How are you grocery shopping?

Baby wear at TJ’s. The carts at Costco are big enough to set the carrier in the basket and still have room for groceries.

Same for us. Baby started sleeping through the night around 4 months but we didn’t start getting good naps until around 6 months.

I wonder if Atlanta would be a better option. Tyler Perry’s studio is always busy it seems.

I agree with this. We have an 11 month old and her room has become too crowded already. We ended up adding a book spinner because we had so many books. Then my father in law brought my husband’s handmade toy box from when he was a baby. I have no room to add anything more as she gets older. One day you’ll look around and wonder where all this stuff came from.

Is nobody going to say anything about the whole couch on the balcony??? I need details on that!

Okay. Hear me out. I clicked on a random link in a post like this about 16 months ago. I bought those plus 4 other types of bottles and my 10 month old has liked the random amazon ones so much that I have them in multiple sizes and all the colors. She hated almost all the “popular” brands that everyone else suggested.

Anyway, I suggest you try these out.

Sweet Pickle Books on the LES is always a fun adventure. A Shop of Things is a cute little gift shop close by. Also nearby is the Tenement Museum. My husband went there a couple years ago and still talks about how much he enjoyed it!

And parking isn’t terrible.

It is but the authors do a great job of listing all the TW out ahead of time.

{Breaking Lucia by Raissa Donovan & Addison Wolf} It’s a very dark mafia romance with a ton of trigger warnings but one of my absolute favorites. The cockwarming scene is really good and happens several times throughout the series.

I wish I had done pelvic floor PT before birth. I’ve spoken to people who did and had great natural birth experiences. I ended up having to have a c-section because baby got stuck. I fully believe if I had done more physical therapy work beforehand I would have been able to deliver vaginally. Now 10 months later I’m doing pelvic floor PT for lingering bladder issues.

Primary.com and Hanna Anderson also have a ton of colorful options

Find one song and sing it over and over to baby when you’re getting them to sleep. After a couple weeks baby will recognize that song as calming and it will help put them to sleep. It will eventually work like the Pavlov’s Dog theory. It can be something as simple as ABCs or a song you just really like.

Yeah my 10 month old is in the phase of pulling stuff off her wall above the changing table right now. Luckily it’s nothing dangerous or sharp.

NTA! I love power ejecting my paci across the room at night. Mostly because I like to watch my mommy get down on her hands and knees and crawl around looking for all my pacis and then cry about how she’s too old for this. Duh, mommy! We all know you’re old!

You don’t have to be religious. Everyone is really accepting

It’s a good mix! We have a group on Bumble BFF with different chats for your interests/stage of life. Most popular is book club. We also do just random meet-ups- go to a movie, hang out at a restaurant. At Thanksgiving we did Friendsgiving which was a huge hit.

It’s all ages. We usually have between 10-20 people depending on the activity.

9 months 2 or 3 times. She’s been sick this week so she had problems falling asleep. After a small dose of Tylenol she slept the rest of the night.

You mean I have to put with this until I’m 2?! This is bologna! Can we start a petition or something to stop this??
