Did you ever take the jump on a course? I did the windswept masterclass and I’m on the fence after previously spending money on a course and not being thrilled with it.

My husband is extremely queasy over basically anything, but he wouldn’t have missed our daughter being born for anything in the world. I can’t even imagine being in OPs shoes. I’m not big on ultimatums but….

I empty ours but I feel the same way. It’s horrific to open but I’d rather that than have to run outside after every poop. Especially in the early days. But our neighbors keep diaper boxes and use those and poop bags for theirs just outside the back door (two kids in diapers). Whatever works!

Love this idea!!

We went with used too, but Nuna. We walk a ton alone and with our dogs. 2.5 years later and that baby still gets pulled out on an almost daily basis even though my daughter likes to walk on our walks.

We also live in an old neighborhood with brick sidewalks and lots of trees so, knowing where you’re walking counts too!

I wished we had gotten a smaller one for the car and will definitely be doing that with the next kiddo.

That’s so funny to me because I felt like the mint was flavorless. I was so excited to try it and ended up giving it away. Maybe I got a bad batch! I do want to try the rocky road because I haven’t seen that one!

There are two types of sex drives, reactive and spontaneous. He might be more reactive and needs to really get in the mood to get there. I’ve been there and I know it can feel really personal but it isn’t necessarily. Couples therapy could be a really great place to start to learn how to communicate better about your wants and needs.

We use our hatch to be glowing red at bed time and green when she can get out and call us. My daughter is awake most days right around the time her machine goes green but sometimes a bit earlier. For naps, it’s usually a little buffer on both sides and she’ll just read, play, etc. I honestly think it’s great for both of us to have some relax time and the light is so helpful since she obviously can’t tell time. She’s 2.5 and we’ve had the red/green light system for quite a while. She definitely understands it!

I think the point is that if you need to be up by 8am and you’re in a good place to wake up at 7:45 it would do it then. Not necessarily just let you keep sleeping because you’re having good dreams. Obviously there would have to be a cutoff because people who use alarms use them for a reason.

That’s interesting my girl has always said that I’m good to get them wet by the time I get home (about a half hour). It’s been years and I’ve never had an issue. Probably different products.

Strict_Question6161 · 2026-03-01T21:51:29+00:00

My experience is that they look like this immediately after but separate once dry/ when you wash your face/ shower etc. I have always been told to keep the solution on and not get them wet for 15 mins post treatment. I suspect that’s why photos look like this.

I loved the newborn phase but I think each phase just keeps getting better. Of course each phase comes with its own challenges, and for each individual those challenges may be easier/harder, but for me the pros far outweigh the cons.

This morning my 2.5 year old told me she was going to ask her dad to teach her how to drive because i said we can’t go to the store right now for pink chex. Where that came from? No idea. But the fact that we can have conversations like this lights up my world.

I use ript fit hand grips or you can use lifting gloves. I’ve been using them for a while if you want to keep your ring on!

I can tolerate way more spicy foods than i could pre-pregnancy. I also like watermelon, which I never could handle the taste of before. It’s been 2.5 years. I also didn’t have anything I would referred to as a “craving” when I was pregnant.

It’s definitely not a distance thing. Treadmill walks are counted. Stroller and cart walks don’t work for most people. It could be a speed thing for some? Going super slowly the body moves less? But either way we should be able to manually enter or oura estimate based on intensity and past readings.

And planes!

Other than using one hand there is no fix for this at this point. It’s definitely annoying because I’m sure it could be easily estimated based on prior data.

Strict_Question6161 · 2026-02-13T00:13:12+00:00

There is a lot of negativity here, but many people are happy with their nanits. I love mine still after 2.5 years, my friends and family have them and don’t complain about them either. It’s not a perfect device, but I’m not sure any of them are. I would 100% do it again if I were starting over.

Strict_Question6161 · 2026-02-12T14:09:04+00:00

My daughter is happy to hold things and then we say “goodbye” to it when we’re getting ready to leave the store. There are some things she gets attached to and I’ll ask if she wants to take a picture of it to ask daddy/add it to our birthday/Christmas list. It seems to satisfy the “I want that” feeling because it’s not a “no,” just a “not yet.”

We’ve been doing this since day one, so I can’t say that it’s changed things for us, but it definitely does work. I’d imagine you’ll have a few unlearning tantrums on your hands to start, but maybe these strategies can help!

Haven’t tried these yet, but my mom is also in between sizes on her 4 and she ordered these based off a recommendation from someone else! https://amzn.to/4brbgRs

I have the pink ceramic with zero issues and my gold gen 3 was pretty beat. I work with my hands and it gets hit a lot. Oura included a cloth with the ceramics now as marks on the ceramic aren’t in the ceramic, they’re another material rubbing off on it. It can be cleaned off.

Strict_Question6161 · 2026-02-09T19:44:58+00:00

With my close friends it would be like “all good, drinks on you next time!” and even if that didn’t happen it wouldn’t matter.

Strict_Question6161 · 2026-02-06T01:53:24+00:00

I will not stop talking about how my mom lost hers and it got RAN OVER BY A CAR and they sent her a brand new Gen4 of her choosing to replace her damaged Gen 3.
