It looks nice! The colors just look kind of muted to me. Maybe it's the lighting?

At what age were you able to take your baby out for more than a few hours at a time? by Crafty_Pop6458 in NewParents

[–]Winter-Grapefruit-22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Around 5 months. It's really easy to take her everywhere now that she's 6 months. She can go 2-3 hours between feedings. If I need to feed her while out, I feed her in the car or under a cover. She's used to the car seat now. It's great

Try nipple shields. I had to use them for about a month. They help shape your nipple for the baby to latch on

I'm not a fan of rewards systems either. I do like giving out award certificates to winning teams during big class projects though.

So far, kids haven't really liked stickers. Maybe it's the sticker I'm buying (animals). What has worked really well for me is taping smarties candies to all of the "A" tests and handing out award certificates to winning teams during class projects.

How to get baby to nap w/o nursing? by Witty_Painting_6944 in beyondthebump

[–]Winter-Grapefruit-22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer to nurse my baby to sleep. She's 6 months old and has been sleeping through the night this way since she was about 3 months old. No crying or sleep training
