moderately granola moms

Looking for recommendations on treats to put in Easter baskets as well as toys that your kids love right now. Mine are almost 3 (f) nd 8 months old (m). And what do you put in the plastic eggs? I had the hardest time last year finding things that would fit unless it was some sort of food item...

My baby recently turned 1 and is doing well on solids. M-F she takes maybe 8-16oz of pumped milk. I still nurse her in the morning, usually when I get back from work, then at bedtime, plus a few times overnight (bedsharing). I’m looking to reduce pumping because it’s taking such a toll on me...

Moderately granola moms, helpppppp! I received a bag of clothes from a friend of a friend that reeked of some awful toxic detergent. I didnt think much of it as I figured washing it would get it out, but I think there is serious buildup from repeated washing. I mixed those clothes in with...

My kids are now 10 and 7. I thought I'd make a short list of toys they still play with almost every week, along with (approximately) when we received them. Feel free to add your own! Age 2 (and 0): Silk play scarves. Yes, they still get these out almost every day. Age 4 (and 1): Micro...

Moderately granola mom here who needs some help! I feel like I went down the very granola birth route and my journey did not go to plan - my midwives let me labor at home for 5 days with a posterior baby (they couldn't figure out that he was posterior?) truly the worst pain of my life but...

Opinions on amoxicillian for a 7 month old. My 2 older daughters have strep and double ear infections. They are 8 and 7. However I took my 7 month old to the same nurse practioner because he has had a hoarse cough and pulling at his ear. she said that his throat looked fine but one ear was a...

I am looking for an organic cotton rug for my son’s playroom and I’ve been looking at the options on Hook & Loom’s website, but I am not thrilled about the idea of buying a white rug that could easily get stained, and I would love some color! I like H&L because they dont spray any fire...

I'm currently pregnant and looking for some clothing to put on my registry because I know people will want to buy clothes regardless. Might as well put some clothing on there I'd actually want my baby in. I plan to get a lot secondhand myself since that is the most sustainable, but I know many...

I have a 4 year old daughter and 5 month old son, who is ebf. My daughter goes to preschool MWF, but I homeschool her on Tuesdays/Thursdays and will begin full time homeschool in August. I have a WFH job that i’m currently doing part time. Im working around 20 hours a week in the evenings...

I have been a long-time menstrual cup user. For about 9 years, I used a Keeper (the natural rubber kind). It was fine, a little leaking here and there, but got the job done. After my first was born, I kept using the same cup because (I thought) since I didn't have a vaginal birth I didn't need...

Hey all- I recently came across Lead Mama and that sent me down a fresh anxiety driven rabbit hole re: lead exposure. We live in a rented 1940s house and I had brief concerns about lead but grew up in an older home and didn’t worry too much about it. Baby was tested at 1 and lead levels were...

so i'm looking for something specific and wonder if anyone here would know... i have some hand-me-downs of these tanks from amazon. i love them, particularly because they don't have a typical "shelf bra" where there is a second layer under the shirt, like most nursing tanks seem to. they just...

My 6 year old has ADHD, and has dealt with toileting issues since potty training. We've tried many therapy options for both issues, and found some success with a combo of ADHD medication and removing dairy and gluten from his diet. His medicine reduces his appetite during the day, and he's...

I recently got these and was excited because the sleeve offered protection but it's so hard to get on, I can barely get it on all the way. I can't imagine taking it off. Does anyone else have this struggle or a solution?

I purchased two nuLOOM rugs recently. I'm concerned about their safety and the possible chemicals they are giving off. One I ordered from Amazon and is labeled as 100% polyester (photo of label) which I understand to be a relatively safe plastic and it is also labeled Oeko-tex certified. This...

I prefer ingredients on my food to be simple and clear to understand. My son (10mo) should have the same. I dont like a lot of baby "puffs" becuase I don't see why all the extra stuff is in them. I know a lot Is the fortification but he gets fortified coral already. I'd like snacks to be...

We had some hand-me-down crocs that my toddler wore all the time. We live in Hawaii so I need something that is easy to get on and off and comfortable when it’s hot. Now he’s grown out of the crocs but I’m having hesitation about buying a size up. As far as plastic pollution, I’d try to buy used...

Hey there as the title implies I am seeking help with a precocious and playful about to be 4 y/o. And as the username implies I am a dad, posting for my partner, a moderately granola mom, I assure you my masculinity is non-toxic and organic. Our daughter has been lying about sometimes seemingly...

i have all glass food storage containers (various brands like Pyrex, Sur La Table, and IKEA), but they all have plastic lids. now, the plastic lid isn't a focus of mine since it doesn't/barely touches the food. but some of ours are cracking (particularly the pyrex lids) and i would like to...

I’m about to pop out my third kid any day now and my other two are 2 (m) and 1 (f). I don’t love showing them tons of screen time but I know the coming month they will probably watch more than normal while I’m recovering and figuring out life with 3 under 3. I try to keep it educational and slow...
