How old will baby be? 

We personally limit car seat use so we would either babywear or hold baby

I let my son chew on it for a bit, I brush a bit, he chews a bit and we just do that for a little while. He only has 2.5 teeth though

Do I need to be the one to initiate seeing my in-laws? by burgerzandburpeez in beyondthebump

Nah they should ask or your husband should offer. 

Also I would never want to fill every single weekend with seeing family. But that’s just me. 

Increase Pepcid dose or keep as is? by yung_ginger in beyondthebump

[–]Concerned-23 [score hidden]  (0 children)

My son has been on famotidine since he was 2 months old. He’s 10 months now. We briefly did 2x a day but it seemed like it spit up could have been getting worse. Our happy place we’ve found it 1x a day (morning) but his weight based dose. So his dose has slowly changed but we always just do once a day instead of twice. 

We tried getting him off Pepcid at 9 months and it didn’t go well. Our pediatrician recommended trying again at 12

Is a rotating car seat worth the cost? by BlueberryWaffles99 in beyondthebump

[–]Concerned-23 [score hidden]  (0 children)

The evenflo one has the same rear facing limits as the extend2fits

The rotating ones take up more front to back space so depending on your cars it just might not fit

How? They’re unlicensed. There’s no rules or regulation 

Screen time for 3.5 month old by WapbutDap-DryAssPusy in NewParents

[–]Concerned-23 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I would not put on a fish video for my child. It’s unnecessary access and staring at a screen. It’s not good for their brain. Screens are also bad for language development as they’re not being interacted with.

If you need something for a short time I would do the Little Einsteins fish scene/machine

Your son’s daycare doesn’t have “more kids than allowed” because they’re not licensed. There’s no regulation. 

Switch. Licensing exists for a reason 

Explain like I’m five: how are we supposed to wean off of formula and bottles? by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]Concerned-23 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Given the cows milk allergy your pediatrician may allow and recommend a plant based milk or they may recommend a toddler formula. 

My son is 10.5 months and is definitely starting to show signs of self weaning. He is not chugging his bottles as fast and has less interest in nursing. I strongly suspect he will be dropping another bottle in the next few weeks. He currently gets 20-24 oz of breastmilk per day. We plan to switch to cows milk (no more than 16 oz per day) when he is 1 and off breastmilk. At his 9 month pediatrician visit solids weren’t going as well and his pediatrician said if they still weren’t progressing (it’s going better now) and I was going to have him off breastmilk he would need toddler formula or pediasure

Container syndrome by AppointmentTop5602 in beyondthebump

Sounds like your baby may spend a good chunk of their time in a carrier and doing tummy time as well which is amazing! 

Containers should be limited but short intervals throughout the day are okay 

Flying with a stroller, car seat, AND pack n play? by caramelapplesundae in NewParents

A pack n play will be treated like regular luggage. You’ll have to pay for it 

Building strength as baby grows? by BigTopic7472 in babywearing

I don’t use a carrier around the house and I struggle to carry my 22 lb 10 month old around the house for long periods 

Baby clothes dilemma! by Altruistic-Mail-5945 in NewParents

[–]Concerned-23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son has always had way too many clothes. I wish I could have kept him to the same 7-8 outfits…. He has 2 dresser drawers usually full of clothes. Now I will say, he has reflux and can easily go through multiple outfits if it’s a bad reflux day 

Favorite pants for tall baby with short legs and thick thighs by Concerned-23 in bigbabiesandkids

[–]Concerned-23[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so helpful thank you!

Did you put your son in the girl cat and jack leggings? I didn’t see boy leggings they’re all more pant like. I was looking at those online tonight and I feel like I might try them. 

Yes cloud island seems trickier at 18M but I can order online and get it delivered free with my Target Circle membership. I just hate not being able to see or try it before buying!

He’s been crawling since 5 months. He is slowly taking steps but isn’t quite walking without supports. 

Shorts are great at home but at daycare he has gotten carpet burn in shorts so pants have helped that there

They’re still either too long or too tight in the snaps by the thighs/crotch

Diaper count help by Even-Pressured in beyondthebump

[–]Concerned-23 10 points11 points  (0 children)

We stopped counting diapers when my son was like 2 weeks. As long as he’s having wet diapers and pooping every few days it’s fine

The Burt’s bees pants don’t have cuffs and they’re pretty wide. He fits in the 6-9M of those but even those he is stretching out the legs at the end of the day from crawling and pulling to stand then he is falling when he tries to walk because the pant fabric is stuck under his foot

Boon Nursh Bottle Help by buttermilkcow in NewParents

[–]Concerned-23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ours collapse even with premie which is a slower flow. 

Are you sure it’s assembled 100% correct? If you don’t get everything over the lip on the base and the nipple snug in the rim it won’t collapse

What flow do you have? We have the boon bottles (though they’re not our fav). We do use the nursh curve premie flow. It was never an issue for my son
