buying for baby

Hi all, FTM and searching for a nursery chair. My husband and I are both tall - 5’9” and 6’3”. I’m considering a wooden glider with cushions (used, Dutailier) and a matching ottoman. Good choice? Or would an upholstered chair be better? If upholstered is better, what do you recommend...

To give context, I am starting a new job here shortly which means I’ll get paid double… I am really good with money and have an emergency fund and stuff (5-6 months emergency fund). We just bought a car because we’ve been planning to purchase and saved up more than half of it. We have to now...

So I'm going thru all the baby clothing I received at my shower. I'm trying to determine what I have, what I need to return, and what I'm missing. One of the problems is that I seem to have no less than 27 onesies sized 0-3 months! ...At least I think so. It's hard to tell because Carter's only...

We are getting ready to trade in my 11-yr-old Honda coupe for a new(/er) 4-door model. I've also read that the safest place to install our rear-facing infant car seat (KeyFit 30) is the middle seat in the back. My questions are: 1. Where do/did you install your infant seat? 2. Does anyone...

Hi everyone! I’m in the market for a new stroller for a newborn. Here are my immediate requirements: Compact footprint and collapsible for easy transport (I live in a 1 BR apartment in NYC and plan to travel regularly) Suitable for a newborn until they are approximately 4 My research...

Has anyone had a chance to try this? Or if you have the nuna trvl can you tell me why you like or don’t like it? The lx is be w in the US. I’m torn between it and the nuna trvl regular as a lightweight car stroller to help me out as I’m pregnant and have a 14 month old. I’ll have the nuna...

I’m looking into the new Chicco Fit360 for my baby joining us in September, however I am seeing so much about infant seats I wonder what are the benefits of starting with one instead of going straight to the convertible? A few personal contexts: - I live in the Appalachian South, so weather can...

Hey y'all!! I'm visiting from /r/babybumps while I wait for #3. I never got into baby wearing too much with my first 2. We have a bjorn, but hubby preferred to wear it more than me. I'm interested in one of the slings so I can breastfeed and wear baby while chasing my toddler :) Moby, ergo...

I’m so extremely overwhelmed by the jogging stroller options. I am purchasing one to use with my almost 1 year old, primarily around the neighborhood. I thought hearing what others like and don’t like about their stroller might be helpful. There doesn’t seem to be much of a used market in...

Hi everyone I'm working on my registry and I have a lot of questions. We're having a summer baby (due July 8) and live in NC. In the summer I keep the house around 72-74° during the day and 68-70° at night (depends how hot it is, I don't want the HVAC murdering itself to keep up but my husband...

Are there chewable versions of simethicone at children’s dosages (40 mg, equivalent to 0.6 mL Mylicon drops) without calcium carbonate? Children’s Mylicon and Pepto Kids both contain calcium carbonate, and the lowest dose chewable Gax-X I could find is 125 mg (adult dose).

Ok y’all I’m in the HOME STRETCH on my Babylist registry and need your advice on the last few items. 1) Best bedside bassinet with the ability to unzip or take the wall down for ease We wanted the Halo but the wall required too much muscle to push down 2) Best affordable baby swing My sister...

I’m having a hard time finding waterproof (or even very water-resistant) gloves that can fit my 4 year old while still letting him actually move his fingers. He goes to daycare where they spend most of the day outside, and his gloves always end up wet. There are plenty of waterproof mittens and...

My baby boy is 7 weeks old and is wearing 3-6 month outfits because he’s so long. Even in 3-6 month onsies he can’t wear ones with the feet. Does anyone know of a baby clothes brand that works for long babies? Ideally I’d like some footie onsies with the mitten option at the sleeves. Thank you!

I wanted to like the EvenFlo Revolve 360 so much more than I do. 2 Pros: 1. I really like the easy install and of course the rotating ability. 2. The fabrics are softer and nicer quality than I expected. 5 Cons: 1. The strap material is too thin and the clips are poorly designed so the straps...

My tall almost-5-month-old has just about outgrown her summer-weight cotton-muslin sleep sack, so we’re ready to upgrade on both size and warmth, but I’m confused on just how warm to go. All the shops seem to be stocked up on and pushing 2.5 TOG and when I read the temperature charts, it says...

Hey Moms who've had multiple kids (and even those who haven't). We're expecting, finally, after trying for almost 3 years (due: 12/26/20) There's going to be a 5.5 year age gap between our little one on the way and my last kiddo. I know a lot of new things have come on the market. What are...

So I decided on an Uppababy Cruz after thinking about the Bugaboo Fox/Donkey, Silvercross Whatevers, and some Nuna Acronyms. Our main goals were to have bassinet compatibility, low weight and ease of use. Uppababy has the travel protection if you buy their bags, so that was major since we...

I want high quality jewellery at a good value price. Don’t want a cheap high street shop but I’m not sure where /what kind of shop to go for to get it. Any ideas?
