Few things I hope to do/will definitely be doing:

-I am a huge Libby user, I must be able to borrow books fairly easily from that system

-I read a lot at night in bed

-I have a TON of audiobooks from Audible, but I don't have any ebooks from them. I'm not opposed to getting a kindle, but since I am starting from scratch, I am open to other options!

-I don't tend to reread books, so I don't necessarily need a lot of storage?

-I think I prefer physical buttons for page turning

-I think I want color? I have a kid and I like the idea of downloading books to read. I have heard of some formatting issues, so maybe this is too hard to do?

I am sure I'm missing info, but any thoughts? I thought I was set on a Kindle Colorsoft, but then I saw the Kobo Libra Colour, and I like the added feature of the stylus and being able to upload that to Google drive.

The main thing that scares me about Kobo are all the people that say I might have to download a book, then convert it with Calibre... I am sure I could figure that out, but it does sound like a pain.

Thanks in advance!

I'm hoping to quit BF at 2 years, kiddo will be 2 in September. I don't mind some night BF but wondering how best to full wean? Do I start night weaning, then only do day nurses for a month? Then cut out another feed?

I found out via several blood tests only (16 years ago) that I have Celiac. I have since reproduced and now have a young toddler. Many months ago, my pediatrician said testing for babies is unreliable, and I have to wait for my kid to be 2-3 for first test.

​

She will be 2 soon, and just started having diarrhea. Can someone with experience tell me how their 2 year old was diagnosed? Hopefully she doesn't have it, but I know it's genetic. Just wondering if I need to trust my doctor or push for testing. Maybe doc is open to it now, I'm just prepping myself for battle lol.

We started lazy EC at 12 mos, got less lazy around maybe 16 mos. Once she hit 19mos she was pretty much potty trained! Maybe 2 accidents a day?! We packed up our tabbed diapers and went full training undies/pull ups!

For whatever reason she still does great at daycare, but at home when we know it's about time and offer potty she says "no no no!!" And won't sit. She now pees her pants and won't tell us she had an accident like she did before. In the past we have tried books/toys but she just gets so mad now we haven't done that yet. We don't force her. But we basically went from 95% potty trained to now missing almost every pee! She will still signal and poo on the potty most of the time, thankfully.

I can't think of any huge life changes. She does have 3 pretty big teeth coming in.

I have been meaning to get Andrea Olson's second book but haven't yet. Any advice?

TLDR: was basically potty trained at 19 mos, now 20 mos had a huge regression and we miss nearly all pees.
