We used the Arm's Reach mini until about 6 months or so, when I woke up to my alarm clock making strange noises. Our son was standing up, reaching over the side of the cosleeper & mashing all the buttons he could. I bought ours off Craigslist for like $50, I don't think I would have paid full retail for something that only lasts such a short while. Sidecarring a crib is a good option for long term use.

I took Zyrtec D every day before I was pregnant & it was rough weaning off the sudafed during pregnancy. My doctor said it was perfectly safe to continue taking Zyrtec, so maybe adding in just the antihistamine will help you. Sudafed isn't recommended while breastfeeding because it could dry up your milk just like it dries up your nose. Some women are more sensitive to this, so you might be okay but I wouldn't try going back on it until your supply is established.

If she doesn't have any special medical conditions, you might have a couple of sick visit co-pays. If she gets croup you're in for an ER visit, but there's no way to predict if that'll happen or not. All of her well visit checks & vaccinations should be fully covered under your insurance with no co-pay.

Check with your insurance of course, but unless you're in a grandfathered plan all preventative care, which includes the every 3 month infant well checks, should be fully covered. We only had to pay for sick visits & trips to the urologist for my son's multicystic dysplastic kidney.

Unless you really really trust that your friend's seat has never been in an accident I would keep the new one. A stroller doesn't need to be new, but I wouldn't trust anyone except an immediate family member to give me a used car seat.

There's no need to buy special detergent, especially Dreft. That stuff has such a strong smell I can't believe it's made for babies. We just used what we use for all of our clothes, All Free & Clear.

One of the moms in the Facebook group was hospitalized for a large portion of her pregnancy, also had the TTTS surgery, her girls came early & were in NICU for awhile. Her girls are thriving & she's been able to pump, nurse & bottle feed them. So it can be done, it just takes work. In fact, you should join our Facebook group so you can get information from all our twin parents. Go here & leave your email & one of the mods will add you. https://www.facebook.com/groups/455100177924727/ GoreJess fucked around with this message at 02:39 on Jun 9, 2016 |

When your doctor says, "I'm going to have to go in, the placenta isn't detaching" DO NOT LOOK DOWN. Also, pray that you have an epidural & didn't do the whole thing med free like I did.

KasioDiscoRock posted:Through a series of events, I recently learned that counterfeit baby products, specifically Ergobaby carriers, is a huge problem, and find myself in possession of one of them (confirmed by Ergobaby customer service to indeed be a fake). I would cut the straps off & trash it. The counterfeit carriers aren't tested, so they could fail, which would be really awful.

I planned to take a week off before my son's due date to use up the rest of my paid vacation time before the end of the year (due date was in December). Instead, he came a week & a half early & I didn't get my planned time to relax a little & clean up the house a bit. Husband called work when they opened to let them know I wouldn't be in because I was in the hospital. There's no reason why you have to stop working before you go into labor unless you're having complications or just want to not work for a little bit.

No, no you may not. You need a convertible seat that will stay rear facing until she's at least 2.

The cloth diapering advice from the first posts is really old. From what I’ve heard from other parents pocket diapers have gotten a lot cheaper & easier to wash. Someone with a younger baby who exclusively cloth diapered should be able to give some better advice. That person is not me.

In addition to extra clothes for baby, make sure each of the adults have an extra shirt. If baby has a massive blowout or spit up episode chances are its going all over you too.

I wore nursing tanks with burp cloths stuffed in them at first. I leaked so much milk overnight that breast pads were a loving joke. Once my supply settled down a little the washable breast pads worked better for me at night than the disposable ones.
