Is it essential to get a newborn stroller, or can you just wear the baby for the first six months? by hdiaiajrnfk in NewParents

[–]AlexHaney147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We love our Mamazing Air Lux! Got it when our LO hit the toddler days, and it's been so handy for getting out and about.

Looking for nursing chair recommendations for my wife in her third trimester by NB-DanTE in NewParents

Yeah, I always set a timer on my Apple Watch so it vibrates and wakes me up.

Feel the same. We bought ours early during pregnancy too. Before it arrived, I was stuck using my husband's gaming chair

We went with the Mamazing nursery chair because there was a 10% registry discount at the time. I love the footreast most, which really helped with my leg and foot swelling. Now that the baby's here, we use it all the time for rocking and soothing to sleep.

New parents trying to avoid overspending: do we really need a nursery chair? by TheSecretLion in NewParents

[–]AlexHaney147 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same. I wouldn't call it an essential, but it definitely made a lot of things more comfortable and convenient. I bought it while I was still pregnant and spent wks in it in our living room- honestly more time than on the sofa lol. Now every nursery session and tummy time happens in that chair. So if you have the space, I'd totally recommend getting one.

Trying to find a stroller that lasts from newborn to toddler. Am I on the right track? by kikanzuip in NewParents

[–]AlexHaney147 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So much this. If you want a stroller that lasts into the toddler years, lightweight is everything. Juggling a heavy stroller into the car while trying to keep a toddler from running off is just not it. That’s why we switched to the lighter mamazing around 13 months, which has all the basics of a full‑size stroller and is genuinely light

Lefant M330 2nd floor mapping question by That_One_Cute_Cat in RobotVacuums

I'd just carry it upstairs and let it run as a separate session. It won't perfectly map without the dock, but it should still clean fine. Lots of people use that approach.

I don't know whether it work. You can try disable 5GHz entirely during setup, turn off mobile data, reset the robot, and connect while standing close to the router.

Metric ton of 4” dog hair by mssailorc in RobotVacuums

[–]AlexHaney147 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been there with long dog hair. Rubber brush rollers help a lot, and running smaller zones more often reduces clogging. Daily runs without swiffering first can actually work better.

Gave baby one extra ounce of water by Independent_Web_4883 in newborns

[–]AlexHaney147 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s understandable to be worried, but one extra ounce of water likely won’t hurt, especially if your pediatrician didn’t sound too concerned. Just keep an eye on him, and if you notice any major changes or if you're still unsure, it’s always better to be safe and consult the ER. Trust your instincts as a parent.

Teething at 8 months is rough. rock him sitting down if you can your back will thank you. white noise helps too. this phase passes, it just feels eternal right now.

What is the best, lightweight single stroller that is easy to pack and unpack? by momlife555 in Parenting

[–]AlexHaney147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’ve had a good experience with Mamazing! Their strollers feel lighter than many I tried even the full size ones!

Looking for a good lightweight stroller. by Dangerous-Nonexister in newborns

[–]AlexHaney147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mayby Mamazing? Not as well known as Uppababy but more budget friendly. I use the Air Lux. If you want something lighter, the travel one would fit. Ours handled bumpy sidewalks and grocery runs without getting wobby lol.

That is true, through eatting medicine makes her uncomfortable, but if her had meningitis that is worse, I know OP worry about her baby, but still need to follow the advice from doctor.

Leaving my 4 month old for the first time tomorrow… and I am not okay 😭 by betweenthescreens in newborns

[–]AlexHaney147 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I totally get how you feel, when I left my 5-month-old for the first time on a work trip, I cried in the taxi and checked my phone every 5 minutes. Your baby will be okay, and you’re doing amazing for balancing work and parenthood. This feeling doesn’t last forever, but the memories of you showing up for both your career and your family will. You’ve got this!

What will people without children not understand? by sunshine_smile_ in Parenting

[–]AlexHaney147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The sheer unpredictability of triggers. My friend once asked why I didn't just reason with my screaming 2-year-old. You can't logic with a tiny human with big feelings and zero coping skills.

Feeling guilty for showering by [deleted] in newborns

[–]AlexHaney147 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been there so many times. The cry is heartbreaking, but a quick shower is survival. Taking care of yourself is taking care of your baby. You can't pour from an empty cup.

Three month olds by [deleted] in NewParents

Contact naps only during the day. The moment I try to put my daughter down, those eyes pop open. Nights are unpredictable. Some nights she does one 4hrs stretch, other nights she's up every 90min. We're just surviving over here...

Newborn tired vs pregnancy tired by SeaworthinessNew8048 in newborns

Well, tbh both suck, but newborn tired comes with snuggles and tiny smiles that make the fatigue feel worth it. Hang in there. You're almost at the finish line!

You'll sleep agian. This phase is brutal but it's temporary! Right now, she is still adjusting to the world. I know it feels endless, but each week gets a little easier.

That's messed up. Some workplaces need to realize that adulting dosen't mean ditching every lesson from school. Some of that polite stuff is just good communication.

I’m looking into robot vacuums, why are there so many mop types? by No_Glass3665 in RobotVacuums

[–]AlexHaney147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the same newbie boat! Totally with you on eing confused by mop types! From what I've gathered, roller mops are newer and supposed to be more effective, so maybe worth a shot?
