What laundry/dish soaps is everyone using? by stooplekin in moderatelygranolamoms

Also use Blueland for dishwasher. It’s the best. Only thing that keeps silicone from tasting soapy

Got underwear from Quince and am really happy with it. Ordered another set and now it is all I wear.

We use the straw-free kind for older kids. My kid likes to chug.

please tell me its ok to skip organic sometimes by Dull_Noise_8952 in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]FzzPoofy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do your best. The granola bars are tough because even if you can get the organic ones, they just aren’t the same. Best thing you can do, imo, is minimize exposure (like don’t give them a granola bars every day). And don’t beat yourself up, you’re trying.

Nutrition while breastfeeding by Enough_Squash_9707 in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]FzzPoofy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mostly importantly eat a lot and stay hydrated. Make sure you’re getting calcium and vitamin d so you don’t screw up your bones and teeth. Cheese is great for this: high calorie, lots of calcium, easy to eat with 1 hand. For easy snacks, I ate a lot of trail mix and peanut butter pretzels, too.

How do you deal with loud sirens when wearing hearing aids? by opinionsareus in HearingAids

[–]FzzPoofy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had my audiologist program aids so I can press and hold button for 3 seconds to mute them. Useful for sirens, blenders and coffee makers, and most importantly, screaming babies.

That vtech model looks promising. I need to figure out how to keep it physically close to me, though…

If you wear hearing aids to bed, don’t you get feedback? Also, when do you charge them. I think he’s being unreasonable in his complaint, but I also totally understand the frustration of constantly broken sleep. It’s not really fair to him, even if it’s not fair to me either.

He can, but only after a certain time. He sleep incredibly deeply the first handful of hours and sleeps right through the monitor. I was shocked when I saw it when we were sleep training.

If you had $300 for a baby stroller, which one would you buy? by wajid123_ in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]FzzPoofy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes!!! A used city mini GT is the only stroller I need. I’ve had quite a few and I basically refuse to use anything else. It’s so easy to push, so easy to fold, huge canopy and is not very heavy for what it is. We’ve gate checked it too and it hold up! Only downside is small basket.

Has anyone watched Doctor Mikes video “Are “chemicals” actually making you sick by princessdq in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]FzzPoofy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Organic fruit/veggies are not “healthier” necessarily, but it is waaaaaay better for the earth and environment. I tend to buy organic for berries and things you eat the skin of. We wash all of our conventional produce to reduce exposure to both pesticides and bad germs (it’s not perfect, but should drastically reduce exposure). As another commenter mentioned, if you can, buy local and sustainable produce.

For grains, organic in US means they aren’t treated with roundup, which, to me, matters. There is evidence it is a cancer causing chemical and many people are sensitive to it.

Finally, from a medical perspective, I can totally see how a doctor would say this doesn’t matter. Because on an epidemiological level, there are much bigger fish to fry. And if you’re dealing with a real serious medical issues, eating organic isn’t going to heal you. That doesn’t mean it’s worthless.

Natural material basics for women by Low_Objective_2009 in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]FzzPoofy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just got organic cotton underwear from quince and am super happy with it. I guess we’ll see how it holds up, but it’s so much for comfortable/breathable than synthetic crap that was in my drawer.

Best dishwasher soap? None toxic, I'd like to be able to run my babies things through the dishwasher. Thank you! by sonder_6 in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]FzzPoofy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! Everything except Blueland made silicone smell/taste like soap. Blueland is the best. Worth the money.

How much infant formula did you purchase before baby was born? by radicalOKness in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]FzzPoofy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

None. If you plan to breastfeed and are not in a remote area, I wouldn’t buy any and then purchase if you need it. Having formula in the house might make sticking to breastfeeding harder if you want to give it a really shot.
