No snowsuits in car seats, like mentioned above. Use a car seat cover. If you want to add another blanket on top, use one that is a single layer or is quilted, so the inner layer doesnt collapse and suffocate.

Thank you! I was definitely worried about suffocating. I need to learn to knit…

Polar fleece is a good material for throwing over a car seat handle because it blocks wind.

Ohh cheap too!!

Totally builds the immune system - yours and your babies'! It's legit! DS6 was in a research study attempting to explain why farm kids are healthier than city kids. Some of the research is getting published now. Much of it is not accessible online, but I could see titles for published articles on infant gut microbiome, indoor microbiota and air quality, etc. Fascinating stuff. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32650021/

Wow! Nice paper.

I was raised on a farm and I still have loads of allergies and on top of it, asthma. I hope I pass none of it down to my kids.

OMG childhood flashback! Or lime jello with carrots and celery in it!

we had some a few months ago. Mom loves it. i love cottage cheese with pineapple in it, always have. i can skip it in the jello but hey, if it is here i'll eat it.

I do like jello with nothing in it, peach, orange, cherry are my top three

right now i'm hungry for peach and green curry with a bit of added vinegar to give it more snap and some crushed red pepper flakes to give it more color and texture plus i like the little seeds floating in thin air in there...
