I currently have a Subaru crosstrek and we are quickly outgrowing it. Only one child but we are both tall. We live rurally which makes us drive more. I also drive for work so it makes sense to go electric soon as I get kms reimbursed. I can drive up to 150kms a day for work sometimes. AWD is not mandatory.

I’m looking for something bigger than a crosstrek but I don’t need 3 rows of seats. Seems to be a lot of options for a crossover style that is similar to the crosstrek with leg room and trunk space.

New to EV research and would appreciate any recommendations in mid price ranges.

Thanks

My LO is about to turn one and we are on the last container of formula. We are just doing bedtime bottle and using up remaining formula. I had bought an infant container when on sale because I thought I would need more. But nope. She has been doing great with offering whole milk and water in the day. Since cutting back on formula, her appetite for solids has increased.

Yesterday I walked by the formula section at the store and was so grateful to not have to purchase more or worried if they will be out of stock. It feels like a celebration that we made it.

For all the new parents that formula or combo feeding, the end comes quick. Celebrate the win of feeding your little one whatever way you had to.

As a side note. All my mom friends that are breastfeeding are still not sleeping through the night. Feeding more in the day. Yes, they never had to clean a bottle or pump part. It just shows there is no right or wrong. Nothing is perfect. I have an amazing bond with my little one and dreamt of breastfeeding. But it didn’t matter. Fed is best. And my mental and physical health significantly improved weaning off pumping at 6 months.

Hi there

We are in need a second convertible car seat shortly for our one year old. I currently have the graco extend2fit in the middle seat in the back. We aren’t loving it and wanting something rotating. Both my partner are I are tall over 5’11. I have a 2019 crosstrek.

Any recommendations from crosstrek parents would be great.

Thanks.

Hi everyone

I am on the hunt for wood kitchen toys and accessories for my little one. Airlab wood food keeps coming up. I am wondering if anyone has any reviews or knows more about this company. They are budget friendly and on amazon which makes me question them.

Thank you.

Hey everyone. We have successfully sleep trained our 11 month old with CIO. Month 9-10 was one of the hardest months for us as our little one, who slept well over night since 4 months, stopped. She wanted to be held and didn't transfer well. She has been in her own crib and room since 5 weeks old. We were contact or stroller napping until about 6/7 months. Then started napping well in her crib.

We were exhausted and loosing patience so decided to do CIO. It went surprisingly well, with alseep in 30 mins first night. Now she doesn't even cry when being put down and can quickly put herself back to sleep at night if she wakes. She has been sleeping so much better the last couple weeks.

Now I want to tackle nap time as she will be going to daycare in 2 months. She has been fighting her second nap for awhile and first nap has been getting later in the day. Somedays she only naps once. So as we transition to one nap, do I go to CIO? We normally rock and cuddle then put down almost alseep if not fully.

Any tips? My little one is pretty easy going overall and has done well with CIO.
