Hi! Newbie to rings. Im looking to buy a cushion cut 2 c lab diamond ring with platinum band online and wanted some advice on where to buy and what to look for. If someone has a recommendation for an online retailer I please suggest! I need the ring to be returnable if there are defects. I looked up local jewelry shops and the markup is insane- I was quoted 6k + tax in most places. I do live in a very expensive city so thats part of it but my budget is <3k.

I stopped pumping at 6 months and got my period (well sort of) a month later yday. But its just a little bit of blood, its been 3 days. I only see small specks while wiping and a bit in the pad. Is this normal? My OB asked me to come in for a check when I told them. Appointment is 2 weeks later so wanted to hear experiences here first. What was your experience?

I used huckleberry with my newborn to track sleep and feeds but gave up when things became predictable. Over time though she has become much more sensitive and super prone to overtiredness. She doesnt give sleepy cues at all. Im wondering if logging sleep helps users predict next nap time?

Hey y’all. We just changed nannies (not my preference- previous nanny couldnt give us the hours we needed despite promising it beforehand). I went back to work around the same time. The new nanny was called for 2 hours daily for about 10 days before starting full time to start getting familiar with the baby.

My baby is 7 months now. She is highly alert, has a very sensitive temperament and has always needed help for day naps- rock for about 7-10 mins in recliner and contact naps only. Our previous nanny did this well and had just started the crib transition for 1 nap. My problem with new nanny is that baby screams at the top of her lungs everytime the new nanny tries to put her to sleep. Its been 10 days and every single time there is no improvement. I dont intervene if her cry is the ‘tired cry’, and also wait it out. But if its been 15 mins of crying and its the ‘want mommy’ cry (hysterical, lose your voice cry), I step in, calm her, rock her and once she is asleep I then hand her over.

My nanny is not happy with this and wants the baby to be left to her no matter how long it takes. I get that baby needs time to get used to her but is it okay to let the baby cry hysterically for 20-30 mins just to let her be used to her? The way I think about it- if I have to leave her crying like that for so long repeatedly might as well sleep train her?
