4 year old birthday party outdoor boy theme!

Hi! I’m helping plan my nephews birthday party and thinking about doing an Outdoor Boys themed birthday party.

Thinking about doing some “fishing” in a kiddie pool, make a fort/tent, and maybe a craft of decorating toilet paper roll binoculars.

Think we will make s’mores and some honey butter!

Would love some other suggestions if you guys have any!

Am I doing a disservice to my child by cosleeping?

We had our 9 month pediatrician visit today and I told our pediatrician we are still cosleeping. I honesty love it and have been enjoying cosleeping. We have been doing it since 4 months. I sleep pretty well. My daughter is latched on most of the night and wakes up every hour or so to relatch.

When I told the pediatrician we are cosleeping, she said we are doing a big disservice to our daughter and that we should have her sleep in her own room and crib. She said she needs to learn how to fall asleep on her own and self soothe and that it will only get harder later on.

I’d love to just get some reassurance from the community that I am not ruining my child. I really don’t want to stop cosleeping but also don’t want to do something that might hinder her. Thanks!

Edit: Thank you all for the great responses and reassurance! It is so nice waking up to all the validation and knowing I am doing a good job for my daughter! This is an incredible community! I appreciate you all!

Hi! We bathe our 8 month old every morning in our kitchen sink after breakfast because it is so messy! I just learned that this can be dangerous due to the kitchen sink not being clean.

Does anyone have any recommendations for best products for cleaning/disinfecting our sink before we bathe our girl?

We have a grate that is at the bottom of the sink and we put a silicone mat down for her to sit on.
