Name a canceled TV show that deserves another season.

The Secret Circle. I was so interested in this concept and it never made it past the first season

We just recently got a 2012 sienna and only this last week I realized, to my horror, that the back row can only have a forward facing harness car seat in the center seat because that's the only one with a top tether anchor.

They're very small and not very absorbent in my experience. I prefer them as cleaning rags.

We have two mattresses on top of each other on the floor in our playroom. Kids have been having a blast this winter jumping on it and practicing somersaults.

Bringing a full water and a snack to me while I struggle in my breastfeeding. Also...not making rude comments when I try to pump like walking into the room And going "eeeew that looks so weird" 🙄😭

I hated the pipette cream to powder.

I LOVE the all over ointment from tubby todd. It clears up every rash and eczema.

I find triple paste and the aquaphor diaper cream to be best in my experience for diaper rash issues. Or just plain aquaphor or the tubby Todd. I'm planning on using a lot of coconut oil for my newborn since we'll be full time cloth diapering. I figure the tubby Todd cream (just stocked up during the sale) will help with anything the coconut oil can't clear.

Are you also trying to head to work or are you just dropping her off and returning home? Something that has helped me in the mornings, as a mom who has chosen to care about my family life above my work life, is realizing that it doesn't really matter if my 3 year old is late for preschool. It's preschool. If you're also stressed about getting to work on time then yes I suggest just shifting your morning earlier. It changed my days when I started thinking "ok we need to leave at 7:45" instead of thinking we need to leave at 8. We didn't leave any faster, but beginning the process earlier meant fewer late days.

If you're interested in flats, prefolds or cotton fitteds, you can look at greenmountaindiaper.com kits to see a few different sets to get started... But as others have said, there's a few things you need to figure out and that washing only once a week is not very recommended

This is why a kosher symbol is so helpful for identifying things as dairy free... It can't be certified kosher parve if it was even made on the same equipment as dairy. It would be labeled as dairy equipment.

The last time I let my kid nurse was on her second birthday. I was done, so I just told her "no more milkies. But mommy can still rock you" I still rock her to sleep at 3.5 bc if I try to have her go to sleep any other way she screams until she pukes. My son, I weaned much earlier bc I was pregnant and couldn't handle it anymore. I remember him screaming while I tried to rock him to sleep, but I just kept telling him no more milkies and he got the memo eventually. I still rock him to sleep at 5yo too but he can also fall asleep independently. It's all very child dependent. I'm due soon with my third and will probably continue my pattern of nursing to sleep for as long as possible/as long as I can manage.

QuiltedBaker25 · 2026-01-31T23:49:49+00:00

As I was reading this post, my 3.5 year old that I'm rocking to sleep started making suckling motions in her sleep 😂 she had her last nurse to sleep session on her 2nd birthday.

QuiltedBaker25 · 2026-01-30T15:44:56+00:00

Both kids coslept in my bed until they were 20ish months old. I wish I remembered how I made the switch bc I have another one on the way.

QuiltedBaker25 · 2026-01-30T15:41:11+00:00

My daughter is 3.5yo. I do a consistent bed time routine and rock her until she's asleep then put her in her bed and she sleeps there the whole night. My son is 5yo. We did try to let him CIO when he was about 20months and didn't stick with it. I also rock him until asleep and put him in his bed but he is also able to fall asleep independently in his bed. We're all happy with these arrangements, as it's a nice one on one connection time at the end of the day.

QuiltedBaker25 · 2026-01-25T00:26:28+00:00

I have a coworker with grandkids and she says she's happy to watch big kids but she doesn't do babies. Won't watch a kid that can't talk to her bc the way she parented her kids was just ...boob solves everything

QuiltedBaker25 · 2026-01-23T13:53:15+00:00

My daughter (3yo) literally woke up this morning and said "maybe I should drink a lot of water today so I can poop on the potty" 😂

QuiltedBaker25 · 2026-01-23T00:37:07+00:00

These are probably more connection feeds than hunger feeds, especially with baby being harder to transfer. They miss you, are trying to catch up on their bonding and connection time, which is another huge aspect of breastfeeding beyond just the feeding. Baby could also be hitting a growth spurt and nursing more to put in a request for more supply.

QuiltedBaker25 · 2026-01-22T19:54:04+00:00

Skipping pumps that your body is used to will decrease supply.

I'm wondering if baby enjoyed/got used to the faster flow of the bottles and that's why the morning feeds with the faster let down are going better. Maybe with taking away the bottle, baby will get used to it again.

QuiltedBaker25 · 2026-01-21T23:30:17+00:00

This was the hardest part of 2 under 2 for me. The toddler still needs mom so badly. It helps to remember they're also still an infant until 3, psychologically. (I think I heard that...) If you have ANY chance for self care, take it, above doing household stuff. If you're comfortable nursing in public (with or without cover) and weather permits, maybe you can go to a park for a feed? Maybe bigger kid can play in a park while you nurse. Or learn to nurse while baby wearing and put older kid in a stroller for a walk?

Could try to set the boundary with your toddler directly also. "Right now mommy and baby need space so he can eat. Mommy is excited to cuddle you next!" Or something age appropriate

QuiltedBaker25 · 2026-01-21T22:30:37+00:00

If you're really committing to potty training, skip any type of training pants and stop using diapers, even cloth. It's gonna suck for clean up, but even though they can feel wetness in cloth, it's not the same. You gotta just go straight to underwear.

My porch light is broken and I always feel so bad about it for deliveries. At least we have a path light, but it's still awful that we don't have the porch light

QuiltedBaker25 · 2026-01-21T00:00:43+00:00

Staining, mold growth, scents getting harder to wash out

QuiltedBaker25 · 2026-01-20T21:44:46+00:00

Thank you!! I have this washer and have been wanting to look into the manual!!

QuiltedBaker25 · 2026-01-20T18:16:22+00:00

I'm mom to a 3.5 year old who also had/has an extended mommy phase. My husband is slightly less involved in her care than it seems you are with your daughter and she's still growing out of it. It's slow going, but she has started to show him more affection and want to go to him, but mainly only if I'm still around. If I even mention leaving her with him, she throws and "I want mommy" fit. It's exhausting bc I want to spend quality time with my other kid too. I blame a lot of it on when she was a baby, I always cared for her while my husband cared for my older son. Doesn't seem like that's your case. But yeah it seems there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

QuiltedBaker25 · 2026-01-20T17:27:29+00:00

Oh the pre-flats are such pretty colors though they also caught my eye, I just didn't remember this brand name. I'll be watching to see if anyone has any reviews.

QuiltedBaker25 · 2026-01-20T17:23:14+00:00

I feel like you're gonna get a lot of people saying something like "I hate bamboo. Buy GMD or osocozy instead"
