@intothevoid True, I was very cautious with my baby until about 3 months because young infants are higher risk for respiratory illnesses (including covid). But like the above poster said— RSV and Flu are actually much MORE dangerous at this age so I try to treat Covid the same way I would flu...

@edwina958 Kids and babies are really low risk for covid. I treat it like other illnesses (flu, RSV)— hand washing, avoid large indoor gatherings, avoid unvaccinated folks. But we’re going to daycare, museums, zoo, seeing friends and relatives who are fully vaccinated and traveling to see...

@sass I think “technically” it refers to 8 hours straight of sleep. Practically my kid wasn’t regularly sleeping 7:30pm-7:00am until after she was a year old. But she was sleeping 7:30pm-3:30ish and then 3:30-6:30ish most nights by around 9 months and tbh that was totally fine for me.

@lizhoney Yeah it also depends if you’d want to be able to do like longer day trips potentially (like drive to the zoo/beach/aquarium etc). I work FT but have a little flexibility so occasionally I’ll take a random weekday off because I need to work a Saturday or something and it’s nice to be...

@lizhoney Personally I would prefer to have full days at home with the baby rather than just short days if I had the option. With nap schedules it can be difficult to get out if your day is cup up like that.
