    FTM — All my baby hand-me-downs clothes reek of toxic detergent and I can’t wash the smell out

    @ch3apshad3s In my experience, once they're washed 3 or so times, I can't detect the smell. You could also try stripping them, but that's not gentle or without chemicals, either. I personally wouldn't worry too much. Ps. No use in combining baking soda and vinegar. They make bubbles yes, but...

    No preschool?

    @lizzieb90 I wasn't really planning on doing preschool, either. The plan is for me to be home full-time and then maybe get a job part-time while she's in elementary school so I can take care of the house, meals, doctors appointments, etc. and keep our stress level down (if I went back to work it...

    "HoW mUcH dO yOu GeT wHeN yOu PuMp?"

    @snowymtn Absolutely agree!! You just reminded me about my MIL'S obnoxious persistent question. She'd ask me every damn time I saw her how much milk my exclusively breastfed baby drank. MIL knew my baby was exclusively breastfed, she was supportive of that. And yet, she somehow thought that I...

    Anyone ever experience an off interaction w/ one of your kid’s providers?

    @roxchristian I've never felt judged by a practitioner for being a SAHM, but I have actively done my research and handpicked providers. There was one pediatrician (before I did my research) i didn't like at all, I promptly switched pediatricians. I will say, I live in a pretty baby friendly...
