moderately granola moms

Hi all! I’m in the market for a baby/toddler wagon and don’t even know where to begin my research. I honestly am not even sure what features wagons can have so I don’t know what I’m missing as I compare. I’d love some help: • currently have a 1 y/o who loves her stroller and is happy to sit in...

So I've skimmed the web, most of the standard health websites all agree that teething fever is not a thing. And even those that mention that a slight temperature rise say it's only to about 38°C/100F. So science seems to agree. But anecdotally (son has about ten teeth now), every time he's had...

Edit: Okay y’all it’s been about 10 days since I made this post. I carefully read each response (thank y’all so much!!) and I just wanted to tell you all how much my life has been impacted. 1. I was lucky it was a restock week, which meant I could buy some new items. We already purchase mostly...

I'm due in December with our second and am hoping to birth this one unmedicated. Last time, I made it to about 6 cm before I asked for the epidural and then received it at 8 or 9 cm, so I can very clearly remember that sensation (discomfort) of labor. My doula this time suggested the body-ready...

Need all of your valued opinion! After some research, we felt these two were a good fit for us (Aria, because of its low weight). Then I read some posts here that Uppababy may not be completely PFAS free. I have been communicating with their CS, and while they use a lot of legalese, it appears...

Won’t go back to sleep without breastfeeding. I’m so tired. We used to cosleep but now he actually wakes up more when he’s in the bed with us and doesn’t go back to sleep easily. He’s in a crib in the room adjacent to ours. He has a lovey that he sleeps with. Bedtime routine most nights...

So I’m trying to decide which diapers to get for our baby who is due in 3.5 weeks or less! I thought Pampers Pure would be a good alternative and maybe not as expensive as some others but I noticed they have vegetable oil in them… Is this a big deal? I know vegetable oil isn’t great to ingest so...

I'm 20 weeks pregnant. Im starting doing light therapy again (doesn't produce any vitamin D) and also taking a liquid vitamin d supplement. Im having a hard time leaving the house and getting natural sunlight. I usually get out of the house at nighttime to some exercise but im pretty much a...

It's hard to put into words I guess - but I want to move to a more conscious household as far as cleaners, bath products, etc. I start looking into making changes and then I just start to get overwhelmed. I am one year PP and when I was in the thick of it after my baby was born, I was deep into...

This is partly a cross-post from my bumper group, so sorry if I'm spamming like two of you. :) I have an almost 9-month-old. We co-sleep on a floor bed, and have not done any sleep training. She was consistently going to sleep around 5:30-6pm, and sleeping until 6:30-7am, with several (3? 4? I...

So here's my situation: FTM to an amazing little boy who will be 9 months on the 11th. Since his 4/5 month sleep regression where he went 7-9 hours sleeping straight without waking, he has been refusing to sleep in his crib (playpen with mattress) and waking up every 1-3 hours in the night. We...

My baby is 7 months old and my husband told me that his mum doesn’t feel like a grandmother. We live next to my MIL and she sees our baby all the time cause our house is currently being renovated and we have to use the bathroom in her house to shower. We also have Sunday dinner every week and...

I had a 32 week sonogram today and everything looks good with baby except they said she’s measuring really big. 5.5lbs. They want me to come in for heartrate monitoring weekly and another ultrasound in 3 weeks. I just KNOW they’re going to push for an induction at some point. With my first I was...

My child is 3.5 and always reverses "you" and "me." We had him evaluated by the local public school team and they said this isn't considered a problem till age 4. Still, my partner is insisting on trying to teach him by correcting him when he calls himself "you." I feel like we should just wait...

My poor 3 month old squish has eczema all over his legs and torso and even behind his ears. It doesn’t seem to be really bothering him right now but it’s hard to tell. He’ll have his next pediatrician appt in early January but I’m trying to figure out what else I can do until then. Currently I...

I’m a FTM. What are some registry items that are a must have and some I can skip? I know opinions can vary but find these and y’all’s input so helpful.

My 2yo has outgrown suction plates. I have long needed to get him actual toddler plates, cups, and bowls. I was resisting buying plastic. I don't know why. On Amazon I saw "bamboo" platewear. Perfect! I hit buy. I love them! Soft colors, kinda like plastic but have a much nicer porcelain-like...

My 1 year old loves to crawl in our yard and get his hands and feet dirty. My landlord fertilized the entire yard and I'm assuming the chemicals wouldn't be safe to play in...at what point would it be safe again?

I saw the pajama post and it reminded me to ask: does anyone know of wool, oekotex cotton, or linen nightgowns for little girls? Size 5 and 7. They dream of long, flowy white nightgowns—that Clara in the Nutcracker look—but the only ones sold in the U.S. are polyester and/or have flame...

I ended up buying the babycare playmat since it was nontoxic. And honestly I got tired of going down the rabbit hole and trusted what it said on Amazon and other website. But I finally got it and the chemical smell is so strong! The reviews are pretty mixed on this. Anyone else have this...
