    is introducing a pacifier at all a good idea?

    @sh419ob So with a lot of these more low stakes parenting decisions it’s hard to know without a crystal ball. I put off paci intro because it took us a long time to establish breastfeeding. My baby used it a little but was never wild about it and he probably lost interest before one. He...

    Anyone on here who’s partner isn’t an abusive a-hole?

    @vigilantrogue I’m sitting on the couch holding my sleeping baby while my husband does dishes and listens to his podcast. He is an amazing husband and dad and does more than his fair share. There’s a lot of shit men out there! I married a good one and hope to raise one too

    Gentle C Section

    @pringles24 Hey, I’m sorry your friend had that experience. The OR staff were chatting throughout my surgery but it didn’t make me uncomfortable - it actually set my (normally anxious leaning) husband at ease as well because he realized how routine this was for everyone. I will admit to being...

    How to support a gifted child?

    @aegisheart IMO the way to “fuck it up” is to make it A Thing. What a lot of gifted kids want is to be allowed to be kids and not treated like they are responsible for curing cancer one day. Treat him like he’s a three year old, a sensitive three year old. Which he is. Don’t expect him to have...

    Gentle C Section

    @pringles24 What is a c section horror story? I had a planned c section and while I would have been down for a clear drape, it was a definite no-go for my husband who would have probably passed out. I think delayed cord clamping is the default now? I didn’t do immediate skin to skin (honestly I...

    Potential to work part-time instead of full-time

    @patrickdenton How much do you love your job and how amenable is your profession to longer breaks? In my dream world I could SAHM for like 5 years AND re-enter my profession with no issues and magically not be rusty at all. 😅 Anyway that’s not possible in my case so I went down to VERY part...

    Daycare is NOT associated with behavior problems in 10,000+ children across 5 countries

    @damacri A lot of people seem to interpret the article that way but I think that suggests an emotional read which jumps to conclusions to be frank. The article specifically says there is no research suggesting that there is any reason for mothers to be the one caring for the child over, say...

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

    @jsch Oh interesting! I wonder does that have anything to do with choosing more favourable cases and not attempting with less favourable ones? My understanding is that it’s typically around 50% as mentioned below. Or maybe there’s some new technique or something?

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

    @cathyhlikesflowers Success rates of ecv is quite low, I think it’s about a coin flip. Even if you do end up getting the okay to one I would recommend getting comfortable with the possibility of a cesarean and challenging some ideas you MAY have about birth method. A cesarean absolutely can be a...

    In case anyone needs it: this is the official permission post for parents living in places with sub-freezing weather to relax on screen time and food

    @1daysoon Hi yes I have gone out in that weather. That’s not the point I’m getting at. My response wasn’t meant to be about any specific person’s decision to go out any any specific temperature! No one needs my (or anyone’s) approval to stay in.

    In case anyone needs it: this is the official permission post for parents living in places with sub-freezing weather to relax on screen time and food

    @carolny I had to google but it’s 3F here and feels like -15 so in the same neighborhood but yes a bit warmer! We went on a short walk, nothing crazy. But it was nice to get outside and have a bit of fresh air. That’s all!

    In case anyone needs it: this is the official permission post for parents living in places with sub-freezing weather to relax on screen time and food

    @1daysoon Apparently/ I’m so-and-so 😅 Canadian here and I actually love getting out in the cold (while dressed warmly) and I hate to see people say they are “trapped” inside or that they “can’t leave their house” when it’s cold. If you are feeling stir crazy I want to assure you that you can go...

    @strange1 Butts are also not shaped like boxes? I’m so confused

    Glass bottles keep cracking

    @pokerfaceblonde Yeah every baby is different. Mine took a cold bottle and then immediately puked the whole thing (only time he ever spit up like that).
