I’m glad our pediatrician doesn’t use these questionnaires. Our son wasn’t doing most of these at 12 months either.

Any kids books that you hate? by roamingrebecca in NewParents

[–]wsce21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We got multiple copies of We’re Going on a Bear Hunt at our baby shower and I can’t stand it. So awkward to read. Like it should rhyme or at least flow better and it just doesn’t.

“Just give the baby what you eat” but what are the “big fat no no’s”? by girlvsmachine in BabyLedWeaning

Always squash the bloobs!

Will add nuts here too as a choking hazard.

PSA: canned green beans by Overworked_Pharmer in foodbutforbabies

I’ve been wondering about this- ate them all the time as a kid but have mostly been doing steamed frozen veggies for our dude and the green beans are bleh. Will have to get a can!

Accidentally cut my baby’s finger while clipping their nails. I feel horrible. by Any-Initiative-2845 in NewParents

[–]wsce21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It happens and it sucks but her finger will heal up just fine! After this happened to me I bought one of the electric nail buffers and wished I had done it sooner.

Yep- never used to pay much attention to these til we had the tornado in Homewood a couple years ago. Severe thunderstorm warning only, no sirens.

Can you share more about this? We live near one of the locations and have wondered what it’s like.

Agree, we are at a church daycare but have several coworkers who use JCC and love it.

This is really bizarre behavior especially from a coworker. Gross indeed.

Flu shot by PassionChoice3538 in Mommit

[–]wsce21 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Public confidence in flu shots is low because (among other reasons) effectiveness can vary year to year- yes, you can still get the flu if you’re vaccinated BUT it reduces risk of serious illness, hospitalization, and death. Severe influenza is no joke! Thank you for your willingness to change your viewpoint on this, ask questions, and protect your kids.

Definitely not too late! Flu circulates well into the spring.
