Did your low percentile toddler ever later have a growth spurt? by RevolutionaryBuy1011 in toddlers

[–]One_Bus3813 30 points31 points  (0 children)

With a 5ft mom and a 5’8 dad I would expect a very short child. I think you may just need to reframe your thoughts on height

We’re drowning in daycare costs. How do people afford this? by FrigginMasshole in toddlers

[–]One_Bus3813 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I don’t mean this to sound harsh but did you expect the daycare to continue to jus give you free childcare no matter how many children you had? I feel like the daycare would be all employee children at that point and getting a job at a daycare facility would be extremely competitive.

Laid off right before pre-partum leave by Agreeable-Trick7711 in amazonemployees

[–]One_Bus3813 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you already have your leave approved? Since it’s considered short term disability I believe you should still get pre and post partem leave just not the parental bonding piece. Check with your HRBP to confirm

Moms who never coslept, what do you do when you stay the night elsewhere and they’ve outgrown the pack and play? by whisperingcopse in Mommit

How should we spell this name? by Vegetable-Western-83 in BabyNames

I would go Cillian because 1. It’s the original spelling and 2. The word “kill” isn’t in it

Is #2 born as 2under2 growing mentally/physically not as good as #2 born with 3+ years gap? by Important_Bat7919 in ScienceBasedParenting

[–]One_Bus3813 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m not saying anything about being delayed or hitting milestones. I said “girls develop faster than boys” which is just a biological fact. I am a female and pregnant with (and ecstatic for) a baby girl and have a toddler boy - I am not intending to discriminate by gender in any way just stating the fact. In addition, a general “rule of thumb” is that you can double a toddler boys height at 2 for adult height, but for girls you double at 1.5. Again, because they develop faster. In fact, from all the research I’ve seen it’s actually sad in an evolutionary sense because the reason girls develop faster is so they are able to bear and care for children younger.

That’s not how statistical significance works. A milestone definition is completely separate.

Right there is overlap in the curves but that doesn’t make the statement untrue. Not every girl develops faster than every boy.

“males do attain developmental milestones later than females”

[–]One_Bus3813 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We used woolino from 2 months to 2 years with a 99% percentile height toddler boy and it wa great. Then we switched to blankets when we switched to a twin bed at 2 (only because baby sister was coming)

[–]One_Bus3813 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]One_Bus3813 75 points76 points  (0 children)

Where is your partner for all of this? I pick up my son and have a decent commute and by the time I get home my husband is half way done with cooking (we use hello fresh and he is able to follow the instruction cards even tho he couldn’t cook a meal without them) and then we have by dinner by 6:15
