    Freezer Stash & MIL

    @katrina2017 If she is like my MIL, she put it all in bottles but threw it out when baby didnt finish the bottle. OP, are you freezing the amount you want fed in one feeding in a single bag? Or are you filling the bag to full and then freezing? For me, I stopped putting more than 3.5 oz in a...

    Sibling gender (biological sex at birth)?

    @al106 My great-great grandmother had 18 live births - only 11 survived to adulthood. My grandfather was the second to last. She started having kids at 18. She had her last at like 45. My great grandfather had nieces and nephews who were years older than him. There were no multiples. I just...

    My ancestors had 9 and 11 kids starting in their 30s

    @mercmorris28 My great-great grandmother had 18 children that survived infancy, starting at age 20, finishing up around 45. I'm sure there were miscarriages, and I know a couple of their children died in infancy or early childhood, making the number of pregnancies and births both higher. My...

    Recommendations for places that sell affordable baby clothes with natural fibers/somewhat sustainable?

    Daycare swaddled my 9.5 mo for naps

    @mum2017 There is NO scenario when it's appropriate to swaddle a 9 month old. If a 9 month is not rolling, it's a pretty severe developmental delay. Swaddling in a daycare setting isn't even legal in many, if not most, states.

    Daycare swaddled my 9.5 mo for naps

    @jwilliams190800 They basically intentionally restrained your mobile baby. Please speak with the director and consider reporting it to your states licensing board. Do not accept anything less than that teacher taking training on safe sleep. No one needs to be fired or shut down, this is just a...

    Judge my Prenatal Viamin Regime! or Steal some ideas!

    @jasonvr Get a blood test to confirm. I'm a 20+ year vegan who gets plenty of iron from my diet - lots of things have iron (eg any dark green vegetables), not just "protein".
