3 Months of Motherhood; What I've Learned as a New Mom - You get a lot of advice and opinions you didn't ask for. Sometimes it comes from a place of love and other times it comes from a place of judgement. It's from family, friends, strangers and even people without kids. It's usually best to just say "thank you" whether or not you are going to take it - if you breastfeed you will constantly think you are losing your supply. Each time you feed or pump you will obsess and have anxiety over it. Breastfeeding is hard, but feeding your baby is easy; supplementing with or exclusively feeding formula doesn't make you any less of a mother - Try to expose your baby to new things as soon as possible. Try different diaper and wipe brands. Give them bottles occasionally even if they are breastfed. Try feeding them milk straight from the fridge. Introduce different shaped pacifiers. Dump water over their face in the bath. I used to think Pierce only "liked" certain things, but if something didn't work the first time I tried it, I gave up. Turns out, babies aren't necessarily that picky. I have an "easy" baby because I encouraged him to adapt. Adapting to new things doesn't come without challenges. People, including babies, aren't always keen to change, but if you can teach your baby to adapt your life will be MUCH easier #momlifestyleblogger #firsttimemomma #newmommylife #newmomtips #momlifehacks #momhacks101 #3monthsoldbaby

The @adenandanais burpy bibs are a baby registry must have! #ad They are full coverage, super absorbent, and change from a bib to a burp cloth with a quick snap! They have saved us from so many outfit changes from drooling or spit up; a true diaper bag essential!

I promise you will never buy another bib or burp cloth after trying the Aden+Anais Burpy Bib #ad! We have 3 of them in rotation because they are super absorbent, save us from having to change Pierson's clothes at every feeding and transition so easily between bib and burp cloth. I wish I knew about them when I was making my registry!

Meet the new Down To Earth collection for the 4moms MamaRoo Baby Swing #gifted! The MamaRoo Baby Swing offers motions inspired by parents and now new colors inspired by nature! I love the Rosewood color. It complements any area of our home perfectly, and Pierce loves everything else about it 😂. The Down To Earth collection also features Sandstone and Slate Blue, so you're sure to find the perfect fit for you and your baby! #4moms #MamaRooSwing #DownToEarth

It was a very special Mother's Day 💐💕 #firsttimemomma #firstmothersday #floridamoms #orlandomomsblog #disneymoms

Yall, did you know @thredup sells baby clothes?! Not old does a majority of my wardrobe come from Thred Up, but Pierson's does too. I've scored so many great outfits for him for under $5! Plus shopping second hand is great for the environment 🪴 baby's grow out of their clothes so fast that everything I've ordered for him is basically new. #momhacks #momhacks101 #momlifehacks #thredupambassador #firsttimemomma #orlandomomsclub #orlandoblogger #boymomma💙

I can't believe Pierson is 3 months old! He's getting to be such a big guy. The past few weeks he's really started interacting more and developing his personality. From what I can tell he's definitely a morning person; he's so happy at 6am. He loves being sung too and his little alligator lovie is his favorite toy #3monthbaby #boymomclub #mommalife #firsttimemomma #orlandoblogger #momlifekeepingitreal

You may have seen my reel about going back to work; I was so sad about leaving Pierce at daycare, but the transition was a lot better than I thought. Even so, it's hard. Mom guilt is strong, pumping at work is rough and life after work is busy. In 2 weeks I start school on top of it all 🫠 #momhumor #relatablemom #momhacks101 #parenthumor #workingmom #workingmomlife #firsttimemomma #orlandomomsclub

The @owletcare Dream Duo featuring the Dream Sock and the Cam 2 is the reason I am able to sleep at night #ad. Pierce was a NICU baby who struggled with his oxygen levels so having a constant monitor that alarms if his oxygen is low allows me to sleep peacefully. Thankfully it has never alarmed! If you are expecting, make sure the Owlet is at the top of your list and use my code LIVINGHERDREAMSOWLET25 to save! #onlyowlet #familycontent #firsttimemomma #momhacks101

Here's a mom tip for you: As a new mom I bought some things I literally never use. One of those things was my bottle sterilizer. I used it one time and it took FOREVER, because guess what... You still need to wash the bottles first!! My pediatrician and LC both advised me that you do not need to sterilize bottles and pumps parts so now I just wash them with dawn and hot water. It's so much easier and less time consuming! Keep it simple! #momhacks #momhacks101 #firsttimemomma #newmomtips #orlandoblogger #boymomlife
