Thank you for posting this! I am going to try this, as my son is also very tall and very skinny. Great idea!

I ordered mine from this Australian based company.
https://www.birthinternational.com/

They shipped it rapidly to Norway, where I live. Only took 4–5 days.
I recon they ship it to the US as well.

It has been quite a while since I visited this blog — but, I did follow your baby #2 story on your Expat blog. I have a 7 m.0. now and can appreciate your take on following your instincts. Everyone has an opinion on what “you” should do with your baby… being that this is my third, I respectfully listen to their advice — and then tell them that we’re enjoying everyday with our little guy and are pretty sure he’s going to turn out just fine. I mean really, none of us know exactly what we are doing… we do what we think is right and pray that our kiddos turn out okay.

I hope you find time to return to blogging some day. It helped me before we made the move here and for the past 2.5 years that we’ve been in the ‘burg. But, I understand how time consuming life is… in the mean time — enjoy those boys and I’ll keep checking back from time to time!

Comment on Do we really need fancy diaper pails? by Tacha

My mom just put them in the bathroom trash, then take it out when it was full. I’m thinking of just putting a small trash can with a lid next to my changing table; then, after I take out the trash, just spray it with Lysol before putting in a new bag. I do this with the kitchen trash can, and it really helps the odor; so I hope it helps with the baby’s.

Hi, where did you find this for $100–120? I would LOVE to try this! I tore pretty badly with my first. I had trained in hypnobabies so it didn’t hurt as it was happening, but it sure slowed down my recovery!!

I definitely feel like I learn a lot from our friends who are also parents (and also from the friends who don’t have kids — sometimes it is god to be reminded how you saw things before children). I see the other parents in my life as a resource of ideas. There are so many ways to tackle family problems, and isolating yourself or creating conflict by attack other families doesn’t really help anyone solve these issues.

I hope you find the inspiration and time to return to blogging more often. Be gentle on yourself as you slowly move forward. Being the mother of two small kids is no ease task!

Comment on Struggling with Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG): Week 23 Update by Christina

@jennifer: Sorry you are going through this, but there are a lot of other women out there who’ve gone through the same thing and we’ve all had the same feelings that you’re having. Hang in there and lots of hugs!

@beatrice: I’m so so sorry you are still having HG. That must be horrible, thinking it will be over and it just keeps going. I haven’t read anything about it continuing for so long, you really should find a doctor who is knowledgeable about HG (if you don’t already have one). My HG disappeared about 4–5 days after the birth, so I think yours has gone on much too long. Talk to your doctor and if they don’t know what to do, find another doctor! Good luck and I hope things get better for you soon!

I feel desperate. I had HG the full 9 months of my pregnancy. I was induced at 37 weeks because the baby was not gaining weight. I started my pregnancy at 186 pounds and now am 155 pounds. Baby is absolutely fine and lovely although small, he is healthy. Why am I complaining? I am still sick!!!! Its been 3 weeks still my baby arrived and I still cant even drink water sometimes! I cannot find anything at all anywhere about the damn HG leaving me. Please if you have any information, please please help me. I am breastfeeding too so Im extremely weak because Im not able to feed myself. Help!!!!
