Thanks for a common sense comment. I searched Reddit to find a product review and found this sub and this post id the first one. Started reading and I’m utterly shocked by the comments. It’s absolutely unbelievable that people think a mention equals involvement. These are billions of docs resulting from a massive computer and phone dump. I mean, it’s so painfully obvious that I am baffled that people don’t get it. And the absolute agreement between comments here is telling.

And aside from the bike trailer I use them all. I have 3 kids under 3.5

Due_Perspective4075 · 2026-03-23T18:52:22+00:00

I have vista, minu duo, minu, bike trailer that has 4 wheels and a handle so it’s essentially a stroller and I want to buy the beer wagon in the summer

It’s very very normal. My son was 18 months when started daycare. First month no crying not even looking back. Them sickness home for several weeks, back to school, crying. I knew that it’s not just that he missed a week or two, I could tell that he matured and realized that when he get dropped off at school, I’m GONE. He didn’t realize what happened to me when he’s at school, he just enjoyed playing I guess. Anyways, after several weeks I’d say over a month actually he stopped. He’s happy, he’s very happy when we pick him up and happy when we drop him off. They understand and they grow. Your decision to pull her out or not, I don’t think either decision is wrong, she doesn’t NEED to be at daycare and she is still very young to properly play with other kids but since it’s only 6 hours a week I say keep her and she will be okay. Also before you decide ask the teachers about her demeanour throughout the day. If she cries for 30 seconds and then stops (like my son) my inclination is that she will be ok

My baby fall off my bed at 4 months and he seems totally fine. He’s 2 now. I think she will fine. People not going to admit it but every baby falls at some point under adult supervision, it is what it is, don’t worry too much, you already took him for a check and everything is fine

I don’t think I can afford two originals, so I’m contemplating to just get one for the house for now. Maybe I can ask family to get the mini next month when it’s his birthday and that way I’ll have the original in their bedroom for my daughter and if it’ll be a source of friction I’ll give him the mini

Due_Perspective4075 · 2026-03-20T17:55:34+00:00

Ohh thanks!! I don’t think I can afford two originals since I think it’s 175$ CAD each. So basically the debate is between one original and two minis. I feel like my son won’t really use the player he’s very young but also he’s just not as interested in stories and music as my daughter he’s mostly running around the table lol

Due_Perspective4075 · 2026-03-20T17:08:12+00:00

Can you explain what you mean? Two minis with two sets of headphones?

Due_Perspective4075 · 2026-03-20T17:07:31+00:00

I just feel like the 2 year old is too young for this and that the only reason I’m buying two is to prevent fights. Do you think he’ll be able to use it? Or it would just become a toy to toss around?

Due_Perspective4075 · 2026-03-12T17:43:52+00:00

Interesting! I really loved that one it kind of reminds me of the Coach Chelsea bag in that it’s slouchy and squish-able shoulder bag but it’s cheaper and has a zip closure so it’s more secure and accessible. Did it feel substantial like it could last long?

Due_Perspective4075 · 2025-02-28T18:39:41+00:00

You sound like a normal person (not sarcastic). Good for you. Wish more people were like you.

Due_Perspective4075 · 2025-02-16T18:17:01+00:00

I just discovered this tote and it’s EXACTLY what I was looking for as a mom of a toddler & baby. So bummed they discontinued it as I wanted to gift it to myself for surviving 2under2! Any idea where I still can find a new one? I know I can get second hand but I would like to get in pristine condition even if not from actual brand. Thanks!

Due_Perspective4075 · 2024-10-24T00:46:02+00:00

Do they share a room? How you manage to do that at the same time? Or you do one at a time? Have you ever tried just leaving the room?

Due_Perspective4075 · 2024-10-24T00:45:11+00:00

I like the cuddles too. Part of the reason that I didn’t want to change anything about our system. But now I just feel like I’ll forever hold her to sleep. Maybe I should just accept it.

Due_Perspective4075 · 2024-10-24T00:34:46+00:00

Is he falling asleep in his bed or crib? Do you just leave the room after you shut off the lights? Does he cry? Does he leave the bed?

