    Newborn Size Clothes are a Scam and Other Thoughts

    @jerryklasic Yeah I had an IUGR baby at 5.5lb full term. We were good in NB until 3mo but now at 7mo she's good in 6-9. We even bought some preemie sizes the first month because she was so small in nb and 0-3. So YMMV there. Also not every brand fits the same so some NB might be comparable to...

    Just a gentle reminder…

    @downdraft This is why I appreciate how baby bumps and beyond the bump ban baby photos. They are the top 1% of reddit communities with new members every day. Just don't put your kids out there. I get that they're babies and no one is gonna recognize them as adults but like, privacy. Yours and...

    My child has been bitten twice in the last 2 weeks at Pre-K

    @alisonhansford Get on the school about why their plan isn't working. He's a danger to your kid and probably others. Your daughter might not see it if she's not the only one being attacked. Complain that it's not just her safety at risk, but the entire classroom's. Are they sending incident...

    Prepare me for the family battle...!

    @beverend I think you just kinda have to stand your ground. The other thing is I'm sure a lot of older generations have an image of cloth in their heads that's not like what it is (well, you can still do it that way.) From what I understand it is much easier today than it was then. A lot of...

    Help a lazy Alva-pocket-diapering person graduate to something better for overnight?

    @morehimlessme You'll want something with bamboo. A lot of them come with microfiber (which is what your Alva inserts are, not polyester) so you'll want something that's pure bamboo. Not hard to find on Amazon. Thing is bamboo can be slow to absorb so you'll want something like cotton to absorb...

    My child has been bitten twice in the last 2 weeks at Pre-K

    @katrina2017 I doubt there's an IEP in place but there's a chance they're working on getting one or a 504. Maybe he's getting ABA outside of school. My guess is if a kid like that had an IEP, he'd have a 1:1 aide. A kid like that who's a danger to others would be supervised at all times if...

    This subreddit needs a wiki

    @pheadablessed That sub is a hot mess. The mods really hate baby bumps and I think you're not allowed to tag other subs at all or it might just be baby subs. At one point one of the mods was trying to make private groups for due date months, like how baby bumps does. That didn't go well. One...

    NB unisex t-shirts

    Anyone know where to get unisex tshirts in sizes NB or 0-3, maybe even 3-6? Looking for regular shirts, not onesies, but side snap style is ok. I'd also like something in color, not just white or gray, which seems to be the only options. Something like this but t-shirts. Like a multipack that's...

    This subreddit needs a wiki

    @duke845 Master list of easy dinner recipes. Like pasta and frozen veggies. Or rice and pan fried chicken. Someone asked this the other day and a list of "quick weeknight recipes" would be good. I know most of us don't have the time, energy, or desire to cook after working and managing hangry...

    Questions for daycare mamas

    @bellamas I teach preschool and both my kids are in school. We actually don't get sick that much. Like some coughs or runny noses, they've had some ear infections, and vomiting and covid (but neither caught at school.) My husband got sick right after they started but I didn't because I teach and...

    Daycare questions- what’s normal?

    @clay9000 I teach preschool and it's not unusual. I mean it doesn't happen often, but it can. They might be reluctant if it's the same age group (not like older or mobile infants) but just frame it that you're new parents and you heard good things about that room and you'd feel a little better...

    Exclusively breastfeeding vs Pumping?

    @alolbu And eventually this evens out. There comes a point when they hit milestones based on their actual age after they've caught up with their peers. I know for sure by 2y you stop counting adjusted age but it could be sooner.

    Im an au pair/nanny and need advice!

    @kazurk I teach preschool. I'd do a mix. Purposely engage at times. "What do you think will happen if we let go of the car? Woah! It went super fast!" But other times just let her be, especially if she's really focused. My own son is just over 2 and I love watching him get engaged on his own...

    Baby Brezza Water Warmer?

    @miche_nz I just made bottles as I went. I room share and in the room is a water cooler that dispenses boiling hot and ice cold water so we just used half and half and that was perfect. Scooped as we went. The nice thing about having it be a regular water cooler is it's used for our regular...
