@satan1568 That is awesome! And inspiring. Little glasses, lol. My toddler does pretty well with glasses these days.

@hope10 That's so interesting re the glass vases!! My guy has a dustpan, broom and brush. He needs it every day for crumbs & accidental food drops. 🤣 I've been asking him to clean up when he makes a mess. He loves to try. We're still working on getting things he sweeps, actually into the...

@euxene I have endometriosis, the pain is real. If your heartburn is specific to ibuprofen and not all NSAIDs, Aleve (aka naproxen) was always much, much more effective for me. I think it is the first line NSAID for menstrual cramps medically. I've even been prescribed diclofenac and "a lot of...

@stacey7 I mean- yeah - my kid unloads and loads the dishwasher, and brings his dishes to clean up. He already uses our glasses. We don't really have baby size ones, if I bought some it would just be to match as a set better lol. He has small stainless cutlery just like ours. It's mostly plates...

@vespin Just chiming in to add my love to the chorus - this is bad advice. Bad bad bad. Using too fast a nipple is definitely a thing that parents do but if you were using #1, that shouldn't get you any more stringent advice than "hmm don't raise that again". And overfeeding is literally not...

My 2yo has outgrown suction plates. I have long needed to get him actual toddler plates, cups, and bowls. I was resisting buying plastic. I don't know why. On Amazon I saw "bamboo" platewear. Perfect! I hit buy. I love them! Soft colors, kinda like plastic but have a much nicer porcelain-like...

@reganne Yes spraypal is bomb!! The competing brand is SimplyImagine Spray Stand (what I have) - both are great. If you do add one of those to registry, you'll want a sprayer too - they're all really the same & the same price, my only rec is to get one that has a variable trigger. It's real...

@y0ung1996 Not really. The scent is mostly strong when they are being washed or when i measure the powder, but it isn't too noticable to me after they are dried.

@peggyleggy Yes the variety is great! I was thinking the same. I am also thinking a simple canvas tent for mine this year (almost 2), and maybe some toddler "furniture" to go in it. But I don't usually start my Christmas shopping until December lol so I am very much in the planning stage.

@sharbodie Yeah ..... If only we didn't have to compromise. I find the box scent nauseating, but I barely notice it on clean laundry. I hate giving up tho, it upset me to stop trying. But my morals disintegrated into a pile of dust after buying that small box of Tide and running a few loads. It...

@y0ung1996 I did not find another unscented option that worked for me. Eventually I had to just buy OG Tide and grit my teeth. I tried a few other unscented detergents before giving up, and all of them either had a "not quite clean enough" issue or a "didn't rinse out enough" issue for me...

@osh Does Nora/Alva actually sell bamboo inserts, or are you using their microfiber ones? I know back when I shopped, what Nora/Alva sold as "Bamboo" were actually 2 layers of microfiber wrapped in a thin bamboo outer and boy did I feel burned when I figured that out. I dunno if they have more...

FWIW I do Normal wash + hot, detergent line 1 Heavy duty wash + soak + hot, detergent line 3-4 ("soak" on my washer adds agitation) No extra rinses. Like I said, if the detergent needs extra rinses, its going to cause build up no matter what I do. So I switch it. Tide regular powder (any...

@aymgoa I have soft water too (25ppm about) and also have fought detergent build up like 20 times. No amount of extra rinse has ever made a badly rinsing detergent work for me. The only solution I have ever found is to switch detergents until I find one that rinses out fine. I can't use less...

@holl There's nothing wrong with switching cold turkey between formulas, breast milk, and even (later at 12mo) onto whole milk. We always switched cold turkey when we swapped formulas - which was very frequently during Great Formula Shortage 2022 cuz baby got what we could find and it wasn't...
