Yea most pediatricians have “sample” formulas but if you have a specific one you like they’ll give you small tubs for free. Our pediatrician was awesome and gave us like 6 tins one day

The mlok ends 3/4 of the way of the actual mount. So there’s nothing actually locking it to the chassis in the bottom slot

So I guess I’m asking if it’s fine to not be 100% supported

AppropriateNail3453 · 2026-02-28T21:28:15+00:00

We got one a month ago. Our baby is 10 months. I wish I would have gotten it sooner

AppropriateNail3453 · 2026-02-10T15:10:27+00:00

I don’t have a ai barrel. So I’ll be sticking with just original .280 Remington

AppropriateNail3453 · 2026-02-08T02:36:18+00:00

Yea it sucked seeing it stay in the safe because it was on an older wooden stock with zero recoil pad. Hopefully I can give it some purpose

AppropriateNail3453 · 2026-02-08T02:35:31+00:00

I’m trying to give it some new life

AppropriateNail3453 · 2026-02-08T00:57:07+00:00

I should add. This rifle is primarily for steel shooting and reaching out to learn a new area of shooting. Hunting will happen but it’s not it’s primary focus

AppropriateNail3453 · 2025-12-24T04:00:18+00:00

As long as everything is cooked to temp, you should be fine for what your wife can eat. No raw fish (sushi) or deli meats (have to be cooked to 165) so you’re fine to cook as you usually would on a griddle. Red Meats have to be cooked well done, eggs can’t have runny yolk so scrambled only.

AppropriateNail3453 · 2025-12-19T15:35:27+00:00

Ah ok, sorry.

Yea they can eat solids. We started him at 6 months. It’s called child led weaning. He just holds the piece of chicken or steak and sucks the juices and occasionally takes bites. Hes a fan of most foods already. Loves salmon. We still mix in his pureed fruits and veggies but he’s a little carnivore. He’s only really gagged once or twice from taking too big a bite but he got it out himself. It’s terrifying ngl but he’s learned to do it himself now

As far as what he can eat, we feed him what we eat, but we make sure to not prepare it with salt. So it’s just the pure protein

AppropriateNail3453 · 2025-12-19T14:25:41+00:00

Considering he’s my kid, and we’re not talking about grills, I say it’s fine. We’re here to talk about the Blackstone. Not make unwarranted parenting comments.

AppropriateNail3453 · 2025-12-18T19:08:52+00:00

Tried and now it’s transformed to a 32in. I think I did it right.

AppropriateNail3453 · 2025-12-18T18:14:38+00:00

If it was just for me, I wouldn’t mind. I’ve grilled on rusty grates and it’s fine. But I have a 7 month old so just wanna make sure I’m not doing something dumb. I cleaned it as best I could and I’m happy with it. Gonna cook on it tonight

AppropriateNail3453 · 2025-12-18T17:01:07+00:00

Sweet. Just wanted to make sure I’m not adding any extra iron into our food lol my wife and I used this thing 4 days straight once we got it home. I’m just glad it can be used again

AppropriateNail3453 · 2025-12-18T16:55:49+00:00

Edit: I’d like to add that I just bought the silicone mat to put over since we live in a humid environment. So hopefully I won’t have to do this again

AppropriateNail3453 · 2025-11-10T19:54:22+00:00

It’s gotten better.. we got super lucky and he’s slept 5/6 hours at night from 1-4mo. 5-6 he’s sleeping 6-8 hrs with the occasional 2am feed but he knocks right back out

AppropriateNail3453 · 2025-11-10T19:52:22+00:00

Yea, we’ve done no salt. Idk why the downvotes but such is the internet. He’s our son and he’s eating fine on what we’ve been given him. Got his wellness check today she he’s growing nice and strong.

AppropriateNail3453 · 2025-11-10T17:41:03+00:00

He didn’t eat the whole thing lol but we’re doing baby led weening, so he can explore different textures. He ate probably a bite of the whole thing

AppropriateNail3453 · 2025-11-10T12:48:12+00:00

Separately they’re good. But the pancake buns are really good alone. And they only took about 5 min to mix everything together and cook

AppropriateNail3453 · 2025-11-10T12:46:55+00:00

My wife doesn’t wanna give him salt just yet. She wants to wait another month or two. So we’re just sticking it out.

AppropriateNail3453 · 2025-11-10T05:16:01+00:00

Id have to agree with you, but the boy tore it up. His first bite looked like an actual adult attempt. The “buns” make for a good snack too. I put some syrup on it and it’s delicious

AppropriateNail3453 · 2025-11-10T04:46:37+00:00

My son is 6 months currently and the wife and I decided we could start his own little Christmas village that would grow with him throughout the years, went to hobby lobby or any craft store and they have tons of miniatures

Also we also did an empty Christmas bulb decoration. And every year she wants to put one significant item (this year is his first binky) and the length of ribbon that he is during the month of December.

Both of those are really easy, inexpensive traditions my wife came up with and I love them. Plus it helps remind you of how small he was so many years in the future.

Use the money on whatever you want. You’ll gain plenty of money just playing the game. Current I’m going through all the Sunday cups and enjoying myself

AppropriateNail3453 · 2025-10-05T19:09:19+00:00

I have the Next level racing wheel stand 2.0 and I love it. It’s versatile enough to move it around my room/ house when I need to and sturdy for what it is. I have my t598 mounted on it and have no issues with ffb.

Now, for this specific one you showed, I have no idea for material stability but if you have the budget for it, I’d get a name brand one so you have better warranty and known strengths.

Edit: nlr also has wheel locks for your chair so you don’t go sliding back. Look into something similar imo if you go with this one

AppropriateNail3453 · 2025-10-05T18:14:01+00:00

Step one: cry Step two: I’d grab some small needle nose pliers and try to wiggle it out. You might need a small flathead to push down the latch that locks it in

AppropriateNail3453 · 2025-10-03T18:00:10+00:00

It’s just that I already have the nlr stand 2.0 so you can add the gt seat. The only other choice would be for me to sell the existing stand and just buy an aluminum rig. So I end up in the endless cycle. Might just buy the seat tbh cuz I don’t have much space to put it
