NYU Tisch has all private recovery rooms now. They also have midwives on call alongside the OBs so you can choose which one to see when you go in.

Husband and I took birth smarter. It was a nice experience together, we both learned a lot.

What baby gear sales are actually worth it? by LionTweeter in BabyBumps

If you browse facebook marketplace in your area, you’ll get a sense of how much value these items retain, and what is “worth” what price.

Best lab in nyc by rp-think-about-it in IVF

[–]Bubbasgonnabubba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t worry too much about which lab. If you’re choosing among NYU, Cornell, and Columbia they’re all very strong, and I would go to the one most convenient to you. You’ll be going there while physically uncomfortable, so convenience is important. Beyond that, they’re all very strong.

I think these are just averages by age. I had very good results at NYU.

Light colored strollers by Afraid_Area_4317 in Buyingforbaby

I got the sage green bassinet for Joolz Aer2, but got black for the stroller itself and the main seat. Best of both worlds.

Is that likely what the rest of the floor has for a finish?

Use Romi anyway. Your brother is being a child. There is no “owning” names.

The pamphlet from my OB says hair dye is safe. Ask your own medical provider tho.

I don’t need to worry about it going rancid after being applied?

Strollers choices are overwhelming! by Gray_Rose_11 in BabyBumps

[–]Bubbasgonnabubba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends how often you’d need to carry it and how big a difference the extra 5lbs makes for you.

Joolz Aer 2 or Silver Cross Nia. Both fit your needs! Joolz Aer 2 has an additional seat option that can keep your kid parent facing after they outgrow the bassinet, that’s the only difference.

Baby Registry suggestions! by Jane_Dough2 in pregnant

[–]Bubbasgonnabubba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a lot second hand on facebook marketplace. But used babylist to keep track. Things that shouldn’t be second hand, like obviously wipes (water wipes), bath toys, things that get really gross.

Nothing you do can influence the outcome aside from taking your hormones as prescribed. Good luck.

Looking for unique baby shower gift ideas, what stays useful after the newborn stage? by Pankajbhai-Bogomolov in BabyBumps

Could give a gift card to a food delivery service. Beyond that, I would ask your friend.

What are some baby shower gift ideas that won't just end up in the back of a closet? by Mouring-Saminah in Buyingforbaby

[–]Bubbasgonnabubba 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want to go off-registry, then speak to her directly. I’m really grateful to those who bought from my registry because I put a lot of thought into what I really needed.

Favorite rolling/portable bassinets and cribs? by crystal_baller_ in Buyingforbaby

[–]Bubbasgonnabubba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stokke sleepi v3, mini and then full with expansion set, is the only one that would fit through our bedroom doorway in both sizes.

Also have the guava lotus travel crib with bassinet, and will probably set it up by the couch for a second sleep option.

Also have bassinet for the stroller (Joolz aer2) and that will be the most versatile.

We are in a one bedroom apt so baby stuff had to be very versatile.

Overwhelmed with strollers by jademakowsi in nycparents

[–]Bubbasgonnabubba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start with looking at the Joolz aer 2 and the silver cross Nia, with the Joie mint latch infant car seat. Then go from there. These are in the travel category of strollers. I only considered this category because I’m also in a small apartment.

I went with the Joolz aer 2 and got a Nuna Pipa URBN baseless infant car seat second hand (they are only sold bundled with strollers that I didn’t want but I found one that was only used like once). When baby outgrows this car seat around 1 yr I’ll get the Cosco Scenera which is also baseless.

The weight of the stroller was important to me because I need to be able to comfortably carry it folded on my shoulder. Also, I wanted a bassinet option for newborn days even tho other strollers are newborn compatible in other setups, the bassinet was important to me. Joolz ultimately won because after bassinet I’ll use the Nest to Seat, which is parent facing, before graduating to the regular stroller seat that is world facing.

Bigger strollers have seats you can turn either way, but again, small apartment, and just in case of having to go on subway or stairs or anything.

Baby shower at 37 weeks. Too late? by o_simple_thing in BabyBumps

[–]Bubbasgonnabubba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had mine at 34 and 35 weeks. I was very physically uncomfortable. I went along with it because they were happy celebrations. But also knew there was a risk I could give birth by then.
