@ava1453 I do a load every day, and an extra load of sheets and towels on weekends. I start the washer while they’re eating breakfast. Swap it to the dryer hopefully before naptime. Fold and put away everything but the kids clothes during naps. Kids clothes get put away when my husband gets home...

@madscribbler Some of the aspirators have a tip that is for helping newborns clear mucous out of the back of their mouth, not the throat exactly. Sometimes babies cough up some phlegm when they’re sick, and can’t figure out how to spit it out.

@madscribbler Whatever works for you and baby is what is best. Apply that logic to everything (obvious safety issues like car seat use and medical care aside). Within my circle of close mom friends, we have a huge range of parenting choices. I know kids who sleep 11pm-10am and kids who sleep...

@dennyissmith Aveeno makes a line of baby products for eczema. They all contain colloidal oatmeal which is very soothing. We use the eczema lotion in a tube (someone else suggested the one in a tub, they have same colloidal oatmeal content percentage but the tub also has mineral oil I believe)...

@mikeytosh Check Facebook and see if there are any local mom groups. My town has several, and one is specifically for in-person meetups based on the kiddos ages. They have a weekly coffee club for potatoes (non-mobile infants), crawlers, toddlers, preschoolers, and big kids. They also do monthly...

@akdamar We don't have a formal system in place, but generally we aim to ensure each parent has equal downtime. I try to tidy as I go all day, so there's not a huge back up of dishes and clutter by dinner time. I have an hour and a half in the afternoon where the kids nap, and I get the kitchen...

@nowforever Cancelling isn’t technically hard but they don’t make it obvious. IIRC you need to use the chat function and it takes about two minutes. We used and loved it for year, however we cancelled last year because pricing and product quality was no longer worth it. We used it primarily...
