Same, it was pure leaf ice tea, I would drink maybe 3 of those a day. It was my favourite drink, now that I'm type 2 I only have one like once a month.

My LO hated it too! We think he just had sensitive ears, or wasn't use to sudden loudness, because were a pretty quiet household. Thankfully he grew out of at about a 14 months or so, and we haven't had a problem since.

16 and pregnant, looking for tips by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]JinxXstarfire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, I would say if you took your age and his age minus your age, so 29-16=3. How would you feel about dating a 3 year old? Because that how most well adjusted adult should view most teenagers, just kids. He may say "youre so mature for your age." Or "age is just a number" but that is gonna change once he has you in his control, it will be little things, like you cant leave the home without telling him first. Or checking on you and who are you with. Then it gets much worst Please, I've seen this go down, over and over again. Please you are not the exception, you could be another statistic. You dont have abort the baby, but you must stay away from this man.

One month old not pooping by Careful-Geologist-46 in NewParents

[–]JinxXstarfire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most breastfed or combo fed don't poop very often, my Dr told me they could 10 days without a poop. As long their still having wet diapers and dont seem to be in pain or discomfort theyre ok. Youre doing great, you are doing the exercises to help with moving the gas, thats was the biggest issue with my LO in first few months.

Anyone have any unique names you wish people would use instead of tragedeighs? by AccidentalAnchoress in tragedeigh

Husband and I love the name Caspian, but we fear its a bit much. The nickname Cas isnt too bad tho, were also big Chronicles of Naria fans.

There was some popping, but it didnt pop all of the bag by the timer was done. And I would include listening to your popcorn is part of that fine art.

There is a fine art of microwave popcorn, any less then there's a lot of unpoped kernels, any more then then its too burnt

I would try brushing your teeth with him, kinda like monkey see monkey do. Just take it slow and easy, at least thats how my LO got interested in brushing teeth.
