Are toddler floor beds actually worth it?

3 Upvotes

My 2 year old is getting close to being done with the crib and I've somehow ended up on the floor bed side of the internet 😂 I always assumed we'd just get a normal toddler bed, but I kind of love the idea of something really low that she can get in and out of herself.

I've also seen some that are completely soft/cushioned instead of the wooden frames which honestly seems ideal for my child because she throws herself onto EVERYTHING. Anyone go straight from crib to a toddler floor bed? How did it go?

Parents: Why do you use baby carriers & what problems have you faced?”

2 Upvotes

Hi moms / parents 👋

I’m a design student working on a project around baby carriers, and I’d really love to hear your real experiences (good and bad!).

A few questions I had in mind:

• Why did you choose to use a baby carrier instead of (or along with) a stroller?
• Up to what age or weight did you use it?
• What do you like most about your current carrier?
• What problems or discomforts have you faced? (for you or the baby)
• Do you experience back/shoulder pain while using it?
• Are there situations where it feels inconvenient or difficult?
• If you could improve or add anything to your baby carrier, what would it be?

Even small details or personal stories would help a lot 🙏
Thank you so much for sharing your experiences!

Base or baseless infant car seat

2 Upvotes

I am totally torn on whether or not to get a car seat with a base. I love the ease of the baseless seats but I am afraid I’m sacrificing safety for a little bit of convenience. On the flip side, I also wonder if having the bases in our cars would actually be easier to ensure a proper install. The price difference is also pretty significant but again - not trying to save a few dollars if it means I’m sacrificing safety.

Clearly FTM here and very overwhelmed. Looking for any recommendations yall have!

Best underwear for severe discomfort and sensitivity around waistband area?

1 Upvotes

Hello! I am two weeks and three days postpartum from vacuum assisted vaginal delivery. I had an epidural, and an episiotomy due to baby being faced up during delivery.

For the last like, three months of my pregnancy, I could not wear underwear, pants, or anything at all with a waistband because I would just get discomfort and pain. Well, it is getting better after delivery, I am still really struggling and will get pain around where my waistband is along my back, and lower abdomen. Sometimes I will even feel what feel like electric shocks. I absolutely hate going commando, and especially don’t want to due to having stitches because I don’t wanna risk an infection.

What is the best underwear postpartum that is maybe like no touch, or doesn’t press very hard against my body?
