Massage oil
We have a two week old and are thinking of massaging him daily for better blood circulation and bonding. What oils would you recommend? We live in California and just learnt that coconut oil is not as moisturizing in California weather. Is there any one particular oil you would use over the other?

Toddler climbing out of crib

I’m not ready to deal with all the freedom that comes with putting on the toddler rail… The mattress is at the lowest level, but should I lower the mattress to the floor, still within the crib? Has anyone done that? Also, he has an en-suite bathroom, how do I ‘lock’ the…

What was/is your mat leave binge-watching show?
I am (perhaps obviously) a FTM and found that I filled a lot of my time while on mat leave binge watching shows I always wanted to watch, but never had the time.
