We’re looking at a 12” cooling memory foam Casper mattress - does anyone own this? Would love some reviews!

@Black-Zebra medication was something that drastically helped me, I was diagnosed 2 years ago and getting on vyvanse helped me implement all of the ideas below. I’m on a low dose and it has made me the person I always knew I could be but couldn’t figure out how to be.

Hi! I’d ask for references, how many hours they work per night if you haven’t already. We had one with all three of our kids, every other night varying from 2-8 weeks. We were fortunate enough to be grandfathered in to a lower rate but the now going rate is usually at least $30/hour. Ours also folded laundry and did dishes when she was there while the baby slept (she had a monitor with her to keep an eye on the baby). The first two weeks there’s a lot of sleeping with a newborn but then they really wake up. I have heard of some nurses now requiring minimum hours and depending on how long they work for you, certain paid time off and paid either 1099 or w-2. We never ran into that but I have heard of that happening.

@longliveyoung wow. Thank you so so much for this.

Have heard amazing things about this

@thegoldengoose dealing with this with our 2 year old who also has a 3.5 month sibling. No advice. We’re surviving not thriving. She’s waking up at 5 AM and won’t go to bed until 9-10 PM.

@SpilledMilk thank you 🤍🤍

I was not prepared for the amount of tears I’m having while knowing our family is wonderfully complete…I still just cannot believe I’ll never deliver another little baby or feel the first movements, etc. Am
I nuts? I know we’re complete but I am so distraught about it.

Waiting to hear from the doctor but we’ve had flu in our house and our nearly 9 week old has a fever and I’m just putting two and two together at this point. Any advice? I know there’s not a lot to do except Tylenol (as directed by doc), and monitor her breathing and hydration/eating/demeanor, and watching her fever generally but…any tips or encouragement welcome!

I always like to give things that elevate daily life in your house or for yourself - maybe something that you would feel ridiculous buying yourself - like kitchen gadgets that’ll cut and seal a cereal bag, a set of linen like guest towels for the bathroom, a fun wine stopper (anthro has so many), festive tea towel, also just bought myself the Owalla coffee tumbler and it’s INCREDIBLE and doesn’t leak and was reasonably priced, a set of garden shears to cut flowers, generic gift tags for birthday gifts, an air tag, etc.! So many options depending on the price point.

@Gray-Kangaroo thank you! My PPA has been really bad so I’m hoping as I work through that, the rage will subside.

We have a 3.5 week old and a 5 year old and a 2 year old. How do yall deal with mom rage? I feel like by the time I know I’d need to take a minute, the rage has already happened. How do yall deal with it bubbling up and stopping it before it happens?

Our two year old has started to wake in the middle of the night, and shrieks like a banshee until I’m worried she’s going to throw up. We’ve tried calming her, rocking her, letting her cry it out. It’s not night terrors, she’s definitely is awake and just ultimately gets pissed off and works herself up. Any advice?
