Does anyone here regularly nap their baby or toddler outside? It's something I plan to do in the future when my baby is a little bigger and despite my neighborhood being very safe and I have no plans to leave my baby on a street like they do in Scandinavia lol I just feel nervous about it.

Our deck has a gate I can close off and leave the baby on in a wagon or stroller or our backyard is quite private, and I will talk to our neighbors about the fact we leave the baby out there. I just feel like we need some sort of theft alarm and a monitor that can go on a stroller or wagon? I am very anti baby monitors, but I feel like in this case I have to have a video feed. Once I'm inside and have doors closed in the winter I feel very distant and uneasy thinking about it.

Is all of this just catastrophizing something that is completely reasonable and no more dangerous than naps anywhere else? Does anyone have monitors or alarms to recommend?

I heard a Scandinavian parent mention once in a reel an anti theft device like every parent there has one but I have no idea where that reel was. Google is extremely unhelpful.

I feel like the realm of non-toxic bras is so underwhelming so if there's nothing out there I'm not surprised. Does anyone know of a non-toxic sports bra option? All I've found really are bralettes, which is fine for me but I imagine with impact they get stretched and worn quickly. I'm ok with natural fibers and minimal elastics, does anyone know of anything?

Ok so I hope I am in the right place for this sort of thing. I'd like to say I am a really quite crunchy person and it's always worked well for me. I've never been in a situation where I even had to consider this. I am 22 weeks pregnant and quite possibly have a UTI. I have decided to try to get a UTI test from my midwives. I consented to the first test in the beginning of pregnancy and it was completely negative, obviously things change. I've never been a person that gets UTIs but I just feel mildly confused why I have one. I know it is treatable to an extent with cranberry juice/cranberry based pills etc and homeopathics, but I'm not sure at what point my midwives will start to really push antibiotics and we'll have a whole line in the sand thing where I have to evaluate the risks and decide what to do. I have celiac disease. I am trying very hard to protect my microbiome in pregnancy because of this and I know antibiotics will probably give me some GI distress. I feel like I have failed there seeing as an infection seems to have developed. Supposing I have a UTI + Kidney infection does anyone have advice?
