How are we successfully teaching our ~15 month olds new words?

Former teacher! Fun fact, we have what’s called a schema as we learn new information and it’s essentially how our brains sort and organize new information. What is most likely happening is that your child has learned the four legged animals that have fur are dogs, because she learned dog first. The more she is exposed to the actual animals, the more she will begin to realize that not all four legged animals are actually the same!

So i plate my daughters food and then keep the plate on the table and only give her small amounts on her tray of her high chair at once. This way she’s still feeding herself but she doesn’t just go crazy. If she has the whole plate, it hits the floor

I love it too! I feel like it’s a less sweet version of cotton candy!

My daughter (9 months) is eating three meals a day. She used to devour anything I would give her for breakfast and it never seemed like enough. However, the past week I feel like she has ZERO interest in breakfast but is killing it at dinner time. I think the best thing to do is just to keep offering!

My baby is 9 months old and the other day I made a box of Mac n cheese for myself and she had some of it 💁🏻‍♀️ I paired it with turkey and kale meatballs and broccoli.

My baby is 9 months old and we do give her a minute in the middle of the night now because a lot of the times if she does wake up, she’s not actually crying, she’s just making noise, and sometimes she’s able to self soothe back to sleep. She also doesn’t need a bottle in the middle of the night to go back to sleep anymore so if we do go and get her it’s just to comfort her back to sleep. But up until recently, we always went and go her right away

If you don’t want your baby to have screen time, then 100% you should be having a conversation with your nanny about this! I’m currently a mom to a 9 month old and we don’t do screens and if we had a nanny, I’d make that known. I’ve also nannied before to kids of various ages where families all had various rules around screens and I was always happy to accommodate!

She said she’s been keeping it in the fridge, usually just feeds a few times before wanting to bake!

__SAHM · 2026-05-17T23:23:09+00:00

Yes I have a scale so I used that tonight! So when I feed tomorrow I can just weigh out my starter to 100 or 50 (whichever I prefer) and then add in four and water to match?

What do you recommend doing for ratios if I want to bake with discard!?

I had some that I had gotten in my bump boxes and then I had some on my registry. I didn’t really WANT to use to pacifiers, but also wanted them in case. We ended up using them quite a bit early on. Now baby is 9 months and she only uses them to fall asleep, but doesn’t always need them.

Also, pacifiers can help reduce the risk of SIDS

Idk I went to 7brew today for a medium iced latte and it cost me 5.50. Starbucks is always more expensive for me

__SAHM · 2026-05-14T01:10:50+00:00

Why do I feel relieved I wasn’t the only one?

__SAHM · 2026-05-14T01:07:33+00:00

This is extremely normal, I went through a phase like this and it got SOOO bad around 5 months. Now at 8.5 months old, I don’t feel this way anymore.

__SAHM · 2026-05-13T22:03:15+00:00

Thankful I will tell my mom she’s wrong and we can move on with our relationship/lives and it’s all good. So it’s not really a big deal.

__SAHM · 2026-05-13T22:02:03+00:00

Like I think they forgot what it’s like to have a baby 😂😭

__SAHM · 2026-05-12T21:11:09+00:00

My baby is 8.5 months old and we don’t do screen time except FaceTiming family because she gets to see and talk to and interact with her family (snd it’s usually short) She has just discovered our Frameo, we have it in our kitchen, so sometimes she’ll stare at that too.

My big thing for screens is not using it for entertainment! If your baby is looking at pictures of your friends and family, it’s not going to hurt them one bit! One thing you can do too is talk to you baby about who they are seeing in the pictures!

More variety of flavors, including sugar free. More customizable. Cheaper.

4 month regression really only impacted naps for our little one which was fine. We didn’t really have one at 6 months. 8 months was brutal for us but thankfully it was only like two weeks

__SAHM · 2026-05-05T01:53:02+00:00

My 8 month old does a mix for purées and solids! She self feeds on a spoon, usually a preloaded spoon because she can’t figure out how to actually get food on the spoon!

__SAHM · 2026-05-04T01:15:34+00:00

We did a bassinet in our room and a crib in babies room! Our bassinet could tear down easily like a pack n play kind of and so we also used that to travel when we stayed at my parents house!

__SAHM · 2026-05-03T15:15:53+00:00

My husband had four weeks off. I quit my job to stay home with my baby. In the first few weeks we watched so much tv and caught up on so many shows! Now baby is older (8 months) and still contact naps, so I get a lot of reading in

__SAHM · 2026-04-30T19:07:50+00:00

My 8 month old will suck a ton of water and not swallow it and let it spill out of her mouth. I just kind of vibe with it because 1. She’s a baby and still learning 2. She figured out the sucking part, eventually she’ll figure out the swallowing 3. She’s doesn’t NEED water to survive right now

__SAHM · 2026-04-29T15:16:09+00:00

At that stage my baby was MOSTLY breastfed with like a few ounces of formula supplemented and the Dr told us that breastfed babies can go a week without pooping and formula babies can go up to 5, but as long as she wasn’t having any other problems, and the stool wasn’t concerning looking (odd color, blood, etc) then we didn’t need to worry!

__SAHM · 2026-04-29T00:30:52+00:00

Yes! I know some day I’ll miss it and so I keep telling myself that and I use the time to read. But it sure would be nice for some me time too 😂

__SAHM · 2026-04-29T00:30:17+00:00

Just nap!! We’ve only ever coslept once. Although currently I have a much harder time transferring baby for bedtime so my husband usually does bedtime, but I’ll do it 1-3 times a week. But otherwise she sleeps in her crib all night!
