I'm so sorry if this has been asked, I attempted to call the airline and I swear they were useless. We plan to fly using American and our children are 4 and 2. We are bringing our car seats due to needing them at our destination. I would like to pick them up at the final destination (Tampa International) versus at our layover and have to transfer them to the next plane. Do we have to pay for them to be counter checked? It's my understanding that we don't have to pay for them if they're gate checked, but again, I want them transferred to the final destination. I haven't decided if we are going to bring our stroller or not since it's 29 pounds and I know we have to counter check it, but again,

I would truly appreciate honest opinions on this as I feel like I'm probably not the only one in the world who has struggled with this before. It's been a long time since I've been on reddit but I'm here asking for your thoughts, you, the random strangers on the internet.

My husband and I have 2 adorable boys, ages 4 and 2 currently. I'll be 33 this year and he will be 35. I've always seen myself with 3 children, however due to pretty stressful pregnancies and PPD afterwards, we both agreed in 2021 for him to get a vasectomy and he did. Our sex life is amazing now, which is the first time in...ever and I don't know if that's because I'm in my 30s and no longer have fears and reservations t

We live in central Florida and the humidity is awful our poor AC runs almost non stop (it has been checked and it is fine). I'm wondering if a dehumidifier would help keep it cooler in the house and if so should I buy a small one for each room or just one that is supposed to cover the size of the house?

Our son turned 2 in december and he's been sleeping on a bed on the floor since September he was doing really well but the past probably 3 weeks now he has been leaving his bed and coming to our room or the living room. Sometimes he does it whole whining, other times he is completely silent. One night he was dead silent and wondered into the office where my husband was on the computer, he came up behind him and started rubbing his arm gently. I would have screamed. We have explained to him over and over that he cannot leave his room when it is sleep time he needs to stay in bed but he doesn't listen. I think he is scared of the dark and maybe going through a sleep regression but he has a sou

My second LO is 11 weeks old. He has acid reflux and every formula we tried was awful for him, we finally switched to HIPP and it's been great but he still wants to eat all the time and not sleep. He wants 4 ounces every 2 hours. Our pediatrician said to make it 4 ounces every 3 to 4 hours which ends up in him screaming until he pukes. He might sleep a 2 hour nap during the day otherwise it's cat naps usually 20 minutes. At night he usually sleeps a single 4 hour stretch then it's every 1.5ish hours. We are exhausted but I'm more emotionally exhausted than physically but both suck. I have tried swaddling him, babywearing, co sleeping, bed sharing, rocking, bouncing,, swaying, noise machine

I am at a complete and utter loss with LO(little one) 2. He is 8 weeks and colicky (?) AF. Husband says I'm being extra but I just want to make sure there is no medical reason he is like this.

I'll explain: LO 1 had acid reflux he was prescribed zantac and when that was pulled they gave him pepcid which didn't work for him so they gave him nizaditine which was fine. LO 2 also had reflux symptoms(silent reflux they called it. He would be super gassy, silently vomit out of nowhere, arch his back and scream after eating but still gaining weight). They put him on pepcid, it works for about 3 or 4 hours then stops (the arching his back and screaming is back) it is a once a day medicine. They pr

How long can a 6 week old go without aleep all while gorging himself with formula? The world may never know. We are on day 5 of him staying awake for 6 hours and eating almost non stop. He seems to think he needs 6 ounces over 3 hours. I don't pull my hair out but I'm definitely getting more grey. He will scream like you're killing him if you don't feed him what he thinks he needs. He's on acid reflux medicine and formula but nothing keeps him full. We eat, burp, act asleep for 5 minutes, wake up and do it again. I can't be thankful for much today and that sounds awful but between the screaming, not sleeping and eating all the time oh and add a 23 month old who has endless energy and I don't

I figure while I'm sitting here at my 6 week post partum appointment waiting to be seen (almost an hour now) I could type this up.

Baby S was born on October 13th at 0803 weighing in at 6 pounds, 14 ounces and 19.75 inches long. The COVID test was more painful than the spinal and the whole recovery of the c section. He is my second born, both were c sections. My first C section was planned due to being breech and not a candidate for ECV due to the type of breech. Baby S was actually scheduled for 10/21 however my water broke at 0200 on the 13th. I had been saying the whole time that he was going to be early, I could feel it. His original due date was 10/26 my best friend's birthday. A litt

I'm super upset that our stroller does not fit in our cars. We ordered a stroller off our registry in June when I saw it hit the low price so I went for it so we cannot return it now. It is a Graco ready 2 grow lx and it was seemingly perfect with all the configuration and it works with our car seats. Well....now I'm on the hunt for a stroller that does fit. Our oldest is 23 months and below average size and our youngest is 6 weeks. I want a front back stroller not side by side. I drive a Toyota Rav4 2016 XLE so the trunk measures 45 inches wide. My husband drives a VW Passat 2017 but if it fits my car we don't care if it fits his. I would like a stroller that has a concert to snap our car s

My son is 5 weeks. He is my second. My first was so easy we stupidly thought we could do it again. Baby S is....by far...one of the most frustrating babies and I feel awful saying that because he's my son but I was a nanny for almost 14 years to various families most with newborns and yes it's different but he doesn't compare. We thought at first it was colic but there's no real time of day it's focused, it's just all day. Then we noticed signs of acid reflux so we brought it up to the pediatrician and she prescribed pepcid, great. He's been on it almost a week, we aren't seeing a huge improvement yet. He also seems to be extremely gassy on most formulas which causes him to scream and grunt

I dont feel like I have to explain more than the word colic.

Our first son was a super easy baby, this one is making me regret having another. Hes so fussy, so gassy, barely sleeps. We are exhausted. Frustrated. Emotionally drained.
