@jellofishxo I think if they meet the cutoff age and they are ready, then it's fine. People are making a big deal about redshirting boys, but the effects are small. The difference is when kids are very close to the cutoff and you push to send them early- that's not beneficial. For example my...

@priya12 Ours wakes around 6-6:15 and we leave by 7:30am. We get up, play for a bit, make coffee and breakfast, and are usually starting to eat by 6:30-6:45. She jumps between eat, play, wake up dad, until around 7:10-7:15 when we havebti get ready to go. At that point, we have a system. If we...

@dennisbon I personally think organized sports, mainly those newer club/travel leagues, are a scam. All these travel clubs etc are all just about the money. I've heard them described as the social life for parents. Your child is most likely NOT going to get a college scholarship for soccer. And...

@christiangirl94 We stopped tracking diapers around 4-6 weeks. We never tracked sleep. once baby was consistently on a good growth curve, which for us wasn't until closer to 8-10 weeks, we stopped tracking breastfeeding as well (we also switched to bottles and pumping around this time do it was...

@robinrocks The only other one that I have heard of us that your breast milk composition changes throughout the day to provide baby what they need. Ex would be higher water content in the morning, higher far content in the evening to stock up before bed. So unless you are timing your pumps and...

@nader1 Do you have a partner who would be willing to wake up with her for the first feed and provide a bottle of pumped milk or formula so that you can get a decent chunk of sleep? We had similar issues, though we were actually waking her up during that first waking because of poor growth...

@docmrm Honestly just so it. 3 hours is short enough to suffer through. Prepare for the worst and hope for the best. Always assume they will never sleep and you'll be pleasantly surprised if they do. Take a good baby carrier, get tons of stuff to occupy both and bring every snack you can think of

@rengb121 I would not do this. And here's why: My toddler was doing a great job with her hatch light. She'd stay in bed until it changed colors and stumble out. One morning recently she got up early and came to my bed. I was very tired and disoriented and didn't realize what time it was, so I...

@droidbebe Yes, ours is the same. But I always forget to do the rails first during set up and then the base, and on take down I always forget to get both sides to fold. Every time there's a good 30 second aid WTF is wrong with this until I remember I'm doing it wrong Haha.

@moemoes Maybe you have a crappy one? We have a Graco that had a very specific way to be set up and removed, but as long as you know the way it is actually really simple. If yours is giving you problems find a YouTube video of someone setting yours up to see if you are missing a step.

@1stjohn0666 Yeah that makes sense. But definitely ask if they are interested in baby sitting while you guys go out and do something fun!

@1stjohn0666 We're still working through this as well. We have one 3 year old and another on the way. We have ample PTO (5-6 weeks ish). Both families live in the same state but a good 6-10 hours drive away from us, depending on which one. We also have close family in California. Really most of...

@kievonn We have Picasso tiles and they have survived a year so far with no signs of wear. I can't even think of what a child would have to do to break them - she's definitely given them a good bang and toss here and there and they are fine.

@kievonn We haven't bought anything yet, but I've thought about it a bit. We are trying to move towards: something you want, something you need, something to wear, something to read. So for us it might be: Magnatiles (highly recommend if you don't already have them). Craft supplies (almost out...

@timmysfriend So, I'd first confirm that she doesn't have an ear infection. Then I'd check for any possible teeth. Ours got her first 4 all at the same time and it was a rough couple of weeks before we saw one poke through and had an explanation. Then if you haven't heard about the rumored 4...

@chocolatesquare A pack and play is going to be too small by around age 2. Plenty of kids start climbing out of cribs at 18 months -2 years, and pack and play are even easier to get out of However you could just put the daybed mattress on the floor until the child is old enough to use the bed...
