    I’ve had a fever every day for 8 days and I’m so pissed off.

    @gina Yes.. but sometimes it’s not something you can hear yourself. Doctor should be able to hear it by listening to your lungs. In my case, the doctor heard it but x-ray didn’t show it, whereas the CT scan did (both lungs affected).

    I don’t have a mom or a lot of family. Give me some motherly advice and tips about my first born

    @madscribbler My advice based on what has helped me personally feel like a better parent to my toddler is to read / listen to great parenting books and podcasts. I highly recommend: No Bad Kids, by Janet Lansbury How to Talk so Little Kids Will Listen, by Joanna Farber & Julie King Raising...

    @gina Have you been checked for pneumonia? That can manifest as a long term fever…

    Anyone else walk into a big box store and feel like they’re the only ones awake in some sort of toxic capitalist matrix?

    @doubra I prefer stores with a more limited selection because I also feel overwhelmed and frustrated in big stores. The majority of our consumables come from Aldi, Trader Joe’s, and the local organic store, with occasional things from Wegmans and online retailers. Even Wegmans feels too big for...

    How long to give probiotics to baby after C-section?

    @lauri73 I don’t think you needed to give probiotics to baby after your c-section since you nursed. That said, I’d personally avoid giving them long term. Too much of a good thing may not be good! I also had an unintended c-sec but didn’t worry about my girl’s microbiome since I breastfed...

    Landlord fertilized the lawn. When is it safe for my 1 y/o to play in the yard again?

    A reminder about our rules on asking for medical advice

    @wypimom2 I think that this is too much moderation. I think a tagging system labelling the post as X would be a better option. Sometimes people just need to ask a question and vent in a space that shares some of their values. Even if the question appears to be “asking for medical advice” there’s...

    FTM — All my baby hand-me-downs clothes reek of toxic detergent and I can’t wash the smell out

    @ch3apshad3s There’s no real way to get the scent out of them by washing in my experience. The only thing that will work is putting them out in the sun, possibly for a whole month. I did this to several items and it worked. Nothing else did. I also had piles of beautiful hand-me-downs given to...

    Recommendations for places that sell affordable baby clothes with natural fibers/somewhat sustainable?

    @kennethe62 You’ll need long sleeve pants because of air conditioning probably and because newborns don’t maintain heat as well. An important consideration for amount of clothing is how often you think you’ll do laundry. I forgot to add. These cloth wipes are super versatile and useful. I...

    Recommendations for places that sell affordable baby clothes with natural fibers/somewhat sustainable?

    @kennethe62 I thought I wanted second hand clothes for my girl and I got a lot of them in really nice condition… but then reality hit… majority of them were washed in scented detergent that could not be washed out. I tried. I wasted so many hours of my life trying to salvage them before I gave...

    @therosary9 Burt’s Bees aren’t big at all…. The pjs have long leg and arm parts but they are narrow. My ~80% (height/weight) girl outgrew their 18m pjs by 6 months.
