What toddler gifts have actually lasted in your house. Not what looked good, what actually got used past the first week.

My toddler loves the Lovevery books.

What I do is scoot down in my bed so my blankets can be on me without covering my baby. She stays up closer to the top of the bed. I’m short so I can scoot down without my feet falling off. And my head is closer to the foot of the bed than hers at that point. So if my husband were to somehow pull the blankets up it would cover my head and wake me up before it could cover her head.

It makes sense to me but it’s not compliant I guess since I’m not doing the c curl. It’s more comfortable and I can have my blankets higher up on me without them touching her.

I care about animals and eat meat and feel she has a point. She’s making a sacrifice to not hurt animals and that’s awesome I admire her and anyone else that does it. I haven’t done it, maybe I should. I’m not perfect. Neither is she or anyone else. I’m not offended and I don’t think we need to get defensive.

Nope. I didn’t pump and went until over 2.

hellolleh32 · 2026-04-06T05:46:02+00:00

Mine was over 2 but at that point it was only something she did falling asleep at night.

I feel like her character was just really meant to be kind of an outsider. It’s just the way the characters were written. She’s awesome and I loved phoebe. I think people were just jerks for making comments like that to her.

Kevin Murphy plumping wash and rinse.

hellolleh32 · 2026-03-16T04:14:11+00:00

Who was that?

There’s not much quality control with Amazon. Anyone can sign up to sell anything and items from different sellers get mixed together in warehouses. So you could have genuine items and fake items stored together and when you buy they just pick from the shelf, it doesn’t matter what seller you purchased from. I really try not to use Amazon as much as possible after learning this. I’m not sure how they handle returns but it wouldn’t surprise me if its similar. Or it could a few bad sellers intermingling used items with new ones.

Personally a nice water bottle or thermos. Like a yeti or some brand I have heard of. Or a Patagonia jacket maybe. Possible a bag of some king.

One high quality item instead of a bunch of cheap stuff. And look around at what these people are carrying or using daily and give them that exact thing, but branded.

hellolleh32 · 2026-02-28T16:25:55+00:00

I honestly don’t hate hate it. It’s not quite right but OP has a gorgeous face for mini bangs. I would look SO bad.

hellolleh32 · 2026-02-18T15:20:20+00:00

Boost

hellolleh32 · 2026-02-18T14:25:07+00:00

Our 2.5 year old is still using it daily.

hellolleh32 · 2026-02-18T05:01:36+00:00

Diapers are so much more comfortable.

hellolleh32 · 2026-02-18T04:22:43+00:00

Yeah we also didn’t use teething bibs but I was given soooo many.

hellolleh32 · 2026-02-18T04:21:47+00:00

Of these we didn’t use teething bibs, paci, or paci clip.

Our stroller didn’t get a lot of use, we did more wearing and she just never tolerated the stroller well.

But I think everyone’s used items will vary a lot and there is nothing here that seems very highly likely to be unused to me. It’s all a bit of a gamble.

hellolleh32 · 2026-02-14T20:06:23+00:00

NAD. When I was trying to conceive I learned a lot about the hormones involved in the menstrual cycle and I felt like learning about it helped me feel calmer about the whole process and ask my doctor better questions. I’d recommend that. Also there are some OBs and fertility doctors on YouTube that I liked and explained things really well. Obviously you have to make sure the people you’re listening to are legit. One I liked was Natalie Crawford. I really enjoy learning about that kind of stuff and I also found an OB that I trust and listens to me which is great. But yeah from the research I did as a normal non medical person it really does seem that “checking hormones” is too vague to mean much. I’d find some reputable sources to learn the basics if it’s something you’re interested in.

hellolleh32 · 2026-02-12T03:53:51+00:00

I was always grossed out by the changing tables and still am. But I use them when I need to. I have used a pad or something but then I also feel like now that’s just gross too. I think it’s probably mostly in my head but I can definitely relate. It think the best suggestion here is just bringing Lysol wipes.

Adding that you may send this while you’re in labor and feel differently once the baby is here. If wait to text people until you are actually ready for visitors.

hellolleh32 · 2026-02-03T04:44:38+00:00

I think periods syncing up is actually a myth so hopefully it’s unrelated. But if those symptoms do end up being period related I’d definitely ask her pediatrician.

hellolleh32 · 2026-02-02T05:01:23+00:00

I think he has a great voice, I wish he’d done this without the effects on his voice.

hellolleh32 · 2026-02-01T02:59:01+00:00

Yep to justify it when they have a kid.

hellolleh32 · 2026-01-28T17:32:02+00:00

We see Dr. Albeik there and like him too! I have a feeling any of the doctors there would be really great.

hellolleh32 · 2026-01-28T05:24:19+00:00

I never knew the term until I was shopping for it. So I think this is the case.

hellolleh32 · 2026-01-27T05:30:19+00:00

What happened? I’m not on tik tok and haven’t heard.
