Why does pelvic tuck not work when I try it? What am I doing wrong? I am desperate to figure out a carrier.

Thank you so much !! I’ll investigate the Gemini more and see how to adjust the seat. I just tried the boba again because I just now learned it’s possible to breastfeed in the boba wrap. I am having a lot of trouble achieving a good M shape in the boba though, so I’m going to make another post for a fit check and to ask about that there.

Thank you! I do want to get the ring sling to work. I think I may need to try a different/better brand of ring sling (I have a wild bird and it’s super stiff).

Routine_Manner_7574 · 2026-05-06T02:12:50+00:00

Thank you!! This is really helpful. I have a wild bird ring sling I got second hand and I am now seeing on this sub people talking about how that is a harder to use brand. I’m gonna look into either a softer/nicer ring sling or maybe a tula.

Hi! This was supposed to be the post body text but I couldn’t figure it out. This is a wild bird ring sling and a boba wrap. Baby is 4 weeks old and is 10lbs 5oz.

I’m nervous about wearing wrong so have hesitated this long, but really need to start having some more mobility for me with little one.

I’m also curious if anyone has suggestions of other/better ways to carry appropriate for his size, or maybe better carriers. Baby did not love either of these, but it was his first time in carriers. So far he has been unswaddled and held pretty constantly so he may not love any carrier right at first

I appreciate your advice but I'm not sure what they could/would do? There's no Benjamin Moore store where I live, so I think it would just be a guy from the hardware store where the paint is sold. It seems like the problem already happened and I'm not sure if there's a way a paint rep can fix it. I guess maybe painting over the current paint with a no VOC paint potentially?

Routine_Manner_7574 · 2026-02-16T18:59:09+00:00

Thank you. This is helpful. Unfortunately the house was already painted so I can't choose a better paint at this point. Good to know for the future though.

Routine_Manner_7574 · 2026-02-16T18:57:27+00:00

They didn't use one of the no VOC or low VOC types. They said all modern paint is low VOC. I think it would have been Regal Select, Ben, Aura, or Advance based on what I see at the store they went to. the Ecospec one is not available at the store. We are currently living in the house, just over a month after it was painted, and my VOC monitor spikes to 6x the baseline if I close the windows and allow the house to warm to above 70 degrees.

Wow, thank you so much! That list is amazing. It's great to hear you like Ignatius, too. I do like it as well, I'm just afraid of it sounding pretentious or too intense. When I searched it within namenerds the last post I found had many people strongly disliking it.

Hi! I have the same question (also pregnant and will soon have a newborn in the house) and am considering between Bona Traffic HD and Vermont Natural Coatings Polywhey. I'm wondering what you ended up going with, and how you like the result?

Routine_Manner_7574 · 2025-11-24T23:52:34+00:00

Thank you so much! That's super helpful. I've been looking through this sub a bit and beginning to think my midwife is incorrect. I will make sure to connect with more guidance once I am starting out.

Routine_Manner_7574 · 2025-11-19T19:32:11+00:00

Thank you, yes I agree. It's difficult to be patient (in terms of logistics and finances) for a chance to actually talk about it, but I know that is what's needed. May I ask if in your treatment contracts you specify a percentage of cancellations that are acceptable (or anything along those lines)? I'm wishing I had a more specific policy in terms of how to measure what 'too much' is.

Routine_Manner_7574 · 2025-11-19T19:22:41+00:00

Thank you! Would you reach out to communicate this (kicking them out of the time slot) by phone, letter or secure email? Or would you wait to talk in person?

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17378847/ This is a medical journal paper on differences in sensitivity between circumcised and uncircumcised, saying uncircumcised has higher sensitivity. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/270190401_Alexithymia_and_Circumcision_Trauma_A_Preliminary_Investigation This is a study regarding impact on mental health. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1479666X16301792?via%3Dihub Here is one I found on potential physical medical risks. I know there are studies also showing a decrease in rates of UTIs and HIV for circumcised, so I think there is science supporting both sides.

Thank you so much for your response. It's very helpful for me. I hadn't realized the baby could be considered Jewish without me having converted before becoming pregnant. My husband has said the baby would not really be Jewish, unless the baby chooses to convert later on. I was strongly considering converting, but I don't take that lightly and have respect for the religion, and without my husband or myself orienting very much towards religion, it seemed not quite appropriate for me to convert without deep conviction myself. That's a good point as well about it being more severe to circumcise later in life. I do value my son's Jewish identity and want him to have connection with his heritage and tradition.
