  Melissa Morgenstern: "Can't live without\nGet the electronic snot sucker. Game changer!! In my experience, I think the manual is slightly more effective, but electric is still pretty good. I reach for both equally based on whatever is clean/closer to grab lol. Electric is slightly easier logistically because you can hold it with one hand and hold baby down with the other, without having the long tube they can swat and the piece in your mouth. Anyway, I appreciate having both"

Melissa Morgenstern: "Can't live without\nManhattan Pediatrics is THE BEST. Only physicians no nurses or PAs etc so every time you call or go you’re only seen by a pediatrician which feels very reassuring. The docs are all parents who wanted to work while balancing being a parent so their hours and stuff are really great because they all cover for each other. Obsessed with Dr. Long!"

Dova Photography

Melissa Morgenstern: "Not for us\nUsed Karina Dova photo who took really great raw photos but did very strange editing on them when sending final photos (they were orange). When we asked for originals she refused to provide them and was quite upset with us — and instead re-edited and they had a strange over-brightness on it. I would’ve used her again based on the proofs but the editing makes her a likely no-go as it sort of ruined the photos."
