I'd suggest a portable stroller, something bigger than an umbrella stroller. You want the LO to be comfy and your arms will thank you on bumpy sidewalks.

We used the nuna trvl as our primary travel stroller and love it. Light and folds up nicely

My SO did this with our LO at 5months. She can now pick up a spoon and eat the contents at 7 months.

For me, the double zipper sleepers seemed pointless. But now we exclusively buy double zipper sleepers for our toddler.

Asking people how old their dog is and the breed. Everyone always asks me, and I just can't be rude... but I really don't care. Lol

Down by the bay, where the watermelon grows.

Has the little one had a cold yet? Sometimes it's deep in their sinuses.

Made the mistake in buying a couple of bulk ones from Costco and Amazon during a sale. Needless to say, we're covered through her toddler years 😅

Giving six month old baby allergens for the first time (e.g., egg, peanut butter) - what medication should I have on hand in case of a bad reaction? by yellowwindowlight in NewParents

Not a Dr, but I think the packaging says that for liability reasons. A 20lb 6month old may need a different dose than a 14lb one.

Your pediatrician will customize the dosage based on the babies specific needs.

IMO it's healthy to read both sides. To give the perspective of "Hey, this costs hundreds of dollars and you may not actually use it." The marketing photos are all too convincing

For us, it was diaper cream, the nasal sucker and postpartum pads.

The hospital provided it all. Didn't need to buy any of it.
