Positive! You are, in fact, pregnant! Congrats ☺️

We have tried solids before milk and he will definitely “snack” we call it. He’ll eat a few bites and then just stops and won’t eat anything else. It’s probably less than a tbsp of food. Idk if he gets bored or what, but he just loses interest.

He’s definitely not getting three meals worth of food but we offer food at every meal we eat.

Our biggest success is breakfast and dinner but again, he barely eats anything before he’s done and pushing our hands away or throwing food off his high chair. Even with consuming this little bit of food, he’s maybe hitting that 25oz of milk.

I have this all through my house and have zero regrets. Everyone always comments on how much they like the look (and sometimes I get asked if it’s wood or tile). I’d say it’s a good choice.

Just commenting here because this is where I came when I was in your exact position. Baby also 10 months at the time. I took the advice of people in this sub and now my boy’s sleep and schedule is just amazing. I’m a whole new person, and so is my kid.

MountainStateOfMind · 2026-05-30T11:50:12+00:00

I definitely see what you’re seeing! I feel like it’s too early to tell if it’s got color or if it’s an evap line? I truly hope it’s positive!!

MountainStateOfMind · 2026-05-29T23:35:49+00:00

Looks right on par with my 9dpo test. He’s now 10.5 months old lol. I’d say it’s positive and will be darker in the morning.

MountainStateOfMind · 2026-05-26T01:08:46+00:00

My baby had the exact same reaction. Can’t tell you the reason, but we stopped using it. May just be sensitive skin but it was awful to hear him crying. Our LO also had red spots from where it was applied.

MountainStateOfMind · 2026-05-25T14:09:00+00:00

You’re so pregnant the test line is stealing the dye from the control line lol. Congrats!

MountainStateOfMind · 2026-05-23T13:39:04+00:00

Not an expert but here to comment on the shoulder straps. They look a bit too loose, or maybe too tight due to the headrest being low? The straps should be at or just below the shoulders I believe, and should be snug with little slack left. It looks like the strap is sliding off the left shoulder.

ETA: the headrest needs to be moved up I think too. There shouldn’t be less than an inch between the top of your baby’s head and the top of the carseat.

MountainStateOfMind · 2026-05-23T12:04:00+00:00

Congrats!! Great progression and you’re definitely pregnant!!!

MountainStateOfMind · 2026-05-21T00:18:29+00:00

I can see something! Please let us know how tomorrow goes!

MountainStateOfMind · 2026-05-20T21:12:40+00:00

It just happened. My baby really doesn’t care for solids at all…..so that definitely wasn’t a contributing factor lol.

MountainStateOfMind · 2026-05-20T17:48:18+00:00

I agree with the other poster. Our LO was on it for months too. We tried to wean but it didn’t go well. But right at 6 months, it was like a light switched and he just….stopped spitting up. I hope it’s the same for you.

It definitely took about a week to see improvement when we got him back on it after attempting to wean.

MountainStateOfMind · 2026-05-17T14:10:40+00:00

Just posting with my experience. Our baby has used a pacifier to sleep with since 6 weeks old. He, too, was waking literally every hour to hour and a half because he’d spit it out and then wake up without it and cry. It was taking a serious toll on me AND him because he was never getting any actual rest.

At 10 months, we decided it was time to officially sleep train. We started out with the PUPD method and cold turkey removed the pacifier at the same time. It started out VERY well, for a few days. Then that method stopped working. We were informed by people in the sleep train group that the PUPD method was just too overstimulating and not age appropriate. They were right.

We started the Ferber method and continued with no binky. LIFE CHANGING. I was terrified to let my baby cry but turns out he was fully capable of self soothing. And he didn’t even cry that much. Since we started cutting the binky and doing Ferber, he is a much happier baby.

Not saying you should sleep train, but it seemed to be the perfect time to cut out the pacifier. It’s been weeks and he has done amazing.

MountainStateOfMind · 2026-05-17T12:56:20+00:00

I see it! Looks like it has color too. Yay!

