Pediatricians in the San Fernando Valley!

I’m looking for a new pediatrician. We live in North Hollywood, but I work in Valley Village and my little ones are also in daycare in Valley Village. It seems like there aren’t many pediatricians in this area. Do I need to go to another part of the city to find good pediatricians or am I just missing something?

Newborn photographers in LA?

I never did professional baby photos with my oldest, but I’m at almost 36 weeks into my pregnancy and I’ve started thinking about doing newborn photos of my daughter when she’s born. How do they keep the babies calm, though? Has anyone had newborn photos done that they’ve been really happy with? I’m in the West Hollywood area if that helps! Also wondering if you have any suggestions on places to take a family photo with my husband, son, and newborn daughter in a few months! Outdoors would be nice!

Best places to find affordable baby clothes?

Hi, all! I’m a momma in the Reseda area on a budget and baby furniture, toys… basically everything can be so expensive! Are there any websites you use or places you go to for more affordable baby clothes, furniture, and toys? Would be a plus if they’re nearby, too!

My toddler keeps leaking through his diapers every night. They’re completely soaked and they soak through his PJs and blankets, as well. Does anyone know of some good overnight diapers or other things they’ve done to deal with leaky diapers at night?

Are cloth diapers worth it?

My husband and I decided we were going to use cloth diapers for our daughter. We’re pretty environmentally conscious, and it seemed like the better choice for the environment. It’s been about two weeks with our daughter using cloth diapers, though, and it is such a hassle. Are cloth diapers worth it? Does anyone have any tips on how to make them easier to wash/use?

Are used car seats safe for my child?

I have two kids and I’m expecting again! We used a hand-me-down car seat with my second child and, after using it for about six months, I realized that it had expired before we even began using it! Anyway, I’m looking for a good quality car seat for the new baby that is also affordable. Any advice on this? What are your opinions on purchasing a second-hand one?
