@crash1 We used the Pack n Play bassinet attachment for my son’s naps when he was a newborn. I agree its mattress is soft. My assumption was that it’s okay because he wasn’t even close to rolling while he could fit in it and that the firmer mattress becomes necessary to protect their ability to...

@misha100 I had a c-section with my first and probably will with my second, too. (I produce big babies.) It was technically elective, in that I wasn’t in an emergency when we made the decision, but both the OB and MFM recommended it, and I wasn’t keen to try vaginal birth. (My biggest concern...

@stonze “Legally, your employers cannot force you to post professional content on your personal social media accounts.” I highly doubt that that’s true. But I haven’t gone through each state’s laws to figure it out. And I’ll eat my hat if Roxane Gay did.

@sglemom I’m sorry! What a cruel way to talk to someone else, let alone a patient you’re supposed to be helping. My first kiddo was huge but I passed the GD test. My MFM is having me do two GD tests for my second pregnancy just in case, and I passed the first one with flying colors. We’ve...

@jeremypar I used a Clear Blue Ovulation monitor with first-thing-in-the-morning urine, which got me pregnant twice.

@bforeman I definitely want a medal for BF—shit is hard! No need to post or see pics of it, though.

@tcr You aren’t a bad mom, whichever way you end up feeding your child. Triple feeding is exhausting. It takes a while for your milk to come in, and it sounds like yours is in and just taking a bit to be enough for your kiddo. Pediatricians are anxious about getting kids back to their birth...

@katrina2017 Right. Take the promotion so you have the better title and start shopping your resume around ASAP.

@docmrm Another option is a car seat backpack. We have a lightweight car seat that we use just for travel, and then we pop it into a backpack for walking through the airport. It’s still bulky but manageable!

@purple207 My OB’s main rule is to listen to my body. For my first pregnancy, that meant lowering weights in the third trimester because I was just more tired than normal. Now that I’m in my second pregnancy, we’ll see! Still lifting heavy at 20 weeks. (Her other rule was no laying flat on my...

@robo23 I used a Kindred Bravely sports bra. It was fine. Not as supportive as my regular sports bras but much better than my other nursing/pumping bras, and the racerback was great.

@iamcliff For what it’s worth, we love our Baby Jogger City Turn. The rotation is great, fabric excellent, and I wouldn’t use the smart chest clip anyway. Kiddo is super happy with it, too.

@chrisss7 We check one big bag for the three of us and then have personal items on the plane. (We buy a seat for the baby and take the car seat on the plane, so he gets carry ons too.) We do have to disassemble the stroller at TSA, but it’s honestly not bad. Counterchecking might be fine too; my...

@churchface You’re taking your life (at least, your Reddit karma) into your own hands by posting about Emily Oster here! So many on here hate her. I don’t get it—I don’t take anyone’s advice verbatim, and I treat her suggestions as just that and then supplement with my own research. I think...

@chrisss7 We love our Vista. Yes, it’s big, but it’s so comfortable for the baby and sturdy. We’ve flown with it a few times (we gate check it in the expensive Vista travel bag that guarantees replacement if anything happens to it), and it’s been just lovely all around. If we traveled all the...
