Honestly it is really easy for people to get into a routine or get focused on something they have to do and that's generally how kids get left in cars. I saw a woman put a car seat with a child on the trunk of her car and then wrestle an older kid into his car seat and she got so focused on that she got into the car and I screamed and sprinted across a busy road to stop her from driving off. People just have insane brain farts sometimes and as someone who has not slept well since 2018 I understand that.

U-DO Burger posted:i never really bothered with cereals for kids because feeding your kid bland and flavorless poo poo feels like such a waste to me. i just let my kids gnaw/suck on a portion of whatever it was we were eating and never had any issues. it's also pretty fun to see what flavors infants and toddlers latch onto, because in my experience they're not as picky as older kids. when my first kid was 1 she absolutely adored pickled ginger and scarfed that poo poo down anytime we had some on hand. i tried it for a little bit with my first and then threw that poo poo out cause it was gross and pointless best thing you can do is just puree some fruits and vegetables in any blender, mix the fruit with a little yogurt too its like a smoothie, they'll love it

Yeah this is absolutely a thing you should do, some day you'll do dropoff on your way to work except forgetfully drive your normal route to work, and hopefully you're not too much of a new parent zombie to miss the kid as you're getting out of the car.

that arsenic article says they won’t be making rice cereals anymore because they can’t source rice from anywhere that isn’t laced. I’m pretty new to this, but it really sucks raising my baby in a toxic hell world. we were trying to be really mindful to avoid microplastic exposure, and for the first few months it was easy, but we quickly realized it was probably unrealistic. we could use glass bottles all day, but the wife’s pump, storage bags, nipples and pacifiers were all pretty much unavoidable. now that she’s on a quest to cram anything and everything in her mouth, it really seems impossible. meanolmrcloud has issued a correction as of 13:21 on Jun 11, 2021 |

been checking out the hospital where my wife will be giving birth, and it looks pretty great. they did some recent renovations. you give birth in your room and don't get carted anywhere else, private bathroom and shower, and an extra bed for the support person. I dunno, the first trimester has been so stressful with spotting and not knowing if everything was okay for days at a time for some reason the work the hospital has put in to make labour less stressful is encouraging

Did they actually let you in? Because of COVID our 'tour' was meeting with a nurse in the intake area to go over how to pre-register and discuss stuff like at what point we'd come there vs the emergency room if something was wrong, where to park and what door to come to when labor happened, and other topics like that. It was still a really worthwhile visit since it was all info we needed but they aren't letting anyone back in to the actual birth rooms because of COVID.

we got a camper because tent camping with kids in the Pacific Northwest is a nightmare. it's kind of a give and take. the inside is basically a little house and they like to just sit in there and dick around or sometimes watch a show on the iPad. and then other times I have to say "put on some pants, get outside and do something active or no s'mores." it's p nice though. just sitting outside under the awning in the rain with a fresh cup of coffee is something id never do in a tent camping situation. heck i'd probably already be packed up and in the car by now because it is DUMPING rain here and has been for 12 hours straight.

Peeps with small babies, be careful of RS virus, apparently there's a big outbreak this summer ironically because of the coronavirus measures last year.

Our two kids, 3 years old and a 7 month old, survived the move across the country without any meltdowns or even much crying. They did three flights. It didn't start off so great because on the first flight our oldest didn't understand why he couldn't just climb over people to get to his mom and he didn't sleep well so the poor guy was exhausted during the first layover. it was a really good feeling that the military family behind us had two of the screamiest kids ever so our kids looked awesome in comparison. The second and third flights were no problem, both of them slept most of the time. I am just honestly surprised and proud they did so well and it makes up for the fact that I haven't slept for 28 hours or so, I feel like I could go 28 more. I hate traveling and get extremely anxious when I have to fly so that doesn't help. The one thing I could have done better is get our oldest used to public bathrooms because he is currently terrified by them. He refused to use the bathroom or a diaper and held it for the entire trip. I have no idea how he did it.

we just hosed off to Deception Pass for the last week of fake school and it ruled. kids learned a lot about ocean life and did some rock climbing. then my older one made up a game where you earn points by knocking over fire wood with a mallet you toss and he'd add up all the points (and issue demerits as well). by my watch that's science, gym, and math all taken care of.

Ugh, little one had a rough night - think we just fed her a bit too much as she recently started great with solid food but threw up tonight all over herself in her crib and then a tiny bit more once she got cleaned up. Didn't seemed phased and aside from tiredly rubbing her eyes, she spent her time giving her best smiles and laughs and leg kicks to me, her mom, and my mother in law Nothing projectile and she is already getting back down with love and care

my four year old has been screaming at me in tears for 45 minutes after I changed him into pajamas following a 30 minute stand off where he refused to do anything at all by himself major regret on that choice.

Last week we put our 18 month old and 3 1/2 year old in the same room for sleeping and made the old nursery a playroom and well the first night was great and now things are spiraling out of control since both kids have decided to play all night.

it’s why I haven’t tried to feed my kid beets yet. also lots of blue berries can seem like something is wrong. we’ve been lucky that ours doesn’t have any food intolerances so far. we’re waiting until 5 to try shellfish though because my spouses family is full of bad food intolerances and my father in law is a shrimp away from death.

edamame is like the gateway green for us, it’s 1. green 2. has protein 3. tastes good 4. goes well with rice 5. can give kid practice with motor skills popping the soy out

Well poo poo, my three year old who does not nap went down hard at the end of her quiet time and has now slept for four hours. I can wake her up now, or hope to ride it out until morning. Neither scenario is going to work out. I can tell.
