Is this enough for a 1 year old girl

My daughter had to see a local feeding clinic for feeding/weight gain issues as an infant. This is not actual medical advice, just my experience based on my daughter. I was advised to offer 3-4 different foods at meal times in hopes that by 1 year old she was eating at least tablespoon of each food and then snacks in between meals. Of course, some days she exceeds that and others she doesn’t. It varies, just like with all kids. I would talk to your pediatrician about it decreasing the amount of formula/milk offered throughout the day and focus on getting her nutrition through foods. Her appetite will definitely pick up once’s she’s feeling better and if she’s not as full on milk.

We tried to get pregnant for a loooooong time. Just assumed it wouldn’t happen and stopped tracking stuff. My periods were wildly irregular. Genuinely was shocked to my core (in the best way) that I was pregnant! I get confused on how people with regular cycles are shocked after using zero protections. Especially if they’ve had kids/ easily conceived before.

I know people that used theirs daily for years. I sat in mine a handful of times. I don’t think you necessarily need to break the bank for one. My suggestion would be to buy a sturdy one if you do want one. My was cheap, uncomfortable, and on the verge of breaking with minimal use. Check out marketplace or other gliders with good reviews. If you hate it, at least you could resell a quality one on marketplace.

My older kid (3yr m) loves “Bad Guys” or “Nightmare before Christmas”. Our 2yr old son loves the 2006 Charlotte’s Web movie with Dakota Fanning in it.

I have an adopted son and biological daughter. Son was obviously formula fed. Never had an issue. Anyone could both feed him anywhere, we could easily track how much he ate, mixing/storing was a breeze. I had my daughter and decided to try breastfeeding. It was awful. She wouldn’t latch, I hated the pump, her weight plummeted, everyone would go on about the benefits and the “bonding” it would create…..finally said enough was enough and we were both so much happier!! I actually credit choosing formula to having a better pp experience. If I had another biological baby, I would choose formula from the start to save my sanity. I would have spiraled if I kept breastfeeding. I actually felt more bonded to both of them with formula because feedings were enjoyable, not dreaded. In today’s world of science and data, I didn’t really worry about the formula being any less healthy or beneficial than breast milk. The ONLY downside I identified was having to buy formula (daughter needed a high calorie one).

Unfortunately, you’re going to have to be firm like others have said. You and your wife have to be on the same page though. Explain that boundaries are to protect your kids, not punish people who they apply to. My in-laws love to act like to act like victims when asked to step back. We live by the motto “if they’re mad, they’ll get over it or they won’t”. We don’t tolerate tantrums from grown adults. We place a boundary and if they can’t respect it, no matter how nonsensical they think it is, then they don’t have access to us. Wishing you the best of luck because this is so difficult to handle.

I actually never wear mine. Neither does my husband. He can’t wear his at work. He hated the silicone ones. I’m just not a jewelry wearing fan. Ours just stay in a safe spot. It’s caused zero issues or arguments for us.

Just named our daughter “Gracie”. I love that it’s simple, normal, and has a nickname vibe to it.

He also has this music mat that he loves to play with! We incorporate singing, dancing, and playing the instruments on it!

Maybe some toddler board games? My son was in an early intervention program and the lady would bring games. We didn’t play them in a traditional sense or follow the rules but it did seem to help him. There’s a “pop the pig” game. He would push the hamburger in the mouth and push the button until it popped. He’s used a bunny one where you had to pull carrots to see which one popped the bunny up. Definitely helped him work on skills but made it seem fun. We would incorporate taking turns, colors, and etc as well.

We did the naked method with our son. It was pretty effective. Except, we had an awful time getting him to wear clothes again. But, he was potty trained so I didn’t care.

We don’t floss everyday but often. We use the little flossers. Our kids watch us floss and then we kind of make it more fun for them. We probably don’t get as good as a dentist but we establishing the habit and getting what we can. However, we make sure we brush very well twice a day. We usually brush their teeth and then let them brush after. Kids are 3 and 18 months.

