    Ray Shade--- Anyone use it?

    I keep a few clothespins or linkadoos handy so that I can pin it back without taking it off and on when we needed to give DS more visibility. Came in handy. Love our Aira, but it has a wimpy sunshade. Ray Shade was perfect for us.

    New Liquid Restrictions for Airlines

    Thanks! I guess we will pack the biggest bottle we can find and pray he drinks from it (or we get to tastetest PJ - ick). Good thing we booked direct. Will probably ship formula, too just to be sure.

    New Liquid Restrictions for Airlines

    Any ideas on how this will affect so many of us here? Son is tubefed at night with meds and takes bottles during the day. Always pack liquid meds and formula for at least 2 days in carryon. We don't fly until the end of Nov, so plenty of time to see how it shakes out, but I bet some of you...

    Quieter Fireworks Places?

    Is there still a patio by Narcoosee's? We went out there after a meal and watched before. If you dress up the earmuffs to look like a character headband - would that make them more "palatable?"

    Chewable Meclizine for Travel Sickness

    Try it before you go! Meclizine is less drowsy, but still knocks me flat. I take 1/4 to 1/2 of a 12.5mg pill when I need it for my vertigo. Takes me a good day to get over it. Not everyone is such a lightweight with meds, but even my husband and inlaws have to take it slow with Meclizine for...

    Is it worth the "cheap" trip?

    Does your conference offer deeply discounted tickets? Would you want to pay to do a water park? What sort of nonpark things would you do (poolhop? waterpark? minigolf? movies? shopping?) - how much would they cost - would it come close to a day or two in the parks? I can justify both sides...

    G-tube in disney parks and cruise

    Another plug for cyproheptadine - though many doctors seem scared of it or think it doesn't work. Our ped GI wouldn't prescribe it, but our ped nutrition md did. So glad! Works wonders for my DS who is 25 months old. Major birth defect affecting his digestive tract caused him to be FTT and...

    IV poles?

    We have also used carabiner hooks and attached to lamps or even the packnplay. Depending on your child's mobility and what we call sticky fingers, you can just use a backpack and place it in the bed/crib/packnplay. Unless you are doing gravity feeds, it doesn't have to be up. We used...

    feeding tube help!!!

    Our ds is 25 months and has a gtube. We LOVE it. It has taken the pressure of all of us so that feeding isn't a battle. Ng tube for 6 months b/c surgeon really hoped to avoid gtube placement b/c of mixed up anatomy. Couldn't avoid and was the very best decision we could have made. He eats...

    What is your favorite Disney CD?

    We love the older Illumniations cd without the creepy children talking/singing. Sounds too much like the witches out of Macbeth.

    Had to use a regular stroller as a WC for part of our last trip

    My ds has been tubefed from birth due to a birth defect and surgeries of his abdomen. We took him to WDW when he was 6 months old and still ngtube fed (now have gtube/button). He was continuous fed and it was so awkward getting him out and the pump or taking down the syringe we attached for...

    Grrrr.... sneaky credit card

    I also watched that Oprah episode. Seems like the gentleman on the panel said he was able to go back in for a client and reopen accounts that were closed so that he could negotiate lower rates, pay off and then close. Would that be an option? Definitely check your credit report.

    Your Best Disney Photo Tips

    My husband actually looks for groups of people taking a photo so he can offer to take the pic for them. Makes his day. Our biggest lesson has been using the zoom appropriately and kneeling down for most photos of larger groups or of children. Helps with the wide angle and for getting a...

    Help:Days Inn Florida Mall

    Days Inn FL Mall - stayed there in 1998 and for some stupid reason AGAIN in 1999. Unless there has been some very serious overhauling done, I wouldn't even park in that lot. We did not feel safe going out of the room even for ice at night. It was loud and very run down. We only paid...

    Advice for Tube Feeding with a Pump

    We had a wonderful trip - ah, the joys of no appointments or home health care visits for 10 days. With my husband there, I could even take uninterrupted showers - amazing! Thank you so much for your advice and words of encouragement. We finally gave up on oral feeds and tube fed all week...

    Question About "Juggling It All" At the Airport

    We just got back Monday - so this is what we did. Our local airport is really small. We used the skycap to check luggage and bypassed waiting in line. Hubby parked the car while I filled out our address cards for the skycap. On arriving in Orlando, we rented a cart and piled it to the...

    Off-site car rental: Where can family wait at MCO?

    We have rented a car from an off-site company for our upcoming trip. We have done this before and we didn't mind the shuttle. However, NOW we have a baby, stroller, and 2x the luggage. Is there a place at MCO the family can wait while I go get the car? I know there must be a...

    Another stroller question, help!

    I love my PegPerego Aria. Bigger basket than the Pliko and lighterweight. Has carry handle. Easy fold. Weighs about 9lbs. Haven't had it long so I can attest to longevity, but so far we are very happy. Sun shade is small - so we bought the kiddopatomus Ray Shade at BabiesRUs.

    whats the little things you need to budget for?

    at least one CD - some choices: Four 4 a Dollar, Park Music, Off Kilter, Voices of Liberty, American Vybe, etc. for me - feeding the dolphins at SeaWorld can really add up at least one mickey bar and one popcorn - I also like ice cream on Main Street and chocolate covered strawberries at...
