@greyareagcu In the UK and Australia at least it’s because they are not intended for everyday use, so the wear and tear that everyday use would entail is not planned for in their design. So it’s the potential wear and tear that would make them unsafe. So I wouldn’t worry much if you’re very...

@janoue I think this is a recent change, and the idea is that they’re unsafe for unsupervised sleep but fine for supervised sleep. https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/infant-care/playpens.html

@greyareagcu Weirdly it depends on the country. They’re rated for safe sleep in the US, but not in Canada, and in the UK or Australia they’re only recommended for occasional use, not every day use.

@livinggrace Haha, my husband was actually in the navy and also wore his blood type on his dog tags around his neck for a year… and still remembered wrong!! So I can’t blame them for that policy. 😂

@lauratoday We just rinse our potty with water for pee and give it a quick scrub it with dish soap and hot water for poop. (We have a retired dishwashing brush that is now relegated to potty-only use). I figure if hot water and dish soap is good enough for a plate that had raw chicken on it...

@emilyosu My husband also remembered his blood type wrong haha. He told me he’s O-, but he definitely isn’t because I’m A- and our baby is rh-positive according to the blood work they do to check if I need rhogam or not, haha. (They don’t type the fetus/baby for ABO here, only Rh factor.) So now...

@ironicall Must have been terrifying, I’m glad you’re ok! Your medical team will definitely take extra precautions to make sure that if it happens again, that it won’t go unnoticed. They also for example made sure I had two lines in as soon as I came in to give birth. You could ask what their...

@ironicall I was also told there was an increased risk, but no it didn’t happen! With me the entire thing was retained, like it wouldn’t come out at all 🙃 so they removed it manually about 2 hours after I gave birth. Luckily I had an epidural so I could tolerate them just doing it by hand and...

@daphne1 I had different issues than you with my first birth (2 weeks overdue, needed pitocin after 30+ hours with no progression, retained placenta and postpartum hemorrhage) but literally none of those things happened in my second birth. It still took forever, but 30 hours seemed short...

@penaia He was quite high sleep needs, so he couldn’t handle a full day without a nap until he was 3.5. And we had to move his bedtime earlier by an hour when he did drop it! 😂 My second will drop her nap much earlier, I can already tell, she was down to one nap much earlier than her older...

@opinionsareopinions Very few people sleep train here in Scandinavia, plus feeding to sleep is totally normal here, as is bed sharing. And yet, our kids learn how to sleep too! The common wisdom is their night time sleep improves massively when they stop napping during the day, and we definitely...

@falan So close!! For now I would roll her back to the other side after you finish feeding her - I found that if I kept baby tummy to tummy with me and rolled with her and then sort of jiggled and did some bum pats after, she didn’t wake up. 😊

@falan How old is your baby? If I remember correctly baby can sleep between you from 4 months old, so long as your partner is following the rules (sober etc) and knows the baby will be next to him for some portions of the night, it’s fine to switch sides. I have to because my boobs are too small...

@whiteybeefcake I would second this recommendation. My first was also incredibly hard to feed, could not breastfeed, would only accept one specific bottle, preferred his pacifier to eating, mild feeding aversion, would only eat while sleeping at some points… and he LOVED solids. We started him...

@galatians220lyric I don’t let my babies cry alone if I can help it either. I think you should have a conversation about this with your husband to try to help him understand your perspective. Why is it a good thing in your husband’s mind to let the baby cry? What is it accomplishing? I would...

@live4christ2016 This is what we went with - worked great!
