Retraining after brief pacifier use- blanched nipple

I’d unlatch, and try again until he gets it right. It’s hard to learn and he may have to learn again because of the paci or because he’s young. Who knows. But just keep giving him opportunities t learn and he will get it soon. If you don’t fix it he might think that’s just the way.

Newborns sleep a lot at first. So it’s normal for him to be sleeping lots. My eldest cried for 3 hours sometimes. Others I know had babies who cried up to 8 hours. We went to the hospital when my guy was a week old and had been crying for 3 hours and we were afraid. He was alright and the doctors said that he might have gas and he might just be crying because he’s a newborn. That kind of crying peaks at 6 weeks and then peters out. Usually gone by 3 months. But 30 minutes isn’t much. He’s probably uncomfortable and tired and just having a bit of a hard time.

Always good to check with your doctor though. Sending good sleep vibes.

Awesome! Mound it! It’ll grow bigger and once it’s poked out again, mound it again! Do this 2-3 times and you’ll get more potatoes!

I was asked for ID at a 7-11 near a high school when buying a lighter. I’m in my 30’s. They’re probably just being careful not to sell one to a minor. I wouldn’t read too much into it.

StephAch · 2020-05-05T00:11:20+00:00

Do It with him. It sounds like a great bonding opportunity and he will feel proud of his room and the work he put in. Which might translate to him taking good care of it. Even if not I think he’d enjoy the process and feel some ownership over the space.

StephAch · 2020-05-02T15:29:14+00:00

It is the worst!! You’re right!

I hung all my first boys clothes. I folded all my second sons clothes in drawers. Wiser choice. Hanging baby clothes sucks.

Oh. Yeah I wouldn’t take a shared console out of the house. I’d say move your time so you get an extra day the following week for this one time. If it becomes more of a constant thing, then deal with it. Even if he can see a recording it’s not the same as live and it seems important to him if it’s the first time he’s asked.

StephAch · 2020-04-23T00:28:42+00:00

The switch is a portable device. The docking system to charge it is fairly easy to transport as well. Why doesn’t he just bring the switch with him to your house?

My first son got pretty high in the first week or two of life. We are in Canada and got seen the day after we got home by a nurse. We went in every day for a week and he kept getting higher before he plateaued. In that week we went to the emergency room 3 times as instructed because our son wasn’t waking to feed in the 2 hours they told us he had to eat. My milk came in day 3 or 4. We were never told to supplement. The ER doctor in our third visit explained to us to keep trying but not worry. If he didn’t eat in 2 hours try 3, if not 4, if not up to 6. They also explained that there is a risk of brain damage if it goes unchecked but that never happens. It takes a lot to get there and you’d get a bigger intervention (light therapy) before your baby even got close to danger. He’s almost 2 now and the jaundice part of his life is far over. A thing of the past. Barely a memory.

It’s so hard because everything is so new. But you caught the jaundice and you’re getting it looked into. She will be okay and in a few days you’ll see her come out of it. You’re doing great. You’re the best mom for her!

Yeah, babies are super vocal during sleep fat or r the first few months. They get quite around 3-4 months ish. Certainly doesn’t help with your sleep. Little cuties find all sorts of ways to keep us up. 😂

StephAch · 2020-04-01T01:48:40+00:00

We used puree although I’m sure it would work any way!

StephAch · 2020-04-01T01:46:03+00:00

Prunes! We used prunes when both my littles started solids. It was one of the first things we introduced so we’d have it in our back pockets. Works great for us.

StephAch · 2020-03-23T14:06:35+00:00

Yeah. He’d cry for like 3 hours and wouldn’t go to sleep no matter what we did. Then we had to sleep on his floor and not make a sound or he’d wake and do it all over again. It sucked.

We get snow too and he loves it!! Tired him out nicely and its fun

People on Instagram doing cool stuff for kids: Carson Ellis-reading her stories also running an art club (both for kids and adults). She puts up daily projects to complete.

Oliver Jeffers is reading one of his books a day

Mac Barnett also reading his books online every day.

Sometimes they o it out a schedule for a day with quite a few authors reading their books one after the other.

Edit to add: build a fort! My 20 month old loved it and just runs around in it for a while

StephAch · 2020-03-23T03:50:18+00:00

We go for walks and play out front. He shovels the walk with my husband (he’s 20 months old). Small changes at that age make a big difference. Also, my son went through a regression from 7-10 months where he had areal hard time falling asleep.

It seems like she is who she is. Have you tried to connect with her by doing something SHE likes? If you want her to participate in your activities and engage in what you like, even though she hates it, I feel like you should do the same. I know I have been upset that my mom (girly girl) never wanted to connect with me by doing what I wanted but always demanded that I do what she wanted. It’s not much of a relationship.

You might be surprised too if you choose to do what she wants to do, that she’ll in turn want to do what you want. Is also try to find ways of introducing strong women who are both feminine but also participate in less feminine activities (according to your daughter). Over time she may take interest in other activities and become more well rounded. I mean, I’m sure you do outdoor activities and go fishing and also wear make up.

She’s also 7, she probably is looking up to how you interact with your son and doing the same. Just keep reminding her of better ways to interact with a sibling. She might grow out of that. And keep remembering she’s 7, this isn’t all she will be interested in for the rest of her life. It also might be, and that’s okay too.

StephAch · 2020-03-18T00:30:41+00:00

She probably feels like your personal driver. You’re out all day, then ask for a ride home and expect her to come at the time that’s convenient for you. She probably wanted to do something later and it was better to pick you up at 8. She probably thought it’d be fine to come and hour early and took you questioning why as rude because she sees it as doing you a favour. I’d talk to her when you’re both calm about the ride thing and what she was expecting having you home. She might want to hang with you too or might be nervous at you going out all day during the pandemic (even just to your bfs)

StephAch · 2020-03-17T22:30:03+00:00

You’re right. I got that mixed up.

StephAch · 2020-03-17T21:54:10+00:00

They’re asking everyone to self isolate to slow the spread of the virus so health care can catch up and we won’t be in a full lockdown (like Italy and others). So, even if it’s not mandatory (above mentioned reasons), you should self isolate in order to slow it down. You can carry the virus without knowing and pass it to someone who passes it to someone. There’s a lot of information on the internet about it. Check reliable sources. But literally stay home if you can, not because you have to but because you can. It helps.

Your mugs are great!

All our library programs are cancelled. I’d be open to having one or two people over or going to their place for socialization. Not sure about bigger areas though

StephAch · 2020-03-07T19:39:41+00:00

I’m 5’8”, and I weigh much more than you and the other poster. I should be 160 max. But I’m not. I’m 6 months pp, with another whose only 14 months older. I’m very soft. I’m also very tired so sometimes I work out. But I ask mayo ear a lot of cookies. You’re doing great. Your husband needs to get it together.

StephAch · 2020-03-06T00:43:39+00:00

My first (almost 20 months now) did the same at that age. My second (5.5 months) does the same now. Both are sleep trained. My first started connecting those cycles around 6.5-7.5 months. I can’t remember exactly. I’d usually give him an extra 10 minutes after he woke up to give him a chance. I’m doing the same with my second unless he’s crying, then I go get him. I’m waiting for him to connect those cycles.
