    Dog nipped baby (X-posted)

    @mamak Oh nooooo I didn’t see that one! But always remember, the tinier the teeth, the more needle like they can be. Ouch!

    Dog nipped baby (X-posted)

    @captseriouspants No one bothers to train the damn chihuahuas because they think they’re too small to cause damage. It’s a huge disservice to the dog and everyone else.

    Tiny sleep sacks and lose the swaddle NOW!

    @ozziesmom Both arms out if baby is rolling. They need to be able to move themselves if they get into a position they can’t breathe. It’ll be up to a week to adjust, but it will be okay.

    Dog nipped baby (X-posted)

    @mamak Yup. The first bite happened with the family all right there. Second bite could 100% happen that way again.

    Would you send baby for settle sessions at nursery when there's a d and v bug?

    @tali26 I would if possible. IIRC it reduces the chances of contracting shingles as an adult. Shingles hurts and it sucks. The reason it isn’t recommended in the UK is that people who have previously contracted chicken pox who are not continuing to be exposed to the virus are more likely to...

    Tiny sleep sacks and lose the swaddle NOW!

    @benromana This Halo sack in the newborn size fits 6-12 pounds. Wrap the wings under her arms so both arms are out. It should keep her from being able to slip her arms inside. Once she’s 10 lb. you can switch to a regular Halo sleep sack size small. The design is exactly the same minus the...

    Should I get bloodwork done to find out the gender Y or N?

    @asupersquirrel If you will be a so called “geriatric” pregnancy - hate that term btw - then your insurance is more likely to cover it because of the testing for other genetic conditions.

    Another mom told me I have a fat a** today

    @sakura656 Good on you for mentioning it to staff! Kids’ museums usually have rules of conduct and there’s no way she was within them. I feel bad for the kids she was there with. Her own daughter has probably normalized that behavior, which is bad enough, but the other kids were probably so...

    I’m the MoH in a wedding where the flower girl has HFM

    @creamsoda And, there are a few different strains of HFM. Even if you had it as a child, you could still get it again if you’re exposed to a different strain.

    No S.I.T.B.A.C.K. after 5 months?

    @huntbchsocal IME, they are not compatible with each other. Abc’s has a different procedure for wakeups/crying with the pop ins. However, if you choose to delay starting the ABC’s, you can continue to use SITBACK. We waited until LO was 7.5m to do ABC’s, and used SITBACK successfully until...

    Newborn Size Clothes are a Scam and Other Thoughts

    @rakis Same. 7lbs 6oz at birth and wore newborn clothes for the first 6 weeks or so. He did eventually have a growth spurt, chunk up and get tall, so we spent very little time in the 3-6m sizes, and he’s now in 12m onesies and 18m sleepers at 10m, but that’s gonna vary from baby to baby.

    I’m the MoH in a wedding where the flower girl has HFM

    @todaystheday I would check what her current symptoms actually are before making any decisions. She might not be contagious anymore. If she is still contagious, I would inform the bride of exactly how shitty the symptoms can be, both in children and adults (can you imagine having HFM sores on...

    Another mom told me I have a fat a** today

    @sakura656 Oh wow. If you know which school, you could call and let them know what happened. I’m sure they would prefer not to have someone like that “chaperoning” on future trips.
