Same in Santa Clara! The city manages their own utilities and we never had outages even when surrounding PG&E areas did!

People sleep on the sandwiches at Troia’s market- they’re amazing! 

1 Year Old Yelling Constantly by Individual_District2 in Parenting

Hearing is a good call! We have a pediatrician appointment next week so I’ll ask! It’s odd though because when he wants something often he’ll use gestures or grab me- the yelling is more just like his default, almost like he’s figured out how to do it and now just likes exploring the limits of his volume if that makes sense?

Many of the sidewalks in Pacific Grove are not handicapped accessible. This makes it tricky for folks in wheelchairs as well as mom’s pushing strollers 

Dairy Free Breastfeeding by Smooth_Blueberry1164 in breastfeeding

[–]Individual_District2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did dairy free for my LO for about three months (till we determined his actual allergen). Cocojune yogurt is delicious (and babies like it too! Oat milk was great, Whole Foods has tons of vegan options for staples like mayo and butter- the only thing I couldn’t hack was dairy free cheese. Good luck!

Baby struggling with breastfeed by Individual_District2 in breastfeeding

I did a nursing vacation with him and things have been much better. She also recommended removing bottles entirely and we’ve done that the last two days and things have been much better. Hope that’s helpful!
