    Birth by C-section more than doubles odds of measles vaccine failure. Should I test?

    @wiccankid That’s a good question. Plenty of vaginally born babies also “look like” they were born by c section. It’s rare to be born in the amniotic sac which makes it quite difficult to study, so we don’t really know. But having things like cervical exams during labor (the more the worse)...

    Birth by C-section more than doubles odds of measles vaccine failure. Should I test?

    @kaferty Full disclosure I did not read the study. So I am not commenting specifically on it. However, I did my PhD in infant gut microbiome field, and there are several researchers studying how the microbes in the infant gut affect vaccine response. This would be the hypothesis as to why being...

    It’s ok if your nursery isn’t finished or doesn’t exist

    @sofie 36 + 4 and nursery is not even close to done haha. But we had already decided that it just wasn’t going to happen before baby comes and that’s ok. My husband keeps injuring himself, in particular a sprained finger which while not serious, is one of those things that is easily set back to...

    Struggling with ST culture

    @riseup Yeah ok. I just read the second one and thought it sounded like you thought it was a bad activity in general. Sorry. I’m not very socially adept 🙃

    Struggling with ST culture

    @riseup I’m totally against ST but honestly as a mom of a newborn and a toddler sometimes I have to put him down. And at least now he is happy to look at high contrast pictures and such. I don’t think letting him do that for 10-20 minutes while I spend needed quality time with my toddler (right...

    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 Right there with you, and I don’t even live in the US. It’s not nearly as bad where I am, but still

    Hair tournequettes are a thing! Be aware!

    @tecumsehmaverick If calling 911 wasn’t appropriate they would not have sent someone. Glad everyone is ok!

    Anyone else following the Possums sleep approach?

    @elderdemetriuswilliams I’m having similar issues with my 5 month old - we live in Finland and it’s pretty cold right now. She needs constant entertainment but she loves the outside!

    How to dispose soft poop

    @phideltbeers If you can scrape it off when it dries a bit, do that first with toilet paper. Then if there’s a bunch of gunk still, I sloshed it all around d in a giant bucket right before the prewash (I found that spraying/washing right after taking it off just led to a dripping wet bag 🤮 The...

    Currently over here sleep-deprived and questioning every parenting decision I've made... Send help!

    @fatefulslave I need to remember this trick! I love how it doesn’t involve ignoring baby but it totally worked.

    Looking for new laundry detergent for sensitive skin and allergies?

    @ellenp It works quite well. I even wash cloth diapers with it. I usually boost with sodium per carbonate. The two together are good

    Maternity clothes

    @torn12 Dresses. Baggy linen dresses. And overalls because then you can’t tell that my shirts/sweaters are too short

    Looking for new laundry detergent for sensitive skin and allergies?

    @ellenp I loved ECOS! I moved to EU though and it’s not a thing here. I use Attitude now but it doesn’t have enzymes so I have to take lots of care with stain pretreatment. We have very soft water though which helps

    Hair tournequettes are a thing! Be aware!

    @romashka I’m sure it is, but it’s also an emergency situation. I would probably choose irrigators skin over an amputated toe or a severe cut trying to cut the hair off.

    When did you stop tracking everything for baby (e.g., nursing sessions, wet/soiled diapers, sleep duration, etc.)?

    @chuy I guess everyone is different because if I didn’t track there is no way i would remember when baby ate or slept last and it really helps me figure out what she wants!

    Bumbleride Era V Indie

    @lamplight The wheels on the Era are still really heavy duty. It’s not a jogging stroller but should off road fine. Personally the rear facing seat is super important to me so I would vote for the Era.
