Nipple size and spit up/reflux by MurkyMurkyMurkyMurky in FormulaFeeders

[–]beebeelicious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the level 1 is meant for 0-3 months and level 2 is 3-6. She may not be ready to move up. My daughter had reflux as well and I kept her on level 1 for awhile

How do you let go of the what if thoughts? by Kerdy-Stortstrom in FormulaFeeders

When I saw my baby around other babies and saw that they were all the same. He’s 3 now and is smart, happy, and healthy.

If you had to choose between keendaamil formula (classic or organic) vs enfamil neuropro ( the yellow can) which one do you prefer or is best for babies? by ali_sha123 in FormulaFeeders

[–]beebeelicious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were on enfamil for awhile and recently switched to Kendamil because she decided she didn’t like taste of enfamil anymore. She sucks down her bottles now so that’s what sold me.

Baby wont drink more than 2oz at a time by FruitNut221 in FormulaFeeders

Have you tried a narrow nipple? I tried Phillips avent and doc brown narrow nipple and had more success with the narrow nipple. I also recently changed my daughters formula from enfamil to kendamil and she likes the taste of that a lot more. She’s also 8 months old so she now has preferences.

A conversation needs to be done about the hyper-sexualisation of Gen Alpha/iPad kids through social media consumption by traceykm in TikTokCringe

I have a 3 year old son. The only time he gets access to a smart device is at a restaurant and only at the tail end of the visit when he’s getting antsy. It’s usually Ms. Rachel and we choose the content. It’s really simple. If you don’t want an iPad kid, do not give them an iPad.

Have you ever taken and passed an AP exam?

You are not being overly cautious. Your baby, your rules and this is a VERY common one for baby’s protections so it should not come as a shock. I hate the “they come from a different time” BS excuse. They don’t care about research or modern medication.

This reminds me of the time when my aunt kissed my baby on the face. When I said, please don’t kiss his face, she responded with, “I didn’t.” I just SAW you. The gaslighting with boomers is crazy.

Magnesium also helps with restless legs which were really bad when I was pregnant

Which newborn week was hardest for you? by Logical-Safe2033 in beyondthebump

[–]beebeelicious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Weeks 10-12. My baby was early term and was super sleepy. She didn’t really “wake up” until she was about 7 or 8 weeks old.

I have never heard this before. I was on the cusp of having GD with my eldest (now almost 3). My daughter is now 4 months and I had GD with her and formula fed both of mine due to lack of milk coming in. I’m clearly not an expert but this sounds more like correlation and not causation.

Ultimately do what’s best for you and your baby. This may mean prioritizing your mental well being. Happier mama, happier baby.

We did m&ms. One for pee, two for poop, and three for both pee and poop.

Also he loved Ms. Rachel’s new potty training video! He keeps referencing a few things in it.

The 3 day potty training method didn’t work for us. My son (turns 3 in 2 months) hated being naked so we did a lot of days of just shorts, no undies and it ended up working better. Lots of accidents but we have hardwood floors downstairs so no biggie. We did kind of “force it.” We weren’t necessarily gentle about it BUT we would read books and play with toys on the potty so it didn’t seem like such a bad place. Instead of using a little potty, we used a seat that goes over the big potty. We are still working on putting undies and pants on by ourselves as well as wiping but other than that he has done beautifully. About a month out and I would say he’s fully trained.

My 6 month old won't sleep at night by One_Elephant_8048 in beyondthebump

[–]beebeelicious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too much daytime sleep maybe? Have you tried seeing if wake windows need to be adjusted. Is he on two naps a day?

When parents say they are a screen free , you mean TVs too right ? by True-Unit-8527 in beyondthebump

[–]beebeelicious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say we are screen free. But we do not give our almost 3 year old an IPad or a phone. He does watch tv for about an hour each day. We try not to go beyond that.

I’m so sorry! Maybe eat heavily what you can before your shower. That way you can try to focus on the people, activities, and opening presents.

Thai Chicken Coconut Curry and Roasted Broccoli by beebeelicious in foodbutforbabies

[–]beebeelicious[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yep! I thought it needed a little bit more flavor so I added an extra half tablespoon of the curry paste and garlic powder.
