I've been on hellobee since I was TTC. I've gotten so many great tips that worked from here. The latest was to bring bedtime a little earlier to help with a raging child. Sometimes it takes an outsider to see the problem. 
We went from an 8:30 bedtime to a 7:30 bedtime and everyone is a whole lot happier.
What is the latest tip you got from hellobee that worked?

In the early days, white noise saved my life. I never would have thought of it without HB
HB also got me through sleep training which was awful. But we survived!

@mediagirl: Hooray! I'm glad bedtime is going better. I've learned so much on this site -- will have to think about the best gems and share when I remember.

@winter_wonder: same! It made the transition from rock in play to crib pretty easy.

DH was skeptical at first but not now
Eta: we never raised the crib.

Ignoring a tantruming child who is just seeking attention, instead of trying to console. This curbed our tantrums pretty quickly!

Leaving the pump supplies in the fridge in between pumping sessions instead of cleaning them every time.
Limiting screen time to curb tantrums.
Using the "binky fairy" to wean a toddler from the pacifier.

I've gotten lots of great gear recommendations. Most recently the toilet seat with the potty seat attached that can flip up has been awesome.
Also when DS1 was a baby I know I got good tips, just can't remember them now! I think learning that babies should go to sleep around 7pm came from here.

@catlady: YES! "Leaving the pump supplies in the fridge in between pumping sessions instead of cleaning them every time." Life changing.

Soooooo many things! I think I found out about magic merlin sleep suit from here and we loved it for DD.

@catlady: Yes about screen time - I learned that TV first thing in the morning before any free play (like while eating breakfast) really affects her behavior. We're back in a morning PBS Kids routine but at least I am aware of what I am doing this time, I guess

We didn't have to TTC #1 but for TTC #2 I got a lot of great tips here. How OPKs work, B-complex vitamins for lengthening luteal phase, Mucinex & PreSeed...

@daniellemybelle: I've never heard this! How does it affect her behavior (with and without)?

@mediagirl: Just recently I got the tip to move our son up a diaper size even though he is a full 6 pounds lighter than the top of the range for his current size!! He was leaking overnight and this solved the issue.

If I hadn't been on here for a while, I'd think my threenager was nuts. As it is, I know that it's normal to sometimes have a battle of wills over washing hands
I also have a lot more confidence in my decisions even when my entire family gangs up to question them.

Hmmmm...I can't remember off the top of my head the advice, but when i was going through the colic, MSPI, reflux newborn hell, the understanding and compassion from HB was so overwhelmingly amazing. It reaaaalllyyyy helped get me through those first 6 months.
