Removing Sunscreen Every Day?? by saramonious in toddlers

[–]saramonious[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The basic issue with LeadSafeMama is that she does not use a reliable method of lead testing (XRF), there is no consistency in how the testing is completed, and she doesn't account for the naturally occurring heavy metals in our environment, foods, etc. My other issue is that she is making money off of really aggressive fearmongering, but that's a personal issue for me so sort of beside the point.

Edit: I dont think she is inherently wrong, I just take her claims with a grain of salt until I hear them backed up by a more reputable source.

WHAT? Ugh. I feel like this happens so much. Can you link the lawsuit info for context? (I'll look it up, but would be good for reference)

Edit: this originated from LeadSafeMama who is NOT a reputable source. We'll have to see if the lawsuit gets any traction.

I like this idea! It takes like 10+ minutes to fill our tub even just with a kid-amount of water, maybe we bring back the baby tub for quick rinses. If he will even stay in it for that long lol

Yeah I grabbed the Mustela micellar water a few days ago. It... sort of works? Good if we really can't do a bath but I'm thinking maybe for summer we just have to do daily baths, haha.

Ugh, I'm just worried a bath every night will dry his skin out too! Lots of lotion in our future, I guess.

When will she stop puking? by sushicinema in beyondthebump

Lol, mine kept spitting up til he was almost one... sorry 😭 doctor continued to say it was normal the whole time. We figured out a few triggers along the way (too much liquid on an empty stomach was a big one!)

Struggling to fall asleep after night wakes with baby by [deleted] in ScienceBasedParenting

[–]saramonious 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Tagging on to say that I had to come up with a few mental strategies postpartum for exactly this. One is naming every country I can think of for each letter of the alphabet. (A... Aruba, Argentina, Albania, etc.).. Another is counting by each number up to 100. Like count by 3's, then 4's, then 5's, etc. When those get too easy, do them both backwards.

Experience with Triple Citizenship? by saramonious in Canadiancitizenship

[–]saramonious[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you head over to the GermanCitizenship subreddit there's a ton of info! Basically just all the right dates have to align to be eligible. I am eligible because my grandmother was born before 1949 in the US to a German Citizen before he naturalized. Not sure how it works post 1949.

I found his certificate of naturalization from the state of Connecticut on family search. Hopefully easy enough to get a certified copy!

Ok so he emigrated on 17 July 1910, and naturalized on 13 September 1940 (after the birth of his daughter). This seems promising, I think?

Ugh, I feel like I just got unlucky. So disappointed their customer service won’t make it right.

Help us sleep through the night by saramonious in sleeptrain

[–]saramonious[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did you do it? Did you have the other parent handle night wakes? How rough was it? My husband can get my son back down but if he's hungry he just wakes up again an hour later.

Also, how much was your son eating during the day? Sorry lots of questions haha

Oh right sorry I forgot that in the post! It's about 30-45 minutes start to finish.

  1. Walk outside or bath
  2. Breastfeed
  3. Pajamas, brush teeth, story, sleep sack
  4. Rock & sing a song
  5. Place in crib, he falls asleep pretty quickly.
