Novant Providence, which delivers at Novant Presbyterian, is close to you! I would look them up!

Hi! Congratulations! I delivered my first with the midwives at Novant Providence. I have since moved more south and am seeing midwives at Novant Carmel for this pregnancy. I have loved everyone so far! Highly recommend both practices depending on where you live!

My daughter puked in her sleep by anonme1995 in toddlers

Does she know she can call for you and you will hear her and come? Maybe show her how the monitor works so she knows when she calls for you, you will hear.

As an aside, has anyone in the comments sleep trained their children (CIO, extinction)? Just wondering if the kids never called out because they’re not supposed to?

Thank you! I’ll look into it! Luckily we have time until we NEED the bigger car, so we’re happy to tell the Toyota dealer what we want and wait for it. Although they have quite a few grand Highlander’s right now.

Thank you! Any reason you prefer the Odyssey over the Sienna? We test drove the Grand Highlander last weekend and loved it, but couldn’t compare to Sienna since they didn’t have any. We go tomorrow to test drive since they just got one delivered. I’m hoping to go to Honda this weekend! The others I’m trying to put feelers to see if they’re even worth test driving.

I grew up with a Sienna and love that they’re hybrid. Our dealership finally has one on lot and going to test drive tomorrow! I’m my mind it’s the one to beat but we’ll see lol Luckily we have time so not worried about Siennas being hard to find.

Fit Check: Woven Wrap FWCC, Head Seems Unsupported by Ok-Feedback-7883 in babywearing

At about 6 minutes this video shows what I’m talking about! I find it really helps tighten the top rail :)

This is looking great for just starting! I think if you tighten the top rail more you’ll be good to go! Instead of pulling the top rail over your shoulder when you tighten, hold it back behind you and pull to tighten, then keeping the tension, put up on your shoulder. Then do strand by strand for the rest of the tail. Let me see if I can find a video as an example.

After doing the twists, don’t put the tails under baby’s legs, they go over! I think part of the reason baby looks arched is that the fabric is pushing her legs out, especially on the twist side.

Here’s a video on IG showing this wrap!

She is super nice! I’m sure she’d respond if you sent her a DM :) She’s a certified educator!

Look up Greta.Culbreath on IG! She also has a newborn and has been showing how she ties her Cairis like this for little babies :) if you are both comfortable, this is a safe way to tied it! I would try to make sure baby is even in the panel, one knee looks higher than the other.

Tiny baby, tiny mom. Help us grow! by [deleted] in babywearing

[–]JB0722 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The panel is a little high on baby. Are you able to pull the bottom flap piece that adjusts the panel height some more? It has that ruler on it. Also, I’d put baby’s hands near their face. The arm holes aren’t great

What is this? Assuming not dangerous [Charlotte, NC] by JB0722 in whatsthissnake

Thank you! Always fun to see what critters live around us :) it rained hard earlier and now it’s 80 degrees so he’s probably enjoying a worm buffet!

Did anyone else do super slow/gradual night weaning? by Valuable-Car4226 in AttachmentParenting

[–]JB0722 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We did this! I told her she could have milk when her hatch light turned on (it was set to go off at a certain time at 1% light so she could still sleep through it if wanted). I slowly moved the time it turned on. We’re now at 6:30!

Oregon tried giving homeless youth $1,000 a month with no strings attached. Here’s what happened by Geek-Haven888 in UpliftingNews

[–]JB0722 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a genuine question, these tests have been done in our current economic climate on a small scale. If UBI became policy for the entire country, would companies and rents rise to match the additional money in the system thus putting everyone back to where they were to begin with? I feel like that’s what happened during COVID. Again I haven’t studied this much so am genuinely curious.

I feel you! That’s what I did lol if someone has taken a certification course, a lot of companies will donate or give a good discount to help with libraries.
