Hi mamas! I selectively vaxed my daughter who is turning three in a couple of weeks. I want to check in with my selectively vaxing peers and see if there is anything else I should vax her for at our upcoming appointment. I...

How did I miss these replies. Thank you so much you smart, thoughtful mamas. I am at 14.5 months and I'm currently giving her 16 oz a day of formula and 8-16 oz of BM. I am exactly split 50/50 between doing organic cow's milk to make...

I'm borrowing a babyhawk oh snap (ergo before that) and my baby is nearly 25 pounds. Front carry is getting old, mamas (and papas)! I don't know if I can explain it -- you'd have to see it, or know a very large, busty person, but when...
