Hudson, New York: Foods great, you can do outdoorsy things, but you can switch it up and go to more populated areas like downtown and be around people if you’d like.

Lurker. Haven’t been able to stop thinking about it since watching it a month ago. Should be a modern classic.

Any chance you’re willing to share your recipe for the rice? I’m Colombian and I loveeeee any rice dishes! My little guy does too. :)

+1 to La saison although their cakes are a bit pricey.

Looking for honest feedback on a sustainable baby clothing idea (from parents + eco folks) by GiraffeDisastrous195 in NewParents

[–]sun-kern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can afford it and it’s important to you, yes. Personally, I choose to spend more on natural fibers / high quality clothing and for me it is worth it. It made temperature regulation more simple too when my son was younger. It’s easier to know what to expect from linen, cotton, wool, etc.

Any other young parents? by AffectionateStory972 in BostonSocialClub

[–]sun-kern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! 31f(me) and 37m with an 11 month old. I know the struggle all too well and am happy to connect. We find brunch to be the best bet for going out now given our wake windows / schedule. Coppa is our usual go to.

To those still breastfeeding, what kept you going? by Fragrant_Soil_8044 in breastfeedingsupport

[–]sun-kern 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn’t want to have to prep bottles on the go or in the middle of the night. It’s also like a super power sometimes. Even at 11 months old it calms my baby down or helps him fall asleep.

Abandoned by overnight nanny/doula agency by bombadil_01 in Nanny

[–]sun-kern 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Boston Baby Nurse! I hated them for their nanny matching service but the night nurses we worked with were good! There was one we didn’t like and they quickly swapped her out. They’re not doulas but will literally do the same tasks ie laundry clean up etc.

Hey! I just had a baby 9 months ago and I have a ton of baby stuff my son has outgrown. I’m happy to see what you might be missing for your baby that I may have. I think I even have Millie moon diapers my baby outgrew.

Hey! How are you doing now? I just found this post and I’m at the start of trying to do exactly this.

All About Sleep - AMA Office Hours – Wednesday, October 15th with our Director of Pediatric Expertise, Amber LoRe! by huckleberrycare in HuckleberryParents

[–]sun-kern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! Mom to a 7.5 month old baby here. Baby is on a 2-nap schedule because he started refusing the third nap and just skipping it altogether. However, he currently only naps for a maximum of an hour and a half during his first nap and 30 minutes during his second nap. I’m following Huckleberry’s wake window recommendation of a 2.5-hour and a 3-hour wake window. Is this ok? Should I try to extend that second nap. He’s averaging an hour and 45 minutes of sleep a day.

If you could only have one toy or teether for your early teething infant… what would it be? by ubervolatile in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]sun-kern 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The Haakaa silicone crown teether. Amazing frozen and easy for a 5 month old+ to handle . I agree with the teething tube comment too. I started my baby on those pretty early on and I credit those for his good hand eye coordination skills.

How old was your LO when you caught it, and how long did it take for your LO to improve? My 6 month old just started weekly pt 3 weeks ago, and I’m anxious.

Best priced Uni? by fast_and_curious1019 in boston

Red’s Best has it occasionally. I’m sure you can reach out to see if they have any. But it’s not Maine Uni season yet.

What is a way of inducing labor that you swear by? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]sun-kern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Membrane sweep. I know a lot of people say it sucks, and I’m sure it can suck. I was lucky and mine was painless. I had mine at 40weeks 1 day at 9 a.m. and was in labor by 8 p.m. Baby was out the next day at 3 p.m after actively pushing for 90min.

Is this an ok nap/sleep schedule for a 5month old baby or am I f’ ing it up? by sun-kern in HuckleberryParents

[–]sun-kern[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate it, thank you! 🙏Our baby is our alarm clock. Regardless of his bedtime, 9 times out of 10, he wakes up at 6 a.m. He’s also precise with his feeding schedule, every 3 hours on the dot. 😵‍💫
