@ebveloz I wish there was better research on this! I was a unicorn crib sleeper as a baby who night weaned myself early, sucked my thumb obsessively (ruined my teeth) and was not sleep trained (went into my parent’s bed a lot as a toddler, grew out of it) and I’m still a great sleeper. My...

@porven No. I am a hermit by choice. The challenge for me with parenting is forcing myself to socialize occasionally for the benefit of my child I honestly find my 13-month-old a lot more interesting to engage with than 99% of adults… I have no interest in having a job, much less a career, but...

@ebveloz Possums is more scientific than most resources on infant sleep. There’s not really any evidence that feeding, nursing, rocking etc to sleep or responsive parenting at nighttime results in babies which sleep less in infancy, much less in adulthood. Anecdote about my own family: I wasn’t...

@regina1961 I see, it’s all making sense now. You can buy non-homogenized milk most places in the US but it’s not even always advertised as such and I don’t think it’s enough of a market to cause ‘homo milk’ to be needed as a distinction

@mybridges Interesting. Close age gaps are NOT for me for many reasons. Personally though I’m not too worried about autism, as I have it and so do many of my family members. Now that I think about it - in my family it’s ALL oldest and only children who have autism (my grandma [oldest], my aunt...

@onlyjesus316 Hey, I just wanted to say you sound like a great mom and I related to a lot of this, as someone with an abuse history who also has AuDHD, PDA and misophonia/sound sensitivities- but my kid while having similar tendencies (shouting demands repeatedly all day, very verbal, extremely...

@nonaeroterraqueous Congratulations!

@archivesgal Congrats!

@gwc7223 Someone down thread posted an interesting study that had found that men have either more X, more Y, or balanced X/Y ratios in their sperm. Men in the study with more Y sperm in their samples were found to have more boys born in their family. So, I’m assuming my husband has more Y sperm...

@grace2018 It’s available in most grocery stores everywhere I’ve lived in the USA (SD, NY, PA, IL, NM) but it’s all from niche brands or small local dairies. Love my ‘cream top’! When I lived in Chicago in 2015 we had a local dairy deliver glass bottles of unhomogenized milk right to our back door.

@fcb349 Anecdote: I need there to be research on it improving fertility lol. My husband and I were infertile for three years of trying and I had my first pregnancy ever the first cycle after we got our second dose, together. Our daughter will be 4 months soon. I have seen a lot of other stories...

@elam84 My entire family is incredibly girl-heavy and I always wonder what the scientific explanation is. My mom is one of 5 girls, there was one single boy born to my aunt 42 years ago but all the other cousins/every baby since him has been a girl. I have a daughter and all my (female) cousins...

@regina1961 I had no idea, that’s so funny. Is non homogenized milk commonly consumed?

@ericguitarman Every kid is different. Mine wasn’t too difficult as a newborn. Crawled, pulled up and walked pretty early so that was a lot to manage. Months 10-15 were absolutely brutal with frustration, teething, food refusal, screaming night wakings and self harming meltdowns. After that it...

@trekdad99 My vaccine baby is 🥴

@logansc My 2yo has been 8-8 or 8-7 pretty much her whole life. Sometimes takes until 8:30 to fall all the way asleep. She doesn’t need a ton of sleep and stopped napping around her 2nd birthday. If she does fall asleep in the afternoon now, she’ll be up past 9 I was a high sleep needs kid and...

@sisi I’m one of 3. For various reasons my parents were ill-equipped for parenthood, and 3 kids was completely overwhelming for them. We are also all developmentally disabled (I have autism and ADHD, sisters both have ADHD, we were all dxed in the 90s) as are/were both my parents (not dxed but...
