    What kind of car do you drive?

    @olaitan A five year old could do it, but for a multi-stop trip, it could get annoying. For adults, I fold one of the third row seats down and they climb in through the trunk. Luckily, that’s not a regular occurrence.

    What kind of car do you drive?

    @olaitan We have a GMC Acadia with captains chairs for the second row and love it. I still wouldn’t say it’d be easy to get into the third row, at least with two rear facing seats. If the 2.5 year old was forward facing at that point, it would be easier, otherwise you’d have to duck under and...

    Would you send your kid to daycare tomorrow?

    @katrina2017 Exactly. I once tracked my daughters temperature at every diaper change (she was little and this was when daycares required a negative Covid test to return and it could take four days to get one even scheduled) and every day she’d be around 99.5 for the same time period. It was just...

    LO is 11% in weight help!

    @stepheno I wouldn’t worry too much about the percentile unless she wasn’t gaining weight or was dropping percentiles or the pediatrician is concerned. If she doesn’t seem hungry and isn’t willing to eat more at a time, I wouldn’t worry much at all really. I would see if you could get her to...

    Postpartum B.O

    @radicallyreformed13 My husband promised me he couldn’t smell it either but I couldn’t stand myself. Good to know he may not have been lying to make me feel better lol. I don’t remember exactly when it went away but somewhere around six months I realized I didn’t stink anymore for both kids.

    Kindergarten Red-Shirting

    @hilgard Oh I get that. But I feel like progressively increasing the age of kindergarteners isn’t the answer. I get everyone is looking out for their own child, but it’s just creating more of a mess.

    Kindergarten Red-Shirting

    @jadaley07 I’m also of the mindset that the “redshirting” has gotten out of control. Somebody has to be the youngest in the class and we’re just collectively moving the goal posts. In our town, if you attempt to start a year late they will put your child in first grade. My daughter was born 3...

    WWYD, kindergarten for July baby?

    @jellofishxo I’d follow what seems right for your child now rather than some pre-conceived notions about what life may be like over a decade from now. I personally don’t understand this trend of people holding their kids back for some sort of advantage - it just moved the goal posts. The people...

    My toddler eats like 8 things and I don’t have the energy to do anything about it

    @9ikanews This is what we do. As my now 3.5 year old got more verbal, I added in a few things. If you don’t like something on your plate, just ignore it. No need to toss it or complain about it. We use the term “learning to like” instead of just letting her say she doesn’t like it. Food...

    Newborn has 10+ poops for the past 4 days. Time to change formula?

    @lisafab I’ve used either the parents choice or Up & Up, depending on availability. They’re all made by the same manufacturer and just placed in the stores packaging.

    Newborn has 10+ poops for the past 4 days. Time to change formula?

    @lisafab We had a similar situation and switched to the exact formula you have linked (all of those generics are identical) and it helped immensely. It took a few days to fully clear out, but within two days I saw a decrease in the frequency and liquid nature of his stools. Our pediatrician has...

    Is it a bad idea to wait until Black Friday to order my car seat / stroller? I’m due December 6th

    @alvaroc And a fantastic rewards program! I’ve gotten several baby items for free with the points from the car seat and stroller I was going to buy anyway.
