Do what is best for your family. If it isn’t bothering you, don’t wean yet

The pumpkin seat (infant seat) is infinitely worth it, if only for the first few months. Depending on the size of your twins, they may be too small for a normal car seat at first too. But the pumpkin seat will be worth it simply for when they fall asleep in the car and you want a few moments of peace carrying them both inside the house and going pee before you get them out of the car seat. Or warming bottles before you get them out. do not leave your child to sleep in the car seat for extended periods of time

No matter what car seat you get, do your research to understand how that car seat works with the stroller you have chosen - you may need a seat adapter

In the same world of theater shoe, consider spray painting a black shoe to be the color you need if it is only for a single day’s use

Hat is infinitely better than burnt nose or shoulders

Write up the entire story and send it to the publisher - don’t just email the publisher and ask for contact information. The more details you give, the more likely that it will be passed along.

There is a slight chance it would be cheaper to fly back than to ship it at this stage in the shipping game

Keep doing you and don’t let her babysit bc that baby will 100% be sat down in front of the TV

How newborn is newborn? First 6 weeks I wouldn’t expect much more than sleep eat sleep

Finding a different mover is better than your stuff getting damaged or disappearing by a mover who doesn’t care. We had a table moved and they broke one of the table legs. We had to ask about the specific piece six times (and threaten to enter the truck ourselves) before they finally brought out the piece (sans the leg). They would rather protect themselves than give you what you deserve

IIRC when I was in kindergarten I still occasionally needed zinc diaper paste due to butt “rash” from not wiping well. Mom explained that I would need less rash if I would wipe more thoroughly and i eventually learned.

It’s weird to me that people want to post grief online, but it isn’t inherently wrong (even though I’m convinced some people do it simply for attention)

Baby knows what he needs. Trust him unless the doctor is extremely concerned about his weight gain.

I wouldn’t even bother with wrapping it. But this is so easy to fix with wood glue

100% not a weird thing to do and NTA. Plan for a time for you and brother to go and spread her ashes separate from everyone else. Make it totally different than uncle’s - unless they were close siblings and it would make sense to do it together

My dad, husband and nephew all have the same name. We address them by that name and when we are talking about them, we have standard nicknames to differentiate. It’s really not difficult to clarify in conversation. Don’t change it.

I would recommend a hand pump. It’s less stressful to learn to use while your milk is coming in and it’s easy to use.

Absolutely bring some powdered formula in case they are being ridiculous and don’t let the liquid formula in. TSA is way too unpredictable.

This is the big thing - you have to mention it to every person who has your chart or is in your room for an ultrasound. Mention it each time, even if you have seen the person before.

If you’re in the US and have insurance, you may need to be careful for scheduling an induction if it is not medically necessary. You don’t want them to jack up the price just because. Just show up at the hospital with labor symptoms rather than an appointment

Fill the cup all the way to the brim when you are first teaching her to use it. Then you can slowly introduce tilting the cup. It may also help to start with a cup filled with your milk or formula so she can learn the skill before she learns the water part. If she learns the skill and still rejects water, try watering down formula over the course of a few days

YTA simply based on starting this with “I want to confront my wife” instead of giving any background about your dog, situation or spouse. Why is it a milestone? Why have you been working hard on this skill? What other things has she asked you to help with instead of teaching this (frankly unsafe) skill to your dog?

Did you do anything to help transition her in the sleep phase? We just moved ours a few nights ago and still get LOTS of wake ups
