Lakes, Oh. My. God. I just.... I mean... I just can't. She's really smart, just not a baby person. Several family members, including her own parents, have mentioned how she didn't strike them as naturally maternal. Not that it excuses safety issues.

Yes! And that's my problem. I research the heck out of everything and don't want to come off to strong because I want her to be comfortable asking me questions. So far she has and hopefully she will continue to do so. I think I managed it calmly and not in front of her parents so she wasn't embarrassed. You know my life. My little sister is due Friday and so far has done an awesome job of being on top of her shit. I'm hoping this continues so I'm not tempted to put on my big sister hat bc I don't always wear it well but like you said, I definitely want her to come to me if she needs help or has questions. It's extra tough because I actually liked her the first couple years before she got all crazy competitive with the wedding/house/babies stuff. I always try to be nice because I still want a good relationship but then she says/does something crazy and it irks my soul. Then you guys and my poor h get an earful 😂

My SIL registered for one of those big puffy crib bumpers. I'm trying to find the best way of telling her it's a SIDS risk without sounding like a pushy btdt mom.

Also when I got out of the car, mil was all "omg I can tell you're losing weight! You look great!" It's nice to hear that from someone who is not my husband 🎉🎉

Lakes, omg on all counts. And I feel your pain on pinchy grabby babies. Mine is now grabbing, pushing and pulling at my boobs. My nips are starting to feel like newborn nips. Also, Hs cousin may have brought her week old baby out in the sun not to go somewhere but so she could be outside. And she keeps complaining that he's not sleeping and "screaming his head off." I actually mailed her my copy of happiest baby with a note that said read it, it saved us. I can do no more. 😞

Holy shit Lakes, that is something. I was pretty clueless about things (as we all are) but wtf... your baby's butt is red and bleeding! Did you really think that was normal?!?! (I am speaking directly to your SIL) Oh, and hi friends 🙂
