@neverbeenalone I put a very tall baby gate on the nursery and completely childproofed the room. The room is a crib.

@neverbeenalone The only reason I can think of to delay is optics, those not following the science may have doubts about the safety if 2-4 year olds are skipped.

@cindyfernandez I like the mindset of choosing “dice rolls.” We also do curbside pickup for groceries. I can’t imagine using a dice roll to go do grocery shopping myself. Early in the pandemic I found a store that has their curbside pricing the same as in-store. We got over the hump of...

I have been searching for this occasionally for months. I think I’ve finally found the answer. Backstory: Alva Baby uses weird snaps. Size 20 KAM snaps don’t stay snapped well. It is super annoying when trying to repair a diaper, make extenders, or make elastics to convert to pull-ups. Clue...

@bernard222 Also on Yaz. Got on it for my horrible periods. Also have little to no period. I've went off it twice, once because I had another undiagnosed medical issue and wanted to be completely sure it wasn't the Yaz (it wasn't), then later because I had no health insurance. Both times the...

@motherof7 That’s a silver lining I hadn’t thought of. After New Year’s people tend to be a bit tired of holidays for a while and socialization slows down until Valentine’s Day. So perhaps that will feed into a shorter wave.

@eileenoal A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.

@ajewelinhiscrown Have you started taking a Vitamin D supplement? I get low in that and have to take 5,000 IU on top of a multivitamin. When I don’t make it a priority I get tired and it gives me brain fog in a way that sleep cannot fix.

@joyful0128 I found pockets to be more ‘work’ than I wanted with my older kid. Now I do AIOs (Thirsties Natural)… I put them in the washer, turn it on a second time, then put them in the dryer. It’s not maximizing being eco-friendly, but I’m not filling up a landfill with boxes and boxes of...

@atreides82 There is a difference between being potty trained and being potty trained so well that I am prepared to send a kid swimming without a swim diaper. Grandma’s expectation is unreasonable.

@paleohuguenot It was uploaded by BuyBuyBaby, but it’s an advertisement by Fisher Price. I remember seeing these on TV. Back when YouTube was new and ad free most websites used it to host their videos. Nowadays BuyBuyBaby hosts things on their own server, but most of the old product videos are...

@preng This! I found out I have a chronic illness. I thought I was a lazy piece of shit. I tried to push through the fatigue and thus let it get really, really bad before I saw a doctor.

@lookintochat When it was first made it was considered safe because baby was on their back, the angle wasn’t a necessary consideration to pass regulations as a bassinet for overnight sleep.

@alisonhansford If it’s the district, they likely can’t kick the kid out for biting as it’s the child’s legal right to be educated. However, that doesn’t mean they should leave the child in a classroom where they are endangering others. It should trigger an IEP and accommodations.

@lookintochat Supervised sleep in one of these is… watching for baby’s lips to turn blue. 😔 It won’t prevent positional asphyxiation when a baby is sleeping at a too-upright angle. If baby can’t breathe it’s silent, not apparent until baby begins turning blue.

@nebraskaluke You could just strap it to a furniture dolly with a come along strap. Wouldn't look too rigged if you painted the dolly and found a strap that matches the dishwasher color.

@lookintochat That’s exactly how it was intended and advertised to be used.

@ohiogators Same. I was told I’d never use the changing table. We love it so much that we quickly found we would cross the house to use it. He is 14 months now and we had a period where he was fighting changes, but it was worse on the floor. It was impossible to roll him to his back for even a...

@choosehappiness My friend found herself as admin of the local mommy FB group, it was overrun by spam and the person who had it didn’t want to do it anymore. First change was renaming it from “Moms” to “Parents”.

@kevt This! My 3yo rolled out of his very low bed and smacked his chin on the bed frame. Needed stitches.
