@mogulmama It’s totally normal and actually quite a sweet name. Vince is a cute nickname, etc. I was worried from your post that you had chosen an “artist name” that was obscure or tied to a fandom in some way - like naming a kid Picasso or Springsteen. But your FIL is majorly out of line on a...

@pchris I really wish that there was some studies done on the impact of social media on maternal health and safety knowledge. It’s absolutely baffling how much misinformation drives in mom-baby circles around topics like breastfeeding and co-sleeping. I have seen parents ardently encouraged to...