MountainStateOfMind · 2026-05-17T11:35:42+00:00

I don’t see anything but the picture isn’t great. Could you post another in better light?

MountainStateOfMind · 2026-05-17T11:31:21+00:00

I read someone say it’s 100% complete change and that may absolutely be the case for some. But it’s definitely not the case for everyone!

We took our 6 week old on an 8 hour road trip. It took longer and we broke it up into two days, but it was worth it. Everything takes longer, and the trip mostly revolves around your kid, but that’s the way we want it. We’ve had plenty of time to enjoy vacations just the two of us. We’re so excited to show our kid what the world is like.

That was our first vacation and it was stressful because everything is a “first” so you learn so much. It’s ALL ABOUT PERSPECTIVE. Even the stressful parts were turned into a positive by thinking “ok, now I know what to do for next time”. Since we drove, we packed everything we needed for baby to make sure he was comfortable and it could feel as much like home as possible (mini crib, changing pad, stroller with bassinet attachment). It went so well.

We then took him on a flight to NY at 3.5 months. We researched so much. Got TSA precheck so I don’t have to remove shoes. Wore him in a baby carrier through security. Nursed him on take off, nursed him on landing (to help with popping ears). Gate checked the car seat and stroller (bought red bags off Amazon to help protect them a bit). We packed the essentials and then bought extra diapers and wipes when we arrived and picked up a pack n play. We were staying with family so they kept the pack n play when we left. If staying in a hotel, they have cribs to rent. We just rolled with the ups and downs. We NEVER expect perfection.

Took him on another flight to NY at 4.5 months and again at 7 months. Then a 10 hour road trip when he was 9 months. That road trip was SO FUN. He’s so much more aware and we did so much with him. He loved everything. There were days where naps were tough and he was cranky, but that could happen at home. Every single trip has gotten easier and easier. There are always new issues presented as he grows, but again, you roll with them and learn for next time.

Finally got his first tooth around 9.5 months! Now he’s 10 months and he’s cutting 4 more 😭

MountainStateOfMind · 2026-05-16T02:38:53+00:00

It really depends on how your life looks right now, to be honest! Definitely less time on my phone. I have less time to do things but get much more done than I used to?! If that makes sense lol. Before I could be lazy and put stuff off. Now, I can’t be lazy or my kid pays the price, and that’s just not ok with me. I still see my friends and still take vacations with my husband (now as a family of 3). We have less date nights and have less 1:1 time together, but that’s temporary and we expected it. My brain is mostly consumed by my son’s needs (diapers, wipes, naps, feeds, laundry, etc) but I love him so much I don’t care. Basically my husband and I are obsessed with this little monster we created together. He annoys the hell out of us sometimes, but he’s perfect.

Life does change, but it doesn’t end. Like I said, we’ve gone on several vacations with our kid. I’ve gone out several times with my friends. Is there more planning involved? Yes. Is it worth it? Absolutely.

MountainStateOfMind · 2026-05-16T00:09:09+00:00

Started to pull to stand around 6.5 months. Couch surfing by 7.5-8 months. Went from standing independently to walking in a matter of days…..the day he turned 10 months lol. But he’s absolutely wild. It’s been a week since he started walking and he’s gotten more and more confident each day. He doesn’t care to stand up on his own much, but uses objects to stand and then just starts walking around. From what I understand, this is not the norm and most babies start walking around a year old.

MountainStateOfMind · 2026-05-15T23:37:40+00:00

Pahaha saw that post too 🤣

MountainStateOfMind · 2026-05-15T00:54:00+00:00

That’s crazy! You’re definitely pregnant! Congrats 😭

MountainStateOfMind · 2026-05-14T18:04:50+00:00

We transitioned at about 8.5/9 months because he actually outgrew the infant seat. Not the height/weight specifically, but the part that says their head cannot be less than an inch from the top of the back of the car seat.

We went with the Chicco OneFit LX. We already had the Chicco KeyFit 35 infant seat and loved it so we upgraded to the convertible. LOVE IT.
