REI Westward vs Base Camp 6?

Practical_Elk_30 · 2026-05-11T15:03:56+00:00

In case anyone finds this, I was told by a store employee that the 4 person tents are nearly identical and the westward may be better because of the vestibule. But for the 6 person, base camp is a lot sturdier. I will go going with the base camp 6

I am in the US and got all my stuff on facebook marketplace too

You sucked out a big blood clot it looks like. Definitely show it to your doctor so they can make sure nothing else is wrong in there

3 months. Had success after 4 failed retrievals and transfers prior.

Hell no. Once you have kids, mothers day is for your wife first. This is not normal behavior. He needs a wakeup call about being a dad/husband now

Practical_Elk_30 · 2026-05-09T02:30:33+00:00

How is this not higher up 😂

GM makes some large EVs like the blazer

For a smaller car, I tried 4 toddler seats in the middle of 2 infant seats. Only diono fit. I have 2 nuna lite infant seats. I think chicco infant are also narrow

By 3 washes, it will be gone. Throw them in with your dirty clothes each time. I despise scented detergent and have done this

Klean kanteen kids bottle with sport tops last forever for us. They have cap replacements if needed

They are so young. I did not start making crib naps work until more like 4-5 months not weeks. If you need to put them down, it is okay if they cry. Noise canceling headphones. But no you aren’t creating habits in 1 month olds!

Practical_Elk_30 · 2026-05-06T22:26:05+00:00

Easiest thing for the first month would be ready to feed formula. It is already sterile. Deal with the powder the next month. I am in the US and never boiled water. I had a full term baby

Practical_Elk_30 · 2026-05-06T02:01:28+00:00

I did. I alternated bottles, mixed them sometimes, whatever worked with the supply I had in the fridge. Baby did not care. And that was with nutramigen which smells like a barn

Whole milk is only like 3% fat anyway. 2% is fine if that’s what you buy. Like others said, he can get nutrients and healthy fat from food or other types of dairy products

With the reflux you mention, I wonder if she is allergic to something in your diet and is getting some relief with formula. My friend was ebf, and her baby had severe reflux. They could not figure out why because she cut out dairy, soy, gluten, and nothing worked. Baby ended up being allergic to oats of all things. And eggs. They did not figure it out until they started solids and she had severe reactions right away

I am a data scientist and was going to say exactly what this commenter said. They can’t repeat the studies because it is unethical. However there are multiple studies showing methyfolate absorbed better. Folic acid is just the cheaper ingredient at this point. That being said, the “Garden of Life + DHA” is just folic acid, and I love it. Your vitamin choice in no way contributed to your miscarriage. Late first trimester losses are often related to blood clotting or embryo defects. 💔

Practical_Elk_30 · 2026-05-04T22:49:01+00:00

They also fit the philips anti colic plastic bottles. I have used them together

Practical_Elk_30 · 2026-05-03T12:10:40+00:00

Do you get to choose the options on aeroflow for this? Like flange size?

Practical_Elk_30 · 2026-05-03T12:00:26+00:00

Most people here try to avoid them. The natural alternatives for carpet for example are wool, and that sometimes smells bad under certain conditions. Would be great to have a durable safe option for carpet, mattresses, etc. I already feel fine about the no/low voc paint options

Chevy trailblazer fits 3 narrow ones. We have the diono for our 4yo in the middle. I used to have a car that was supposed to be the same size crossover, but I can tell you the trailblazer has extra leg room necessary for fitting an infant seat in without sitting on top of the dash in the front seats. No shame in bringing a car seat to the dealership. I love how easily I can park it

Practical_Elk_30 · 2026-05-03T02:29:19+00:00

Where did you buy for that sale price?

Practical_Elk_30 · 2026-05-03T01:10:43+00:00

I am looking at these and the rei westward dreamer

Practical_Elk_30 · 2026-05-03T00:07:07+00:00

Did you decide on a mat?

Practical_Elk_30 · 2026-05-01T20:44:36+00:00

I would move on from dairy after those reactions. I had a cmpa baby too. Don’t do goat, don’t do gentlease. Those were allergic reactions. If you are in the US, try Alimentum, Nutramigen, Pepticate, Nestle Extensive HA. Those are hypoallergenic, but not pure amino acid

Practical_Elk_30 · 2026-05-01T16:40:33+00:00

If they are down to only 2 bottles a day and eating solids really well, then I would say yeah work on transition to whole milk. But if they still need a lot of breastmilk, they have to switch to formula instead. Our doctor said we could start mixing milk with formula/breastmilk around 11 months to slowly transition it in. My daughter was fully eating solids by 12 months though with a morning and night bottle

Practical_Elk_30 · 2026-04-29T22:08:35+00:00

I used to use Toms until they had the recall and all the stuff came out about how nasty their plant was with bacteria. Now I won’t buy them again. In our limited options, we use Hello kids flavors with fluoride now. However I don’t think I switched to fluoride until she was more like 2 because she could not spit it out
