@lukester09 Weaning can be a sloooow process. You can do it super gentle and gradual. Cut each nursing session down by a minute or two each time. Each time he wants to nurse, try to delay by a few minutes- offer food or water, distract him, tell him we’re just going to wait a little, etc It’s...

@joejefferson The WHO does not recommend breastfeeding exclusively with no food until 2. They recommend breastfeeding until at least 2 but not exclusively. Breastfeeding exclusively for that long would be dangerous and leave the kid malnourished

@jonhansen Got any citations for that first sentence? Miralax is not absorbed systemically so has essentially no side effects other than short term diarrhea if you take too much

@johncook That Facebook page is wild. A toxin that will injure them for life? What are they even talking about?

@binfoco Occasional sweets on special occasions will not harm your kid. Being isolated from social celebrations is probably more harmful.

@innocentguy12 Clarify what you mean by “miralax is not a clean option for kids”?

@lorenzomcgoo It can take several months if she’s been chronically constipated for a while. Chronic constipation causes the rectum to dilate, which means the poop becomes too big to easily push out if it’s at all hard, and makes it harder for the kid to feel when they need to poop. It takes time...

@katty143 Miralax needs adequate fluid intake to work- it works by drawing fluid into the intestines to soften the poop. So while you don’t necessarily have to drink the miralax as a beverage, if you aren’t getting adequate fluids in general, it won’t be as effective. Giving it in a cup of some...

@lorenzomcgoo Put it in something tastier than water like juice or milk. Miralax in water is kind of gross and it’s not surprise she doesn’t like it But also, she’s two. She should definitely be drinking more than a couple ounces of non-breast milk liquid per day. You don’t need to stop...

@sachin0990 The CDC has a whole “catch up” schedule for missed/late vaccines. The doctor may ask why you’re behind so they can address concerns,but most likely they’ll just be glad to have you there

@strange1 Boy undies are mostly butt shaped

@sue94 Yes he can sleep in the tent, but my sleeping mat doesn’t fit two people and he needs something to insulate from the ground. Most sleeping mats are quite squishy, thus a risk for suffocation if he can’t roll over reliably. I was wondering about semi-firm but packable surfaces that would...

@mrssmith The hospital won’t let you leave unless you have a car seat so it’s nice to have it by the time you’re ~36 weeks If you want that specific set and it’s not available to buy locally if you have your baby before your due date, then you shouldn’t wait

@dobsonsdogs I cut up flannel into squares, my mom sewed the edges on her machine so they don’t fray. I wet them just with water, no special solution. Put them in the bin with the cloth diapers and wash them together. If you’re cloth diapering it’s really minimal extra effort to do cloth wipes

@dobsonsdogs I don’t have a sprayer but just would double wash my cloth diapers- Id do just a rinse & spin with the washer to get the poop out before doing the full wash cycle

@chole1 Socks as gloves is a great idea! Baby gloves never stay on.

@jewelz613 Does the ergo pouch cover their hands? My baby’s hands always get cold at night even in our bed, so I worry about that when we’re sleeping outside

@anonymous9299 A lot of places offer free trial classes- dance, gymnastics, martial arts. Your parks & recreation department might also have classes/activities that are low cost and low commitment (like you only sign up for a month at a time versus a longer membership). Your library and YMCA...

@jazzytorres That baby deedee looks awesome! I found another baby sleeping bag thing but it was like $150 so that price is way better. My baby is used to falling asleep with lights on so hopefully it won’t be too much of an issue. My big kid (6 years) however insists that it can’t be bedtime...

@golgotha007 I can’t imagine taking a stroller camping/hiking. I don’t even like using them on pavement, let alone on a trail. We wear him everywhere, so at least that I won’t have to adjust
