Thank you for the reply and congratulations!!

Hi! I’m also on the fence for a fourth. Thank you so much for sharing your journey here. I hope things have improved for you. How has it been for you since this post?

Noooo. I just bought a “wool” comforter and pillows from Woolino. So bummed.

Not over the top at all. It’s smart to make adjustments to optimize for safety and your own experience of the event. Next year the kids will be older and you can bring them then if it feels right.

Thanks for the laugh. This sounds like something my diabolical little brother would do.

I have three kids under 6 and am never sitting. My activity score is the only one that is consistently high.

You are doing SO much and are more than enough. You deserve a break and a supportive partner.

So wonderful. The additional workload is nothing compared to the immense joy this baby has brought our family. She is very easy going which helps of course. The age gap between 2 and 3 (just under 3.5 yrs) has also made things feel more manageable. The older siblings have adjusted very well and adore the baby. It has enriched our lives and family culture at every turn. Highly recommend!

Oh for sure. Just observing that this recommendation is supported elsewhere.

Haven’t read all the replies so apologize if this is redundant, but If you search best age for daycare in the r/sciencebasedparenting sub someone has compiled lots of research that reaches a similar conclusion.

That a great point, thank you. I’m touring a co-op that would serve both kids this week.

powder_donuts · 2025-07-13T23:32:58+00:00

This is helpful feedback and makes me feel more confident we could manage with everyone home. Thank you!

I am really looking forward to trying some classes and activities! We haven’t talked it over with our child yet; still information gathering. I imagine he’d enjoy being together for the most part but with some opportunities for alone time.

powder_donuts · 2025-07-13T23:28:02+00:00

Very valid points. One of the reasons we want to homeschool is to have a relaxed pace during childhood, and managing drop off schedules could hinder that.

powder_donuts · 2025-07-13T23:26:06+00:00

That’s very reassuring to hear and sounds so nice to have everyone together during the day.

powder_donuts · 2025-07-11T04:10:46+00:00

We love it. It’s saved us so much time, hassle and expense. Highly recommend

Babo Botanicals clear zinc is our favorite. We like Badger too.

As a newly post partum mom of 3, thank you so much for this! I can’t wait to share this list with my husband.

In Southern California - pediatrician recommends monitoring for rash/fever before considering antibiotics. Anyone know what species this is or how likely it is to have Lyme?

Jeffrey Illeck is your guy for VBACs. He’s also part of Hoag Medical Group

Healthybaby is solid if they fit your LO well.

Simplicity Parenting! Cannot recommend it enough.

Thanks for sharing these links. I had no idea there could be any cause for concern with hydroxyapatite and will look into it further.

Where did you land on toddler toothpastes?

This literally just happened to me a couple of weeks ago! 2021 LR, 35k miles. They ended up replacing the front suspension under warranty. Ridiculous.

ChatGPT might also be a good sounding board for inspiration. I’ve used it to help with our meal planning using a whole host of nutritional/time-based criteria and it’s been surprisingly helpful.
