“Hi moms, last night my LO was fussing as he was BF, so I asked DH to take her. My DM also helps during the day seeing as I’m a CS mom. What tips can you give this FTM to make my experience with DD easier? Also, what FP should I use since I don’t want a SB soon? TIA!
Moms, have you ever come across such a post and you somehow got lost in it all? Well, I’m a member of several mommy Facebook groups in Kenya, and there are many abbreviations that moms frequently use such that if you’re unfamiliar with them, you’ll thoroughly float. As I have done many times 🙂 Has that ever happened to you too?
So I’ve compiled a few of these abbreviations to help out any new mom. If I have left out any, please add in the comments section below. Also share with a fellow mom!
