WOW: there are a TON of new products to help when your baby has a cold. I remember being amazed at how TINY my boys’ little noses were, and how bad I felt if they got so stuffy they couldn’t sleep.
At the same time, MAN did they hate the sprays, the Snotsucker, the Boogie wipes — and half the time whichever instrument of torture I selected wouldn’t even get the job done if I got my squirmy baby to sit still long enough. SO: To add to your arsenal, there are new things the kiddo will inevitably hate, but hopefully will get the job done for you — including the pictured Ear & Nose Cleaner from Oogiebear, which is kind of a teeny plastic spoon that you use to clean their nose and ears, apparently.
(There are also a number of nose cleaning tweezers!) The Oogiebear ear and nose cleaner is $9.95-12.95 at BuyBuyBaby and Amazon. oogiebear Ear & Nose Cleaner
Best place to buy halloween costumes on sale for next year? Thank you!
Every year, our kids get Christmas ornaments reflecting something about their lives that year. I always have such a hard time finding good ornaments. Does anyone have any great online sources? I’m flexible about style – we have the gorgeous blown glass or metal ornaments, but we also have fabric, wooden, and plastic ones.
So frustrated looking for t shirts for my toddler. Why do they all have cupcakes, ice cream, cats/dogs/bunnies, or inspirational sayings (e.g., Dream big! Be Kind! Sweet stuff!)? Is there anyone who really enjoys wearing food products on their front? Does my 3 yo really need to proclaim that she’s sweet or cute from her shirt? So weird.
Suggestions for non-book gift ideas for a 6 year old?
Anon’s question made me realize that I do not check the s3x offender website as a matter of practice. Should I be doing this? My kids are still very young, so playdates only happen under adult supervision, but I don’t think we are so far away from drop-off playdates.
I had thought to ask about guns in the house, but hadn’t thought about this extra protection.
I have a question about taking baby home from the hospital in the middle of winter. Baby will have to be outside to get to car and to get from car into the house. Is the best plan to use blankets for warmth, or should we try to get some type of jacket? I have heard warmer jackets for infants aren’t always a safe bet in the car seat, because then the child cannot fit as snugly when they are so small. Any recs on types of warm blankets? I am talking about Christmastime in Chicago for reference as to how cold it could get. Thanks.
I want to get our 18-month old a large assortment of play food for Xmas. Can anyone recommend brands or brands to avoid? The KidKraft is tempting on Amazon, but I am very nervous about safety because I know my kid will be gnawing on these things.
Curious how everyone would handle this situation. A friend of mine told me her daughter, who is in kindergarten, has been invited to a classmate’s house for a play date on a couple occasions (the dates never worked so no play date has happened yet). Someone posted the s*x offender registry on our neighborhood page prior to Halloween and she noticed the classmate’s dad is a registered s*x offender due to a conviction of 3rd degree s*xual assault of an adult from 5 years ago. Nothing is available online about the conviction so she doesn’t know the circumstances behind the conviction. What would you do in this situation?
Where are the best places to look for Halloween decor on sale? I just did some damage at my local CVS but I’m sure there must be more, and my GoogleFu is failing me. (Grandin Road has good prices but crazy shipping fees, boo.)
Tis the season I guess. We’ve had a cold running through our house for more than two weeks now. Not only has everyone gotten it, but my kids are now on round two! I thought using the Swedish snot sucker on infants was awful. Nothing compared to using it on a feverish two year old at 3:00am. Said two year old also was very unhappy with me trying to change the sheets in his crib (because he’d thrown up red children’s Tylenol all over them) and expressed his unhappiness by pelting me with toys while I was trying to keep the non-vomity toys out of the vomit so he’d at least have his favorite bear to sleep with when I was done. There is no rage like a ragey sick toddler. At 3:00am. Luckily his brother, who was feverish and crabby all weekend, woke up bouncy and happy and ready to plow through a plate of eggs. Better one sick toddler than two I guess.

Freemie users: which parts (if any) do you put in the dishwasher? Have you had any problems as a result?
Ugh, Halloween on a Monday is terrible. My kids were all kinds of awful this morning. I knew y’all would understand.
