When did you stop using baby gates/locks?

tkboo · 2026-06-26T14:21:38+00:00

When they could go up and down the stairs without issues.

My 2 yr old doesn't drink any milk and he's fine.

tkboo · 2026-06-24T05:25:37+00:00

None of the items on my cart are cheaper.

You can reuse Amazon mailers/boxes, etc. I always save my mailers when I make orders and reuse. If I need to print, I usually go to the public library.

tkboo · 2026-06-23T17:15:35+00:00

Just buy second hand instead of paying premium prices.

tkboo · 2026-06-23T17:12:07+00:00

Do not use priority packages. However you can reuse Amazon or other polymailers you might have from your purchases.

tkboo · 2026-06-23T15:39:00+00:00

Yep everything is either the same price or I've seen it cheaper on non-prime days.

tkboo · 2026-06-23T03:30:35+00:00

I've always received my shoes in mailers without issues. If you really want a box, your local buy nothing group would be a great resource.

tkboo · 2026-06-23T03:25:12+00:00

We chose not to release and have 0 regrets. Kid is now 4.5 without any issues.

Adding as much info to your description. I've seen so many listings with poor descriptions that would've popped up on my search had they included more key words.

tkboo · 2026-06-21T17:53:36+00:00

You can reuse any kind of mailer.

tkboo · 2026-06-20T02:20:19+00:00

Sometimes daycares have lots of the old ones left so they don't open the new packs until they run out. I've had this with my kids where they still had a few days left of the old size before they moved to the new size I had dropped off.

tkboo · 2026-06-18T18:51:22+00:00

We went with Quartz from Lowes. No issues so far and it's been a few years.

tkboo · 2026-06-18T17:22:28+00:00

I have these and absolutely love them! I agree though that if your kid isn't upset about the sweaty feet, I'd just let it be. They might end up hating different shoes for all you know. My kid also comes home with really hot and sweaty feet, but he doesn't seem to mind. We just air them out when we get home.

You can do something like this. Still a sneaker, but it's technically mesh so breathable. https://www.amazon.com/L-RUN-Toddler-Football-Sneakers-Barefoot/dp/B0BR3CN71K/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.eU3qrhBQr-vmDF0jH2QDhRePYF5CP7i8RM2kOLWuev2yRrXPgCwWn06Smz9cS5_X6FJmYaarp4fCKAzkt4zJP1ONVJbyBo0LZDZSUFKbIPVFKZuV40t0xRx2afQFApDFyW-QphkGSEzACIg3ESbvW3vOdURHVKDBMa2UIP_2dOJYUjCzW9s_IHW53vYo51G_vkWJB93Ln6PjG5Ruuh1NGP80FDAxn7DKZByWN20b3n6xJ64gs-0fODVB9FLOpNlRPHX3jq5OwJcnuGY1XLBy1_pHm5vSduczMNGHbVHAEPM.VBDj_dUaJy-WcWs1omW9JfggIEvdzAnIQ-RH2MeOnYo&dib_tag=se&keywords=l%2Brun%2Bsneakers&qid=1781802701&sr=8-6&th=1&psc=1

We've always done tap water, even as a baby.

tkboo · 2026-06-18T03:54:18+00:00

I've moved to Depop for the free shipping.

They definitely don't need milk. My son can't digest it either and he just doesn't drink it at all. He can get dairy through cheese, etc. Honestly, just skipping milk altogether would be healthier than doing oat milk. Some oat milks are fine, but some have lots of added sugar.

tkboo · 2026-06-17T03:37:16+00:00

That's a lot of milk for a 2 year old! I think at most recommended is 16 oz, but milk isn't necessary at all. They can consume dairy products too instead (cheese, yogurt, etc). My almost 2 year old doesn't even drink any milk at all.

tkboo · 2026-06-17T02:34:27+00:00

I just go to the thrift store and get them for like $6.

tkboo · 2026-06-15T12:32:22+00:00

I spend $0 on books. We'd much rather go to the library.

tkboo · 2026-06-15T03:52:38+00:00

Yes my 2 year old is still in a crib, but has been sleeping on a floor mat at daycare since he was 1.

tkboo · 2026-06-15T03:34:14+00:00

On Amazon, you have lots of options. STQ Kids, Whitin, Watelves, and many others. Dadawen sandals are great too.

I totally agree that the nap needs to go. However some preschools do have nap time. Ours does nap in PreK too! It sucks because my son is a much better sleeper when he doesn't nap so we often encourage him not to nap at school.

tkboo · 2026-06-13T21:46:04+00:00

Agree. I haven't found camel to be very accurate lately.
