@servant10 I think this is a good point on the makeup, as teaching kids about stage makeup in the performing arts is a bit different from teaching them about everyday makeup application. However, if the studio has that kind of “dance mom” culture that’s sort of beauty-pageant adjacent, then...

@strange1 You’re looking for some that have a low-cut leg, right? I agree with Hanna Andersson briefs - they’re expensive at list price, but you can get good deals on clearance, and you can find some NWT on resale sites. My toddler really likes Burt’s Bees girls briefs, and those have a fairly...

@mijuk95 Exactly… like what is even the point of having a spouse if not for things like this?

@gomez2219 Yeah, that would probably be the best move. And maybe her husband should just go ahead and schedule his 3 day period in the middle, so they would only have to pay someone for the days when he won’t be at home. He might miss being there for the actual miscarriage, but at least he could...

@gomez2219 Because she said in the OP that they don’t have anyone else who can help her, watch her kid, or take her to the hospital or a D&C appointment. If she had someone else she could rely on for childcare or a ride to the hospital, then she wouldn’t be making this post in the first place...

@gomez2219 Nobody here is assuming that there would be zero financial or other consequences to the family for him calling out of work. The problem is that his wife or child could die or be maimed if she has complications from the miscarriage arise at an inopportune time when nobody is able to...

@xuanang01 I am personally not comfortable with the risk of bedsharing. A family friend lost their infant to bedsharing earlier this year. I don’t think I could ever actually sleep if an infant was in bed with me due to anxiety. But I’d speak to your baby’s doctor and get their input on what the...

@streetlight Beef jerky/smoked meat sticks, chopped nuts? Protein bars, peanut butter balls with oats. Maybe some of those shelf-stable baby food pouches that have yogurt and granola in them - I keep seeing those at the store. Dave’s Killer Bread adds seeds and whole grains for extra protein in...

@spacedog2k5 Yes, and since OP said she lives in a healthcare desert, I’m really worried that she needs support and supervision right now. I totally get that work sucks and many jobs aren’t flexible or understanding when you need to take time off, but if my husband were ever experiencing...

@chris_mil I don’t understand why he isn’t prioritizing being home with you and your daughter during this time. Why doesn’t he just tell work he can’t do this trip because his wife is having a medical emergency, and he needs to be at home to keep an eye on you and your toddler for safety...

@exaltbass This is all US-specific, since you mentioned the AAP. My understanding is that floor beds aren’t manufactured to comply with the safety standards that cribs and toddler beds and PNPs have to meet, so they’re not recommended for kids under age 2. After age 2, though, ANY adult bedding...

@felipeoliveir Your first sentence sums up how I felt reading most sleep training books, lol.
