I know you keep saying these pics are inside the home but for the love of God just stop posting pictures of your girl in her car seat if you're going to be pissed about car seat comments. Or fix her strap placement so they are correctly at or below her shoulders.
That is all, thanks

I’m not fixing nothing to impress y’all . And ima keep posting my baby if you don’t like it block me tf !

they keep watching when they can easily block me if they feel like I would harm my baby and not buckle her properly .

thank you . The support for her head is removable the car seat is from target you can look it up for your self . She received 3 car seats and this the one the doctor approved before & after discharge from the hospital . Far as the straps I move them up & out the way for my picture ONLY . I promise you my baby properly strapped in and safe before leaving out the door . I take pictures inside the house I wouldn’t dare worry about a picture in the car while she’s strapped and secure it’s freezing outside but thanks for your concern. They trying to help when it’s not needed i took 12 classes total during pregnancy on different things one was child safety seat program at chop .

Not understanding why do I need to strap her in for a picture inside the house so people can not bash me about a car seat . If I really needed help or advice I wouldn’t mind asking for it .

@Armani I'm not saying have her strapped in for a photo. I sure as heck did either, lol. But most people don't mess with the adjustments typically, so the current setting is what people are assuming is being used. Did you know that less than 15% of hospitals in the US have a certified car seat inspector on staff? Most of which only have one or two on staff total, so they rarely are there for all discharges. Most hospitals have moved away from checking car seats due to legal and liability concerns.

I am a certified child passenger saftey technician for 6 years, so yes I understand everything from both sides of the house. With that being said, I personally don't trust hospitals to check car seats only because I know vast majority are not trained for it. I'm honestly surprised your hospital even did it at all because of how quickly hospitals dropped that after that big lawsuit on a hospital 15 or so years ago. Heck, there was another lawsuit against a children's hospital in Boston last year for it.

not at all related but can I pick your brain for a minute? I have the chicco keyfit 35, what are your thoughts on it. Also, is there a routing convertible seat that you love? I’m overwhelmed by the options! Thanks so so much!

Use this site to help you. I got to do some training with them at their testing facility in 2018. I absolutely love what and how they test them. They are also the only Knowledgeable and independent testers. If it's not in the list it either didn't pass or is too new. They test new models every 6 months.

Down side is they don't do the infant carrier seats. But based off of the knowledge I gained from them I chose the keyfit 30. It suited us well.

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

Newborn stage

Is anyone tired of doing the same thing everyday and being on a 2-3 hour schedule? It’s the same everyday and I feel like I’m losing my mind. It’s making me depressed even if I get out once a day. When does it get better? I feel like I’m just waiting for the next stage where it’s not just sitting around all day.
