    I don’t get it

    @15gb2 I based my wake windows and ounces fed around my baby’s cues and their natural sleep patterns. And there wasn’t much of a schedule for the first few weeks, it’s a clusterf*ck.

    I'm ready to throw Gen Z into a fire

    @tomq1979 I’m a former nanny here too. Totally true about red flags, but these candidates should at least have the decency to cancel the interview. Not doing so is super unprofessional in my opinion.

    @gizmorazaar About the most sane feeding advice I’ve ever read, and put so succinctly.

    Tired of “words I can’t pronounce”

    @kamga I’m a nurse (not in oncology) and I still can’t pronounce most of those names. It’s literally like someone smashed their head against a keyboard and called it good.

    Formula Scoop Weight Experiment

    @corbinw I feel the same. It shows how arbitrary the whole process can be because most babies thrive regardless. But for preemies and medical indications this is really important, and I love that someone weighed it out because I’ve thought about it a lot!
