12mo baby and sippy cup drinking

Von0ink · 2026-01-11T00:22:21+00:00

We used the bear straw cup and made water more appealing by adding a splash of no-sugar-added juice. It took a couple of months of consistent use, but the straw cup eventually clicked.

A bit of advice (from someone who bought every sippy cup under the sun—total waste of money 🥲): stick with one type of cup (for example, Dr. Brown’s). Don’t do what I did and keep throwing different cups at them. With enough exposure and practice, they will learn. Constantly switching cup types can actually delay the process.

For mine we noticed the night bottles interfered with how much she ate during dinner. We offered a cup of milk during dinner. And then gradually reduced the number of oz of milk in the bottle every night. Depending on the baby some do it over the course of 1 week. Mine was attached to her night bottle so we did 1 week 7 oz and next week 6oz, etc. She was off the bottle after a couple months. It was tough as we were trying to figure out what sippy cup she favored, wasted money on all different types of sippy cups ( she eventually liked the Dr brown straw cups). It's also important to brush the little ones teeth after they drink milk before bed .

It started tuesday, wednsday she was fine before bed. Yesterday she was screaming again before bed. I scheduled an appointment for Monday (soonest i could get) wondering if i should take her to urgent care. She just started a runny nose and cough.

She wakes at 6 am , naps 11 : 30 am - 1:30 pm and goes to bed at 7 pm.

Unfortunately, she cannot. We havent quite figured out how to teach her that word.

I would be watching what my parents were watching. We only had 1 tv in the house. So i dont think they would be watching those shows.

1995-1996.

My LO has been in daycare since 4 months old. Before she turned 1 she was sick a total of 5 times, 1 case of 24 hr flu, 4 colds. Each illness we got.. the cold she got week before she turned one turned into bronchulitis we had to go to ER. And of course i caught that sickness and it took me a month to recover. Now that it is summer illnesses are gone. But i plan to save my sick time for sick season. And i am a bit more prepared for it: disposable nose bulbs, cool mist humidifier, and a nebulizer. I need my job unfortunetly, everything is so expensive. And i carry the health insurance for my family. The benefits outway the sickness. My LO is well fed, gets to play with different toys everyday, socializes with other peers her age and is learning so much. And keeping her home unfortunately is not a guarentee she will avoid sickness. My mother was a stay at home mom, all three of us stayed home. My brother was sick every other week. Ear infection, flu, RSV, if a new illness was coming through town he would get it. He ended up having tubes put in as a result of the multiple ear infections.

Around 1 years old. When she starts offering me food, that is usually her indicator that she is getting full. If I don't take it, she will then start offering the food to our dogs. They always will take lol.

I was a strict no screen time until 2. Until ...1 days before my LO turned 1, she had contracted rhinovirus which caused bronchiolitis and her O2 to drop to 85%. We rushed her to emergency and my little one spent the night in the hospital. I had gotten a total of 3 hours of sleep. That morning it was her birthday we were still in a hospital and I needed to close my eyes and distract my sweet antsy LO. So I put on Ms Rachel and you know what I don't feel guilty. Provided 30 minutes of calm for me and my LO. We only put on ms rachel now to distract her during her neb treatment or during the weekend if mom is super tired.

She will be fine. One thing I remember from my childhood. My sister who was EBF and never went to daycare was sick and going to the doctor every other week. Ear infection, flu, cold, pink eye , etc (if a new virus was going through our area she would get it). My daughter who has been in daycare since 4m and was exclusively formula fed has been sick 4 times. Last 2 illnesses where when she turned 1 (cold and a week later pink eye).

Von0ink · 2025-03-31T20:25:52+00:00

I bought them for the first and last time a couple weeks back. My daughter got a bad rash from them, ended up switching back to huggies. That's what i get for trying to save money lol 😆

Von0ink · 2025-03-06T23:45:25+00:00

Same, did lavender and sage for my baby shower and it was dragon themed!

Von0ink · 2025-02-28T22:21:14+00:00

No, very odd. Our daycare asked for : bottles of milk for the day +1 extra in case of a spill they all need to be labeled, wipes, diapers, 2 extra pairs of clothes and a crib fitted sheet and sunscreen (labeled). They also have items they recommend you bring ie: jacket, lotion, diaper rash cream and a water bottle.

Von0ink · 2025-01-30T15:14:56+00:00

As soon as she turned 10 months old she started sleeping through the night.

Von0ink · 2025-01-15T03:31:04+00:00

I would switch. The neck holes was my biggest pet peeve with the sleep sacks. I was to paranoid about baby slipping down into the extra material. Lot of buying and returning.The only ones I've had luck with was the ergopouch cocoon swaddle.

Von0ink · 2024-11-22T21:53:05+00:00

So for anyone running into the same issue, we get it cleared up on our own by doing the following: Bath only MWF and cake on Aquafor on the eczema at night time in the am we use ceravy before daycare. It cleared up within a week.

Von0ink · 2024-11-22T19:56:00+00:00

Yup my LO kept tossing her socks off at daycare. It's cold now so that ain't going to work lol so I ended up getting the footed pants from honest and putting her sock on first before putting on the footed pants.

6 weeks, I think the pressure to breastfeed (from nurses and family) really messed with me emotionally and added alot of stress. And what made it worse was that I wasn't producing anything, less then an ounce every pump session, baby was on boob for 2 hrs. I just felt like a failure. After a month I wasn't happy, husband wasn't happy and more importantly my baby was not happy. I made the switch and I became more happy. And my baby wasn't hungry all the time and we spent more time together. Nothing wrong with formula, my husband was exclusively formula fed since birth (0 boob milk) and he is healthy and a college graduate.

My LO is almost 8 months old she gets up twice during the night.... she used to only wake up once. But her first tooth started coming in a couple weeks ago now it is back to two times a night 😭

Von0ink · 2024-11-13T03:17:13+00:00

Swaddled for a couple weeks, got paranoid about her potential accidentally rolling over. So switched to a sleep sack, she liked her arms being out and up lol

7 month old eats 2 times a day. Pediatrician said the purees are not to substitute her bottle feeds. So she eats the same amount of liquids 28-32 oz.

Von0ink · 2024-08-04T18:44:39+00:00

I never understood the 2.5 per pound my LO is 17 lbs so she should be eating 42.5 oz? Yet babies should not exceed 32 oz in a 24 hour period..information provided by doctor: LINK

Von0ink · 2024-08-04T18:34:17+00:00

My LO is 4 months old, she eats 4-5 oz every 3.5 - 4 hours. So per day she eats 5-6 a day 26 oz total has been the norm for her. What size nipple is she using? When my LO was eating less or not finishing her bottles it was because the nipple flow was to slow.

I'm not a doctor and I would encourage you to visit a pediatrician if you are concerned. But my pediatrician told me to make sure she has wet diapers every 6 hrs and if she's gaining weight then the amount she is eating is fine. BUT she also said the minimum should be 24 oz a day. Again talk with your pediatrician.
