    Annoying comments about my son being small

    @pentie2003 Oh dang! Well that’s normal. Mine is 60th for height and maybe 20th for weight? Eats everything just moves around nonstop. Started walking at 8 months running at 9, so I think it’s just impossible to get calories up that high with the kind of food we eat. Also born at 8 pounds to a...

    Annoying comments about my son being small

    @pentie2003 That’s weird. My kid is super small and nobody has ever mentioned it unless I bring it up first. Mines average height and very low weight but also with a Very small head and face compared to a normal toddler. Every other kid looks like a fat bobblehead to me and I have one that looks...

    Pregnancy pillows are overrated

    @hoop I had one with my first pregnancy. Will not do it again, just takes up too much room. Plus now I have a 2 year old in my bed and I wouldn’t be able to snuggle him if that behemoth were still in there. I did get a little between the leg pillow and that has helped.

    Doctors think my 1 year old has type 2 herpes. I’m at a loss

    @hakoa My kid has had fungal and bacterial diaper rashes that had blisters. Like a ring of horrible blisters around his butthole. I’m not a doctor but I’m pretty sure you can’t just tell the origin of the virus/bacteria/fungus just from looking. So I would be really interested to see what the...

    6.5 month old still wakes 3-4 times to eat

    @chariskay My doctor said this too! I am on my second 10th percentile baby. I’m not even training him until he’s double birthweight. I can’t remember exactly with my first but I think he was like 9-10 months at least before he didn’t wake up. It was whenever he was basically off milk...

    My daughter (4) washed my back

    @donkeyhead I love this. My son is a little over 2.5 and he loves washing my hair if we are in the tub (there’s a shower hose attachment thing in a big soaking tub, he loves it) and it’s my favorite thing ever but is going to get so weird so fast the older he gets. So I treasure every hair...

    Cleaning toys

    @doomedhyclic The only time I cleaned toys for my first baby was when he was at the stage when he was still putting everything in his mouth, and some older babies/toddlers we knew came over and touched everything. Now he’s almost 3 and I don’t clean things unless there is like food on them. Or...

    do you tell your pediatrician?

    @elainecrawford Same. We talked about our set up and she was very supportive.

    What can you get done while baby wearing?

    @brewster1118 I’ve worn 2 kids and I can do basically anything except dishes— there’s something about the height of the dishwasher. Same goes for front loading washing machines and the dryer. It just wakes them up. But anything else they sleep through. Folding, wiping surfaces, cooking. So I...

    What are babies like at 5-6 months

    @thomasleonard Both of mine were crawling then, and were really starting to show their personalities. 4 naps a day, sometimes 5. They were more interested in looking at things out in the world. I could set them in the cart at the grocery store I started to have like half hour blocks where they...

    Co sleep with 2 year old and newly pregnant. I’m terrified for the future

    @riverthorn When my new baby came we moved our toddler to a full size bed in his own room and my husband slept in there w him. Now he’s older and can sleep on his own in there. But on rare occasions like when dad is on a business trip now both my kids can sleep in my bed with me which is very...

    Baby just hates everything

    @breatly Depends on where you live and what your doctor is into. My second baby made us figure out what was probably wrong with both of them- we tried a pepcid like prescription and it didn’t work, now he is on a proton pump inhibitor and it’s super hard to find and very expensive but it was...

    Baby just hates everything

    @breatly I had one like this. He was miserable. Barely slept. Cried all day every day for 6 months. Once I stopped trying to do everything right my mental health was much better. He grew out of it eventually and is completely happy as a toddler. Both of mine had reflux so that’s something to...

    Egg allergy that gets worse before it gets better?

    @wrb Yes. Unless is like anaphylactic I think they tell you to do the egg ladder. OP sorry you are dealing with this. One of my kids had a big reaction to scrambled at 5 months old, we then did a year of baked. We went in and tried to do the allergy challenge but my kid was so defiant I...

    29 weeks and baby measuring 3 lb 9.5 oz. I'm terrified

    @asdf415 As others have said after a certain point ( and certainly at the stage you are now) measurements are really just guesses. The measurements are usually accurate within like 3 pounds. That range is huge. My last baby they wouldn't even venture to guess, he was over 8 pounds and...

    Should I wait for the updated covid vaccine for my 8 month old?

    @truebornagain I have heard it’s better to wait but I have a 7 month old that has just gotten one dose of the old one. My other kid goes to daycare so it’s just a matter of time before we all get it again. I figure he can get the better one later. But I’m the kind of person that wants every...

    I missing cooking dinner wholeheartedly

    @wren84 At my house we trade, whoever wants to cook the other one keeps the kids in the living room for however long it takes the other person to finish cooking.
