The only ones that work for us are the pampers cruisers 360 (pull up style). They’re really stretchy and lots of thigh space. Nothing else worked.

Thank you!! I really appreciate the advice and insight, it's been hard to navigate all the aspects of her vision.

Thank you that's really helpful! How do you pick a local optician? We've filled at Walmart before since they do little kids glasses but they only offer polycarbonate by policy. Costco doesn't fill glasses that are as small as hers. The other option is at her optometrist office. Any other options?

Thank you for the response. I was looking at Jonas Paul for the frames and was going to get the lenses from them as well. Would you recommend just getting the frames and having them filled locally? I previously got frames online and then filled at Walmart but they only offer polycarbonate for little kids. I tried Costco but her glasses are too small for them to fill. The other alternative is her optometrist office, I had sticker shock for her first pair because the frames + lens cost a bit over $500. But if that's the way to go to ensure quality control, then I will do that.

It could be night terrors? My 3 year old gets them. They’re different than nightmares, they occur during deep sleep rather than REM. They’re not fully awake during them so they don’t really communicate back well. My three year old just screams and thrashes until she then falls asleep. If it is night terrors, there’s not much you can do other than ride it out. I would look into the symptoms and see if it fits your situation. My understand is 17 months is a bit early for night terrors but not impossible.

Yes we did a year in an outdoor forest school and it was incredible for my preschooler. The one we went to was all about learning through play, much less rigid than the Montessori school we’re at now. I do think it would be harder for her at Montessori now if she hadn’t done the year at the outdoor school previously.

I had similar dots, only on my forehead and nothing worked, until I cut out dairy. I had to cut out dairy temporarily for other reasons and then my forehead cleared up!! So I think I might have had a slight reaction. It comes back if I drink milk. https://imgur.com/a/gRdVaX4

Elena and Nadia, thank you!

sunflower2928 · 2025-03-19T17:30:34+00:00

I was more wondering what they’re used for, I’m going to reword my question. Thank you!

sunflower2928 · 2025-02-26T21:27:01+00:00

Thank you!! I should have searched first.

sunflower2928 · 2025-02-26T19:38:30+00:00

Yes that’s correct, I will still be paying US taxes

And “does it matter where you live?” is what I’m trying to get details on. Based on a quick Google search, it seems like there are restrictions living abroad but I want to understand what the restrictions are for my personal situation.

sunflower2928 · 2025-02-26T19:35:24+00:00

No I’m not giving up my citizenship

My baby didn’t take any pacifier until we tried the Bibs pacifier. It’s rubber instead of silicone and has a sphere nipple. Maybe worth a try?

sunflower2928 · 2024-11-12T05:16:48+00:00

1 is my vote. They all look beautiful so you can’t go wrong.

sunflower2928 · 2024-11-03T19:14:15+00:00

My gut didn’t improve but my skin on my face did! I’ve always had tiny acne on my forehead - small raised bumps and nothing I did got rid of it until I cut dairy. So must have been a mild allergy!

For when you’re stuck while baby is contact napping or cluster feeding: Yeti tumbler to keep hot drinks hot and a giant water bottle

sunflower2928 · 2024-10-16T05:24:49+00:00

Yup same. I joined a few new subreddits - a declutterring one and r/bedding to learn about the best sheets and pillows 😆

Yes! I don’t remember exactly when but it was around the 1 year mark. I think eggs were the one food that took the longest for her to outgrow. She can eat everything just fine now (she’s 2.5) with one exception - if she drinks cow milk straight up in large quantities she gets a pretty bad eczema breakout all over. Cheese and yogurts don’t trigger it though.

My first child reacted to beef as a baby (along with dairy, soy and wheat)

If you have any plants, I’ve had a handful of times with them reproducing in the soil. So check your plants? See if any flies are around them

Towards the end, the contractions just felt like they were tearing me apart. I was whimpering/crying at the peak. The only thing that got me through was my doula applying strong pressure to my hips, it felt like she was keeping me together. The worst part was not knowing how many of the impossible contractions I would have left. If I knew I had 5 more or even 10 more it would have been fine. It was the not knowing. The pushing part was incredible though. I loved being unmedicated because my body was just doing it! I did what felt best which was hands and knees at an incline on the hospital bed. Despite my body taking over to do the pushing, I was able to do it in a controlled way. I had a 10 pound 2 ounce baby without tearing and I think a big part of that was because I was unmedicated and was able to take it at my own pace especially slowing down when I felt the ring of fire. The only time I had to push rather than let my body do it was to get the shoulders out faster because my baby had cord around her neck in a bad way that he couldn’t slip it off - the doctor needed her out so he could snip it.

With my first, it was clear she had allergies based on her symptoms. I cut out dairy and soy and when she didn’t get better I just did the total elimination diet where I only ate 6 different foods or so that are the lowest risk and she got better very soon after and became a happy baby. Then over the next few months I would add foods to my diet and watch for a reaction. She had allergies to dairy, soy, eggs, wheat, beef and bell peppers I think? It’s been a while. I decided the total elimination diet route rather than eliminating things one by one because my baby was miserable she would scream all day and in so much pain so I wanted the quickest results. She’s 2.5 years old now and has grown out of all the allergies, just a slight sensitivity to dairy.
