Before you join
Gentle Space is a place to say the hard things out loud. To keep it gentle for everyone, we ask every member to agree to a few things:
- This space is about you. There are plenty of places online for naps, routines and feeding schedules. Here, the focus is how you are doing.
- Be kind. Assume the person posting is doing their best, often on very little sleep. Disagreement is fine, contempt is not.
- Be mindful. People here may be grieving, frightened, or running on empty. Think about how your words might land.
- Share your experience, not instructions. "This helped me" is welcome. "You must do this" is not.
- Respect privacy.Do not share other people's photos, messages or details, and do not repeat elsewhere what people share here.
- No bullying, harassment or hate. It will be removed, and it can cost you your account.
If you are ever unsure, choose kindness. You can read the full Community Guidelines.
