Favorite product to help transition your baby out of traditional swaddles?

Hey mamas! My little one isn’t showing signs of needing to transition out of swaddles quite yet, but I want to be ready for it! Are the Nested Bean sleep sacks worth it? Something else you would recommend to make the process easier? She sleeps sooo well when swaddled, so I’m dreading this transition.

Hey mamas! My baby is 5 months now and we’ve only left her with my parents and in-laws. The thought of leaving her with a sitter terrifies me! My partner says that I have nothing to worry about, but any tips to calm my nerves would be much appreciated :)

Homemade baby food vs. store-bought?

Is homemade baby food really better for babies than store-bought? Is it as safe since it’s harder to regulate and store properly when making yourself?

When should my infant son start sleeping through the night?

When is it normal for a baby to start consistently sleeping through the night? I've heard at 6 months or even younger, but my 8-month-old son hardly ever does. What's wrong?

How do I get ready when I have little kids?!

Any tips on how to make mornings with little ones less stressful? I just returned to work last month after being a stay-at-home mom for three years, so our 3-year-old started daycare. The shift has been tough on all of us. He’s having tantrums, a hard time with wake-ups, issues with eating his breakfast, you name it.

Where do I buy formal clothes for my toddlers?

Hi there WeeCare parents - I need help with finding some good stores in the NoHo LA area for children’s formal clothes. My sister’s wedding is coming up and I will need a dress for my 4 yo and a little suit for my 2 yo! A store that also sells formal shoes for kiddos would be a PLUS! Also, we all know that they’re going to grow out of these outfits before I have a chance to blink, so somewhere not too expensive would be amazing too!

How does part-time daycare work?

I’m a SAHM and I work remotely from home part-time. Now that my daughter is a toddler and very mobile, it’s hard to set aside uninterrupted work time. I also worry that she’s not getting enough social interaction with other kids. Should I consider part-time daycare? A nanny? I feel torn (and a bit guilty), but need to find a solution.

What are the best kid birthday parties you've been to?

Has anyone had any amazing children’s birthday parties in the Long Beach area? We didn’t throw a party for my son’s first birthday, and for his second birthday we had a little party at our home, but it was too stressful having it at home. This year I want to have it somewhere. Any ideas? Thank you so so much. I just have no clue where to even look!
