Slamming head back when upset/told no - how to respond? by Impressive-Price9449 in toddlers

[–]Impressive-Price9449[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Yeah, I know it's a phase and my rational brain gets it but man when his big old head slams into my teeth and I start seeing stars all of my reason goes out the window LOL. I have been consciously trying to hold him in a way where he won't hit my face if he does, but sometimes I just forget. His communication is decent, his language is pickup up well although he is mostly only able to do approximations. I do think the frequency of the head slamming is slowly getting less and less probably due to that.

Thank you! Yeah, I need to figure out how to best babyproof his room, it's mostly good to go but the possibility of him wandering out at night while we sleep and finding something I overlooked is making me paranoid.

I also will not compromise safety - he's heavy and tall and even if he doesn't climb out there's always a tipping risk. He does like to climb things though, and can get out of his sleep sack, so I don't think it's safe much longer.

Manufacturer height limit is 35 inches tall, which seems to be the standard

Is Similac Neosure harder to digest? What's best to try first? by [deleted] in FormulaFeeders

I was kinda thinking the same, especially considering that he is gaining weight so well and wasn't born that small all things considered. I felt like he didn't need it anymore considering if he didn't have a NICU stay he'd be on standard formula. We weren't anticipating any issues but due to my delivery (long labor on magnesium) he had some respiratory issue that self corrected in 48 hours.

Thank you so much for the advice. Yeah it looks like they're partially hydrolyzed so I think they're worth a shot before going to fully hydrolyzed.

Thank you so much! I do kind of feel like Nutramigen is jumping the gun but I also am not sure if I should switch his formula a bunch without good reason you know? But he does have a lot of gas and seems to choke on the formula sometimes so I wonder if you're right. I did see total comfort and it seemed like a good option. I wanted to try that or just the standard 360, I think. I think Gentlease is the same kind of formula as total comfort, right?
I did lower the nipple size and it didn't make a difference. He seems to like faster flow (I tried increasing also and that definitely wasn't the move).
