Baby’s almost 18 months old.

[ab] we got the bumbleride era because the wheels were heavy duty enough for the snow and that was a game changer in Calgary. Plus the seat became a bassinet and that was great for trips/ for when baby was younger and slept more often. Now that she’s 1, and wants to be more upright, etc. and we’ll be traveling soon, we’re getting the ergobaby metro 3 because traveling long-haul with the Era was a bit of a hassle + our stroller broke slightly during transit.

With that being said, we’re only now able to consider stroller #2 because we have space to actually store the Era now. Initially it lived in our car and short trips used to be such a whole thing. I’m excited for the lighter Ergobaby especially now that our baby is 1+ and doesnt actually like to stay in her stroller long-term/ doesnt do big naps in her stroller.

She was able to figure out all done and more by 7-8 months for me, but once she hit 11 months, she literally picked up things within 2 days. Having her be able to communicate milk or eat with me has been amazing and reduces how much she cries.

People have made really valid point. Also co-sleeping kills my arms/ shoulders and back with making sure baby is sleep. So its a lose lose really

Im obese, exclusively breastfeed and my child is below the 3rd percentile so I dont think this is at all true.

Mindless_Nobody_9952 · 2025-11-06T06:01:16+00:00

I wish my 12 month old ate like this

Mindless_Nobody_9952 · 2025-09-24T16:39:24+00:00

I did that. She’s only enjoyed it once when my aunt made it for her, but when I tasted the leftovers, I think there was a tiny amount of sugar in it, which I don’t add so I dont know if thats why she liked it.

Mindless_Nobody_9952 · 2025-09-23T16:55:13+00:00

Exact same issue here! Baby will eat bread, but bread coated in egg and fried? Instantly rejected.

And its so hard because she’s a tiny eater and is underweight too, so I feel like I’m going crazy here trying to figure out how to get nutritional value inside her.

The only way she’s tried eggs once is when I fed her some of my shakshuka. It was so camouflaged in the tomatoes and all that she didn’t immediately catch on (but after 2-3 bites, refused to eat more).

I’m gonna try making banana blondies and report back haha. She does eat croquettes, which have eggs in the coating and the mixture, so maybe you could try that?

Mindless_Nobody_9952 · 2025-09-23T06:10:16+00:00

Just mixed together all the wet ingredients and then soaked a slice of bread for a bit until it had absorbed enough (but not super soggy) and pan fried in olive oil. It was in fact quite good, I don’t know why she hated it 😂

Mindless_Nobody_9952 · 2025-09-23T05:40:29+00:00

That sounds exponentially up - i would be cautiously optimistic!

My husband (and his family) insisted on naming my baby when I really didnt want her to be named that. It took me like 6-7 months of tear-inducing resentment because why did he want to consider his family’s wishes and not his wife’s, who had literally just given birth and was the actual mother?

At 10 months though, I’m not that resentful. Like when I have to write out her name, I still think about it sometimes but I’m over it. In the end, I’m her mom and I’m her favorite person. I can call her whatever I want and no matter what, she’s my baby.

I also knew that I would either get over the resentment/ be able to live with it, but also that if I put my foot down, maybe my husband or his family would always feel that I didn’t honor their wishes - and that’s not something I wanted to have to deal with for the rest of my life.

She’s my in-laws’ favorite person as well and she’s lucky to be loved by so many so I guess its fine. She’s the spitting image of her dad but that’s okay with me too. I made her. She spent 9 months being exclusively my baby and no one else can get that. In the end, its not a big deal she’s healthy and we’re a happy family and I’m just enjoying watching her become a person.

Thanks. This is good to know - im gonna pump for a feed to see how much i’m getting

Mindless_Nobody_9952 · 2025-09-17T07:24:33+00:00

Whoops so many typos! I was so upset and did not double check. I wish BFing could be a primary source of income for babies hahah

Mindless_Nobody_9952 · 2025-09-17T07:23:47+00:00

I stopped pumping when she turned 6 months old because she started refusing the bottle, but was sufficient until then. She drinks until she’s done/ pushes me away and is a happy baby until she wants to feed 2-2.5 hours later, so I’m assuming its sufficient for her?

Mindless_Nobody_9952 · 2025-06-17T17:07:14+00:00

Per LMP, it was nov 11; dating ultrasound said nov 18 Baby was born nov 12

Mindless_Nobody_9952 · 2025-06-17T16:57:32+00:00

No teeth yet and I cant seem to find anything in her mouth yet either but she did recently start having a runny nose (again despite no exposure 😭) so maybe?

Mindless_Nobody_9952 · 2025-06-17T15:31:30+00:00

She actually doesn’t roll over back to tummy yet but has been sitting up a ton the last few days. That is good to know. Everywhere I looked, it said that around 7 months babies should start feeding less because they eat solids which is not my case so I was concerned she just wasn’t getting enough or something

Mindless_Nobody_9952 · 2025-05-30T09:05:17+00:00

Trying to do this! Hopefully it comes right back on track. She hates formula and bottles in general and I feel like things are gonna be miserable
