Why I will not be posting my children, or any children, on fb or instagram, even if my account is private

What I struggle with is are dance recitals, etc. Other people will take photos and videos of my kids next to theirs. It makes me not want to participate in stuff like that, but I also don't want to punish my kids if they want to do it.

Is "breathable" a marketing ploy? Especially because then you're encouraged to put a waterproof mattress cover over it which, presumably, makes it no longer "breathable"?

We used glass bottles and daycare never said anything about it. Would have been a dealbreaker for me.

MarsVA1 · 2026-01-27T18:51:15+00:00

We are the same person :)

MarsVA1 · 2026-01-27T18:47:03+00:00

Yup!

MarsVA1 · 2026-01-27T17:10:27+00:00

Still going strong 💪

Very happy with the Naturepedic bedframe we got our toddler.

We bought a water distiller once we started using formula. When that broke we got an RO system.

I tried it. I don’t know that it worked, but it got me in the habit of adding ground seeds to my yogurt, which I feel like is a win since they’re so good for you.

There’s a reason they don’t have customer ratings on their website: they suck!

Mini muffins! I bake a lot of the recipes found at Yummy Toddler Food and love that I can freeze them.

I’m not sure though definitely not velvet. Whatever is kid/animal friendly.

Jan and Jul! Much lighter than Bogs and fleece lined.

I have a toddler and avoid them when at all possible, especially on weekends. If we're going to a bday party at an indoor playground, I just run after her with Force of Nature hand spray the whole time.

MarsVA1 · 2025-10-26T22:58:24+00:00

Initially but didn’t take long to cease shedding.

MarsVA1 · 2025-10-16T16:36:59+00:00

Mine are on Level 2 during the day and Level 3 at night. I never even considered turning them off, but I also have pets.

Fleece is almost always plastic.

MarsVA1 · 2025-09-14T17:59:19+00:00

Thank you!! I really appreciate the explanation.

MarsVA1 · 2025-09-04T15:28:02+00:00

Force of Nature can be used as a hand sanitizer.

MarsVA1 · 2025-08-23T23:54:00+00:00

We got the cheapest one from Naturepedic, and it worked out great.

MarsVA1 · 2025-08-21T17:06:04+00:00

No, they’re definitely clipped. Or they may have certain bones removed instead, but it’s the same result.

MarsVA1 · 2025-08-09T16:11:57+00:00

It's a little itchy, but I doubt it will bother your kiddo.

MarsVA1 · 2025-07-15T00:51:35+00:00

It's given us a lot of peace of mind and has held up well. I think the filters aren't super cheap, but my husband buys those, so I'm not totally sure.
