UO Thursday 8/27

[mrsmonogrammed]

I'm team onsie is not an outfit. LO is always in a romper/dress/ shirt and shorts. But I live in the Midwest so not dealing with 100+ temps everyday!

I agree with Widget123 I'll go big for birthday parties. I went big for DD's christening and we only had 20 people (immediate fam + godparents). Her birthday parties will easily be 60+. I enjoy decorating and party planning so they will be themed parties:) no shame.

As for screen time- I'll limit it, but we have the tv in in the background usually so I imagine that will still happen as she gets older, definite limits on iPad/video games though.

And for snacks, I will encourage and provide healthy things, but will also allow things like pop (occassionally) and other stuff like fruit snacks/fruit rollups/nutty buddys etc. I had free reign of snacks as a kid and I think that it taught me to make food decisions well. I don't feel guilty for splurging on a piece of cake, but know when I need to eat something healthy to balance any "crap" food too.

We'll be going big for P's first birthday but then we've always thrown a big BBQ at that time of year. Until he's old enough to have friends we'll just combine them.

Leave it to this group to get the most fired up in forever about UO's.

UO- I get people have different reasons for cloth diapering. Mine is to save on expenses. So I find it absolutely insane when I see a COVER for a diaper going for 500 bucks on ebay because its a 'limited, limited print'. Who gives a shit? Oh right. Your baby because that's all its for. Your kid pissing and pooping in.

I totally feel this way about the crazies that pay thousands of dollars for a limited edition carrier. I know it gets use and all that but $4500 for a baby carrier?  For serious?

Similar to overpaying for diapers and carriers, I've found people will pay crazy amounts for Aden + Anais blankets, too. While Iove them, I can't understand spending $80 on an "original", htf honest company print swaddle blanket.

I noticed that craziness too when I joined a B/S/T on Facebook. Since Z doesn't like his easy swaddles, I was going to sell them, but no one seems interested in those. Who knew there were so many versions out there?

Onesie is fine if we're hanging out at home, but if I'm leaving the house I'll throw a pair of shorts/pants on him. But I'm also the person who loves putting him in baby jeans and a button down or polo shirt and dressing him like a "little man"

[periwinkledaydreams]

Ohhh baby! I know Im so late, but oh baby! You are just a teeny tiny little chubba lubba little chunky butt baby. Nobody here is bout to judge you, you can shit and piss and barf all up over yourself and nobody is about to judge you, because you are a little bitty baby! But wait! Where are your pants!?? Go home and put some pants on, baby! EVERYONE IS JUDGING YOU BABY!!!! What self respecting baby leaves the house with their little chubbalub legs out?! Geez la freakin weez!!! Babies these days!

Coming out of the woodwork to respond here! A onesie is definitely a complete outfit for baby! Every now and then I dress U--- up with a pair of shorts or pants and they never last the day. Ever. Just easier and just as comfy for baby. It's not like his family jewels are on display, he's fully covered except for his cute little thighs. So often I end up wearing him, too, and that is much cooler and more comfortable for him in just the onesie.

I'm also team a little TV never hurt anyone. I'm not sure what time limit I would put on it. Maybe 1-2 hours a day for a teeny tiny. A movie is fine! I have put on a cartoon via YouTube on my phone for U--- to get him to stop screaming in the car. DD1 did fine with TV. She's very well adjusted and perfectly sociable. This bullshit about not even having the adults watch tv with baby in the room is just ridiculous.
