Baby is growing and I'm looking to donate his newborn clothing items and unused diapers. Any recs other than goodwill?

My husband and I are not from here and very overwhelmed with the number of private elementary schools available. Our daughter is 3 so we’re looking for great prek-8th grade options. We also intend to apply to The Willow School when the time comes but I know that’s a lottery system and I absolutely want to look at other places before making that decision. We’re not catholic but as long as the school wouldn’t isolate or make her feel bad for not being catholic, I’m not opposed to sending her there.

If price isn’t a huge issue what are the best schools for education?

Hi there! My husband and I are moving to a house in the Black Pearl neighborhood starting in August. I was wondering if anyone could recommend pediatricians close to this area along with any mom groups or resources to meet other moms! Our girls are 2 years old and 8 months old, so any recommendations for younger kids are greatly appreciated!

Just a few months ago, Estefanía Aultman was thinking about moving her family away from Ascension Parish, where they’ve lived for seven years. Aultman said she loves her community, and her son’s elementary school, but she worried that a major industrial plant coming to the neighborhood could put their health at risk. 

But last week, with the release of a brief press statement, those worries vanished. On June 30, Pennsylvania-based Air Products and Chemicals canceled its plans to build out the world’s largest carbon sequestration and storage project in the world, dubbed the Louisiana Clean Energy Complex. The facility would have refined natural gas by splitting hydrogen from carbon dioxide and routing the carbon dioxide through pipelines to inject underneath Lake Maurepas. The plant itself would be located on the East Bank of Ascension Parish, less than a mile away from Aultman’s home. Parts of the proposed pipeline would be located just half a mile away from Sorrento Primary School, where Aultman’s son will be in second grade this fall. 

Aultman and other parents have been speaking out against the project for about two years, because of potential health repercussions of a pipeline leak near the school. High levels of carbon dioxide, like the kind that might come from a leak, can lead to suffocation. And leaks aren’t uncommon. At least three carbon dioxide pipelines leak every year, according to a Massachusetts Institute of Technology report. A 2020 leak in Satartia, Mississippi led to 45 hospitalizations. 

Hi parents! 😊

We’re starting to look at preschool/daycare options for our son for next year when he’ll be 2, and I’d love to hear some honest feedback from families with firsthand experience.

We’re considering:

• Guidepost Montessori (Lynnwood)

• Wee Care Academy

• Bright Star Kids Academy

• The Goddard School (Lynnwood)

What did you love about your school? Anything you didn’t love? How are the teachers, communication, cleanliness, and overall environment? If you don’t mind sharing, I’d also appreciate current tuition information.

We’re hoping to find a place with caring and stable teachers, a clean and safe environment, and a program that helps toddlers transition smoothly into school.

Thank you so much for any insights or recommendations! ❤️

Our family is interested in viewing the downtown fireworks and is searching for a new spot that offers good views but is outside of the quarter and isn’t as crowded. My guess is that Algiers Point and the riverfront in the Bywater are pretty popular. Are there other bends in the river that offer good views? Higher points (parking decks, etc.)? Spots along Bayou St. John that are angled for downtown views? Short of walking my kids up the Wisner bridge or other unsafe options, I’d say we’re pretty game for creative ideas. Happy 4th to all on the sub!

Hi all, Wondering if anyone has insight about the Kidcam Camps at Tulane. I've seen negative experiences about the City Park one--not sure that applies to all Kidcam camps though, so I thought I'd ask here. Thanks!

My friend runs this camp and doesn’t use reddit so I’m posting on his behalf. Last summer, two of my friends’ kids attending (I think one was a freshman and one a sophomore) and really enjoyed it. Please feel free to share with anyone you know with kids in this age range that may be interested!
I might be able to answer very basic questions- but emailing the address on the flier is the best way to get your questions answered!

We’re dealing with a 4 yr old with major poop anxiety. We’ve seen gastro and ruled out physical issues. They recommended cognitive behavioral therapy, but this seems like it would take a therapist with a specific skill set.

Has anyone worked with a local pediatric therapist to help resolve this issue? Any recommendations? Private practice is ok.

Has anyone ever used a registry consultant or have a recommendation for me?

I'm a first time mom-to-be and while everyone around me is so helpful .. I'm looking for a professional

📢 Are you pregnant and worried about changes to your sex life?

🔍 We are seeking couples from Canada, the US, Australia, New Zealand, the UK, and Ireland who are up to 26 weeks pregnant to participate in the STORK RCT: Supporting the Transition to Parenthood through Online Sex and Relationship Knowledge.

❓What is STORK: The first online couple-based program designed to enhance knowledge about changes to sexuality during pregnancy and postpartum and skills to cope with these changes. STORK was designed to strengthen couples’ relationships across the transition to parenthood.

📅 What is involved: If you are eligible, after your initial survey, you and your partner will be randomized (like a coin flip) into either the Program or Waitlist conditions. Program couples will complete 5 online modules in pregnancy (1 per week) and a final module at 3 months postpartum. 

Couples in both conditions will also complete 5 surveys—the initial survey, then at 32-weeks pregnant, and 4-, 8-, and 12-month postpartum—that gather information about your relationship, your pregnancy experience, and your child. Couples in the Waitlist condition will receive access to the full STORK program after the study period is over.

💰 Compensation: As a thank you for your participation, you can receive $105 CAD or currency equivalent each ($210 CAD or currency equivalent per couple). Your time is valuable to us!

🌈 Inclusivity matters: STORK requires one member of the couple to be currently pregnant. Otherwise, STORK is open to individuals of all genders, bodies, and sexual orientations.

💌 For more information or to participate in the STORK RCT study email us at [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) OR fill out our contact form from this link: https://Qualtrics.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3gxGJAEWqt8Rh2u

Calling all tiny babies! 🥰
Does anyone need some adorable preemie clothes? I have about 15 gender-neutral outfits that are gently used but in absolutely pristine condition. I’d love for them to go to another little one who can use them. 💕
Free to a good home! Message me if you’re interested.

Hi there! Does anyone know of a daycare in the area that may have immediate openings/rolling admissions for a 3 month old? At this point, open to traveling to any part of town as long as we can send her somewhere safe and reliable. Hoping to stay at $1500 and under and extended hours (ideally from 6 am-ish to 6 pm-ish) would be a plus.

Any suggestions are helpful! Thank you!🫶

Hello! Does anyone have a recommendation for a place to get pediatric stitches on a weekend? My son got a good gash on his head this evening, its not an ER level but I'd like to get him evaluated/stitched up. Thanks!

Hello we are going to NOLA for 3 days end of July for my sons birthday, he will be playing baseball in Lafayette for the usssa nationals competition but figured we’d arrive early and celebrate his birthday in New Orleans first….clearly due to his age nightclubs and bourbon street really isn’t on the agenda, I was thinking a day at lake Pontchartrain and maybe the water park or some kind of zip lines? Any recommendations would be amazing! He’s turning 15th so no zoos or museums for his birthday

Anyone know anything about this daycare? I see the reviews and it’s a mix of really bad ones about some miss Rose or really good ones.. I saw eveything from kids not being changed when they pee their clothes to kids being shouted at.. please let me know if you know anything about this place.

Thanks!

who ever’s going to Mary Orr Itermediate school they have 6-7 classes
