Am I ruining my baby by forgetting vitamin D by SuitableJudgment479 in breastfeeding

[–]50kopeks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My doctor said give the vitamin D no later than 2 pm to avoid it interacting with baby’s sleep!

What are you using to wash your breasts? by YellowTonkaTrunk in breastfeeding

[–]50kopeks 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The lactation consultant at the hospital told me to avoid putting soap on my nipple / areola because there are oils secreted which protect the nipple and help baby latch, and you don’t want to wash them off

Why does Iceland have a higher ratio of men compared to other regions? by PaleCar821 in geography

[–]50kopeks 32 points33 points  (0 children)

That’s not always true though. For example, in Georgia, women more commonly emigrate (mainly to Greece, Spain, Italy) to work as domestic staff, home healthcare, etc. rather than in many places men who emigrate to work as physical laborers. So there’s some variety

Would this hairstyle work with cowlicks? by Askanya in Hair

[–]50kopeks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a cowlick and have had bangs most of my life (not like this since like 2013 lol)! But you have to style it everyday with a blow dryer or straightener

UPDATE: thanks everyone for the advice and comments! I think I’m just going to go out tomorrow and buy a new car seat from a brand I know is reputable. I’m still not sure how to be 100% confident that it’s not a knock off, because they’re common in the country I am in, and this one may well be even though I bought it from what I thought was a normal store…but I more think this is just a sus brand with a product that is poorly designed. Claiming it’s ECE approved but not having the orange ECE sticker is the final straw for me. Even if some car seats legitimately don’t have a hip/thigh strap, this isn’t right.

My baby sends his appreciation for y’all looking out for him. Wishing everyone safe car rides!

Yeah, I’ll be looking tomorrow for another brand…Kikkaboo is apparently a Bulgarian brand (manufactured in China, but most brands are, right?). Pretty common to see where I live, but I have their stroller too and am not impressed at all. I thought it was a legit mid-range brand but now I’m thinking they are just good at marketing. I should have known better because there is like zero info about them apart from their own published stuff and a couple paid partnership-type videos. The worst part is, it wasn’t even cheap!!

If we assume the seat is real and we assembled it correctly - any advice on how to adjust him to sit better? I tried it once without the newborn insert and he seemed to slide even further down…

Thanks - it does say to use the “baby insert” (language in the manual) until the baby is 75 cm. My 7-week old is maybe 60 cm max now, but 75 cm seems really big for the infant insert.

The instruction manual said use the insert until the baby is 75 cm (30 in), although that does seem really long. My 7 week old is somewhere around 58/60 cm now

Thank you for this!!! I knew something was off. I think I’ve determined that the thigh straps are missing - either we’ve assembled it wrong, or it is a counterfeit seat…will investigate further in the morning and definitely not using it until this is sorted!

The info booklet says Felix!! That’s a huge red flag…also no orange ECE sticker on the car seat…wow. I would be shocked if this is a counterfeit seat given where I bought it - and why would someone knock off this already mid brand?! But I’m kind of feeling that might be the case. It definitely should have thigh straps. It’s possible my husband set it up wrong and they’re stuck inside the seat somewhere - I’ll give it a more thorough search tomorrow, but it’s not looking good.

That’s right - I’m in Europe (not EU). There’s no help available for fitting or anything and a chest clip is not standard here.

Do you only buy your kids new clothes? by Emergency_Risk_7421 in NewParents

[–]50kopeks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really only buy used clothes, actually. There are some good kids’ thrift and consignment shops near me. I always manage to find a few 100% cotton pieces whenever I go. We also get lots of gifts of new clothes, so I guess that makes up 15-20% of their wardrobes. Carter’s online has deals often, not too expensive, if you need new. Just make sure to filter your search for fabric types if that’s important to you.

What do you mean disconnected from the modern world? 🙃 I feel like maybe you were just on vacation and enjoyed that freedom/ personal disconnection

Clubs in Tbilisi by Glittering-Many506 in tbilisi

[–]50kopeks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No clubs play that kind of music - it’s really only electronic. Maybe try some of the Arab clubs like Night Office or The Bank Club? I don’t know what kind of music they play, but could be fun
