it’s not leeching if people chip in voluntarily

AKA not strangers

People wanna help

@Isabella Locke-MT We're a tribe, not a bunch of strangers.

You guys are going to trigger my pregnancy hormones to make me cry

There is no winning lol

Awh

It's just sweet that y'all would want to help

I’d give you guys a stroller if you weren’t so far away 😂

@Isabella Locke-MT Patrick posts all baby registries in announcements for our members

@NateDahl76 that's what Amazon wish-list are for 😉

I have one in pretty good shape

Welp when someone has a kid in the area

Still don't really feel comfortable doing that. My husband is getting overtime every week, we'll be okay.

@Isabella Locke-MT I recommend Babylist registry and cosleeping. My mom bought us a crib but he sleeps in our bed, way easier for night feedings.

I have a Babylist

Nice

We got a little bassinet that rotates over the bed

@GDoctor amazon wishlists can dox people. We have a procedure in place.

As for cosleeping, Idk. I don't want to squish him

@Papa Pizzagate Oops, my bad.

Cosleeping is dangerous for drinkers and drug users, and I suppose the heaviest of sleepers who move around a lot. Otherwise your reaction times and awareness of the baby are up to par to not squish him.

We have other parents who cosleep. When you get into the parenting channel we can discuss more if you like.

As for "leeching," once you're a member your baby becomes any IE baby. One of us, one of us...

No worries brotha just want to make sure we don't give people the wrong idea! @GDoctor

if your baby can't defend itself from your sleeping body, then it was weak

Hardcore

Didn’t think I’d get that kind of dark humor when popping into general

dark humor = best humor

My husband and I are both light sleepers.

Shouldn't be an issue

If I wasn't a sufficiently light sleeper before, I know when you give birth something happens to your brain to make you one lol

>several people are typing

if your toddler can't defeat the patriarch of the household in hand-to-hand combat, then you birthed a gender studies major

@Goose if geese think this way .... all I can say is oof

I was a heavy sleeper before. Tbh not much has changed. Still fall asleep pretty much anywhere and baby has to make noise right next to me for a minute or two before I start to wake up.

I wonder how many babies will be at the conference?

Imagine how an IE twitter post with a dozen infants...

Infants do a banner drop

just realized we're going to need a daycare at future conferences <:nervous:359009898115104770>

My wife doesn’t want me to bring ours 😭😭
