    What do you tell your pediatrician about sleep?

    @shalomhandiworkgifts A lot of pediatricians will blow this research off because it’s so old. He hasn’t done anything new in a while.

    Hell is when your baby is peacefully asleep next to you but you’re wide awake because your husband is snoring

    @confusedbuthopeful I kicked my husband out of our bed 3 kids ago.

    Do you tell your pediatrician you’re bedsharing ?

    @person47 Fwiw I have a neighbor friend who bedshares and she tells them so outright and nothing has come of it. I’m in PA, I saw a previous commenter say they’ll report you to cps but I’m not sure that’s entirely true.

    Expenses for 4 v 5 kids?

    @ambereyes12 Experience. Husband is 1 of 6 kids. We have 4 right now. It will be an issue when they get older though? The food bill does change when you have one more child. How weird to try and reason that it doesn’t….Im confused about that. It’s still one more mouth to feed. If you are...

    Do you tell your pediatrician you’re bedsharing ?

    @person47 Absolutely fucking not. It’s not their business and I don’t want to be lectured.

    Expenses for 4 v 5 kids?

    @revmike10 Can’t really agree with that in terms of adding another child to the family.

    High Blood Lead Level - Capillary Test

    @jesusisking1 I mean. This means there’s heavy amounts of lead dust where your baby is walking. I wouldn’t say it was unnecessary. Now you know you need to be very vigilant about vacuuming removing shoes outside before coming in washing hands and wet mopping and wiping daily.

    Age gap between #2 and #3?

    @jojoz 13 months and it was brutal and unfair to the children we already had to be honest. The most ideal age gap is at least over 2 years. 3 years was my favorite gap.

    Expenses for 4 v 5 kids?

    @ambereyes12 If you’re already stressed about finances having to pay for ivf for a 5th baby is just irresponsible. Sorry to be so harsh but that’s the truth. It takes away from what your living children could have. You need to be sure you can fully fund your retirement and not have to depend...

    Co sleeping isn’t working. Nothing is working

    @chenml60 Try a craniosacral therapist if you haven’t yet. It’s worth a shot.

    Co sleeping isn’t working. Nothing is working

    @chenml60 Is he on reflux meds? Have you tried putting him on a slight incline? I’m trying to think of other things. Have you tried craniosacral therapy? Probiotics? It seems he’s only sleeping this way from tummy pain/discomfort. Is there any other formula option? Have you considered HiPP...

    Husband wants to stop cosleeping and let baby CIO

    @ufekevom This is always interesting to me when a grown man with a fully developed frontal lobe wants his literal infant to be independently sleeping so he can sleep next to his wife. The dissonance is astounding. I’d just flat out say no. You can roll away from baby after she’s asleep for...

    Co sleeping isn’t working. Nothing is working

    @chenml60 Try changing his formula, try all the types you can. You might need hypoallergenic formula Additionally. Your baby is only 11 weeks old. This is unfortunately normal, you don’t want babies this young to deeply sleep. It’s protective against SIDS to have a lightly sleeping baby.

    Nora’s Nursery PUL going after 1.5 years - probably my fault but I’m SO frustrated! How long should a PUL cover last?

    @envisiondavid That’s what I have now! Just some pul covers and wool covers, so I just airdry the pul covers. Then I can wash my fabric diapers as hot as I want without worrying!! I do love the cute prints of the pockets though and they definitely are worth the money if they last over a year in...

    Nora’s Nursery PUL going after 1.5 years - probably my fault but I’m SO frustrated! How long should a PUL cover last?

    @envisiondavid Mine did last about this time frame. I really believe they need to be washed that hot for them to not be gross. I used Nora’s nursery, Alva baby’s and LPO and they all took a crap eventually but personally for the price point I was ok with it! I still felt like it saved me some...

    Morning routine inspiration

    @blessingsbe I find that when you cut screens out almost entirely they just stop doing that stuff. I have kids the same age, literally almost exact. 2 year old 3.5 year old and 6 year old. They really do just play. They get along when they get used to having to get along.

    Morning routine inspiration

    @blessingsbe I have never let any of my kids watch tv that early. It disrupts their mood for the day usually. Definitely no iPad either. They go outside in the morning. They just play. Maybe by 4 pm they’ll watch a nature show. I make my coffee and take it outside on to the patio and hold the...

    How can you afford it?

    @mightyrose How? I have four kids and I stay at home. I know numerous other stay at home mothers too.

    Baby #4??

    @kaleandcoffee I just had my fourth 8 ish weeks ago. No different than having three, it was the easiest transition for us. Follow your heart (and your wallet 😂) when you think about adding more to your family.
