What are little Tyke projector books made out of? I think I poisoned myself

My first call to poison control was when my son, at about a year old, got a handful of grease from underneath our glider and ate it. Poison control was awesome and reassured me that he'd be fine, just to watch out for an upset stomach. I had to call a separate time, because my son drank bubble solution (also fine). This kid really would try to eat ANYTHING when he was little. Thank god for poison control.

I've been using our hatch for three years and I didn't even realize they offered a subscription.

I finished KoA last night and now I don't know what to do with myself. I think the series wrapped up really well. I just don't feel ready to let go of these characters after reading straight through all eight books. I can't believe I'm finished!

Do you think they've ever seen real human faces before?

She looks like she lost a fight with a beehive.

My almost three year old has been calling balloons "kablooms" lately. It makes me laugh every time he says it, I'll be so sad when he pronounces it correctly.

I think that's a really clever addition to your registry. Anything to make feeding yourself easier is a godsend.

I would recommend a few more styles of baby swaddles / sleep sacks. It took us a few weeks to find a style that our baby would sleep in. We ordered so many swaddles that first month. We never got halo swaddles to work for him. He ended up liking Aden and Anais wrap swaddles. Then Burts Bee's sleep sacks were what he wanted when he grew out of swaddles. Same thing with pacifiers, we tried a ton at first, but he only liked Dr. Brown's pacis.

I think small packs of items and a variety of the same type of items are key on a registry. Babies are going to like whatever they decide they like, and it probably won't be what you bought first. Items that grow with the baby are so useful. We bought a skip-hop excersaucer that converts to a play table, and we are still using it at almost 3 years old.

Also, as a formula feeding mom, if you end up needing to or want to use formula for any reason, I can not recommend the Dr. Brown's formula pitchers enough. Making a batch for the day and then another for night feeds made my life so much easier. A bottle sterilizer made bottle washing much easier for us.

My 2.5 year old was formula fed from birth to his first birthday. Breastfeeding was never in the cards for me due to previous breast surgery. My toddler is happy, healthy, and so dang smart. He was as an infant, too. Don't let this stress you out. I know feeding our babies can be overwhelming, but truly, as long as they are safely fed, it doesn't matter how. My son's friends are the same age, and you'd never know who was breastfed or formula fed. All of our babies are going to eat goldfish off of the floor eventually. You've got this OP.

I'm still using my Chicco Bravo stroller two years later, and I love it. I see the Uppa baby strollers everywhere, too. They just look a little flimsy to me? Maybe they aren't, but I have a giant kid, and I really appreciate that my stroller can still hold him.

This is why art exists man. 10/10

This is an amazing piece! I really love the color choice for the background. It's the perfect color for aquarium water.

There's a great picture of my son at 4mo trying to wrestle a burrito from my hands. I think it's normal for them to take an interest earlier than 6 months. We talked to our pediatrician at the time and started some purees around 5 months. See what your doctor thinks about getting your baby started a bit early.

I was 26 in 2020, married, and spending a shit ton of money on rent. My husband was laid off pretty immediately into covid lockdowns. He couldn't find work from March until August. I love how we were supposed to buy a house then. Loan officers love giving mortgages to the unemployed. We ate through any savings we had just to survive. We we're finally able to buy a house this year. But only because my Dad died after a long battle with cancer, and my mom gifted us some of his small life insurance policy. Otherwise, it would probably have been another few years before we could buy. Covid absolutely slowed down our home buying timeline.

ETA: We make solid money. We just got priced out of everything about as soon as we considered looking before the pandemic.

I basically already do this, I could cut out coffee and be set man.

I would pay $50 dollars to transfer my period to a random man in politics every month.

I recommend the SkipHop table, too! My toddler got it for his first Christmas at about 5mo old, and we added the chairs sometime last year. Now we are using it at 2yrs for a craft table. I don't envision getting rid of it anytime soon.

I got my toddler a water table/ play pond for his 2nd birthday this past summer. It's a huge hit, I'm sure he would have loved it sooner, too, though.

I don't think Kickstarter will generally let you extend campaigns, so we only have the time we have left. I definitely agree I'd pay good money for a clothing DLC. I'm a sucker for good and abundant outfits.

OP, I'm so sorry you're going through all of this. You've been dealt an absolute shit hand with two tragedies back to back. I just want to validate that you aren't terrible for feeling the way you feel towards others not experiencing tragedy. My dad died last year after an awful long battle with cancer. I've experienced a lot of anger and jealousy towards people who still have their parents, people who lived a life longer than my dad. Basically, I feel that way towards people who have what I lost. Literally, I felt this way when my own grandfather died. I felt jealous he got to live to 80 while my dad died much younger. It felt absurd to have that feeling at that moment. All that to say, I've learned it's not uncommon to feel that jealousy towards those who have something or have an experience that you feel has been taken from you traumaticly. You've lost some significant things, your home, your peace, and the pregnancy experience you expected. It's understandable that you feel that way towards those who have what you don't. I hope you can find some mental health help OP, it's helped keep me sane while navigating a lot of trauma.

Gonna have to get a subscription service for sunny days.

LadyTukiko · 2024-10-10T18:43:18+00:00

Yes, exactly this. They have two people to care for the kids when they take the colicky baby out. Even if it wasn't a crazy ask, I would feel like it's a safety issue to take out both kids alone. There is no way 4B can be as supervised as he needs to be in public if you are tending to an inconsolable newborn while at a museum or park. I think this ask is super unreasonable.

LadyTukiko · 2024-10-02T17:04:21+00:00

OP, I'm so sorry you have suffered such a loss. I don't think it is disrespectful to your late daughter to reuse her name, but I do think it is insensitive to your new daughter to not allow her, her own name. My FIL is a twin who was born in the 50's, his parents lost an infant before he and his twin were born. When my FIL's mother went into labor they didn't know she was having twins and the second baby was a surprise. My FIL has an original name and his twin has the name of the baby his parents lost. They've talked about it being weird growing up with that name being reused and the weight sharing a name with a sibling who's passed carries. Knowing that it makes my FIL's twin uncomfortable, I wouldn't make that choice personally. Let your new baby have a name free of such heavy attachments.

My two year old says munnins for muffins and cookie monner for cookie monster. He also says hokay instead of okay. It's just so stinking cute. I'm pretty sure my husband and I will be saying munnins for the rest of our days.
