I made this little plush dog using super soft yarn and honestly it turned out even cuter than I expected 😄I love how floppy the ears came out, makes it look extra cozy.

I was taught when opening gifts at baby showers or wedding showers to not announce who the giver was in public. My mom always said we don’t announce the giver so as not to embarrass someone who wasn’t able to give as much as someone else. Recently I went to a baby shower where the mother did announce who gave the gift as she was opening them. I have a shower coming up and wondering what the actual expected etiquette is on this?

Baby Shower Goft

My wife and I received a stroller from our registry, but it wasn’t the one we wanted, it was purchased in person at target, the purchaser paid with a debit card. Is it possible to return it and get cash back for it, and use the cash for the stroller we wanted? For reference, the stroller we want is not in stock at Target and thus we cannot use the store credit to purchase it. Thanks for the help!

Best tips or accessories for cleaning a baby’s bottom?

FTM here, due soon. I know the basics (wipes, diaper changes), but I’d love real-world advice on making the actual cleaning process easier—especially for messy poops or wiggly babies.

What accessories have actually helped you? Things like a diaper cream spatula, peri bottle for rinsing, wipe warmers (worth it or not?), changing table liners, or anything else I might not know about.

Also open to technique tips (e.g., patting vs wiping, using cloth vs disposable wipes, position for cleaning). Thanks in advance!

I was going to have a nacho bar. My husband’s grandmother, who first tried to throw me a separate baby shower and long story short now isn’t - turned her nose up and told me her son will barbecue for my baby shower instead.

I don’t want a barbecue. I want nachos.

If I can’t have nachos for some reason I’m going to just do something else.

I’m pregnant and vegan and don’t want my baby shower smelling like meat. I don’t care that other people eat meat. I’ll buy meat tacos instead or something. I don’t want to sit in meat smoke during my baby shower.

Good baby shower gift

Hello everyone.

My cousin (who basically is a sister to me) is having a baby girl! Her baby shower is closing in and I’m looking for a gift along the lines of a big play set or basically a big gift that’s for the baby if that makes sense. I want to get something that and be useful for an extended period time covering the infant and toddler ages. Anyone on knowledge on what something like that is I would very much appreciate it.

Also thank you in advance for any replies as I’m terrible at replying but I will try my best.

Im planning my baby while Im 34 weeks pregnant. Mainly because my due date is mid November and I live in Phoenix. We are planning on hosting it outside where there weather will likely be high 92 F low 71 F in early October (which will be the same week Im 34 weeks). It will be a morning baby shower just to escape the heat (starting 10:30 am) with a Cafe Bebe theme and a coffee cart rental.

Everything lines up except I will be 34 weeks. Has anyone hosted a baby shower at 34 weeks? Was it exhausting? Did you regret it?

I booked my venue for my baby shower for Sunday June 21st and when I told my friend the date she pointed out that it is Father’s Day. Now I am stressed out wondering if it’s possible to reschedule or if I should stick with the original plan.

Would you come to a baby shower on Father’s Day? And if so, what time would you be most likely to show up?

I’m white and husband is Haitian
What did yall do for baby shower
We’re stuck between both traditions which is my family all girls low key and his family both genders and party vibe

I understand he wants to celebrate with his family and friends but I don’t want it to be a party with a dj and loud music. He believes the event should be like a wedding. Where as I am used to the complete opposite and want something much more quieter. We’re stuck in the middle. Any suggestions?
