Hi all! I’m planning to switch from a Boba Bliss to a ring sling to be able to hip carry as LO gets older because she’s really liking looking around and I am considering the two options listed in the title. I have a fairly strict budget of $50. Wildbird is running a sale right now (on my favorite color no less) and there are a few Nalakais on Mercari that I am considering (most of them are listed as never used - so likely not broken in). I did pretty well with the stretchy wrap when she was a newborn so I’m open to a learning curve, just curious about outcomes and recommendations from more experienced baby wearers. TIA 🩵

Like the title says I plan to start transitioning my LO from sidecar bassinet to a floor bed after we move apartments over the summer. Right now she typically nurses to sleep and transitions pretty well to her bassinet once she’s actually asleep. Since she nurses to sleep and sometimes wants to bedshare in the mornings I’m torn between doing a twin size bed bed so I could lay with her or a crib size with crib mattress to be safer, I know it’s a ways away and her habits could change not to mention the big feelings that could potentially come from moving and being in a completely new space. I’m curious about safe (or safer) options and what sort of set ups have worked for others. TIA!

Hi all! I’m new to the sub and I am looking to lose weight and build muscle for both my overall health and longevity as well as to increase my chances of successful VBAC. I’m a stay at home mom and don’t currently own any equipment other than a yoga mat (I also have a velcro baby who will currently sleep not contact nap so timing is a bit fickle). I don’t have much experience in the gym but I know I’ll have at least one hour a week with equipment and stuff to start with and then go from there depending on what baby and my husband’s work schedule can manage. Any suggestions on a workout routine/tips for my wellness journey?

Am currently 5’7” 200lbs if that makes any difference, TIA!!

my LO was gifted target cloud island sleepers by a dear friend, they’re super cute and soft but also 97% polyester. I generally prefer natural fabrics for quality/sustainability but I don’t know much about the actual effects of polyester on little bodies, is it safe for her to wear these to sleep in?
