@brandon_d he was 40th at his 2 week appointment and 95th by 2 months. if he hadn't gotten back to birth weight at 2 weeks i would have continued pumping for his sake but since he did i threw that out the window lol

@brandon_d Man, fuck pumping. I had all these lofty dreams about being a milk donor before delivering my baby and now that he’s 3 months old I’ve pumped a total of less than 10 oz because it’s boring and horrible. It hasn’t impacted my milk supply, baby boy was born in the 40th percentile...

@vanerahelson 2 weeks postpartum. Baby is exclusively breastfed so I do ALL feeds. I have 5x the sleep quality and 20x the energy that I did my last month of gestation. Plus I get precious newborn snuggles.

@godsson1988 Yeah hats and rash guards are where it’s at for sure.

@godsson1988 I don’t think theres any regulation on reporting the size of the oxide particulates in sunscreen so there’s no way to know unless they voluntarily publish it unfortunately. The nanoscale size might not be a huge deal - even at that small size it’s still pretty hard to penetrate the...

@ozark63 affordable: baby bum mineral 50. Bonus benefit is they avoid nanoscale Titania/zirconia. ~$5/oz Cosmetically elegant/no white cast: ulta MD uv elements or uv restore. ~$20+/oz

@plains Yeah, oxybenzene prevents uv damage in plastic so it’s used in a lot of food storage which is then absorbed by the food, among other introduction pathways. We’re going to have huge retrospective studies in the next few decades. Definitely recommend glass storage at home at least :(

@godsson1988 Did some research on sunscreen during my materials engineering PhD. Personal opinion for me is only oxides before puberty (zirconia and titania), avoiding octinoxate and oxybenzone until after puberty. And never spray sunscreens due to inhalation. That’s probably erring very far on...

@chocolatesquare Did she want you to hand write them??? NO. I do handwritten thank you cards and folks seem surprised by them these days.

@jerib My MIL also wanted me to call everybody for big announcements (engagement, wedding, pregnancy) and I've turned her down every time. I think it's generational. We just send out 3 emails for every announcement: 1 CC email to my family, 1 CC email to spouse's family, and 1 BCC email to...

@frjonah yeah I never did wraps because they look annoying AF. apron-style carriers are belted like an apron and then you slip the baby in. I did a ton of research on carriers for both baby comfort as well as preventing hip dysplasia in the baby and feel really confident I made the right...

@testallthings My husband is 6'3 and uses both carriers we bought. When you baby wear, the baby should be high enough that you are able to kiss the top of their head without straining. He belts the carrier right below his pec muscles in order to ensure proper height.

@testallthings This might not be an acceptable solution for you but have you tried baby wearing? I have a soft apron-style carrier that my baby conks out hard in. I get 2 hands to do whatever I want.

@mercy7able “Parent braids hair despite lifelong, crippling lack of uterus”

@melista I die on the inside whenever a dad parenting hits the front page of Reddit. The standards are so low. They’re never going above and beyond - they’re just… parenting. And everybody jumps on their dick about it.
