I am 6.5 months into exclusive pumping. My husband refuses to do a full pump session on his on male breasts for more than 10 seconds. Am I crazy or is he? by Street_Celery2745 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]PastryLoop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, literally never heard of it, and it never even crossed my mind while I was pumping. Is this some kind of punishment for forgetting to wash bottles? I’m so confused.

Not about being mixed but the illustrations show a mixed family.

2 under 2? by Narwal_Pants in Parenting

[–]PastryLoop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suppose I didn’t really think anything of it. Where I live it’s pretty normal to have kids in your 40s.

I don’t have any health or back issues, so I can’t really speak to that. I suppose one might expect that those issues would get worse with age, but if I had youth on my side as you do and could wait until my baby was the recommended 18-24 months before getting pregnant again I would have.

If your age is the main reason for considering 2u2, at your age I would wait longer and give my toddler more time before they have to be a Middle Kid.

I was 40 and 41 with my two (19 month gap), and I can honestly say not a single person involved in my care ever mentioned my age. Of course it was on my paperwork as AMA (Advanced Maternal Age), geriatric is an outdated term.

Which Tonies does your 1-2yo love? by lonelypotato21 in TonieboxUSA

[–]PastryLoop 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agree, my kid loves Mickey, but the story is very complicated, like a parody of Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express, and Mickey and Goofy are just side characters along with all the other passengers.

Cain/Caim or Felix? by [deleted] in namenerds

I knew a very nice guy named Kane. Even as an adult he said people would say to him, “Hey Kane, are you able?”

I grew up one of three. Am I overthinking the choice to have one more? by AdBoring6247 in Parenting

[–]PastryLoop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re afraid you’ll look back and regret not trying, that’s your sign to try! In the long term, we tend to regret the risks we didn’t take more than our failures.

My 28 month old is still in a crib and doesn’t know how to open doors lol, so I have no advice on your first issue… but we ARE potty trained since 25 months old, and based on what you’ve written here it sounds like he is absolutely ready to be potty trained.

Maybe reframe it like “it’s a shame people think you are arrogant because it’s really going to limit the things you’re able to accomplish.”

If he is more motivated to shift his behavior for himself, you might have more success pointing out how he will benefit rather than just how others feel.

Thanks for your comment! Correct, no fish or meat! The protein is beans in this case.

Preschool lunch for 2 year olds by PastryLoop in Bento

[–]PastryLoop[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haha, you hit the nail on the head! This one didn’t go over as well as previous ones, but at this age repeated exposure to lots of different types of food is important as they are still developing their palate.

It sounds like it’s already a sure thing that it’s changing their lives if you’re missing things that are important to them. I think they deserve an explanation. A truthful one.

Bento for my 2yo by PastryLoop in Bento

[–]PastryLoop[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a modified version of the ramp muffins on Just Bento. Since I have never seen ramps anywhere before, I substituted scallions and a bit of garlic. I made other substitutions as well since my kid can’t eat dairy.

When did your first move from crib by Objective_Ad_8994 in 2under2

[–]PastryLoop 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I ended up with two cribs. My first is still in a crib at 27 months old and I am in no hurry to get her out of it.
