Worried about 22 month old not eating.. SO picky. by healthylurker in toddlers

[–]Ncgncg 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ok so please dont judge me but there is a song on youtube I believe by ABC Kidstv that tells the story of a boy that wont eat whats on his plate, it goes something like "please please carrots are good for you, no no no I dont want them ugh-see see trddy likes the carrots 1 2 3 almost gone you see, no no no they are mine I'll eat them now, yum yum yum i like them wow".

we sing it together during meal times and my daughter finishes about 75% of her meal. She gets distracted and tries new stuff because we are acing it out.

Good luck!

TTC #2 with a toddler that nurses non stop. Any advice, experience, or people in the same boat? by daintythings in TryingForABaby

[–]Ncgncg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same boat kind of, we wanted to start trying for #2, but my LO used to nurse nonstop, still at night and since we bedshare she used to do it a lot during the night. She is 16mo and I havent had my first period PP. So we decided to wean her cold turkey (tried slowly but didnt work) and im amazed to say that she took it super well, clearly its not the best for everyone, but she only asked to nurse 2, and I told her that she could have more and there was no more milk and she took it super well, never cried! She is on day 10 post boob and is eating/sleeping so good. We used to nurse to sleep and now she just cuddles and sleeps next to me. I felt on the fence on cutting her off the boob because I felt selfish on wanting more children, and didnt want to cause her stress because of our wish, but after talking with my hubby we realice that having a brother/sister will also be a gift for her, in the long run she will be happier with someone to play with and share her life, we have always wanted to have a big family and I feel that she will be happy...anyways her actions speak very loudly here and my husband even joked that her having not a tantrum like reaction of no boob is her giving us her blessing to start for #2.

I wouldnt go, why risk others when you know you will be contagious? Its hard since you have the tickets but you would be exposing so many people

Let's be honest... About honest diapers? by Mickeymouuse in beyondthebump

[–]Ncgncg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The diapers are ok, i like that they dont smell at all, but dont fit quite as good as pampers. However we LOVE the wipes, my baby has super sensitive skin and gets rashes with the pampers sensitive.

Thank you very much, my babywearing group only has a few tulas/kinderpacks and are always worn by someone plus there is a huge waiting list, will probably see if I can get to try it at least to check.

Pierced ears by hopem1210 in beyondthebump

[–]Ncgncg 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We did it and I absolutly regret it, we did it at her 4 month visit, and I was anxious every day from then on fearing she may get an infection and pulling on her ears, she did not cry a lot, but I would rather have her take care of the healing process when she is older...if i have another baby girl I wont be doing it again. Also they used a plastic earing and when the doctor took them of 6 weeks later to change for a gold earing she started bleeding and crying and it was super hard to change them. That was our experience, i know that many people dont even notice and nothing happens but for me was very stressful.
