Safari Park - is the cart safari worth it for toddler?

Hi, we are planning to go to San Diego for the first time in Oct. My 2.5yrs son likes elephants and tigers. We are planning to go to safari park as well as the zoo. I am looking at the safari tours. He is not old enough for wildlife safari yet and we also have a 8m old with us. I wonder should we pay extra to take the cart safari? Is it worth it? It's pretty pricy and I am not sure if 1.5hr is too long for him. Should we just take the Africa Tram and leave the safari tours for the future. I am pretty sure we will come back in a few years as we have family members in LA. Thanks!!

How to sleep train a baby who only nurse when asleep?

My little girl just turned 4 months old and I think she hits the sleep regression. In the past week, she woke up every 2hrs at night. I would like to gradually sleep train her. But my issue is she only nurse when she is asleep. She had tongue tie which was released. But it doesn’t really resolve the problem. Her coordination is still bad so feeding is always an issue. Since 3m, she only nurses when she is about to fall asleep. She won’t nurse when she is awake. I wonder if anyone successfully sleep trained baby like this. How can I break the association?

My baby just doesn’t eat!

I’m so concerned about my 3 months old milk intake. She nurses so infrequent. This morning she nursed at 6:20am and won’t nurse until 11:20am. I tried at 10:00am and she refused and only sucked a few times. I think I can only get her 4-5 times full feed a day. And it’s all when she is sleeping. It’s so hard to nurse her when she is awake. It’s been like this for a while. She seems happy and active when she is awake though. She is gaining weight but it’s slow. She was 87 percentile when she was born and I think is only 80 now. She got her tongue tie released one and half months ago but it doesn’t really resolve anything. I got SLP and Osteopath confirmed there’s no reattachment. She just can’t figure out the right movement. Anyone had similar experiences? Idk what to do. I tried bottle and she refused. I’m so stressed.

Should I give up or keep pushing it?

My son is 28 months now. We have been on potty training for 6 days using 3 day method. The first 3 days were going well. He had some accidents on the first day. The second day he goes to potty on his own most of times. The third day we put him in loose pants without underwear. And he had 2 accidents but still asked to go potty most of times. However everything goes downhill since day 4. More and more accidents and now it’s day 6. He only went once after we asked multiple times. All other times are accidents. It seems he knew he is supposed to go potty but he doesn’t want to. He said potty and then refused to go and then peed on the floor. I’m sure he is ready but he just resisted to go. Should I give up and take a break? Or I should just keep pushing it? Should I just not prompt anymore at all? I am concerned he will get used to pee on the floor and doesn’t care about going potty anymore.

Loveheld vs Hope&Plum Ring sling

I’m getting my first ring sling and I’m debating between these two brands. My LO is 3m old and 14lbs now. Anyone has both and can share the experience? Loveheld has more options. I’m eyeing on their super soft linen, gem weave, or everyday waffle. H&P’s hemp blend seems very popular too. Idk if it’s easy to break in. I would prefer something softer and easy to work with as a beginner!
