    Starting a co-sleeping tradition - once a week

    @rengb121 I think it’d be fine especially if you link if with some other ritual (pizza night or movie night for example). I’d do a weekend to enjoy the morning sleep-in snuggles :) As a kid we were allowed to come snuggle with my parents in the mornings like 6AM or later and they are some of...

    those who don’t live near family: how do you spend your vacations?

    @1stjohn0666 Three 1-week vacations a year - at least 1 week can be just your nuclear family!

    No Screens Possible for Short Flight with 13 month old?

    @lostinthepast Definitely. We are up to 18 months and have done many flights 2-7 hours long and never used screens. We don’t bring a carseat and bring books, toys, etc. Breastfeeding is her favorite plane activity though.

    My bf broke my heart last night… gutted this NYE

    @jezza I’m so sorry mama. Wear that baby in a carrier. Get one of those big steel luggage carts at the airport. Check everything you can - just carry on baby in the carrier and a diaper bag. Hopefully BF will drop you off there, and maybe even get your bags checked? If not, then an Uber. Get...

    F the cult-like following of certain carrier brands (Happy Baby)

    @obelex Us too! And OP too! There is a reason they are so popular.

    My 2.5 year old is a DICTATOR and it’s hurting our relationship

    @onlyjesus316 Don’t ask him: “Please this” or “please that.” It’s not a request. Tell him what YOU are going to do.

    Sibling gender (biological sex at birth)?

    @drita It would probably only make sense to count the “male” line though (kids of male cousins who are sons of brothers), at least for this x/y chromosome ratio in the sperm question. Separately I have read that some women have more acidic or basic vaginas that are more conducive to the...

    My baby won’t sleep and I’m at the end of my rope

    @pz128 Good luck!! The first night we did it was the first night she rolled onto her tummy to sleep, and I learned that she likes her back scratched harder than I would have expected and for lullabies to be sung slowly in a breathy whisper. I had become dependent on nursing her to sleep too! I...

    My baby won’t sleep and I’m at the end of my rope

    @pz128 Hey mama. It’s ok to refuse to nurse to sleep every 45 minutes for a 6 month old. We had some similar challenges (admittedly not quite as bad). Your baby can learn a new way and your instincts are right that it will include some crying. I would not go straight to crying alone in her crib...

    If I dislike the waistband of a SSC, will I dislike a half buckle?

    @rainy214 For back wearing, definitely. I believe you can wear it on the front with small young babies, but the baby’s head would not be supported like in a Solly wrap - you would need to put a hand on baby’s head if you lean forward as in many SSCs with smaller babies. Maybe others can chime in.

    If I dislike the waistband of a SSC, will I dislike a half buckle?

    @rainy214 If you don’t like a waistband, I would try a ring sling or onbuhimo.

    Anticipating the nauseous stage

    @tangdalun I only ever got nauseous if I let my blood sugar drop. Lots of little snacks and was able to work out pretty normally during first tri; second tri is when it started to change with abs getting distended and not able to be used as much (and getting winded more easily).

    Decreasing number of night feeds while cosleeping

    @southern_at_heart I totally get it! I do think some distance and letting her fuss for a few minutes is key (not cry hysterically mind you…but my baby “wakes” and makes moaning and fussing noises for a minute or two and then rolls over and goes back to sleep. It’s long enough that when she share...

    18 month old STILL won’t sleep and I’m at breaking point. Desperately seeking advice

    @brh1989 Can you share more about your experience? What did the first few nights of pick up, put down go like?

    Decreasing number of night feeds while cosleeping

    @southern_at_heart The most success I had while cosleeping was looking at my watch/phone and keeping her awake for a full feed (10m on each side, for us - 20m total) each time. I would jostle her and talk to her to keep her awake for the full 20 minutes. I found that when she would snack - have...

    What’s wrong with my routine

    @nsummer12 Changing her diaper seems weird to me. Why does she need this at midnight-2am? I wouldn't even do water unless she asked for it. Maybe time to drop the nap? It's early but not unheard of, yeah? I know it's rough but I would wake her up on time at 8am, and if you do let her nap...
