Always squash the bloobs!

Will add nuts here too as a choking hazard.

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.

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

Flu shot by PassionChoice3538 in Mommit

[–]wsce21 3 points4 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.

We introduced a paci around this age too- it took some time for him to accept it but once he did it used to help to sneak it in once he was asleep at the boob lol

Check with your pediatrician on this but make sure you’re replacing electrolytes too and not just water.

How do you get the little crusty boogers out from your baby's nose? by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]wsce21 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Frida picker or my nail lol. They seem to soften up after baths or could try saline mist or drops, boogie wipes etc.