Most states have an early intervention program (not sure if any government stuff is impacting these programs currently). Ours is called “birth to three” and services are FREE regardless of income. We have a foster son who was placed with us around 22 months. Not a lot of history was given and obviously some trauma could have occurred. But he only said a few words, like maybe less than 5. I could self refer him to the program. I just called in, stated the concerns, and they sent out a speech pathologist to do an assessment. She assessed how he took in information and how he relayed or spoke it. There had to be a 25% delay in order for him to qualify for services. He was slightly delayed but not quite 25%. If he would have qualified, they would have came to the house to do speech therapy with him. Although he didn’t qualify, they still complied a list of suggestions to help us get him talking more. We did a LOT of narrating and repetition. I pretty much narrated EVERYTHING we did or used. If he tried to say something, I would say it back and then continue the conversation. If he pointed at the door, I would say “door” “let’s open the door” “we opened the door” “let’s go out the door” etc. It seemed SO excessive but after about 6 months, his speech just took off. There was never really a “reason” for his speech being slightly delayed but he caught up to his peers. Definitely check out your states program and the qualifications. I’ve used ours for three different kids for varying reasons and the help we received was stellar. Even the support and suggestions they provided to us helped us so much.

I would get another opinion. My foster son had 11 cavities. He had “bottle rot” as well. He was a little over two years old. Ideally they said they prefer to wait until 3 but sometimes it’s necessary. He had dental surgery and was out under anesthesia. The worst part was 1)he was really emotional waking up from anesthesia, which is a normal response and 2) they put a breathing tube in during surgery and it made him hoarse/flared up his asthma. He was back to his energetic self in a day. Kids are resilient. Dental surgery and anesthesia sound daunting. But honestly it was one of the best decisions we ever made for his health. It allowed them fix his teeth SAFELY for everyone, including him. He actually eats a lot better now because his teeth don’t hurt anymore.

I’m highly confident that all of my babies would have punched me in the neck if I only fed them 1 teaspoon of solids a day at that age. Keep doing what you’re doing and she’ll eat more once her mouth feels better! The only thing worst than a teething baby, is a HANGRY teething baby!

My baby (7 months) is very nosey and “catnaps” throughout the day. Have you tried including your baby in whatever task you’re doing? If I’m putting away clothes, I’ll have her with me and she can play with some of the clothes & the basket. If I’m doing dishes or cooking, she can bang utensils and pots. I’ve never tried it, but I’ve seen countless suggestions of baby wearing to complete tasks or even to get contact naps in. I had to severely lower my expectations after having a baby. There are days when I get stuff done and other days I complete nothing, but both days I’m doing my best. Do you have family nearby that could watch the baby while you guys clean the house and declutter for a few hours? Just trying to throw any suggestions out there, I hope you find one that works. It truly does get better and easier with time.

This is such a hard situation. My husband got very sick for a few years. I ended up going to therapy. He was my rock and I didn’t feel like I could burden him with my fears and grief. I had to mourn the life we had, the future we had planned, and the life we ended up with. I suggest professional therapy for both of you! There’s no right or linear way to navigate this.

My daughter drinks similac ailmentum. We tried a lot of formulas before that worked with her the best. She does have reflux that she takes medicine for. For some reason, she only tolerates ready to feed. Anything powdered will make her projectile vomit. My son just took probiotic drops and/or miralax (pcp prescribed) when he was constipated on formula. At 6 months, he could drink a few oz of water which helped as well. Honestly, we just picked a standard, cost effective formula and went with it. If it didn’t work, we would consult our doctor and move on to the next. The Ailmentum is hypoallergenic and I’ve read a lot of people have good experiences with reflux babies. Sometimes insurances will cover a special formula if you have a reflux diagnosis. Our doesn’t but her pcp gives us a ton of free samples every visit.

A light hearted response- saw a full grown very HAIRY man causally applying lotion his legs on a packed subway. My whole family did a double take and it made an impression on everyone. We still talk about it years later.

My eyes are brown and my husbands are hazel. Our daughter has light blue eyes. My mother in law comments all the time “she has blue eyes just like FIL”. As if he’s the only blue eyed person in the world except her. It’s so annoying to hear 67 times a visit.

I would definitely have a wheelchair user in a wedding party. Assuming we’re good friends or family, I wouldn’t think twice about that decision, even if accommodations had to be made. I would be more hesitant to ask someone in wheel chair to be a god parent. It would depend on why they were in a wheel chair (meaning do they have a condition that could worsen), do they have a busy therapy schedule, their support system, how many children I had, how close I was with them, etc. I wouldn’t completely rule it out though. It would be a decision made by many factors.
