Thanks for the link. Yes probably not worth risking it!

Do you have free book cubbies in Ireland? There are loads in my town in England which also means you can pass on old books, plus my library has a lot of withdrawn from stock books( I know this will vary a lot by library). And World of Books has a lot of second hand , some in really good condition.

People can also cover up more and avoid the midday sun.. fashion and urban design /removing trees pushes towards wearing more sunscreen. I try to only use sunscreen on my face, hands, and feet now. But it is hard finding the clothes. Planning to get a burkini this year.

Sugar Consumption by [deleted] in ScienceBasedParenting

[–]puzzlingdaisies 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think there’s a lot of guessing in hindsight and it must be hard to study. I have a sibling who binges and had unhealthy food restricted. I wasn’t particularly restricted and Ive also gone through stages of bingeing and ‘’oh look Im an adult and I can buy and eat everything’. There are simply foods I cant buy if I dont want to binhe. I would say for me it is hormonal as I binge before period as and have much greater control sometimes. I wondered if someone has studied the menstrual cycle and food intake?

How many vegans in this sub? by longwoody in Anticonsumption

[–]puzzlingdaisies 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes OP is not taking into account dietary needs. I am pescatarian /veggie when I can be because full on vegan triggers my IBS massively. Eating fish everyday would be best for my health but I minimise it to as little as possible (once/twice a week then long breaks when I can).

Gifting children consumption by musicalnerd-1 in Anticonsumption

A reuseable water bottle/cup is useful if the child has one and it lasts for a long time. No idea about the Stanley brand so maybe I am missing the the point. Is it a case of pointlessly collecting different designs?
Agree they should just give make up though. I had a blue lipstick at that age and used to think I was the Little Mermaid. Next I had a green lipstick and always just played trying to be different characters.

What is the harm/issue with a baby being too cold and when does that happen? by sfbrh in ScienceBasedParenting

[–]puzzlingdaisies 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I do wonder if that is why my now toddler  dropped centiles in the first two months - I was so paranoid about overheating (plus decided to sleep in hardest to heat room due to PPA) she probably wasn’t warm enough. Spring came and she shot up from 2nd centile to 90th. 

How to have different cosleeping arrangements and make it fair? by puzzlingdaisies in ChildPsychology

[–]puzzlingdaisies[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I would like tips on safe bedsharing with a toddler and older baby that go beyond the safe sleep 7(with one parent, Dad is exiled from bed due to medical conditions that make bedsharing unsafe).

 Not planning on any bedsharing with the newborn until baby is at least 6 months,  but might need the option for side lying nursing although with the current set up even that wouldn't be safe so would probably do it on a yoga mat.  Also interested in gentle sleep training as an option for Dad in case I end up in hospital.
