    Am I in the wrong?

    @swapnaamanna She doesn’t have to watch baby unsupervised to feel like a grandma. And her feelings are not the reason you should force yourself to let her watch baby. But, if she’s a safe person, then I would want you to ask yourself if you’re not ready for someone to watch baby because of...

    Helping 3.5 year old understand "you" and "me"

    @guilhermesilva I saw a suggestion to touch the person you’re talking to in order to model which pronouns go where, and do the same when your child talks. Ex: if I’m talking, “I (touch self) love you (touch kid).” My child couldn’t do it, and then suddenly like overnight she figured it out...

    Am I in the wrong?

    @swapnaamanna See this is a different issue. No one is allowed to watch the baby who isn’t going to follow your rules for baby, end of story. Husband needs to back you.

    How to deal with being away from your baby

    @henryjoshua I started with doing a meet and greet with potential sitters, asking them questions and seeing how they interact with LO. Then i paid them to watch baby at home while i was there. Then, i could see how they interacted and could have stepped in if needed. I’ve found two sitters i...

    I’m a few months behind on vaccines and visits and I feel embarrassed to go back to the doctor…

    @sachin0990 There’s a difference between choosing a delayed vaccine schedule, which isn’t evidence based, and changing your mind and wanting your kid to catch up! Just let them know when you call to schedule an appt that you think you’ve missed a few vaccines and would like to get your child...

    No Screens Possible for Short Flight with 13 month old?

    @lostinthepast For an 1.5 flight, definitely can do it (but I’d load something on your phone JUST in case. Snack boxes, Vinyl reuseable stickers, suction cup toys for the windows, plenty of things you can do.

    Looking for new laundry detergent for sensitive skin and allergies?

    @ellenp I use biokleen and really like it. My husband is sensitive to scents, so I only choose fragrance free (even no essential oils if I can help it). However, we don’t have eczema to deal with in our house, so can’t speak to that. I almost only wash in cold water and think it works well! I...

    Glass bottles keep cracking

    @gosdontez Right?! I didn’t say it was the parent’s fault because it ABSOLUTELY isn’t. Some babies are more particular than others. Just for the parents whose babies MIGHT take cold milk, I always suggest they try!

    Glass bottles keep cracking

    @pokerfaceblonde A-i don’t warm bottles. I just feed baby cold pumped milk 🤷🏻‍♀️ works fine! B-i have the avent ones and they’re very thick (but not too heavy). I doubt they would crack.

    Easter Basket Ideas

    @kee04 Last year, I did the granola bars my daughter likes and some Annie’s cheddar bunnies (on theme lol). This year, shes also 3; she’s getting a new bathrobe and a coloring book, and I’ll do something similar with the eggs: food she’ll eat anyway but really likes.
