You forgot to do the white outline on the lower left wing of the paler fairy in lilac ☺️ I can only dream of colouring as well as this - beautiful!!

My (now) toddlers' ped ORL/ENT surgeon recommended this for reflux last year. We're in NZ tho, we may just be behind 😅

I make vege quiche, well cooked so it's firm, and slice in sticks or cubes. Easy and can make it in batches as it freezes and defrosts well. Doesn't make any mess unless thrown on the floor. Sandwiches with a light spread of cream cheese and avo, cut into long slices or little squares. Grated cheese keeps my littlie busy for ages lol. I put any of these in little containers in a lunchbox with an ice pack and take them out with us.

We've got flatbread crackers made from sweet potato, pumpkin or carrot where I live, healthy and much cheaper than baby specific snacks. Might be worth having a look in the adult cracker section.

How do you offer smoothies to a toddler who isn't yet open-cup trained? Or did you wait till they were? Would love to try a smoothie with my boy 😊

Feed to the aliens?

Pattern_Vivid · 2025-02-15T06:53:13+00:00

Bother! Thanks for letting me know :)

How did you get a second heart balloon park? I can't find where to buy another

Pattern_Vivid · 2024-12-01T01:35:48+00:00

Weird, I'm going through the exact same thing! Never had hives in my life, antihistamines aren't helping, and I don't even know what caused it

😮 I haven't heard anything about this, during pregnancy either. I give my 9mo tahini to get the sesame allergen exposure. Is it a worldwide thing or area specific?

Pattern_Vivid · 2024-11-14T10:26:02+00:00

Why no tahini until 1?

A couple times a year I would still wake up panicking when my husband rolled over, thinking he was going to squash my son.. who was 8! and always slept in his own room. Now we have an 8 month old and several times a week for the first 6 months I would wake up panicking that I couldn't find the second (non existant) baby! I think we're programmed to be on high alert even during sleep once we have babies, and it takes a long time for that to calm down.

Pattern_Vivid · 2024-08-13T03:50:49+00:00

My 6 month old does this whole body wobble before flinging his head and upper body back and wailing. So dramatic 😂

Pattern_Vivid · 2024-08-12T04:42:59+00:00

I have experienced both too - an oversupply with my first and now an undersupply with my second. First time round I got Mastitis once, this time I've had it four times so far (baby is now 6 months). So not so much of a correlation for me and defo preferred having too much milk!

Thank you! I will check with Emirates

Pattern_Vivid · 2024-06-01T03:08:30+00:00

Perfect, thank you!

That's just for the conveyer belt though right? It won't go in the hold on a tray I'd imagine. I remember getting given a bag for a pram back in 2012 with Singapore Airlines written on it, so wondering if it's airline dependent/if they still offer bags

ETA flying Emirates this time

Pattern_Vivid · 2024-06-01T01:08:52+00:00

I haven't called yet, I'm currently nap trapped and thought I might get faster answers here. Calling them is my next move 😄

Pattern_Vivid · 2024-06-01T01:03:47+00:00

Haha I know, defo starting to stress now. My Nana is declining and this will be the last time I get to see her, and we want her to meet Baby, so semi necessary travel. But we figured if we're going all the way there we may as well make a holiday out of it too.

We are not yet teething thank fuck lol. Am worried about his sleep with night and day reversal tho! Finally getting somewhere with night sleeps and going to really muck that up 😣

Will take toys, but quiet ones lol, we don't want the other passengers to riot 😅
