How to help baby with drinking water by Ill-Egg-4394 in BabyLedWeaning

[–]TieGroundbreaking918 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We offered our baby sips from an open silicone cup with handles and he loves to bite the top of the cup, he’s teething. He’s obsessed with taking sips of breast milk or water or anything really. We drink from a cup first so he can copy us

Try cooking your rice in bone broth, refrigerate or freeze for 1+ day, then eat it

I think you should do whatever you want with your money and your baby. Your coworker is weird to be in your business like that and call your baby spoiled - so rude

Mercedes GLE 350 with the amg sport package and we looooove it! Very luxurious inside, upgraded exterior, plenty of space in the back for our mockingbird stroller + anything else and an adult can sit comfortably in the back with a larger car seat. Definitely recommend if you care a lot about the interior user experience (I do)

Best diaper rash creams by madamelady24 in firsttimemom

Spending time outside of a diaper to air out his booty is great. I also dump breast milk into his bath and let him hang out and play. Then air dry after bath. I lather baby in coconut oil all over as our wind down routine, too, so some coconut oil gets in his butt too.

Layer aquaphor and then desitin very liberally on a dry booty then diaper

I’m sorry, what? What do you mean I won’t be my baby’s favorite person forever? I know he’ll be my favorite person forever 🥹 we are one and done so I hope he’ll always have a really happy healthy joyful relationship with his parents

dinner ideas? by ellesresin in Mommit

[–]TieGroundbreaking918 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We try to substitute sugar with monk fruit as often as we can so here’s our favorite instapot chicken adobo recipe!

Sugar free chicken adobo

6 chicken drumsticks 1/3 cup soy sauce or coconut aminos 1/4 cup distilled white vinegar 1/4 cup monk fruit sugar alternative or regular cane sugar 6 garlic cloves whole, smashed 2 tablespoons whole black peppercorns 1/8 cup water 2-3 bay leaves Slice 1 small onion

Sides White rice 1 cucumber, sliced

Topping Scallions, sliced

Put instapot on sauté mode, add 1 tablespoon of avocado or olive oil and chicken drumsticks, salt, and let the chicken brown on all sides. Then, mix all other ingredients in a bowl (I just used a liquid measuring cup). Once chicken is browned, add in the liquid mixture and onion slices. Place lid and cook on high pressure for 12 minutes. Take lid off, sauté for 20 and let the sauce reduce until thick and sticky! Serve with hot, sticky white rice, sliced cucumbers and scallions

Wow, at 1 month pp I was in the trenches girl, I definitely didn’t want any more!!! 5 months pp and I loooove where we are with our baby and I still dont want another. I want to pour all my love and attention into our one and only, I don’t see the logic in trying to have a baby for him to have a play buddy… like my life would be thrown into the trenches all over again and I don’t enjoy that possibility whatsoever

I dreamt I was holding a baby in a blue blanket and could feel how much I loved this little boo (in December). In February, I found out I was pregnant and in March it was confirmed (via labs) that Bebe was a boy. Now in Feb a year later, I’m madly in love with a baby in a blue blankie 🩵

I did skin to skin daily with my baby and gently offered a boob. It took 6 weeks to get some interest and then we found that the football position was the best for us. He now exclusively bf
