    Does anyone else’s kid survive on snacks and snacks only?

    @ruanddrew We had to do a week-long snack cleanse over the summer. She was offered absolutely no snacks or fruit. She only got “real” foods and any leftovers were later offered at snack time. She’s still picky but it did help. I also do a lot “bite for a bite” at dinner usually with fruit and...

    How Can We Make r/sleeptrain A Better Sub for Sleepy Parents?

    @tomfst I'm going to go against the grain and vote against weekly themed posts. There are tons of great uses for weekly themed posts but I have never felt they were a good place to direct people seeking advice. The chances your question will be seen goes WAAAY down. Almost every time I've posted...

    How Can We Make r/sleeptrain A Better Sub for Sleepy Parents?

    @shiftybroccoli You could add age specific post flair (perhaps 0-8 weeks, 9-16 weeks, 4-6 months, 6-9 months, 9-12 months, 12-18 months, 18-24 months, 2+ years) and then people can filter by that flair and find posts for babies in their baby's age range.

    What did your kids have for lunch this week

    @joegibson I have a 3.5 yo. Today we had breakfast for lunch (french toast sticks, scrambled eggs, fruit). We have sandwiches pretty often (rotating turkey/cheese, pb&j. pb&b). Chicken nuggets with a fruit cup. Sometimes I make ramen noodles but not very often. It's never something that takes a...

    He’s asleep before 7…

    @dmoffett It’s fine. Some sleep expert at some point managed to convince everyone that babies “need” an early bedtime because they sleep deeper before midnight?? And also the idea that babies will wake up early no matter what you do. Neither of these things are true. As long as you’re following...

    He’s asleep before 7…

    @dmoffett All hail the later schedules! There have definitely been days when I’ve wished bedtime was a little earlier but it’s not worth the trade off of waking up before 7 am!!

    PLS sleep group

    @nickseand I love love love PLS. I love their online facebook group and they've helped me troubleshoot quite a lot over the last 2 years. I recommend their book to almost everyone posting for sleep help. But $350 is such a steep price for 4 weeks of support! Honestly it would even be steep for a...

    Did anyone start Preschool at 4 instead of 3?

    @afolabi1024 My daughter starts this fall. She has an October birthday so she's right on that line. Technically she will start at 3 but she will be 4 for the vast majority of her school year so in my mind we waited until 4. I am not worried at all. I think she's had a lovely time at home with me...

    Is having a second kid really worth all the trouble? It looks exponentially harder to go from 1 to 2 kids than zero to 1.

    @noah0135 This was my mindset for a smaller age gap as well. I didn't want to put all of the tiny baby and toddler stages behind us and then start over. I wanted all the baby/toddler stuff together so we could rip it off like a bandaid

    Does anyone else’s working spouse do this? I swear it’s cognitive dissonance

    @ajewelinhiscrown My husband knows better than to question how often I clean lol. In moments like that I would ask her point blank "How can you ask this when the other day you were asking why I'm always in the kitchen? And please let me know when I would have had a chance to get them done today...

    Did anyone start Preschool at 4 instead of 3?

    @wrath427 This is so petty of me, but it is one of my parenting group pet peeves when people call daycare school. Like, no, your 10 month old is not in school. They are in daycare lol.

    Baby is barely taking bottles but eats 3 full meals a day

    @addelheid I've never heard any doctor or medical organization say "the sooner off formula the better" every source I've read has always said that breastmilk or formula should be their primary source of nutrition until their first birthday. Some babies do naturally wean themselves early and...

    F the cult-like following of certain carrier brands (Happy Baby)

    @immanuelsdottir Oh yeah, I've seen cloth diaper covers selling on Mercari for easily 4x the retail value. It's absurd. Personally I was never willing to pay more than 80% retail for a cover. And that was only for new or like new ones. And I included the cost of shipping in that!
