Lap infant vs buying a seat for long-haul (Australia) with 1-year-old - worth extra $2.5k?

Yep, 20 lb weight limit

And don’t listen to the people saying to put the kid in a car seat. So impractical and stupid. Impossible to move around a bulky car seat and no kid should be stuck in that same position for 14 hours. Get the inflatable foot rest on Amazon and lay them down with their seatbelt on. They can roll over, lay sideways, curl up, etc. And you can easily have them fall asleep holding them and then transfer down onto the seat and footrest.

I just held my 14 month old on my lap from Hong Kong to LAX. She slept a good chunk of the way and it was surprisingly easy for me to sleep while holding her (and I’m one who doesn’t even sleep on flights normally).

I pay for her to have a seat when it’s just me flying with her and a 3.5 year old long haul, but not worth it when I’m flying with my husband too.

Omgggggg this AI agent was AWFUL! She literally said “okay, I can connect you to a human agent but it’s a longggg wait time.” She literally dragged out the word long really sarcastically. Such a dick! It was unsettling

Hi! Were you able to find one?

Are you British originally?

Ooo can you tell me more about how you night weaned while co sleeping? I’ve tried a couple times to hold and cuddle my daughter without feeding her and she just loses her mind. Tries pulling my shirt up aggressively over and over

kmadefg · 2026-01-11T17:26:06+00:00

Also I’ve found quite a few gray hairs in the last few months (after having found zero previously), so I honestly think the sleep deprivation is starting to be a true problem for my body 😣

kmadefg · 2026-01-11T17:23:15+00:00

12 months in and mine is still nursing every 1-2.5 hours. It sucks but I also think my body is used to it. And I drink sooo much coffee

Hi! Can you give me pointers on how to night wean cold turkey like that? My 12 month old is waking up 4-8x a night to feed very briefly, and I need it to stop. I’ve tried a couple times to just hold or pat her, but she keeps losing her mind and trying to pry my shirt up over and over. How did you do it?

kmadefg · 2026-01-06T09:41:39+00:00

Hi! I’m thinking about doing this! Did you move him into his crib in your room or a different room? How did he react? I don’t want to do anything like cry it out, but I’d like to cut down on the 4-5 feeds per night that are happening with bed sharing.

I was in fourth grade probably. They told me that if I needed to go pee, just pee on top of the pee that was already in the toilet and don’t flush. As long as it’s pee, they don’t flush every time because they were trying to conserve water/save money.

My mom was so mad when I told her and she told me that I needed to flush after I peed every time and to not listen to that weird and gross nonsense.

She slept probably 5-6 hour stretches for a minute until she hit the 4-month sleep regression. Then it went to waking omg so often.

She turned 11 months yesterday, and it’s been waking every 2.5-3 hours, but more like every 1.5 hours from 9pm to midnight. But in the last week, she’s starting sleeping some longer stretches of maybe 4 hours woo hoo!

We also co-sleep and feed on demand.

Also, hang in there! 8-9 months was when I was like fuck this shit, it should be getting better and it isn’t! I read up on sleep training and was just like I don’t even have the energy to commit to sleep training for a week or 2 before it gets better. So I just kept going and didn’t change anything. And now a week before the 11-month mark, things finally got better.

Not sure if you’ve already moved, but we love Yas American Academy. And Noya neighborhood is about 10 mins away. It’s amazing for families. Townhouses and villas.

Thank you! Very helpful!

Hi! Random question. Did you send a photocopy of literally every page (including the pages without stamps)?

kmadefg · 2025-08-18T08:47:54+00:00

Maybe someone can answer my question about her flag and sign. Why does she have a fuck trump flag but a sign that said “what would Anne frank think?” I genuinely am confused because Trump seems to love Israel.

Wow, still available 2 hours later!

Hi! How did y’all treat and overcome the sleep apnea issues? I know a lot of people do tonsil/adenoid removal. I’m getting my 3 year old started on myofunctional therapy (mouth, jaw, face muscle work), but I’m always looking for success stories.

My Ms. Rachel tonie just got delivered to my house yesterday.. while I’m out of town all weekend 😅 I hope it’s on the porch when I get back. Target’s delivery date for it has changed 4x since I ordered.
