I have two and I’m not going to travel unnecessarily with them. There is a time and age for everything.

Make sure you have a good stroller (ie big wheels on it) and take walks along the lakefront. Otherwise, do what interests you the most... baby won't care!

3 month olds are super portable… I’d honestly do anything except for live music. Walk around the lake front, eat some good food. Art museums are a usual must-see for me in a city, and it’s perfect for a baby (as long as you can keep the stroller with you).

Wonder museum

Architectural boat tour on the river (or extend to include the lake/skyline view) - strollers are allowed.

Shop mag mile if you’re into that - the Nordstrom at Shops at North Bridge has a nice nursing room.

Walk the lake path by Oak Street Beach / navy pier.. don’t actually recommend going inside Navy Pier though.

Uber to west loop for at least one meal. Otherwise Sienna Tavern is a good option closer to your hotel. Enjoy!

I love the Garfield park conservatory, and it’s free :-)

Hi there. I previously had a beautiful baby girl through IVF and emergency c-section. Now I'm in the process of completing my pre-requisites before another FET.

I tried Googling but can't find any info. Anyone been through this before and know what they're referring to? I just like to be as informed as I can.

I know everyone will have different answers for this but how did you know it was time to get sober? I think it might be time for me to find a new job and pursue sobriety, but I don't feel like I'm a rock bottom which is the only time I've ever seen people really commit to it (my father). Apathy isn't the right word but I just kind of feel numb about everything and I think being sober would maybe help.

529 Plan VERSUS Prepaid

We live in Florida and currently have a Freshman in High School and a 16 month old. We hear from our friends and family with college bound children "I wish we would have done Florida PrePaid." After obviously ignoring this for years, we are finally trying to do it before "it's too late" for both children.

Does anyone have recommendations on which plan to go with for each child? I once did the pros and cons on a whiteboard and it seemed like 529 was better.

Has anyone ever done aggression training for their dog? Met with a trainer who basically wants us to either keep our dog crated or on a leash at all times and said no pets or play time for now. Our dog has been acting out ever since we brought home our newborn and also bit our groomer. Trainer has me terrified that the dog will hurt the baby but my heart is breaking that I can’t give any “love” to my dog right now. Any similar experiences or thoughts?
