Have any thoughts, questions, feelings, fears? Spill them here!

This is a good place to ask questions to a broader audience than the weekly trimester check-ins so those with experience can chime in!

If anyone has had trouble drinking enough water, I recommend one of these bad boys! Double insulated so no condensation, and it has a lid, which is helpful if you have cats that like to drink the fresh human water  it just feels easier to keep track of when it's in a mug like this.

@ChocolateIsLife Good to know I'm not the only one with cats that want to drink out of human water glasses! And they stick their paws in it and try to knock them over. I've been a tervis tumbler user for years because of this.

@babylonghorn16 Friends is on pretty much at all hours of the day here! 

@mjacks16 Our Calico cat likes to cup her hand into fresh water and drink it that way! She taints everything!

hey is anyone having issues with the phone app? I have tried signing out and back in and deleting the app and re-installing but I have no option to reply on any of the threads.

@2legbaby thanks for posting that! There have been sooo many recalls in strollers and car seats lately! That reminds me I need to send in our warranty card to Chicco so that we will be notified of any recalls.

I just want to say to everyone: make sure you do your research about safety measures for your LO. There can be a lot of outdated info on some of the helpful apps out there, and you don't want to take things at face value. Don't always trust Dr. Google either. One of the articles on Glow today was about bassinet sleeping. It said that babies should be out of their bassinet by 3 or 4 months, but failed to mention the AAP guidelines for room sharing. And another article was about drinking and nursing: a touchy subject with lots of potential for bad info. Do your research and make sure it's up to date. And let's be honest: most of parenting is doing what's right for you and your LO, and hang what some Ivory Tower researcher says.
