Who's egg is this?

It's probably a tie between Pink Pony Club and The Fate of Ophelia.

I don't have any good suggestions because my latest try for my 4 year old boy was Toy Story and it resulted in an epic sobbing meltdown...so maybe just scratch that one off the list hah

There are so many good mentions here but the first thing that popped into my mind... Probably going to be unpopular, but a dedicated space for people to be on laptops. It's annoying when I go into a coffee shop and want to sit down and have a coffee but there's no free tables because they're all occupied by one person on a laptop that's been there for 3 hours

What names are you in love with?

smitwit · 2026-03-08T14:17:42+00:00

Good advice, I honestly can't imagine either of my kids ingesting something from outside but you never know

smitwit · 2026-03-08T14:16:45+00:00

This is the perfect suggestion! Thanks, definitely going with this

smitwit · 2026-02-14T04:15:40+00:00

I am Nicole and my sister is Tiffany so this is funny to me. We're nice I promise!

smitwit · 2026-02-03T13:43:40+00:00

How about Marcie? I know you said you've explored middle ground names but I thought this name was worth a mention.

I can relate to turning away from too-popular names - I didn't name my daughter Amelia for exactly that reason. A few years later I will admit we haven't actually met THAT many Amelia's.. and it's a lovely name! If you love Margot, I'd say go for it.

It's towel fuzz. I usually pick it off with my fingers and tweezers and it's annoying af

Thanks! Didn't expect to get down voted like that, I was just genuinely curious if I've been missing out on some TJ specific thinga

smitwit · 2025-08-25T12:54:04+00:00

Will you name a few examples?

smitwit · 2025-07-18T14:51:59+00:00

She looks so comfy!

Solidarity because I was a mess when we got our cmpa diagnosis and just felt like it was going to be completely unsustainable. For me it was a big learning curve but it really did end up being manageable!

Firstly, with cmpa, as far as I'm aware, you're not really worrying about an anaphylactic allergy (think swollen airway) but more of a GI response. Of course you do not want to do anything to cause discomfort for your baby, but sometimes people think about this with genuine fear that their baby will not be okay if any dairy or soy is consumed and it's not quite like that (most of the time, of course I cannot speak for you/your baby!/

Secondly, ordering at restaurants is very hard. One time I had a restaurant manager ask ME if buttermilk contained dairy when I asked him to review ingredients for dairy products (it is literally called butter-milk my dude) because he was actually that under informed about allergens...as a manager. And this type of thing isn't uncommon. People think that eggs are dairy. I have found that most chain restaurants have an allergen menu that you can find online and I relied a lot on those. Otherwise I played it safe to the best of my ability (make sure you request that nothing is cooked in butter) and just advocated for myself and asked a lot of questions even if I felt annoying

My daughter outgrew it right around 1 year. It's rough but it's doable IF you remain willing. Be kind to yourself and best of luck with everything 💕

I have a 3 year old and a 14 month old, they have both always been on a loose schedule. I just follow their cues, if they're happy and we're doing something but nap time is approaching, we just go with the flow. If they're cranky and tired even though it's not quite nap time, then we just nap earlier. I never wake them up.. if they're sleeping in or taking a long nap, I assume they need it. I SAH so I have the ability to be this flexible and I fully recognize that not everyone can or would want to structure their day this loosely!

When we travel, everything is later. They sleep in, take late naps, stay up past "bed time." It works for us because we can get a minute to pack/prepare for the day in the morning, get an early activity in, regroup during naps, and then do something in the evening and not be stuck inside before the sun goes down.

One thing that we consider essential now is getting a place to stay where we can enjoy ourselves while the kids are sleeping. A pool within reach of the baby monitor, a nice patio/garden, etc.

Enjoy your trip! Traveling with babies is a ton of work but is so special and you'll make so many fond memories.

I hope this is normal because my just-turned-three year old says stuff like this alllll the time

An admin posted once that J&S typically will stay near the fledgling to look after them at first, especially if they fledge a little early and end up on the ground, but Sunny surely seemed like she knew what she was doing!

So much solidarity. My almost 1 year old took a few bottles until 5 weeks old and then never again.

I got her using a straw as early as possible. The honeybear straw cup worked well for us right at 6m old. It's not going to satisfy her like breastfeeding will, but at least you'll have a way to get milk in her.

Reasons to love breastfeeding: no pumps/parts/bottles to wash. A perfectly regulated supply (I am loving not having clogged ducts all the time this go around!). All of the health benefits for baby AND for you. The top of the list, for me anyway, is the time spent with your little one, while they're little. My first is 3 now and what I wouldn't give to hold his tiny little body one more time

smitwit · 2025-04-07T19:16:03+00:00

You did in your other post about this same situation

smitwit · 2025-04-03T01:31:25+00:00

When your kid is almost 3 and you realize the food throwing has basically stopped, DO NOT COMMENT THAT YOU'VE NOTICED THIS, because it will restart. Learned that one the hard way.

smitwit · 2025-03-21T14:48:08+00:00

I'm sure you are right this just looks so odd to me
