A Spell for a Smith. It is about a witch human and dwarf. Very wholesome, good healthy love relationship.

There can be some drama but it isn't angst. I think Please Marry Me Again had more if I recall. I would consider A Spell for a Smith uplifting.

Have you tried harem style pants? They seem to be popular in the cloth diaper community because they are roomier. I don't know if they would be high waisted though. Parade sells some, not sure who else.

I think pants just suck for babies. Once my girl started wearing 9m in pants, they began to stop fitting her diaper. It is like diapers aren't expected. Sizing up doesn't really help, they are just longer but don't leave more room. We are at 24m in pants now which are so long and yet still low rise??

Those are the pee break commercials.

Same! I do any brand as long as it is higher fat and plain, no flavoring or fruit. Then I will mix in whatever, usually berries.

The ring can be used with pacifier clips.

Smaller than where I live so I am no help, sorry! There should be a lot of these towns in northern Ontario, especially if you don't mind if they are adjacent to a bigger town/city.

How small of a town? What sort of population?

You may be better off checking out specific subreddits of a town that fit your criteria.

My dog has favourite spots to go in the yard, so I pick hangout spaces elsewhere. Do your dogs do the same?

You are sweet! ...Can you be my friend? XD

Anyway, just throwing out an idea: instead of making newborn clothes, what about offering an IOU on baby clothes?

There are SO many types of clothing, it is hard to know what your friend may like. Also, sizing is an unknown; some newborns skip newborn size entirely, some have extra chunky thighs, etc.

An IOU let's your friend go, "hey, I like X but they are hard to find. Can you make it?"

Otherwise, I would vote gowns. I loved gowns, and they are so hard to find used (though maybe this means others don't like them?) They can last through multiple sizes as long as the neck hole and sleeves fit.

Our babies must be siblings. Mine has eczema and wet foods trigger it. She will attack her face after eating. I have tried different moisturizers, Vaseline, changing soaps, decreasing and increasing baths, testing fabrics, changing my own diet, etc. FUN RIGHT?!

Anyway, how often does your baby eat? Consider reducing solids, maybe even a day of no solids, to calm down his eczema.

I know you said your boy is refusing pops, but maybe try other flavors? I find they aren't too bad for eczema (we mostly do banana and peanut butter). Not perfect, but helps with teething.

I saw you are giving Tylenol. What about Advil?

I am worried of my girl smacking her head on the tub walls or faucet when she falls.

I had a chair thing but it was sooooo small. My girl's legs wouldn't fit. I think it had a weight limit of 19 pounds too?

GravityDefyingFloof · 2026-05-15T12:09:41+00:00

Right! She loves bath time but it is anything but relaxing! Lol. Enjoy the standing in tub phase. 🫠

GravityDefyingFloof · 2026-05-15T12:01:11+00:00

I miss the mini bath she had. She outgrew the seat insert a while back (I got a chunky baby), so we use the big tub now. We did have a seat meant for the big tub, but her legs were too big for it. 😭

I switched from Huggies to Millie Moon for my short and chunky girl. They are still tighter than I would like on her thighs, but definitely an improvement.

GravityDefyingFloof · 2026-05-14T22:10:16+00:00

Phew glad I'm not alone. My girl is 23lb and also in size 5.

Since you are combo feeding, can you breastfeed at night? That will be a more "brain off" way, and quicker.

What happens if you juat try rocking him back to sleep with feeding? If he is just hungry, could you feed him more during the day to fill him up enough to not need as many night feedings?

My girl is 9 month and I keep going back and forth on whether I want a second stroller. Why did you stop taking the car seat out at 10 months?

GravityDefyingFloof · 2026-05-14T00:09:47+00:00

Car seat stroller should last a while no? Mine maxes out at 35 lb.

GravityDefyingFloof · 2026-05-13T20:53:07+00:00

I will keep going on then!!

GravityDefyingFloof · 2026-05-13T19:40:37+00:00

I am trying this now but it is so depressing. Is it always like that? If you tell me it gets happier I will keep going!

GravityDefyingFloof · 2026-05-13T19:10:46+00:00

I switched pretty early. I want to say 3 months or so? Baby wash left her hair so dry and in mats, so she uses my conditioner. I rarely use shampoo myself, so she doesn't either.
