@monkeym24 When I grew up, kindergarten graduation was just paper caps and gowns in our classroom. The only real pre-high school graduation was 8th grade graduation for (usually Catholic) private schools where the students went to all different high schools after that. I haven't heard of any...

@jar1437 At 12, you can force ED treatment. Renfrew is an incredible resource. I've had like 5 friends go through their program!

@allisonintx Waterproof usually means PFAS chemicals, so don't just assume that waterproof items are better. That extra coating they offer to apply to the inside of your car before you buy it? Likely just paying to spray an additional layer of PFAS all over your interior. Be judicious with what...

@chris0699 Came to basically say the same. You probably don't need to buy the "thing" and stick to natural materials.

@999forever Yeah that's really good to know in general. Like if someone is watching your baby or toddler too. I checked out the link provided in another comment, and any effort to educate mandated reporters is great! Just scary when families do get caught up in a system that then causes a lot of...

@gal220gal Oh yes, I know they haven't taken them! I'm just thinking my brother cracked his head open a few times, broke his arm and then bashed the cast against things to get it off multiple times. I just feel like if some bruises are taken that seriously, that the injuries my brother had might...

@crafty I'm so sorry that was the case. I think it's such a hard line to walk and I just wish social services were funded adequately so they could actually do the due diligence and follow up on every case. (Can only speak for that not happening where I live. They're down so many social workers...

@999forever This is kind of wild to me. Based on this, we all would've been taken from my parents due to my brother's insanity growing up. He used to do crazy stuff that resulted in serious injuries, including a fall down the steps too. I know at one point, my parents fought over who had to take...

@joyful111 I really loved our sidecar bassinet and was so upset when she outgrew it! A mini crib is a great option too. You can keep them in your room longer or move the whole mini crib into their own room. The stokke trip trappe with newborn attachment was used every day from birth to probably...

@thiago I literally run social media for my company and have never even heard of an employer attempting this. Most honestly want the opposite - don't invoke a corporation anywhere you express personal opinions alongside it.

@brigantine I want to start by saying Renfrew is a fantastic eating disorder resource. I'd say most of my friends and I learned disordered eating habits fairly early. It could be coming from the women in her life talking about themselves being overweight/need to lose 5 lbs, or hearing people...

@pitcharan Same!

@paul1234 My baby is still under 10 lbs, but I love the k'tan. I use it to just take some of the weight of her. Often, I keep her head out of it and I support her with one hand. I've only used it around the house though. I also have the lillebaby and I can't for the life of me figure out how to...

@immanuelsdottir Yeah the happy baby fb group was a joke. I ended up finding one on some random woman's baby retail shop website. Just found it and it is Purple Elm Baby. I just got the color that was available at the time!

@wilburhentz I didn't have fertility issues, but got boosted in December and conceived in my January cycle. 20 week anatomy scan and blood tests have been perfect so far!

@enduring_until_the_end Great to know, thank you!

@george_sky_walker I feel like it's engrained due to a litigious American society. If a medical professional gives advice on how to cosleep "safely" and then a baby dies, they risk getting sued.

@8weaponx I struggle with this, because my baby doesn't always use formula. She's 10 months and slowly weaning to solid foods. If you mix the powder formula with the boiled water and leave it to cool in the fridge, is there anything wrong with that?

@lsatschristianprayer This is my thought as well.

@dotecoat What an oddly specific link that is also slightly infuriating to find out 😅 (thank you for sharing! It's just wild how much we barely understand about so many chemicals.)
