And I know several thin women with conventionally beautiful bodies who struggle.

I’d actually have less of a problem with it if it came from Victoria Secret. By Weight Watchers involvement it implies that it’s a fat lady problem when in reality it’s an everyone problem

I had my baby in the winter in a very dry state so I don’t think that advice is given to everyone. By the time he started eating real food and crawling we gave baths more frequently

We used a Rubbermaid tub in the beginning at the advice of a maternity nurse, it was later repurposed for storage. Then I bathed with him for a few months until he could sit up. We were told not to bathe him more than 2x week for the first few months unless he had a blowout

Strollers are definitely a status thing for some people. I’ve noticed from park hopping you can basically see “this is a bugaboo neighborhood” “bob territory”

Do you mean that they are unable to install them correctly which renders them no good in a crash? All seats in the US pass the same test for safety

I’ve bought plenty of unopened or barely used stuff on Craigslist

Lots of things are unnecessary and I don’t like things being marketed as essential, but some babies have quirks that can be helped with a gadget and…

Their products and motherlove nipple cream saved me

Earth mama Angel Baby are excellent “white nonsense” products

I worked in special ed and changed many a diaper of older children. What really grossed me out was wiping their noses. I know a few people who agree that snot is worse than shit.

Exactly my point.

My kid had colic and a witching hour that lasted from 4pm to 2am. I would have paid all my dollars

I had one that used a regular tissue instead of the filters and it was the best ever. I tried on myself during a horrid cold

I like the grape ones, for me
