Hi all, we have DD (6.5 months) in an Arm's Reach Mini for about half the night (the other half she's in bed between me and the Arm's Reach). For those that have used it, at what age did you think it became too risky to have you LOs in...

I have a SIGG and a Camelbak Better Bottle... guess the SIGG is going in the trash. I absolutely love the Camelbak... great convenient bite valve on top of a stainles bottle. They posted an open letter about the SIGG news, saying that...

We found that our daughter was (and is) really soothed by sucking to sleep... I think a middle road on pacis can be good for a lot of babies (and parents). She nurses to sleep sometimes, when she and I both want to. Sometimes she turns...

This does sound like too much pain. I had one 2nd degree tear, stitched, and was taking long walks (and having no pain while sitting) by 9 days ppm. I did us witch hazel pads over my maxi pads all the time for 2 weeks or so... I would...
