Some pools require (and some sell) disposable swim diapers, some require reusable ones, and some require layering one on top of the other. If it's the ocean, I'd suggest just taking the baby bare-butted (unless you have one who...

You can use a cloth diaper cover (generally a size too small) as a swim diaper. Or you can get little waterproof speedos (that will hold in the poop).

This is such a hard time, especially with a high-needs baby. Take advantage of trading off with your husband. Take her on walks (since she likes the stroller), because that will get *you* a change of scenery (can someone other than you...

We're doing this. We have gerber (not waterproof) iplay (waterproof crotch) and charlie banana training pants (waterproof), and sometimes slip an insert in for more absorbancy. (we use different ones depending on how much we care about...

Be kind to yourself. It can be hard, and I still struggle.   That said, the first week of being able to walk up stairs and lift things and use your lap is AMAZING. I still (nearly two years out) get excited about running up...

Yes!   If you catch a few pees a week (even just putting him on the potty when you're already changing him, or only in the morning, or at bath time) you get him used to using the potty. That lets you skip that process later.

We've always been able to gate check the stroller. Without buying seats for the kids.
