PeterJMC Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 10 months old... IMO, let them sleep. The little one is growing and probably needs quite a few nappy naps during the day. Baby life is probably really boring too with nothing to do but roll around on your back, crawl, and eat. If you think it's a problem, consult the pediatrician.

jasejase Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Oh gods, the 10 month old has gotten into the habit of taking 20-30 min naps throughout the day. Breaking this habit is gonna suck! What's a full 24 hours look like in regards to sleep? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jj808 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 (edited) The habit breaking process that time stopped because he came down with croup and and ear infection at the same time. After all that cleared up he seems to have regulated his own sleep. Now we regularly get 8-9 hours through the night with one 1-1.5 hr nap throughout the day.

Rhitter Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Recommendations for infant car seats that are easy to move from one car to another? My OBXT build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTEASER Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Recommendations for infant car seats that are easy to move from one car to another? You won't find one. j/k. Most of the rear facing infant seats are pretty much the same. Get 2 bases, one for each car. They stay buckled in and the seat attaches/detaches from them.

jasejase Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Agreed... For the first rear or so, just get the bucket/base system. Chicco Key Fit was our favorite. Most infant car seats, are going to be this style. As far as moving a car seat from one to another with ease, that's a tough order. Depends on the blend of car vs seat. In addition, it' still not hard to get it in 'right.' Most car seats are too loose, or at the very least, WAY at the (bad) end of the acceptable range. When you grab our car seats and go to move them side to side, the car moves with them. To do this, you need to be a bit of a contortionist and be ready to pull a muscle. LOL. Go to someone that is certified to install seats and have them put it in. Then, have them teach you how to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The local fire stations or police stations around usually have events occasionally or will show you the proper installation if you stop by their stations. But call first.

jj808 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Graco has some car seats that are really easy to move around. We have used them for both kids. Getting them in and out of the LGT is a snap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasejase Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Infant or toddler? Moving bases is pretty easy. But fixed car seats... That sucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05GT Guru Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 They aren't really any different. Both have straps that clip onto your car seat loops in your seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasejase Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 True. Latch system is almost always present. The angles of the latch points are slightly better, as well as the fact, that you don't have to fight the car seat itself while youre putting it in. It's not night and day, but a bit easier (depending on the car/seat combo). Tldr - try to get a setup where you're not removing carseats very often.

jasejase Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 yeah... we have three cars, plus my moms car. Every time there's a carseat change, things get very expensive! Just have to embrace it, and deal with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05GT Guru Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 We have 4 cars and 3 kids. And I have a mom too. Either get that money out or practice changing car seats like pit crews change tires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasejase Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 If you have four cars and three kids, im hoping you can swing the cost for car seats. LOL But seriously, that's a lot of coin. When he moved to a car seat (from the bucket), it was about $800 - $1000. to put in four car seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I have carseats in the 2 DDs and anything else is pit crew seat swaps. It helps now that the older two are in boosters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJBerk Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 My gal comes home for spring break, tomorrow night. Can't wait to see her! Now to have a serious conversation about continuously taking meds. I don't understand how she looks at them (BC & anti-anxiety), takes one but not the other. But acknowledges how much better she feels when taking it regularly. Any suggestions? She has set alarms, has them next to her toothbrush - etc etc. Just chooses not to take it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasejase Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 You need to find out why she doesn't want to take it. Have a heart to heart. I have known people that 'feel better' on anti depressant/anxiety meds, but at the same time, don't love the way it makes them feel in other ways. So they're not ecstatic about taking them.

JJBerk Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 On it. I'm just happy she's honest with me and tells me she doesn't always take it. Heart to heart, this week. Wish me luck. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
