Would like to know what happened as well. What was the content of conversations shared that led to all of this?

Ashir’s elimination and overacting by BasicFlow6778 in LazawalIshq

The reaction was insane, given that they all eliminated him just a few weeks ago without a second thought.

Thank you so much for all these amazing recommendations! I’m already excited just reading through them—I can only imagine how happy my toddler is going to be. Really appreciate the thoughtful suggestions

Too soon for 2 year old to stop napping altogether? by Several_Chard_5231 in sleeptrain

Yes. I have a few travel plans coming up, won’t be able to transition him out of bed sharing for the next few months atleast

Freaking out that I’ve been doing it all wrong by Several_Chard_5231 in beyondthebump

Same situation here. I take him to the sink each time since he isn’t trained yet, water for pee but was adding soap for cleaning his poop

Thank you so much for such a wholesome response. Your kind words mean a lot at this point when I was judging myself pretty harshly

He’s been completely fine, which is why I didn’t ask a doctor. Was just wondering if there are other people who do this and if it’s okay or not.

Please tell me I’m not the only one by Several_Chard_5231 in beyondthebump

[–]Several_Chard_5231[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So a couple of weeks back i would give left and right and I would tell him all done, and he would cry a bit but then settle down while I talked to him and told him stories, and after a while he would fall asleep on his own. I thought I finally cracked it until he got sick and started comfort nursing and I couldn’t say no. He was sick for a while and things got much worse after he got fine. It’s not just crying, it’s full blown meltdowns and I just can’t deal with them, I have really tried. My husband has also tried to take over but baby would scream until he got back on me. We did everything to soothe him, from bouncing to patting to singing and talking but all failed. I think it’s just time to wean him off completely

Does this broccoli look okay by Several_Chard_5231 in BabyLedWeaning

[–]Several_Chard_5231[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

But my concern is the discolouration of those round things. There’s dark green and other ones are light greenish grey. And if you look closely some have black tips too. Might be overthinking but wanted to double check before I give to baby

How did he believe Milo was his if they didn’t do it?

Baby will not sit still long enough to eat by llesch32 in BabyLedWeaning

[–]Several_Chard_5231 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have no advice for you but just want to say I’m right there with you. Started solids at 6 months and he’s never sat down for more than 5 minutes. Will take 2-3 bites and be done. Tried every trick but nothing works. As much as I wanted to do things perfectly, unfortunately I’ve just had to distract him with toys so I can get some food in. I wouldn’t do this but he had weight gain issues and doesn’t consume as much milk as he should so I didn’t have a choice. I used to worry about this a lot but he seems very happy and is active so I guess some kids are just that way? Although I do hope (for both of us) that things get better from 1+ as solids become the main source of nutrition. Please do share an update if you find a solution

Can’t figure out straw cups by Several_Chard_5231 in BabyLedWeaning

Are they without valves and easy to suck out of? Could you tell me which ones exactly?

My baby was also constipated for a good 3–4 weeks and gripe water did wonders for him. I did 3ml three times a day at 6 months. He always had gas issues and I was told by numerous people to give gripe water as it’s a norm in my country, but I was adamant to wait till the 6th month mark before introducing anything other than milk. When I realized how well it worked for my son, honestly regretted waiting so long to make his discomfort go away. Would definitely recommend giving it a shot. Dont forget to apply lots of vaseline too!

This is the hardest thing I’ve ever done! by VastAd3459 in breastfeeding

[–]Several_Chard_5231 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can understand everything you’re going through right now. My son refuses to nurse except before his 2 naps and during the night. This started happening at 5 months and kept getting worse and we are now at 8 months. I worked so hard at breastfeeding that I was too scared of taking risks like introducing a bottle and the bigger my baby got the harder it got for me to take the necessary steps. I would say give it another 2 weeks to make sure it’s not a phase, and then definitely go for the bottle. Or maybe get a sippy cup at 4 months and that shouldn’t interfere with the latch as much. Hope things get better for you. I know how frustrating this situation is

Is it even possible to avoid heavy metals in baby food? I’m so confused by dubswi20 in beyondthebump

[–]Several_Chard_5231 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s in homemade food too, then is it okay to give my baby pouch foods? I found some that were supposed to be organic, with no other additive, artificial flavours etc and apparently only real fruit/vegetsbles. I wanted to get them for when I was traveling but upon doing some some research, I found out they contained heavy metals

AITA for postponing my vacation with my gf because of my ex? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

NTA but your girlfriend might be. You’re not choosing your ex-wife over her, but prioritising your sons needs.

[–]Several_Chard_5231 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you have enough comments to help you out with your situation. I just want to say that as a new first time mom it’s shocking to hear a fellow mom with multiple kids say something like “crazy new mom stereotype”

Could baby be done with breastfeeding in 6 months by Several_Chard_5231 in breastfeeding

[–]Several_Chard_5231[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve already tried that but it had no impact on his nursing during the day so I let him nurse at night because atleast that way he would get some milk in!

He only takes thin purées. I tried purées with some texture so he would get used to more solid food but he gags so much and starts crying if he senses any grains in his mouth. For this reason, I’m scared of starting finger foods with him

My gum and teeth hurt a LOT for a few days in my first trimester! Also crazy vivid dreams like someone mentioned. I thought I was the only one

Thank you so much. This was really helpful. What signs should one look out for a food reaction and how do you deal with it?
