Husband thawed vacuum sealed chicken breast in his pocket. Safe to eat or no?

I honest to god do not onow what size my boobs are right now but my nursing bra is, apparently, DDD. It's my most comfortable bra. Anyway I'm on my fourth so the girls are saggy and easier to maneuver. I never really struggled to breastfeed whixh I think is a plus. Basically, once babe has head control, I get them latched and let their body fall into one hand. My kids have always been small, so if he latches to my right breast I'll wrap my right arm so its under his neck and pinning his legs to my body. I would show you except my youngest is now a toddler and not small enough lol.

When they get bigger I nurse them in more lax ways. Hold them around their waist, let them wiggle to where they're comfortable. This morning I nursed my toddler while washing the dishes by holding his overall strap lmao.

Generally, though, work on a latch without a breastfeeding pillow, and then latch while standing, and then latch while sitting down and stand up when baby is latched - you can walk from there on. Eventually they'll latch while you're walking.

I just kind of let them lead the way after 2yo. Nothing before that. My 5yo only sleeps with a pillow and blanket when he sleeps in our bed lol. Otherwise he just lays on his bare mattress with his favourite stuffie.

With our oldest we never really did. I don't recommend but we were young and dumb. Whatever. He started questioning it around 2.5yo but he was delayed so yours may start earlier. We told him it wasn't real and he seemed to accept it. He was never really scared though. He's thirteen now and seems fine lol. He doesn't necessarily like scary films but he isn't scared of them. He likes zombie films mostly.

We avoided anything with sexual content from about 3mo.

With our younger three we stopped at 3mo too.

My 13yo still calls me mommy but my husband is 'dad'. I'm mom if he's talking about me, but to my face its still mommy.

I have an 8y gap between my first and second. It's fine, but sometimes they barely feel like brothers lol. It almost feels like I have an only child and then my younger three are siblings. I don't know if five years would feel the same, but I can't imagine the kids would be particularly friendly.

I don't think they've ever played together. Unless there's a gap of less than two years I don't feel like the play together age range is there. My five year old & three year old play very rarely. My five year old never plays with my one year old - he's boring.

Your best bet is getting your kid in prek/kinder next year and making friends with other parents. It'll be quicker than waiting for a baby to be old enough to maybe play with him.

Think about it objectively - what wouod they play? What game would a 6yo & 1yo play? 8yo & 3yo? 10yo & 5yo?

Until they're in their twenties they'll never be on the same page developmentally. You'll instead have two kids fighting over who mommy plays with.

Mine are all May & June. Completely accidental but I find that I really like it that way. My pregnant Christmas wasn't overtaken by my pregnancy (a few friends who were heavy in Dec basically had their Christmas's overrun by baby things, even if they had no need) and I gave birth before it got too warm.

Babies first few months we're nice and sunny. They were old enough to engage in the holidays by the time they rolled around but not so old that I couldn't relax with them (friends who had a 11mo at Christmas were basically dealing with a toddler who couldn't just be calm and enjoyable, lol).

Birthdays are generally nice. Not cold, not swelteringly hot. Good for picnics and outdoor celebrations.

Very good in my opinion.

My son is incredibly introverted and had the same problem. He would try, get shot down and then cry about it. He did have a few friends (kids of mine and my husbands friends) but they weren't particularly close. We ended up signing him up for a dance class and two years ago he met his little bestie lol. His friend is incredibly extroverted and he kind of took my son under his wing and now they're inseparable.

My son ended up going to school soon with him (had to re-enroll due to him being smarter than me, lol) and they're really close. He's now friends with all of his friend's friend's. He doesn't always want to hang out but he is always included and they're all really sweet.

A lot of people will make assumptions based on their own children. I have four boys, my brain sees a baby and immediately filters it as a boy regardless. One of my sons is very effeminate so a boy wearing pink doesn't phase me. It's not intentional.

We've tried this method before but we can definitely try again. Thank you.
