Because of this board...

KellenHi21 · December 2013

Today alone I:

- Bought my first wrap off baby wearing swap on Facebook. (Yay!)
- Went to whole foods and bought antiperspirant-free deodorant.
- bought mum mum's and plum's Yums

...just so you all know how much you influence me... (And that's just today!)

Your turn! How has this BMB influenced you??

tttwalters · December 2013

I bought a crib soother yesterday, it plays music, and has fish that bubble. It seems to help, and often throughout the day I find myself saying to DH, oh a girl on tb suggested this... I also feel more confident, and many more things I can not think of right now.

Lizzybizzy80 · December 2013

Put a blanket in the crib yesterday, watched Scandal, made my own purees, bought an Ergo and cut myself and DH a lot more slack. Plus more.

JANCANDANCE · December 2013

Probably made some life long friends.

CindyRelluh · December 2013

KellenHi21 · December 2013

@Cindyrelluh & @jancandance +1 fo sho.

Eta: especially with few mommy friends irl.

WasNotWas · December 2013

I'm meeting strangers in Houston.
I am probably going to get an actual full night sleep before 12 months (thank you @nykkolaughs)
I don't count age in weeks.
I wear soft pants in public with no shame.

WasNotWas · December 2013

@micabush I PMed nykkolaughs to find out what she was doing with Ella and she has been coaching me (read: telling me to suck it up and get us both to sleep better). With Bradley I was always worried about his size and he only ever woke up to eat, and went to bed really easy, so I never sleep trained. This time Tyler is a frigging moose and should be able to handle going all night without eating. So far I've only cut one of his 3 MOTN feedings and he had made up for it during the day = success

Tl;dr nykkolaughs is my cheerleader

KellenHi21 · December 2013

@Sctiger I got a Didymos Tussah 1975

so excited for it to get here!

Well, H would say I've spent a ton of $ because of all of you KnP, sleepsuit, swaddle me, adorable outfits, carriers, books, etc. Truthfully, we've saved a ton because we're making educated decisions.

lol I'm sure my h would say the same!

[Deleted User] · December 2013

You all have taught me....

- That it's acceptable to go 21 days between EBF poops (I think it was 21? Anyway, it was way longer than our 7 days.)
- How to transition from RNP to crib
- What Wonder Weeks are (Week 26 is kicking our a$$ right now!)
- Best recipe for handprint salt dough ornaments and several real life pictures
- Mmmm oatmeal recipes
- That STTN is not the norm

Thanks ladies!

TheTamedShrew · December 2013

That I'm never alone, no matter what I go through as a new parent.

llbta85 · December 2013

- bought two wraps off the swap and now comb through the wraps almost daily...

- heard/learned about BLW

- learned how to best store BM in the freezer

- not as worried when DD doesn't hit a milestone right no time

HeartLikeMine3 · December 2013

You all have taught me so much on car seat safety. I have been encouraged to keep on BF, start sleep training And buy all the cute things!
Also it feels great to know I'm not the only mom who's still not STTN. I pph you guys :x

Pretty! Did you get a good deal? What size did you get? I got a 5. Figured it was long enough to do pretty much all the carries without having too much extra fabric.

Yeah got a great deal, it's a new wrap so I'll have to break it in. I got a size 6, which should be long enough for all the carries. I'm excited to try back carries especially!

Western Diva · December 2013

So many things!

-EZ grip teether
-piano mat
-wonder weeks
-not STTN
-sleep training without CIO

I've relaxed so much since DS1...

And I talk to DH about "someone I know did this.". Then he asks who and I have to say "on the Bump.". He tells me I don't actually know you all...but I feel like I do!

cynthia2007 · December 2013

I've learned a lot. I don't have a lot of mom friends local to me so it's nice to come here and get advice and share experiences. Some things such as: - STTN - nose frida - increasing milk supply And it's nice to ask about certain things to do/give LO and get back to share with DH when he questions about starting something new like baby mum mums

sparklemotion86 · December 2013

I've learned a lot from this board even though I'm a STM. Things are different since I had DS and there are so many knowledgeable ladies on this board.

Plus I met my BFF, @WifeofaComposer on this board. Or maybe I'm just a creepy stalker.

PinkPuffyHeart2 · December 2013

I also succumbed to the pressure of the almighty piano mat.

I tried blw.

I take way more pics of my baby so I can be a pw.

I learned a whole bunch about baby sleep, vaccines, and different parenting styles.

Don't know what I would do without you guys.

@amiet79 - If you're a creepy stalker, then I am, too. You're my BFF and I heart you forever!! :x

jennOK · December 2013

Nope. @libberluru

FunkyPhoenix · January 2014

1. Got a Nose Frida
2. Got a Piano Mat
3. I now know that growth spurts can cause crazy feeding and crappy sleeping
4. I also now know that crap sleeping is pretty normal, even at this age (regardless of the looks I get from people IRL who hear that he's still not STTN)
5. I now know all these acronyms! (And sometimes almost accidentally use them IRL)
6. I now know that babies aren't supposed to wear coats or jackets while in the carseat (Hey! Don't judge me! I live in Houston! We have summer practically year round!)
7. Met a fellow bumpee who is local
8. Going to meet another in February
9. Now trying random beers... And liking them!
10. I know there's more but just want to add that I am really thankful for this board and you guys. Hard core. You help me get through a lot of crap I'd probably lose my shit over otherwise.

Give it time. Just because she doesn't love it now doesn't mean she won't love it it a few months.

Thats what I figured. I'll put it under her crib for now, and bring it out in a month or two.
