  • Newborn baby legs question
    How long did you use the newborn size of baby legs for the BTDT moms? I have a few one size baby legs from my son, but never tried the newborn ones. Just wondering how many newborn sized baby legs to get since they make diaper changes easier.

    By Valentinesbabymaybe in December 2020 Birth Club
    I love seeing newborn photos right now to remind me of what’s ahead and why these pains are worth it. Here’s my now three year old as a newborn. Show me your previous newborn babies. Pregnant with baby fever.
