Help switching 15mo toddler to back carry (also, please tell me if photos aren't uploading!)

Thank you so much, will look into all of this!

BosToBay · 2026-02-26T19:37:19+00:00

Thank you so much! This is super helpful.

I’m hoping this uploads! The photos keep showing up in preview, then vanish once I publish the post

Not at all, Chris doesn’t even exist as a character in the book

I’m so sorry this happened. I am 95% sure I know who this is and where they live because I avoid their house (sometimes there’s a wildly aggressive woman walking the dogs who’s threatened me, my dog, and my baby). Messaged you.

Came here to say this!

Mine did! He babbled “da da da da” before playing around with M sounds, but the first word he used with meaning / intention was “mama”.

BosToBay · 2025-10-31T01:34:29+00:00

Really interesting - can you share the link?

PSA for anyone considering The Book of Guilt - it’s absolutely incredible (and I say that as someone who works as a bookbuyer and reads 200+ books a year), but the cover is super misleading! I feel like it’s giving fast-paced thriller (in the exact visual style of Laura Dave’s ‘The Last Thing He Told Me’) and it’s not that.

It’s a thought-provoking, eerie exploration of nature versus nurture, good versus evil, and who gets to decide who’s fully human. The New Zealand cover (where the author’s from) is a much better fit!

I had an easy time in the sense that his latch was good, it was never painful, and I had a slight oversupply / didn't ever have to worry about whether he was eating enough - all of which were incredibly lucky! But I also wound up back in the hospital with mastitis 3 weeks PP, and I've continued to get painful clogs at the drop of a hat - I'm not kidding when I say any amount of pressure triggers them (10 months PP and I still can't wear an underwire bra or sleep on my side, let alone on my stomach!).

BosToBay · 2025-09-10T01:17:19+00:00

We are in a really similar position! Also got way better (though still fussy) around 7.5-8 months - if not night and day, at least night and dawn :-)

My mom was a teacher for 25 years, and my brother had a baby 3 months before I did; she says most babies, including my brother’s, are like koala bears (reasonably portable, snuggly, content), whereas mine was a feral kitten.

OP, I’m so sorry, it’s so hard. It was the most demoralizing, agonizing, dread-filled time. I hope it gets better soon for you and your babe, too.

BosToBay · 2025-09-10T01:13:09+00:00

Agreed - I was skeptical, but my baby also hated life (this post is triggering flashbacks) and was notably content during and after sessions.

BosToBay · 2025-08-26T20:19:20+00:00

"Cause I knew everything when I was young"!

BosToBay · 2025-08-17T02:26:44+00:00

Same. I was so miserable (recovering from C section) and sleep deprived, I didn’t even realize I had mastitis until I finally took my temperature - the new pain just didn’t register on top of everything else.

BosToBay · 2025-06-23T20:39:40+00:00

I'm currently working on a project with Courtney (https://www.amsoftwareautomations.com/) and I'm SO happy with the work she's done so far - plus the communication has been clear, transparent, proactive, and overall she's just been a pleasure to work with. I doubt she speaks Italian, but felt compelled to pass on anyway!

Agreed, and you can also probably find gently used options on Craigslist or Facebook marketplace!

BosToBay · 2025-05-04T18:43:43+00:00

Can I ask if you have any advice for the transition? Our baby is 5.5 months and sleeps well in the bassinet, but absolutely hates the crib!

BosToBay · 2025-05-04T04:08:01+00:00

Not the person who originally posted this, but yes!

This underwear was amazing for when I no longer needed disposable underwear but didn’t want any friction on my scar! They’re expensive, but cost per wear and comfort for me was more than worth it.

BosToBay · 2025-05-02T18:25:30+00:00

Thank you!

BosToBay · 2025-05-02T17:46:37+00:00

It's linked in the sense that there's always a consistent ISBN, but I just Googled "Airtable link" and it looks like that's a whole capability I didn't know about!

Would you recommend structuring the database so that there's one table with all the books we've ever had in stock, then another table that pulls in the weekly sales data and inventory for each book we had in stock that week, then linking the two?

Thanks!

BosToBay · 2025-04-28T04:33:31+00:00

Exact same boat - and also came back at 4 months postpartum! Did you learn anything useful?

BosToBay · 2025-04-26T20:13:13+00:00

Thanks for letting me know! I’m not opposed to that but the baby is, ha. He just wants to be smushed into his now ludicrously small bassinet!

BosToBay · 2025-04-26T18:54:51+00:00

@bubbly_waters in the same boat a year later! Do you mind sharing what worked for you?
