<![CDATA[I'm a parent with a 9-month old baby looking to chat with other parents.]]>I'm a parent with a 9-month old baby looking to chat with other parents. Can you recommend fedi accounts of parents with younger children who talk about parenting? (There may be many silent parents on here.)

Bonus points if they ride bikes / avoid cars, are passionate about climate justice, are COVID conscious / interested in public health, or concerned about LLMs & surveillance capitalism (all relatively common on fedi no doubt, despite conditions in the outside world).

Ticking all the bonus point, though. So happy to follow & exchange where it fits. โ˜บ๏ธ

It's what I mostly used Facebook for at the time. By the time I was on fedi I had a toddler, and looking for any hashtag in that area was a truly grim experience, so I stopped. Hopefully fedi has evolved into a more useful parenting space by now. Best of luck.

you are doing great: you care, you try, you support your spouse.
It is hard. It can be very lonely. Nothing prepares you for how exhausting and disorienting it is.
Look at the response you got, though! We see you. We understand. You've got this. We believe in you. Give baby a hug (if she'll let you).

You do the sleep routine, then let baby in their crib. If baby cries for you to come back, you first go immediately, comfort and put her back to sleep. Second time, you do the same but let her cry 5mn before coming back. Third time, itโ€™s 10 mn. I donโ€™t think we ever got to 15. This way, baby knows youโ€™re there for them, but they also learn that they have to sleep now.

Nelson, I am 84 so I can't give you everyday advice. But, I have one piece of advice that I personally did and never regretted. When my son was an early teen, I told him that I would not judge if he ever had trouble and needed me. One night, he called from a party for me to get him. He is now in his 50s. We get on well together.
Short of this. Be there for your child - no judgment.

I know one always questions oneself in the phase one is not wanted, but rest assured, it will pass.

Some studies found that an average baby was probably held by over a dozen people throughout the day when we were still tribal. Most days it's 2 now, if you're lucky. So cut yourself some slack, you're literally doing the work of an entire village!
