    Starting a co-sleeping tradition - once a week

    @pinoytvshows Well. That was an awful way to express your opinion.

    Starting a co-sleeping tradition - once a week

    @pinoytvshows That isn't that often. How many people let kids stay up late once a week to go out, or have kids sleep at a grandparents house once a week. Kids are adaptable. Is Friday night is family sleep night, then they figure that out and enjoy the special treat.

    Called 9-11 on daughter

    @jar1437 I would check to see if 988 is available in your area. It is for mental health crises, and, per my state website they "immediately provide phone-based support and connections to local resources. If needed, the counselor can: Activate a mobile mental health crisis team that will...

    Starting a co-sleeping tradition - once a week

    @pinoytvshows So literally abusing your child is, in your mind somehow, equivalent to offering them a special occasion to sleep and snuggle together every kind in awhile.

    When did you stop tracking everything for baby (e.g., nursing sessions, wet/soiled diapers, sleep duration, etc.)?

    @christiangirl94 Only tracked wet/soiled diapers until he was eating okay (around 2 1/2 weeks). Tracked nursing sessions/oz for 3 months, but only bc he went from not eating to wanting to eat constantly and we were trying to keep him around 4 oz every 3 hours (so around 32 oz/day, but he was...

    What to do when best is impossible (Emily Oster)

    @question Yes! But also, they didn't explicitly say cosleeping; they just mentioned the safe sleep 7, which is the 7 things La Leche League says is research based to make cosleeping safe. So it was easy to miss if you didn't catch the reference.

    What to do when best is impossible (Emily Oster)

    @question For cosleeping. Swaddles are dangerous if you cosleep because baby has less mobility.

    Should I get bloodwork done to find out the gender Y or N?

    @asupersquirrel We did it! Along with a full genetic panel, but it was also completely covered by our insurance. (We had already hit our deductible super early in the pregnancy.)

    Making sense of science in the messy world of every day parenting

    @daltonracer The suggestion for teachers (not that most of them follow this in my experience) is to make sure none of your parent communication is written above a 4th-5th grade level (so about the level of a 10 year old who is on track academically).

    What to do when best is impossible (Emily Oster)

    @krae991 Exactly. I didn't have to co-sleep with my first, bc his night sleep was pretty good. But I had read and gotten my room ready for the safe sleep 7 just in case after talking with some of my friends who swore that it saved them during the fourth trimester and made them safer parents...

    gestational diabetes while low carb--Is the test wrong if I don't carb-load for days before?

    @plope132 The safest approach would be to assume it was correct and also start testing your levels at home. My experiences are mostly with type 2 diabetes with my family members, but I've also had two friends who had GD. This is what my experience would suggest. Your diet sounds like it's...

    Notes on childcare, revisions

    @rockhopper72 Thanks for the info! I'm definitely not concerned about the language delay (partially bc my nephew also spoke late, and partially because he tested at or above average for every developmental area except language, and that's only because of the one subscore (expressive)). His...

    Notes on childcare, revisions

    @rockhopper72 I found the article well-researched and seemed to have a balanced take on assessing the sources cited. I would be interested in any research on

    Baby flipped to transverse at 39 weeks and now OB wants to schedule c-section without trying ECV

    @hopefulandfree There's actually a really awful article from a woman who got too sucked into the super far granola crazy side of the internet of free birthing/natural birth and she waited until 45 weeks and ended up having a stillbirth. The whole time she was getting encouragement online from...

    Any articles on car seat time limit safety? Husband wants to take 6 m y/o on 25 hour trrip

    @umaid We did multiple 5-12 hour car trips with our son between 11 months and 18 months. We got more successful each time. What it very much came down to was stopping every 90-150 minutes or so (except during naps, we just kept driving through naps) at a space with grass where little one could...

    @ellyflowers We really like our Ten Little shoes and they have sandals.
