    Got an 'answer' for my "next level" velcro baby. I was too stressed while pregnant.

    @nazpastor I was super relaxed with my first… I got to lounge during the day because I didn’t have anyone else to care for. I got to nap whenever. And work was pretty slow and he was super clingy. Like cried the entire time I was gone until he was a year old even with dad. My second, I had...

    My bonus was pro-rated to deduct my maternity leave

    @mh86 My bonus, surprisingly, was not prorated (I was out 5 months). Our company determines bonuses based on a company incentive program fund (so if the company does well and the fund is at 103%, we all get 103% of our annual bonus- there is a bit of wiggle room though for performance it seems...

    How long did your child fit in the Nuna Rava?

    @kspriggs We recently purchased a second for our second on sale for only $350. It’s the caviar color. We love the seat. My 99 percentile almost 3 year old is comfortable rear facing still. It’s also wayyy easier to tighten/loosen the straps to get him in and out. Definitely worth the extra...

    How long did your child fit in the Nuna Rava?

    @djaycobb They initially said: If the straps were soaked or submerged, we would recommend replacement. The straps are part of the frame, so it would be a frame replacement. We sell the frames for $350, but right now the Rava in curated and refined are on sale for $399, which may be better for...

    How long did your child fit in the Nuna Rava?

    @cathijean Ah that’s crazy! Thanks for informing me. I’ll go ahead and call… although I didn’t think you could even remove the straps! I did initially use a wet rag but the smell was still there so I soaked them… just emailed I’ll let you know what they say!

    How long did your child fit in the Nuna Rava?

    @katrina2017 I never even considered this… we had to submerge part of the straps to get vomit out of them at one point. I just used water with a bit of dish soap. Is it really going to affect the integrity? How else are you suppose to clean them?

    Toddler throwing a tantrum because I cut his pb&j. Do I make a new one or stick to my guns?

    @yeleski Yeah, this works like 50% of the time. Lol. I think he’s just hangry after nap because he’s a mess until we get some food into him.

    Toddler throwing a tantrum because I cut his pb&j. Do I make a new one or stick to my guns?

    @blessedbeyondbelief This works like half the time for us. It’s probably because we typically do smoothies after nap and he’s hangry…

    Toddler throwing a tantrum because I cut his pb&j. Do I make a new one or stick to my guns?

    @mamabdog Ugh. We put them in a low drawer so he could get stuff himself (which for the most part is helpful especially since I’m 34 weeks pregnant now). But we also struggle with him finding a dirty cup from earlier, and sometimes he sees clean ones in the dish rack. And I consistently do...

    Toddler throwing a tantrum because I cut his pb&j. Do I make a new one or stick to my guns?

    @tiffanycox Oh wise one, what do I say when the tantrum is over using the wrong cup for a smoothie? Seems the simple solution is to just pour into the correct cup, but sometimes that’s still not right and I’m not washing 3 cups and don’t love the idea of giving in either. I’ve been letting him...

    K’tan active vs Konny air mesh

    @auntym Ah thanks for sharing! I’m leaning towards that one because I prefer the back to the two loops that can get twisted. Is the fabric soft?

    K’tan active vs Konny air mesh

    @pitcharan He’s 12 lbs but the baby k’tan and konny are rated for much higher. We also have a happy baby carrier I loved with my first but since baby is still so tiny I prefer the more stretchy comfy ones

    K’tan active vs Konny air mesh

    I have both of the originals of these- the baby k’tan and the konny flex (adjustable). I’m not sure which I like more. The k’tan has nice fabric but it’s thicker. The konny doesn’t get tangled and can be cinched so it’s easier but maybe not as comfortable? Anyways, we’re in the sierras for the...

    Cotton pajamas for 12mo old?

    @stallions Ah, it’s probably a difference in build. I have a tall little guy so we buy 2T (he’s 14 months) and they’re loose but the right height.

    Need advice on finalizing my registry

    @2withjesus My coworker gave me her mamaroo and while my son didn’t hate it or anything, we pretty much never used it. I think a good bouncer is more useful 🤷🏼‍♀️ but out of everything we bought, I’m glad we didn’t buy the mamaroo.

    Vista, Should I Keep It?

    @cln Yep! Honestly he’s too big even for the regular 50 lb limit seat. Just a struggle with big kids I guess. We haven’t had any instances where he refuses to walk but we also aren’t doing crazy long walking days. But he’s also nuts. We’ve had plenty of days where he’ll do 3 miles of hiking...

    Vista, Should I Keep It?

    @grace_given17 Definitely. I’d agree that it’s not a great double stroller because I’d assume most kids don’t want to be in a stroller at 3ish even if they do fit… We did a 2 year exactly year gap and even with that small gap we didn’t get to use it as a double. I was nervous about the basket...

    Vista, Should I Keep It?

    @kjs000 I agree. My first is HUGE. 99 percentile, he was fitting in 4T comfortably at 2 years. Was 33 lbs at he’s 2 year check up. And at 2 years he pretty much refused to use the stroller anymore. We have the vista and I bought the second seat while pregnant and we’ve literally never used it… I...
