    Can anyone actually get baby in backpack position themselves??

    @outofplace_christian I don't move her under my armpit (although that is another method). I grab her under her armpit with opposite hands (think turning a hard corner with the steering wheel, one arm is crossed over the other). Then I lift her up over my head while untwisting my arms. This...

    Can anyone actually get baby in backpack position themselves??

    @outofplace_christian I have a lillebaby carrier and wore my first starting around 6mo, and my second child starting around 5mo, depending on neck and trunk control. I first make sure the arm straps are attached to the sides, but not attached in the small middle crossbody buckle. I secure the...

    Seattle moms and traveling moms please help

    @aaronq10 If you're staying in the Central Business District, a lot of people go to Japonessa. You could walk over to Wasabi or Umi in Belltown and take an Uber back to your hotel. It's getting dark earlier and so it might feel sketchy for you to walk back solo. There's a Din Tai Fung at...

    Seattle moms and traveling moms please help

    @aaronq10 Waterproof Chelsea boots with solid grippy soles such as the ones you can get from Sorel. They have business casual styles. The grates and cobblestone can get slick when wet.

    Looking for some feedback - postpartum support

    @targettarget Yep this . If there was more societal support and there wasn't the pressure of going back to work so soon after birth, then there would be more time for postpartum progress. If you're American, reach out to your local and federal government representative to pressure them to...

    Who are those people losing postpartum weight?

    @kristalyn My uneducated guess would be that your journey will be like your sister's then. One thing that really helped me was that I tried to set a good example for my toddler for food once they started eating solids. We did BLW so there were a lot of vegetables or at least hidden vegetables...

    Should I buy AC?

    @in_his_glory We installed AC after my area went through a few massive heat waves right when the baby was born. We tried moving to the coolest room, sealing it, rigging an ice fan, etc. But the temperature started climbing within a few hours. We were miserable and tried to escape to the mall...

    Who are those people losing postpartum weight?

    @kristalyn I lost the majority of weight gained by 6mo postpartum, but plateaued for the rest of the year while keeping my milk supply and energy up. After the baby weaned I had to put in extra effort to not only lose the few more pounds, but also re-tone and rebuild the muscles I lost. A lot...

    Anyone use cloth baby wipes?

    @dobsonsdogs We use Marley's Monsters cloth wipes. One pack was enough for us and we tossed them in the wash with the diapers. We got a spray bottle for on the road, and at home we used a container. The solution was from Baby Bits Wipe Solution .

    Need advice on finalizing my registry

    @2withjesus Yeah, it's similar to any resale site though, where you just have to be really diligent and ask for more pictures and details. I bought my Lillebaby carrier from there as well as a jujube diaper bag.

    Need advice on finalizing my registry

    @2withjesus We bought the Mamaroo on FB Marketplace or the local mom's buy/sell/trade group (can't remember) for $50. We used it for about 4mo, maybe 15min every couple of days. Some babies hate it though, so I wouldn't spend full price on it. We got a Bjorn bouncer which we used all the time
