  • I agree with what has been posted about walking, home exercise DVDs, and using baby as weight. I would love to get to the gym to lift weights, but my second baby is colicky and I'm accepting that for right now, I'm not able to work out like I used to. I try to get out for a walk at least once a day when I think babe will…

  • You are not alone in having a 2 year old who has tantrums upon waking. My otherwise lovely, calm, peaceful toddler often wakes up very violently, especially if someone other than me gets him from his bed. It is heartbreaking, but challenging, especially now that we have a baby who is often affected by the noise and…

  • I say eat more! My daily target before adding back 500 breastfeeding cals is 1700. I'm exclusively nursing a 4 month old too. Honestly Momma, now is the time to nurture your body because your baby is counting on you. I try to get 30% of my cals from protein, which is over 100 grams of protein a day. I find that helps with…

  • Not sure how far apart in age your kids are, but have you thought about wearing one child in a carrier and pushing the other for hikes? Won't work for running, but this is the approach I take. My 2 year old rarely wants a ride in the stroller so I decided against a double. I can carry either my 3 month old or my 2 year old…

  • Have you tried youtube? I found helpful youtube videos for using my ergo, burping a baby, ideas for tummy time and for converting my stroller from bassinet to toddler seat. There must be good ring sling tutorials there too! Good luck!

  • Hi! Welcome and congratulations on your new baby! I'm 14 weeks post partum with my second child, and man, he totally suffered from colic. The good news is that it really has passed now - started getting much better by 12 weeks really. I tried everything! He responded well to loud white noise (stove exhaust fan, running…

  • You can do this Momma! The first few weeks/months can be such an adjustment and so hard. Give yourself permission to do what works for you and your baby/family. My 2nd child is 3 months old. I struggled a lot in the first 5 weeks, which completely took me by surprise because my first 5 weeks with my first child were…
