NYC daycare, everything we've looked at starts at $2800/month and we're not even in Manhattan.

nachos posted:We got the gently caress out of NYC as soon as humanly possible after our daughter was born. Daycare is half that price here in Georgia. So is our mortgage compared to our old rent. There's only one place our salaries don't drop like a rock outside of NYC, and that's DC, so whoops us.

The more inclined they are, the more likely they are to potentially asphyxiate themselves if their head falls forward. We only let ours sleep in bouncers/car seats/etc if someone is watching them. If your baby wants to sleep at an incline and/or has gastro issues and you are using a bassinet that supports this, you can prop up the legs on the head side a few inches to give them a slight incline. Stopped ours from grunting all the time during sleep. I really wish we had had the bassinet setup like the one at the hospital though.

The only TV show we watch now is How Much Will Our Baby Wiggle, Thrash, and Wave Before Sleeping or Crying. It's on for about thirty minutes every night. We also gamble with each over how long the cries will go. Reverse Price is Right rules, so if you bid highest but still not long enough, you get to be the next sleep soother.

Get two spatulas, one with the travel case for your diaper on-the-go setup.

Brawnfire posted:I've been wanting to get something to bike my kid around but I'm sort of unnerved by my kid trailing behind my bike, out of easy sight. Does it feel fairly natural? It's more money, but this is why I'm looking at long john cargo bikes. Everything in front means more things in sight.

I really want to exercise, but there's no time, but my body is so achy. I think I'm going to count stretching while she naps as a workout.

I'm so happy everything that I hand wash is big enough for a sponge now. I disliked the Dr. Brown's for that alone.

Democratic Pirate posted:The issue we have with bottle/hand washing is the cracked hands. It’s better now we’re out of the newborn stage, but for a while both our hands were canyons of cracks and bottles of lotion were the only thing keeping them intact. Elbow length pink gloves from South Korea. They can buffer the hot water and put me deep in the podcast and clean mode. Mine come in a two-pack, so I use the other pair for dealing with the reusable diapers.

Necronomicon posted:Can anyone tell me I’m not a horrible monster for having a 9 month old still hovering around the 3rd to 5th percentile in weight? Doctors are more than willing to show an enormous amount of “concern” despite the fact that the little guy is thriving and incredibly happy and friendly. We’ve been giving him solid food for the last two months and we’re focusing on calorically dense food - stuff like mascarpone, ricotta, peanut butter mixed with sweet potato and yogurt and etc. We were making good progress for a while but he started popping out his first tooth recently and lost interest in solids almost entirely for the last week. He still nurses frequently (our lactation consultant’s motto was “nurse first, ask questions later”) but given that he’s thriving and happy, is it just a fact of life that some babies are on the smaller end? Everything besides his weight is fantastic. Not monster. Ours was in the tens through the first ten months and then suddenly jumped way up over two months. Nothing really major changed in her diet. She was breastfed. And even though the doctor said everything was fine, my partner understandably was stressing anytime her percentile went down a little bit. As if it was her failure that baby didn't pack on pounds at the right speed. Baby growth is a mystery. Giant Metal Robot fucked around with this message at 19:38 on Jan 4, 2024 |

morothar posted:I’ve convinced myself that SIDS is a late-stage capitalism ‘disorder’ that largely affects poor people. Digging into the stats seems to support that impression, but it’s not like I have time to run models. Yes, this feels right quote:Similarly, I don’t get having kids sleep in their own bed at a young age. It feels profoundly off “anthropologically” if that makes sense? But then, lots of things that humans did for (tens of) thousands of years were. And this feels wrong. But, I'm just a parent frustrated at the amount of baby min-maxing that assumes there is some way of raising a more perfect human. We do lots of things that we're not even aware of that will probably have an even bigger effect on our kid than many of our conscious efforts. The more I parent, the harder I find it to poo poo talk how other people parent, at least until their kids hurt my kid.

I have PreCheck and my partner doesn't. We have found it most helpful to turn me into a luggage mule while they take the baby through regular security with as few bags as possible. That way I get the allowances for not taking out batteries, baby food, etc, and they get a little leeway from nice TSA staff since they have a baby.

One of the positions we were warned about is slumping forward, chin on chest. That can be enough to collapse the throat and prevent the child from breathing. And like all baby things, the advice tends to be on the side of 0-risk-is-the-only-acceptable-amount, so I'm seeing advice that is warning about that possibility through age 2 and some that says only until they can sit up.

Pham Nuwen posted:We're looking at "helper stools" for the kitchen, to bring the kid to counter height so they can watch and "help", and a common theme seems to be that they're cheaply made crap from all-caps alphabet-soup sellers on Amazon, with a tendency to fall apart or tip over. We have the collapsible piccalio. I'm amazed our 18 month old can climb up into it and move the safety bar into place pretty easily now after getting it at 14 months. We lifted her in before. Getting down is still tricky for her. She kind of sits on the edge while hanging into the bar and waits for us to offer a hand. We're happy with the stability although when she reaches way out to the side, it can cause it to tip. I count that as just one of things we can watch for when she's in the kitchen with us. For this kind of furniture, I try to find a second hand premium option on a parent group, especially from someone who bought it and then decided it didn't fit their parenting style. It was still $150ish.
