@shamakwa Seriously, even the good kids are often assholes. It’s developmentally appropriate in a lot of ways

@davidspetri We were very reassured when getting an ultrasound, that I could feel nothing at all even though baby was absolutely moving and grooving! It can take a while, especially for a first pregnancy, and it depends a lot on mom's body and other mysterious factors. You can look into home...

@kcollins14 It's a bit the nuclear option but see if you can get samples of amino acid formula from your Dr. Ours got us 2 cases of Elecare. It's prescription only but also not covered by insurance and like $1-2 an OUNCE. which is disgusting, but it's super duper hypoallergenic. Moreso than the...

@kcollins14 One thing I haven't seen mentioned here is reflux - Does your LO spit up a lot during or after feeds? If she's starting to react to the milk/formula then she may be dealing with reflux pain and discomfort during the last half of the bottle, which could be why she's refusing. Some...

@robaya 1) we forgot until we woke up at 6 and my phone said 7 2) LO has been waking up an hour early for the past month so this is convenient 3) Even if I did remember, gradual adjustments have never made a difference in our house so we just roll with it

@snowmang Comotomo are terrrrrible for bf so it’s good you ditched them! The pigeon ones look good though! And Dr brown are highly recommended but goddamn they have so many pieces 😫

@snowmang Unsolicited advice so feel free to ignore! If you are still trying to direct nurse and/or just working on her bottle latch, we had great success switching to a wide-sloped nipple. I particularly liked the evenflo balance + bottles since they really encourage a nice wide latch and...

@christian99 People love to talk about vaginal breech births and how “the establishment” is against them so “just find someone else to do it” but in the US at least there are a lot of challenges in accessing prenatal care and many providers won’t take new patients so late in pregnancy, or simply...

@zastari Wow that must have been a surprise! My ob actually didn't do measurement ultrasounds at all! Apparently even doing the measurements is associated with more intervention and risk

@jesse123 Agreed! Plus they’ll have elastic which can trap poo and take a lot more agitation to fully clean

@iamthankful Yes! Closet purgatory is the answer

@kolinfarrel It may be against licensing regulations, if I were OP I’d check

@biblefollower Mad respect. You did everything you could and your body went through a LOT to deliver that baby, and you then did everything you could to care for your body and mind in recovery 💕 Here's hoping for a smooth and boring experience with baby # 2!

@isidore My 21 mo has been referring to himself as “it” Somehow… Like he’ll stand up on his stool and say “it’s so tall”

@jidavy If you can I’d bump it to at least 6 weeks in the beginning. That tends to be a turning point for a lot of babies

@george_sky_walker It’s also entirely contrary to harm reduction principles. It’s basically an “abstinence only” approach to… everything?

@hiddenknowledge Before the PS, I was going to say the most cost effective option is to go straight to a convertible - these work from birth to ~4+ years depending on the model BUT they are bulky and unwieldy. They are not designed to go in a stroller, nor are they meant to be taken in and out...

@jimfish Crazy how different lifestyles are - We use our stroller at least twice a day every day! (but only used the infant car seat with it 2x ever)

@lookx009 Hard agree. Evolution doesn't give a fuck if YOU or I survive childbirth so long as some people do. The 'we are made for this' argument is so backward and stupid. We evolved in a way that flies in the face of successful, easy childbirth. Standing upright + our giant brains means even...

@dotecoat I did such a double take at this! How shitty
