while holding baby or doing an at home workout! And trust me, you WILL feel it! Just thought I’d share ☺️

I would not want a gym childcare taking care of my baby....the GERMS! Not to mention everything else you mentioned! I would work out at home until he gets older. That's what I did and it worked really well with my kiddos :)

I kind of have regret with my now 2.5 year old. He would sleep at home in his crib 90% of the time in the perfect sleep environment. I have always had the hardest time being out during naptime because he won’t sleep anywhere else well. I’m having my 4th in April and I’m going to use the heck out of my solly wrap and naps will not always be in the crib at 5 months and beyond.

Happy Thursday

I had a question about how naps/sleeping has been going! Does he often wake up or cry out for a binky when you lay him down? My baby girl does decent when going down in the crib but she sometimes will cry out and wake up and need the binky which sometimes is stressful because if I want to shower or something during her naps or when we put her down to sleep I get stuck staring at the monitor. Do you ever feel anxious when you are trying to do things or relax when he’s sleeping?
