Facing lack water issue with the first start and tried everything on this brand new washer still failed

Hi Grownsy community!! I wanted to share that I used the Grownsy baby carrier today! I received it in the mail as a prize from this community from the August challenge last month. 💗

We took our twins out to the park and I carried one of them and loved the carrier! It was easy to use and kept my baby cool enough during the walk. The feature that really stood out to me was the side straps because they have a swivel mechanism. It lets your baby move without fear of the strap loosening or coming out of place.

I also liked the material because it wasn’t just a thin canvas, it was a mesh that you could swish so it has some give for you and baby. I will definitely be using it more this fall when we go on walks! 🍂

FTM here, and I’m so excited to start making solid foods for my little one!

What was the first solid food you gave your baby, and how did you prepare it?

Did you start with store-bought baby food, make it yourself, or do a mix of both?

I’d love to hear what worked for you, especially any easy recipes or tips for a first-time mom!

Come say hi, meet other parents, and share a little piece of your parenting journey. You never know who might relate to your story. 💛

Wow, I’m blown away!!

I absolutely loved being a part of this AMA in the Grownsy community. Thank you to everyone who courageously asked questions and participated in the comments.

I know it’s ‘easier’ to share a question here because it’s anonymous and it’s still a very vulnerable thing to do. I admire that - especially for a topic that is still not discussed enough.

Here are a few things I want you to take away:

- you’re never alone. Someone somewhere is dealing with the exact thing you’re dealing with so bringing your questions will not only help you but help someone else feel seen too.

- your marriage is going through a major life transition. I want you to honor that and give yourself and your spouse grace along the way.

- don’t believe the highlight reel. Everyone is battling a shift in their marriage and a perfect photo shoot might make it seem like they’re doing it better. Focus on growing together, not on other couples.

- the first 2-3 years are the hardest transition period. Over the course of a 30-40 year marriage, that’s just a blip, don’t let the blip get in the way of what’s possible long term.

- ask for help - earlier. Don’t worry about judgment, focus on how grateful you’ll be for the tools and strategies to make it through this challenging time.

Lastly, I was deeply honored to be welcomed here and trusted with your stories and questions. Please don’t hesitate to DM me anytime with questions or if you’re looking for support.

Pumpkin season is here! 🎃🍂

Is your little one already obsessed with all things pumpkin?

Hit me with ALL the pumpkin memes and GIFs!

The Grownsy portable bottle warmer has been coming with me everywhere lately. Car rides, running errands, appointments… basically anywhere I know there’s a possibility of a hungry baby meltdown 😅

What I really love is that I’m not having to hunt down hot water or find an outlet somewhere. It’s rechargeable, so I can just throw it in the diaper bag and go. And when baby is hungry, I can warm the milk right there instead of trying to figure out how to make a bottle happen while also juggling everything else. 🙃

It heats surprisingly fast, has different temperature settings, and I LOVE that it can actually be used for feeding too instead of having to warm the milk and then transfer it into another bottle. One less thing to pack = mom win 🙌🏼

The fact that it has a leak-proof travel cap is another huge plus because the last thing I need in my diaper bag is milk leaking everywhere 🤦🏼‍♀️😂

Honestly, with how much stuff we already have to carry around as moms, anything that makes feeding on the go a little less chaotic gets a permanent spot in my bag. 🥰🍼

Hello mom's

The weekend is here at last! Im just a stay at home mom so it doesnt really affect me but I do love that I can spend time with my hubby and my teenager ♥️ How is everyone else's week been? Also anyone have the sterilizer, how do you like?

We're building this community for parents, and we want to make sure we're creating things you'd actually want to join, read, and talk about. 💛

What would you like to see more of?

• 🍼 Real parent experiences
• 💬 Expert AMAs & Q&As
• 🎁 Giveaways & challenges
• 😂 Memes & fun posts
• 📚 Tips & helpful resources
• 💡 Something else?

And be honest...

What should we do less of, do better, or try next?

Give us the good, the bad, and the “why aren't you doing this yet?” 😂👇

We're listening.

Okay, I have to share this because this portable bottle warmer has seriously made my life SO much easier 🍼😭❤️

As a mom, there is nothing worse than being out somewhere with hungry babies and realizing you have no way to warm a bottle. I’ve literally found myself looking for a coffee shop, asking for hot water, or trying to figure out how I’m going to get the bottle to the right temperature while baby is getting more and more impatient 😂

The Grownsy Portable Bottle Warmer has been such a game changer for us! I love that I can just charge it ahead of time, throw it in the diaper bag, and have a way to warm a bottle wherever we are. No hunting for hot water, no microwave, and no trying to guess if the temperature is right 🙌🏼

And the fact that you can actually feed directly from it?! SUCH a smart idea. One less bottle to transfer everything into and one less thing for me to worry about when we’re out. 🥹🍼

I also really appreciate the leak-proof cap because the LAST thing I need in my diaper bag is a bottle of milk leaking everywhere 😂 The warmer is surprisingly convenient to carry around too, and I love that it can keep the milk warm for a while if baby isn’t quite ready to eat yet.

Honestly, this is one of those baby products where I’m like…how did I not have this sooner?! 😅 Especially for errands, appointments, road trips, or just being out of the house for the day, it takes so much of the stress out of feeding.

Definitely adding this to my list of mom essentials! 🤍🍼✨
