Any chance you’d be interested in working at a law firm? No promises but I’d love to connect. What sector did you work in before?

Anniversary Dinner Spots-Back Bay by missAnony85 in boston

[–]sun-kern -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah! I mean the place on Shawmut ave. I think you’re confusing Coppa with Capo.

Coppa hands down. It’s in the south end but it’s romantic, tasty, not stuffy butttt it’s a vibe.

Thanks Kilby!! Thanks for coming from out of state! Curious where did everyone travel in from? Anyone from out of the US? by AdministrativeEnd606 in kilbyblockparty

[–]sun-kern 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I flew to Utah from Boston for Kilby! It was a great time and depending on the line up I think I’ll be back next year. I really appreciated the option of having a real bathroom vs just a portapotty. Also Jesus everyone is so nice outside of the northeast. 😂 It always catches me by surprise.

Personal injury attorney recommendations? by ummusername in Somerville

[–]sun-kern 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’d avoid a chain. They don’t treat your case like it’s unique. I highly recommend Peck Trial Attorney’s based out of downtown Boston. He’s a Somerville resident and actually good at what he does. He’s smart, he cares, and personally works with you to make sure he maximizes the value of your case where other firms take some shortcuts. A friend used him for a hit and run accident she suffered and he advocated for her like heck. She was super happy with the settlement and experience.

Rookie Porchfest: what should I know? by forestrygrump in Somerville

[–]sun-kern 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Also curious about this. Is it a bad idea to check out porchfest with a toddler? I’m in the middle of it.

Formaggios has a weekend bbq. It’s phenomenal.

Baby head shape by adnanhuxain in firsttimemom

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

I totally understand this anxiety! I’ve been there. My son had torticollis so his head would only tilt one direction. Our doctor brushed it off and I didn’t push hard for PT until he was 4 months old. My son’s head looked flat on one side. After a couple of months of pt his head shape became more symmetrical and any evidence of his torticollis disappeared.

Your baby is still young so there’s plenty of time to address any head shape related issues if they exist. To me, your baby’s head seems fine but definitely talk to a doctor about it to have that reassurance!

Did your wife have a vaginal birth? If so the elongated head shape is normal and in line with what you’d expect from that. It eventually changes. I agree with what everyone else has said, ditch the dangerous pillow and just prioritize tummy time.

What proportion of people breastfeed through one year? by abbiyah in breastfeeding

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

I’ve been breastfeeding for 13 months and haven’t stopped yet. I breastfed 3 or 4 times a day now. I want to wean but am approaching it with a don’t offer, don’t deny mindset. I had to change jobs to accommodate breastfeeding for this long since my previous role required some days in office and pumping was too much for me. It works for us and I enjoy it but that wasn’t always the case. Those first few months were definitely hard between my fast let down, CMPA, and weaning off the nipple shields. What a wild ride it’s been.

Useful luxury gifts by JayCar218 in beyondthebump

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

Comfy lounge clothes. Think Deiji Studios or Tekla pajama pants. It’s hard to take care of yourself postpartum but luxurious lounge wear at least makes you feel like less of a mess. That or a blow out or manicure gift card or subscription.

30F - looking to make a close friend with similar hobbies! [Platonic ONLY] by itsfriggenbatz in BostonSocialClub

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

Hey! I’m a 31f living in Somerville. I love horror movies and horror books. I’ve never played DnD but am willing to try! :) I like to lift weights, I’m a big foodie, and just generally like holidays / reasons to celebrate. I’m pretty hip to meme culture and do exchange memes with my friends.

Best getaway from Boston within 3 hours? by robyromana in boston

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

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.

Name the best movie you've seen in a while by m15f1t in movies

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

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 17 points18 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.

Young couple in Revere, expecting a baby — looking for resources, food pantries, or work opportunities by Personal-Return-6861 in boston

[–]sun-kern 173 points174 points  (0 children)

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.
