Hi! I’m struggling to wean my 13.5 month old off of bottles. I have the munchkin sippy cups, first years straw cups, and tum tum weighted straw cup.

She knows how to use a straw - she can get milk via the straw, but with water it’s kind of a crapshoot because she’ll let it flow out of her mouth. she just seems to love the nipple, she’ll take like one sip from a straw and then try to communicate she wants more but with the nipple instead of straw.

With the sippy cups she protests a lot but she also knows how to drink from them.

I’m kind of double struggling with trying to get her to drink more water (I’ve tried a lot of things - mix with juice, have myself and my husband pretend to drink from her cup, cheers, etc.) and bottle weaning. Combined with her tantrums, and she’s facing some constipation issues with her not drinking enough water, I am a very exhausted and overwhelmed mom right now 🫠

Hello! Going to Aulani later this week as two parents and our 13 month old and I just booked Hele Hele. Can anyone speak to how they are? A bit nervous since it’s a shared shuttle service, but they seem more reliable than ordering an Uber.

And does a stroller count as a piece of luggage?

Hi! I’ve worn contacts for 10+ years, I was always on Dailies AquaComfort Plus 1 day. I had mild dry eye but honestly not super noticeable, I never really had to use eye drops or artificial tears. I wear contacts all day, everyday.

I recently (like in the last few weeks) switched to Acuvue Oasys Max 1 day which does feel more comfortable in my eye and was recommended by my optometrist, but I feel like it’s made my dry eye worse? I started using Blink artificial tears when I feel a very slightly stinging but it’s when I remove my contacts at the end of the day my eyes feel a burning sensation. And now when I don’t wear contacts, my eyes feel more teary/watery than usual.

Has anyone else experienced this with this brand of contacts? I’m trying to switch back to my old one now but I’m disappointed because the Acuvue seemed to be more comfortable and more “modern” with the oxygen thing.
