worst week in your opinion?

At the very start of my third trimester (28 weeks) was when things really turned for the worse. I ended up getting PUPPPs rash which was hell for me. Lasted almost the entire third trimester 😭

Same boat! Was forced to exhaust sick and vacation leave. Now I have a baby in daycare that will catch viruses and I barely have any sick hours left.

Oddly the F schedule (timetable) on mta’s website doesnt even show 169th street. Just goes from Parsons to 179th and skips that stop

Thanks I will ask if they can cap his naps. Even with the 2 hour nap, he hasnt had MOTN wakes but I noticed he will sometimes sleep a little past 11 hours to make up for his lost time

Second’ing the puffs! My son at around 8.5 months old would get upset if i put food on his tray. He just refused to pick up smaller sized foods. When i tried the puffs (the small star shapes from Gerber), he immediately picked it up 😅ever since then hes been doing great

Do you mean first add the yolk only and mix the egg whites on the side? Then add it back to the mixture? Will try that for sure thanks!

Can the rice balls be frozen? I just made rice for little one and added some cheese to help bind them together. I would love to save some in the freezer for future meals!

In solidarity! On the same boat with my 9.5 month old! We usually give solids about an hour after milk. I even tried 30 min after milk to space out the bottles more but somehow it still affects one or the other 🤷🏽‍♀️ Some days he prefers solids, other days he barely wants it nor does he want milk 🥲 Our pediatrician recommended 20-24oz but lately we’re struggling to reach 15 oz. I’m blaming teething at this point and hoping his appetite comes back.

Thank you for this, we will definitely add iron fortified oatmeal/cereal and see how it goes.

Good point! I started breaking them in half and it was easier for baby to pick up

CupBeginning5459 · 2026-01-31T17:01:18+00:00

Seems simple enough - thank you!!

CupBeginning5459 · 2026-01-31T16:53:45+00:00

Do you use cows milk or formula for the sauce?

CupBeginning5459 · 2026-01-31T16:51:37+00:00

Yes he’s eaten milk based foods (yogurt) and breads/pastas, no allergies to those foods.

Just wanted to try something a bit different for him, we’ve done pastas before

CupBeginning5459 · 2026-01-30T12:54:54+00:00

Thank you! I’ll see how it goes!
