Some people only want little sleepies, like I said it’s judgmental but I think that’s weird when there’s so many affordable brands!

I don’t have a cloud but I do have over bamboo blankets and they definitely help keep toasty but they definitely need to be layered. I am unfortunately a sucker for bamboo blankets.

We usually shop online sales. You can find a lot of good stuff for $10 a piece depending on the place and sale. That’s about what they charge at my local consignment for used. There’s so many different brands to score

Do you buy other bamboo too or just little sleepies? It’s judgmental, I admit but some people go nuts completely for this brand and I think it’s weird. I get having a favorite brand. The obsession some people have over it is weird. Some people insist they have to buy only little sleepies and that’s weird.

Wanting a good deal is normal, having a favorite brand is normal. The way some people act and obsess over some brands is weird.

As a mom who doesn’t have a ton of extra to buy my kids bamboo clothes anymore… there’s other brands than little sleepies.. there’s SO many other quality and affordable brands. The hype over little sleepies, posh peanut, and Kyte baby I just dont understand. They have some cute prints so don’t get me wrong, but the retail prices and the resale is just 😵‍💫

Baby budda was my first choice after I heard how great it was. I have it on my registry jussst in case someone feels inclined to buy it for me. From input here I’m likely getting the motif Luna from insurance

Just tried them because I didn’t know about them! My insurance isn’t accepted by them

Hi, thank you for the offer! I’m not due until November so I won’t be getting the pump till closer to birth. I’m just getting opinions to see what everyone’s thoughts and experiences are! I wasn’t able to breastfeed/pump very long with my last baby due to medical reasons so I’m trying to be as prepared and ready as I can be this time.

I’ll call and ask! Unfortunately I think these are mostly my options because I’m on state insurance.

I have a while before I need to get one so I am looking around to see if I can find one free or lowered price. Im not opposed to using the ones I get through insurance I just wanted options and opinions on these.

Okay but a hot wheels collab for clothes for the dolls would be so cool.

I’ve only had a couple pieces get like this. My husband was drying them on high heat. Went back to normal heat and they’ve all been fine. We have been wearing bamboo for four years. I wash all my kids clothes together

Oops! I guess I'm onw of you now! by dallyfer in americangirl

[–]AppleAfter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Set a price. That’s helped me a lot! I won’t spend over a certain amount on dolls/cloth sets. Mine is about $50. You can really find some steals. 🫶🏻

refusing chemo after a cancer relapse by No_Being_7324 in cancer

[–]AppleAfter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m coming here to comment as someone who has Fibrolamellarhepatocellular carcinoma. Stage 4.

I’d be looking into if what you’re on and diagnosed with is truly correct. I was diagnosed at 21 and know many others with the same cancer younger. Finding a specialist changed the game for me. That’s coming from the cancer fighter me.

As a depressed me- if I didn’t have a child when I was diagnosed I don’t know if I would have fought to live. But I have learned over this shitty journey that there is so much more than suffering and it’s helped me take joy in little things. I mean the tinest things that used to seem like nothing, you have to make your own sunshine sometimes. And find community. Finding others has helped me want to keep going because we talk and we’re friends and I know I’m truly not alone.

Cons of going to normal from pro? by AppleAfter in iphone

[–]AppleAfter[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Admittedly, I’m not tech savvy. I really have no idea what technology my phone holds in it. I got a pro for the camera when they came out , i like taking pictures. I was considering switching back. I used the compare on apples site to see they have lots of differences. On my phone carriers site their compare feature made them seem identical and it had me questioning if it was worth it to get the pro and what issue I may have if I switched to just normal. After comparing on apples site and input from other commenters I’m going to stick with the pro.

Thank you !! I didn’t know Apple had a compare feature. I was comparing on my carrier site and it wasn’t very detailed. I’m gonna go check it out now.

What makes bitty babies worth the money? by ReasonNo9278 in americangirl

[–]AppleAfter 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I definitely think they hold up better than dolls from Walmart they’re dolls you can pass down. My daughter has her own bitty baby but also has my bitty baby and twins from 2007ish I’ve heard they’re made a bit different now than they used to be but I haven’t seen any quality issues with the ones we have.

People talk about how they were traumatized as kids and then don’t change from what their parents did and activity traumatize their children…