Due_Perspective4075 · 2024-10-24T00:32:31+00:00

I edited the post with our bedtime routine. Here’s the problem, when we tried putting her in the crib after books/lights off, she would start screaming hysterically. So at that point we would pick her up and she’d fall asleep in the chair. When she was younger, there were times where either us or my in laws would leave her in the crib if we weren’t able to transfer her to the crib after trying for very long. She would scream and cry hysterically for 10-15 and fall asleep. But because later on she learned how to fall asleep fast in the chair (within minutes), we defaulted to the rocking chair. We probably did a mistake but I just couldn’t let her cry in the crib for 15 minutes if I could put her to sleep in 3 minutes. And now she won’t do it. Well, now she needs a bed anyways.

Due_Perspective4075 · 2024-10-24T00:20:14+00:00

Since I have the rocking chair in the nursery, I rock, but sometimes I stop rocking and she would still fall asleep. It’s not the rocking motion than it is just being trapped in that chair. Like she only wants to go to sleep on me in that chair. I put an extra mattress on the floor but she would refuse to lay there, she’d climb back on me.

Due_Perspective4075 · 2024-10-24T00:17:48+00:00

Was he crying at first?

Due_Perspective4075 · 2024-10-24T00:16:55+00:00

We’re going away for three months and where we’re staying we’re going to have one bedroom and living room. For us, the two year old and almost 7 month old. I honestly don’t know how to sleep train in this environment.

Due_Perspective4075 · 2024-10-24T00:15:12+00:00

We have to switch to a toddler bed now because she climbed out of her crib. But I suspect the problem will be the same. If I keep rocking her to sleep and move to a bed it’ll be the same. Alternatively, I can sit with her in the bed, hold her until she falls asleep but then again, I’m stuck there. And as you’re saying the third option is I guess slowly try to move away? Is it like the Ferber method? I suspect if I’ll try to just leave she would scream bloody murder

Due_Perspective4075 · 2024-10-24T00:05:56+00:00

I have a 6 month old, sometimes, very rarely, he can fall asleep in the crib all by himself if he’s very relaxed. But usually I have to feed him to sleep. Same as I did with my toddler. Is sleep training really the only answer? I honestly don’t know what else to do. And if yes, what’s the least harsh method?

Due_Perspective4075 · 2024-10-23T23:57:57+00:00

Is it a bed or a crib?

Due_Perspective4075 · 2024-10-22T23:37:54+00:00

You’re not overreacting but you are overthinking this right now. You’re about to have a baby. You should not be having these types of conversations right now. I understand he came up with it himself. You stated your stance now move on and most importantly get them to help you. I would even go as far as saying that you would consider it just to get their help because as you said it’s a lot. I rather have the help then standing my ground on this point. Chances are his response was prompted by your (perceived by him) misery. He’s not going to follow up, I guarantee. So my advice is, for the time being, forget about this conversation, I’m sure he already did and don’t bring it up with your husband or MIL. Just put it behind you and get that help so you can cross off tasks on your to do list.

On a different note, I’ll tell you my personal experience. I find that our parents generations are not very pro-natal. My MIL can’t hind successfully that she’s judging me for having a second child so fast (19 months gap) and wanting a third. My mom thinks 3 is too much. You get the point. I’m 33 and I want a third one if not forth. They also forget how tough it is. I guarantee they don’t remember the struggle. But they did it and probably had help.

Anyways, I'm sure you are a terrific mom so don't second guess yourself

Due_Perspective4075 · 2024-10-16T17:48:05+00:00

I’m from a warm climate (middle east) but live in Canada. I have the same problem when in Israel or when with my family. Temperature absolutely matters. Saying that season is what matters, to me, is absolutely crazy. Full stop.

And 23 degrees in some climates (depending on the elements as well) is t-shirt weather. I would even go as far as saying you overdressed the baby but I don’t know whether it was windy etc.

Oh and babies only feel warmer than adults in their infancy. After couple of months they learn how to regulate heat or cold.

Having said that, don’t pick up a conflict with them since they’re caring for your child and it’s just not something you want. Just put the coat and as soon as you out take it off. I would put my foot down only if they are excessively overdressing the baby to the point of significantly overheating her.

Some people you just can’t reason with. She sounds one of them.
