@cindyfernandez The thing is "sleep training" no longer means just CIO. Its much more a blanket term for various methods ranging from very gentle suggestions to full on CIO.

@shiftybroccoli I agree with getting rid of the 4 month rule. I'm not saying promote CIO or night weaning, but parents with kids under 4 months need help and guidance too. Some skills can be learnt before 4 months (like self soothing), some issues can be tackled to help reduce night wakings and...

@lmd0137 Fever free 24 hrs, I'd class anything under 100 as "within normal range" especially if it's only in the 99.5-99.9 range for short periods.

@rachele14 I'd prefer employers to offer better benefits (family leave, paid time off) more flexibility, understanding, possibly part time hours, as well as reducing there engrained sexism towards women being the ones bearing the brunt of this mess. The problem is parents dont want their kids...

@naila I've said point blank if my company wants me in office I will not be leaving my home before 7:30 am and I will be leaving the office at 4pm. The one and only time I've had to go to the office it was 8am-5pm plus team dinner, I saw my youngest for 5 min that morning, and my eldest for 5 in...

@cricafan93 This is a good question. Even with both parents home, our son tends to have a lot of screen time on weekends. Maybe 3-4 hours a day (split into smaller chunks). Compared to the week where he has 30 minutes whilst dinner is being made and his baby brother is being put to bed. Prior to...

@kitsoni I'm glad you were able to figure it out. Of course it is possible, and its silly that so many websites say it isn't.

@jesuschrist4life Those things I don't mind, because they have no idea that it's an insult, and it's not intended to be mean. I also dont mind when my kid says things like "i dont like you/go away/i hate you/i dont love you" etc when he is having a hard time or he prefers dad or he doesn't like...

@maves I always plan days off when my kids are in daycare. Except 9 times out of 10 they end up being home sick. I think in 3 years of being a mom I've managed 3 or 4 days to myself out of 18 scheduled (I try once every 2 months)

@umaid I'd say at least 3 days. Stopping approx every 2-3 hrs for 15-30 minutes. 6 months should handle it pretty well, better than a 1-4yo.

@sofie So after doing research we decided the benefits far outweighed the minimal risk. Our son was such a noisy sleeper, so I never got any sleep with him in the room, and we likely intervened too soon thinking he was awake when he was not. Basically noone was getting enough sleep and it was...

@sofie Our son is 17 months old, and has been in his room since 2 months old. So it gets a ton of use, but it is purely functional. It has not been painted, there's no decals or pictures or stuff on the walls. I had plans but we never got around to it.

@peakdixon We personally picked a name we both pronounce the same. More likely because they will be going to a school where friends and teachers will pronounce his name the same way as his father. I didn't want to be the only one pronouncing the name differently (my family would also, but they...

@chillcwill Do it! I think it would be a detriment to your eldest to pull them out for 9 months before they're due to start School. Also, dropping off / picking up 3 kids from daycare sounds a lot easier than taking care of 3 kids all day. Having to load them all up by yourself to get them out...

@daphne1 This is all just my understanding/ recollection from my own research on the subjects, though I don't have the studies/references on hand. Slight increase in chance of PROM above the average (avg is 8-10%), so not even close to guaranteed. I had similar and was informed it's actually...

@icecream543791 In our area, most Pediatricians don't even have the original moderna, let alone the booster, they just have Pfizer (and that took them WEEKS) to get. We had to take our 2yo on a 40 minute drive each way to the local health center for his 1st and 2nd shot. Now debating whether we...

@peter_aka_00avenger00 The only thing that I was like "fair enough" was the cereal for the iron. But you could also just do iron drops, our pediatrician even suggested an "iron fish".
