Re: Cloth Diapers?

Does anyone use Totsbots? If so, do you use fleece liners to keep moisture away from baby? I haven't been because I thought minky was okay next to baby's skin but I'm wondering if I've been doing it wrong. Hi Mayerling, I was a big tots bots fan! I was obsessed with the London print. It was very di...

Re: Cloth Diapers?

Ladies, I'm trying to troubleshoot and I need some advice. I think I'm dealing with ammonia build up; my CDs smell fresh when they first come out of the machine but they smell of ammonia right after the first pee. I think the reason is that I'm not washing them often enough. For reference, this is t...

Re: Married people not wearing rings...

I have a baby so I'm weary of wearing of my rings around him; plus, my diamond is chipped (and uninsured) so I'd rather not risk losing it.

Re: Baby sleep training

N is on a 3/3.5/4 schedule at the moment. I realise that's considered to be a long awake window but he's always had longer awake windows than other babies. Naps are usually 1 hour and 15 mins in the morning and 45 mins in the afternoon. Bedtime is at 8 (the thing about 8 being a late bedtime I think...

Re: Must have books for parenting 12-24 months?

I really did not know anything about babies before having one. I could not have made it through our first year without Baby 411 and Healthy Sleep Habits Happy Child. Now that I have survived the first year of parenting... I realize I don't know anything about what to do with a toddler. Does anyone ...

Re: PS Mommy thread with toddlers 12-36 months

Mayerling , don't get tied up in knots about it. The long and the short of it is that a) you need enough dairy to maintain an adequate calcium intake, and b) babies shouldn't have too much cow's milk because it will suppress their appetite for food and put them at risk of iron deficiency. Does this...

Re: PS Mommy thread with toddlers 12-36 months

Thanks, Pancake. It looks like the UK differs again because I just checked the recommendation for formula after 12 months and it's only 300ml. I don't know if it's different for whole milk...

Re: PS Mommy thread with toddlers 12-36 months

Wow! 24 ounces! In the UK, the recommendation for 6-12 months is only 600ml (which is only 20.2 ounces) and I assume it's even less after one year. I wonder why it differs so much.

Wow, that seems early![/quote]

Actually, it was kind of late - babies begin to babble around 6 months - but N is being brought up bilingual so I wasn't worried.
