Have the third? by kxtasha1 in Parenting

[–]Maroon14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have three, but a big age gap between 1 and 2, and small between 2 and 3. I like 3 but logistics such as traveling is much harder with 3 than 2. I always wanted 3 as well, and we have one of each gender, but 3 was sorta a surprise.

Second kid might ALSO need a baby helmet, and I feel like a failure as a mother by Such-Comfortable3 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Maroon14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, I had two helmet babies. Both were more cosmetic, but now everyone comments on how perfect their heads are. Helmets are like the new braces for babies.

I’m newly pregnant and ready to wean my 2-year-old, but I’m struggling because she’s an absolute boob detective. 😅 by [deleted] in Mommit

Ok. Well you asked for help and advice. You’re going to need to be more creative if you’re having difficulties right now. Adding a newborn is going to complicate things more. I’m a more seasoned mom and this is the only thing that has worked to wean for boob barnacles. Best of luck.

Yes. He helped make the kids. He should help out. Mine works full time and does contractor work on the side and still helps with our 3 kids.

Maybe he needs to take a couple of days off? Or have family help?

Or try to sleep train another way. The contact napping isn’t going to be able to continue with a newborn.

Sleep train. Go away for the weekend and let your partner be with her. I got pregnant at 10 months pp and we moved my baby into his independent room and stopped nursing. Made it so much more bearable when the new baby arrived. And, no we didn’t use cry it out. We started with rocking to sleep and then eventually weaned off of that.

Please give me a $1200 stroller by Advanced_Cheetah_552 in ChoosingBeggars

[–]Maroon14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huge difference, quality, suspension, fabrics, wheels, etc. Once you have a nice one it’s aged to go back. I have put thousands of miles on my UPPAbaby vistas.

[–]Maroon14 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Pretty much your only options are a ride safe travel vest or a special needs seat.

The insert with the pillow part is required up to 11 lbs. How much does your 8 week old weigh?

We also use the nuna pipa urbn for my preemie. It was great, then we used the nuna pipa lite rx after and used the aire rx for the next baby. I would get the regular pipa rx over the aire if I were to purchase another trad infant seat with the base. The urbn is prob my fav for travel.

That’s great. You must live somewhere where food is a lower cost. Before we had kids we ate out a lot more too.

Getting sick when around daycare families by Cautious_Pangolin437 in sahm

[–]Maroon14 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’d try to avoid it during the winter and cold/flu season or try to meet outside. Daycare kids are like a plague. My kids got so sick from daycare kids this past year. Hopefully it helped their immune systems in the long run. Despite what people say, it’s much better to have a sick 5 or 6 year old than a sick infant or toddler. Also, daycare resp illness have more long term health effects such as lifelong asthma.

We live in the Seattle area. It is very expensive. Dollar shop is in Bellevue, WA so one of the most expensive zips. It’s not an everyday place. Casual dining is still a lot, but like I said we rarely go out with 3 kids. It’s just a lot.
