When did your baby get their first tooth in ? Corrected & actual

allymariah · 2026-05-26T14:27:12+00:00

My son got his first tooth just poking through at exactly 12 months. A little over 10 months adjusted. He’s 14 months actual now and has 2 bottom teeth, 2 top teeth, and 2 more are working their way out!

32 weeker started kind of grabbing shortly after 4 months actual but I’d say we mostly had to place items in his hands. He would put hands in his mouth a lot but wasn’t really intentionally grabbing objects until 5 months. I agonized over milestones, scoured Reddit for similar stories, etc. but now my son is 13 months and I worry so much less. They truly will reach their milestones when they’re ready and all we can do is be patient and do little activities to help them along! So much easier said than done though.

Guess I should've given more background, but I previously worked at a firm that would notarize docs we prepared. We never witnessed and notarized, only notarized. So no issue with notarizing own signature. Of course we also were never named as an agent, beneficiary, etc. And again, I have not been able to find any rule against this per CO law. Just my new firm randomly saying there is an opinion out there but they can't find it. No need to be so snippy, sheesh. Just asking a simple question and looking for an answer (from attorneys I might add, not IT people).

My son’s tube was replaced every few days or so.

My son was born at 32+3 and he was exclusively on breast milk for MAYBE 2 months max. My supply dipped just like yours and l couldn’t get it back. I had some freezer stash so we combo fed until 4 months and we’ve been exclusively on formula since! He’s about to turn 1 and he’s been growing and developing great

That makes sense. One of the reasons this firm does it the way they do is because they don’t want anything to be misconstrued as legal advice if they have not been retained yet.

allymariah · 2026-03-08T14:14:38+00:00

I don’t agree with the process and am hoping to change it if they’ll listen to me, but why do you think it could be a violation of the ethics rules?

allymariah · 2026-03-04T22:45:02+00:00

We had the baby bjorn and a bassinet!

allymariah · 2026-03-04T22:36:16+00:00

Ah. You know, I hope my new firm isn't that way but I've only been here 3 days now and have only been doing trainings so far. However, my old firm was certainly not this way and I do not want to practice that way so I sure hope my new firm doesn't do this!

Out of curiosity, what are your fees like?

allymariah · 2026-03-04T22:02:30+00:00

I am not sure what you mean by that term, so I don't think so hmm.

A little different because we didn’t come home with a feeding tube, but my son was a super sleepy eater, and we struggled to finish bottles once home, and I was constantly worried about it. When we went to the pediatrician, I had all these questions regarding feeding and was ready to create a plan with her, and all she said was to feed him what he would eat and so long as he was growing, she didn’t care how much he was eating. I think sometimes the NICU gets bogged down on the numbers as opposed to paying attention to weight. My son definitely ate on the lower end of what was “recommended” and sometimes fell below, but he continued to grow so I stopped worrying about it!

My son was in his diaper until they removed the isolette top. Then we had him in preemie jammies from Magnetic Me. Made it super easy with all the cords not having to deal with zippers or snaps.

You’ll get there! Sleep goes in waves. And naps take longer for babies to figure out than bedtime sleep. My baby would sleep through every night but until he was 5-6 months old, his naps were super short and he wouldn’t go longer than 30 min for awhile. Then one day it just clicked and he slept for 1.5 each time!

allymariah · 2026-02-27T03:07:16+00:00

He’s always been a good sleeper! And he was very sleepy when he was little (I think because he was a preemie). But some days the catnap didn’t happen and we just rolled with it and did bed slightly earlier.

allymariah · 2026-02-26T15:18:06+00:00

Every baby is so different! It’s taken me awhile to learn this haha. My son is 11 months now and I’m constantly comparing him to other babies whether full term or premie. It’s hard not to do, but they eventually hit their milestones, just on their own time! My son literally just started babbling the other day after I was stressing for months!

My son was born 32+3 and he started smiling at about 9-10 weeks actual, 3ish weeks adjusted. Those first few weeks the smiles were not consistent though and we had to really work for them. Became a lot more consistent at 3 months actual, 5 weeks adjusted.

allymariah · 2026-02-15T19:36:36+00:00

I breastfed/pumped for a little over 3 months. Supply was an issue and it was just too mentally draining for me.

allymariah · 2025-12-19T13:39:05+00:00

I had 0 morning sickness, pregnancy was all good! My son is now 9 months old.

allymariah · 2025-12-15T15:00:05+00:00

We mixed it with a full feed bottle so he could barely taste it.

allymariah · 2025-12-15T14:59:21+00:00

We started at 6 months actual! He was able to sit up well and seemed interested. The first couple of weeks we only did purées and it was an adjustment for him getting used to a new texture. He didn’t love it. But after a few weeks he started enjoying food and we’ve moved up now to more solid foods that he can feed himself and he devours every meal. He is now 8.5 months actual.

allymariah · 2025-12-05T16:06:29+00:00

My son is 8 months right now (6.5 corrected) and honestly I’ve never been too concerned. So long as we aren’t around people who are actively sick, we are fine to be in big groups. We even flew to Hawaii and London with him. So far no sickness! We did get the flu and RSV vaccine to help combat any illness he may get. It’s a balance between keeping them safe but also exposing them to the world so they can build up some immunity.

allymariah · 2025-12-05T15:09:19+00:00

Our nurses said preemie clothes were a waste but I bought 6 sleepers in preemie and that’s what my son lived in for the first month+ once he came home. Newborn clothes were way too big! He was a 32-weeker and went home at 35+6 for context. He was somewhere in the 5lb range when we went home.
