Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetI have a steam cleaner, and it’s wonderful. It was a hand-me-down from my mother, who found that it wasn’t right for her.
My kids are able to use it, which is pretty handy. I watch them… it’s steam after all and I don’t want them getting too curious and getting burned, but it’s really easy for them to clean floors now. Handy when they’re the major causes of messes.

Well, almost, this round. She’s turning 1 really soon and nowhere near ready to wean.
I’m much a fan of child-led weaning. My two older kids both chose to wean around 18 months. I don’t doubt I could have encouraged it longer if I wanted, but I was satisfied that they were ready. We’ll see when this one chooses to wean.
I have to agree with Ann about the psychologist’s comment. What nonsense! If you’re going to make a claim about how a child develops, have some evidence.
In my own experience, breastfeeding a toddler is a great way to soothe him or her and it doesn’t keep them from learning to self soothe. Breastfeeding is simply one method of soothing.

I haven’t had any definite problems, but when it seems as though my baby isn’t getting satisfied by the milk she can get from me, I’ve always turned to oatmeal plus drinking more water. Seems to take care of it nice and easy.
When I’ve pumped, I’ve noticed a similar effect to what tncastro said. While my flow generally didn’t flat out stop, it would slow significantly after a few minutes and pick up again if I kept going. Really fascinating to watch sometimes.

Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetThanks! I still miss the playhouse. It was hard admitting it when the cardboard got too weak.
Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetHannah, true enough that you can even get by without baby gates if you choose. I have a fair number of them, but a big use is to give my baby a chance to roam fairly freely while my older kids can use their small toys without worrying about her. My baby is the most orally focused of my children, and even with that help I pull an awful lot of small toy pieces from her mouth.
Whozat, in that case I probably wouldn’t have blamed you for the walking wings. Saving one’s back sounds like a pretty good reason. Too bad there’s no way to save my sanity some day for the stunts my kids pull.
So true, Rob. It says a lot about who buys these things.

I don’t think I’ll show this to my husband. He might get ideas.
Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetI love these tips. I go clothes shopping very rarely. Fashion has never mattered to me. Some of it may be budget, but even when I’ve had more leeway, buying anything just to have new hasn’t appealed.
Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetHadn’t seen those before. Yikes and yuck!
Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetSnuggies for dogs… how I wish I were surprised.
I spend a lot of time rolling my eyes at commercials too. Slowly teaching my kids to do the same.
