One of my mom friends in the neighborhood decided that Mother’s Day will be the day her family throws an epic backyard party. We all have little kids, so they set up a bounce house and hire their babysitters for extra hands (this is clutch!!) The dads do all the coordinating of food and drink, so I just get to show up and sip rosé. It’s chaotic and fun, and it’s now the thing I look forward to the most on Mother’s Day.

I read it when my kiddo was 20 months and found it super helpful then and still now a year later. Agree that the collaborative “how do we solve this?” parts are for 3yo+ but reading it early gave me good tools, and got me into the habit of using them (acknowledging feelings, not talking too much, etc) So as my daughter grows we can incorporate some of the other stuff.

Came here to say the same! Wish someone (besides Crib Sheet) unequivocally told me “The pressure to breastfeed is stupid. Just give your kid some formula and you’ll both be happier for it!”
