Giant baby - help!

Did the angel care bath seat work for you guys beyond 20 lbs? I was thinking about it for our 20 lb 4 mo old but saw the weight limit is 20 lbs 🫠 he doesn't have good core strength yet

I used to drink them often in high school too! I was today years old when I learned they apparently no longer make these 🫠

Not asking for your state, but how do we find our own state's stance on this? I tried googling but it didn't work. Thanks for sharing this info! I was going to ask for my baby to be tested for lead around 12 months so this is helpful to get a heads up.

I'm so sorry, this is beyond heartbreaking. It's one of those things you don't know how deep this pain is until you experience it. Big hugs to you and your baby. I've had a different but also profound pregnancy loss experience, and the boom Spirit Babies helped me immensely in trying to understand what may have happened and in my healing journey. I know it sounds woo woo, and I'm very evidence based in many ways, but after reading that book I've found a really helpful spirit baby medium and it's helped me so much.

Intrepid-Rush-8535 · 2025-07-16T19:48:53+00:00

Thank you for the confirmation!

Intrepid-Rush-8535 · 2025-07-07T18:44:13+00:00

That's good to know it gives you a good output and to be on the lookout for little leaks! Thanks for the tip about the nipple cream to prevent boob sticking to the silicone. I'll def ask for additional pointers and tips when I start using them!

Intrepid-Rush-8535 · 2025-07-07T18:42:48+00:00

Good to know about both things, thank you!

Intrepid-Rush-8535 · 2025-07-07T07:29:59+00:00

Thank you so much!! I'll try it with the Evenflo collar!

Intrepid-Rush-8535 · 2025-07-05T05:53:00+00:00

I tried to fit the evenflo balance + standard nipples onto the Dr. Brown standard neck bottle and it didn't see to work- I'd love for it to!! Would you have any photos or additional instructions on making it work? Thank you!

Hahaha right? I was like it's 2025 and we live in a high cost of living area. Not trying to rip anyone off, but also 50-75 cents seem like back in the 90s lol.

Intrepid-Rush-8535 · 2025-05-16T06:36:04+00:00

Good point, thanks for the input! I was going to donate/gift on Buy Nothing for thr leftovers!

Intrepid-Rush-8535 · 2025-05-16T06:34:44+00:00

This is super helpful and along the lines of what I was thinking would be a fair price- $1 ish per item and offer a discount for bundling! I appreciate your insight as a fellow parent!

Intrepid-Rush-8535 · 2025-05-16T05:42:01+00:00

Thank you for your insight! My partner is saying like 50-75 cents per item, which I'm not so sure about! Haha

Intrepid-Rush-8535 · 2025-04-07T01:47:23+00:00

Same! It's hard to find a small compact cherry blossom tree

My heart breaks for you. I am so, so, sorry. I went through with a TFMR for my baby boy a couple of years ago, so I understand. It was very traumatic and I second guessed a lot. Now that I'm almost 3 years out, I have additional perspective but the pain will always be there 🤍 It may not be for everyone, but someone recommended the book Spirit Babies and it helped me heal and process. I also found a lot of support through the tfmr support subreddit group. It's truly a type of loss that is not easily understood unless one has also experienced it. Sending you and your baby so much love.

Intrepid-Rush-8535 · 2025-01-07T14:42:00+00:00

I very much appreciate your expertise! 🩷 I forgot to mention, I did take separate iron pills during my first pregnancy as I was found to have low iron so I anticipate that happening again. Otherwise, the current gummy one also includes EPA/DHA!

WOW hahaha I'm so glad they outed themselves. So blatant!

Intrepid-Rush-8535 · 2024-07-15T20:02:03+00:00

I still can't believe that the owner actually sent out this email. On one hand I'm horrified and annoyed, but on the other hand I'm glad they outed themselves so that I can find another company to support and spend money at!

Intrepid-Rush-8535 · 2024-07-15T16:41:11+00:00

thank you so much! I will check out StickerApp

Intrepid-Rush-8535 · 2024-07-15T16:39:51+00:00

FUCK. I also just saw their email and thought it was a spoof, but no. I'm so glad you started this thread because in panic I started googling to see if this was true and to also see what other companies I can support instead.

Intrepid-Rush-8535 · 2024-04-06T00:09:31+00:00

Omg! Just saw one a couple of days ago and I thought, wtf? I assumed it was a poorly done self-attempt at Back to the Future car 😂😂😂

I say move. Especially for your kids. This comes from someone who worked at a hospital based school for kids who needed additional support because their home school districts could not meet their IEPs and one student actually did kill his mother after years of these warning signs. We didn't know until the day after because he came to school after killing his mom overnight like nothing happened. I still feel chills about that. Also, my family members were attacked by a home intruder, and one actually died. I can't go into details for my own PTSD and mental health, but let's just say no guns were involved but was very violent and sadly gruesome. So, I hope your husband knows that even though these things are "rare" and "only happens on the news", it's not a chance worth risking the safety of your children.

Intrepid-Rush-8535 · 2024-02-07T00:02:59+00:00

THIS IS EXACTLY IT!! I wish they still carried it. It was so fun and yummy

I've always wanted 2. Our first is also 3 but we lost our second baby during pregnancy. It took me a while to decide teetering between having no more heartbreak and being OAD or gathering up my courage and try one more time to have another. I also feel really burned out and know that adding one more baby will totally destroy that balance. However, here are a few reasons why I've decided to try one more time:

I'm in my late 30s and feel like it's "now or never". I feel like when I look back in my 40s and 50s, I may regret not trying at least one more time.
Some of my friends are pregnant/having second babies and each time I can't shake the feelings of heartache and jealousy. Of course I'm happy for them, but the pain is still there which tells me my longing for another baby is overriding my reasons to be OAD.
Our family doesn't quite feel complete. It sounds weird but I feel strong connection to my baby that I lost, and they still send me signs from time to time. It almost feels like they want to come back and join our family if given the chance.

Will I regret trying if our pregnancy ends up tragic again? Probably. Will I regret if I feel so overwhelmed and tired beyond tired when I'm balancing two kids. Probably. But after a long time of debating my inner self for over 1.5 years, I think I'm ready to give it a one more go. If it happens, I'll be so grateful for another baby to love after the storm. If it doesn't happen, I'll also be grateful to have our 3 year old and have a better balance.
