@blueedgar Yeah I was able to read the link eventually and it’s a fairly vague statement about the machinery used to manufacture flours. Eh. I can’t take her seriously because she makes proclamations like that that aren’t really supported or in her wheelhouse.

@tanujayawhite How is Lead Safe Mama suggesting that making our own flour is somehow safer than store bought? For whatever reason I can’t click into the link. I think I’d rather check the paint in my house for lead than make my own flour.

@jsphalford11 Libby has a lot of audiobooks that you can download to the app on your phone. There’s also a Libby specific sub on Reddit that has good info for troubleshooting problems in the app. Not that there are many problems per se, but a little scroll through there can optimize it a bit I...

@stacey7 I was just thinking to myself, hmm wonder how long it takes for her to show up in here. I appreciate her work in spreading the word that we need to be mindful of lead in products, but it’s never been very clear to me what her qualifications are. I tried backtracking the lead claims on...

@deepseed386 Nice! It’s really reassuring to hear that other parents are making travel happen. We’re fully prepared to adjust things to be more relaxed and kid friendly, but I had no idea until recently that so many people hated traveling with their kids. I figured that if I’ve flown all over...

@deepseed386 Ohhhh ok thank you for letting me know that it isn’t ok without the stand. Hmm. Well, we have the stand for at home and the their travel crib, so I guess we’ll bring the travel crib, too. Yes definitely a hassle! I’ve got the travel crib, the travel wash kit for the bottles, the...

@deepseed386 The Vista bassinet is kinda bulky, but better than lugging a travel crib in the very early days (i think?). I did a fit check in my cars and it’s not too bad. Doing everything one handed isn’t something I really appreciated until now. Definitely a good point!

@deepseed386 Omg. You’re a lifesaver! I had absolutely no idea that you could adapt the Minu! I think this is the solution we wanted! Due to a situation, we have to travel right away with baby. The time and distance means we should use the bassinet since baby will be so tiny, but we weren’t...

@zermel I originally wanted the Bugaboo Donkey or Fox based on online research and then saw them in the store and noped out. Until you see them in person it's hard to see just how big these things are! Of course the UB versions are basically the same, but still. I can't imagine having to make...

@_epoh_ Thanks for putting 35 pounds into perspective because I had no clue! Even if my baby isn’t in the 99th percentile, they might be 35 pounds at say 2 and a half-ish. It really makes you stop and realize that this phase doesn’t last long. Between the two families, we tend to be big humans...

So I decided on an Uppababy Cruz after thinking about the Bugaboo Fox/Donkey, Silvercross Whatevers, and some Nuna Acronyms. Our main goals were to have bassinet compatibility, low weight and ease of use. Uppababy has the travel protection if you buy their bags, so that was major since we...

@ytinifni132 That’s incredible! I feel like I made a wish and a fairy granted me an UB seat! I had no idea they had just launched a new infant seat. It looks great, is light and priced well. We weren’t going to use the infant seat on the stroller, but it’s nice that we could do so easily on...

@iris15 Thanks for the Orbit suggestion. I was really focused on buying the lightest seat in order to accommodate a disability, but the rotation might be another option. I don't care what the seat costs, but at the same time I don't see the point in frittering money away and the new Lite seat...

@sandra142 That's so odd and frustrating. Also something you'd assume they could provide since they most certainly can provide it. They just don't want to.

@iris15 I wouldn’t call it a scandal in any way because it’s a company revamping their product line. Unless I’m missing something, I’ve not heard of babies dying or anything scandalous because of their products. However, I’m a little annoyed that it’s difficult to get the weights with the...
