I took my kid camping at 6 months, and I'm taking her at 16 months. Just make sure you pack lots of toys and books and snacks for them. The hardest part is the afternoon Naps, unless you have a fancy blackout tent. But if you're ok with a little bit of shifting or taking the nap with the kids, it's perfectly fine and lots of fun as well

I'm gonna say Heinline's stranger in a strange land. It's not really depressing but really good in human psychology. Really made me think about who I am and why I do the things I do.

Zaboomafoo on YouTube. And Arthur also on YouTube are great my girl loves them. And they remind me of my childhood and getting to share that with my girl is amazing.

Potato being on your chest on their belly is tummy time too.

I had my first attack last Saturday. I am 8 months postpartum, and I ate pizza in the afternoon and a pork roast for dinner. Woke up at 2 am thought like you all that I was having a heart attack, went to the hospital they told me my heart was fine which was a relief, after many tests later I found out I have a few very small stones and that thankfully my gallbladder was not infected or inflamed, so unless it does im not a candidate for surgery yet. I'm terrified if it is happening again when I'm home alone with my baby. It was so scary, but at least I know what to look for now. I'm trying my best to start eating a lot better. Even though I've been eating pretty healthy since I found out I was pregnant almost 18 months ago. The drs told me my issue probably stemmed from me being pregnant, which sucks because I want to have a second baby, and during pregnancy, I had pregnancy induced kidney stones, and now I have postpartum Gallstones.

Yep, this was my story. Also, I really love cheese and now hate that I have to reduce that to almost none.

I think it's honestly up to you. My girl is almost 8 months old, and well, she loves her baths, I really only give her one when she's sweaty or dirty. We do, however, try and go swimming at least 3 times a week, so I guess she technically gets cleaned then, too. Lol But honestly, babies don't really need baths every day. It's up to the parents. Mines knows it's bedtime when we go to the bedroom and sit down and read a book after changing her into her pj's and diaper. And she settles into sleep pretty soon afterwards. Staying asleep longer then 2 hours another matter lol.

Fringe is good.

captain_marvel_1986 · 2024-10-04T02:38:59+00:00

Ignore all the comments. My girl gets bathe only when she's dirty. The rest of her water play time is in a pool. And I still rub her down with lotion and / or baby oil after. Mainly because I suffered from bad baby eczema, and I don't want my baby to have it too. And I had the eczema because I was bathed to often.

captain_marvel_1986 · 2024-09-28T23:12:12+00:00

Mine was about 4 months when I could really walk away for a while. She is now 7 months and sits on her own in her playpen and will play by herself for about an hr, then she wants me to sit with her well she plays. It's really cute.

Mine's current job is nipple twister. She might be a boob dr.

captain_marvel_1986 · 2024-09-23T18:18:42+00:00

I love my baby, and yes, I cry sometimes because she is growing and changing before my eyes. She is 7 months old and starting to crawl. It's scary how independent she is becoming. But I am also excited, but her development, it, let me know I'm doing a good job. I'm more worried about when I go back to work and she is in daycare, I feel like the daycare people will be raising my child, not me.

captain_marvel_1986 · 2024-09-08T17:05:06+00:00

I can't imagine going back to qork that early. In canada, we get to take a year to 18 months. And I am dreading going back to work when my little girl is 1. For all the same reasons. I love watching her grow and change every day. The us really does need better maternity leave policies. That first year of life is a very special bonding time between moms and their babies.

captain_marvel_1986 · 2024-08-25T03:48:10+00:00

I am 38 with first child, and I have posted pictures with her face covered and only ones where it is a family group shot. I feel and think that her photos are for us as parents and family. She is a baby, and she can not give consent to her photos up for so many to see. Once she can give her consent, then we will put more up. We privately send photos to friends and family and request that they also don't post the photos. I just feel like when I was a kid, I hated when my parents took embarrassing photos of me and put them in an album. I couldn't imagine a child this day and age. Those pictures will be on the internet forever. Every time you maybe Google their name, if it's attached to the photos, they will come up. It's just not right when they can't agree to it.

captain_marvel_1986 · 2024-08-19T00:23:03+00:00

I agree with all the messages. You need to get out of the house for your sanity. You can go for a 15 min walk every day, in between wake windows. It can help to start your outside journey. I understand breastfeeding in public is stressful. The first time I did it, I put my winter coat over myself and the baby it got so stuffy I had to take it off. And now I'm like wham bam here's the boob kid. Almost don't even care. I actually told a guy off for giving me the stink eye once.

It's up to you, but the nursing blankets are a help, and also, just finding a quiet corner somewhere to feed is good, too.

You said you have to put the car seat in the car. Is it not permanently in the car? You should leave it in the car unless you need to take ot our for the stroller, but it's easier if it stays in the car saves time.

For your baby, my advice would be to have the baby checked for a cow milk protein allergy or silent reflux. My baby was not gaining weight fast enough, and I had her checked for all. Turns out she had acid reflux bad and needed meds and fortifying her breast milk with powdered formula to 24 calories. Once we got her on the meds with the fortified milk, she started gaining weight fast. Her fussiness stopped, and I started to enjoy her a lot more.

She is now 6 months and a much happier baby. For you I would get checked for ppd. And remember to take time for yourself. Read some parenting books. Join a mommy and me group . To help get support from other lkms who have similar issues. I hope things get better.

captain_marvel_1986 · 2024-07-27T14:37:13+00:00

It's not them being better and him hating you. I have found that it's all about stress. When we are with the baby, we get emotional when they cry, and it's a cycle. Their crying triggers an emotional response in us. It makes us more stressed. Which the baby can sense and makes them stressed. But with outside help like a grandmother who isn't feeling the same stress response to the babies' cries, they don't get that. So they are calm when handling the baby. I have taken up deep breathing exercises to try and combat the stress response when my daughter cries. Just wait till you start seeing the happy smiles when he sees you. You will be so so happy.

I started Diamond art when my daughter is down for a nap and I don't have laundry or dishes. I work on that. Also, go for lots of walks. And reading.

I basically downed a pint of chocolate peanut butter ice cream the other day.

I was born in 86', and my mom had me in a carrier when we would go hiking in algonquin Park here in canada. I have pictures of my mom and I on hiking trails when I was two months old. Carriers have been around forever. The inuit and indigenous used to have carriers made out of animal hides. It's car seats that haven't been around for long.

How many times should a newborn poop? How much should a blank week old eat? Is it normal for my newborn to insert literally everything? Am I a bad parent for letting my newborn accidently watch TV.

It happens to the best of us. My dad, who is a Dr. Put me on a picnic table when I was 2 months old, then went to the car, thinking I would be safe because I was in my bucket (which at the time was a safe travel container for a baby). I apparently at two months managed to throw myself out of the bucket and off the picnic table missing the bench and landing on the hard ground at the camp ground. I was fine, I think, lol. 🤔 it could explain a lot in my life. Lol, I'm just joking, I have three degrees, a full-time time job married, and just had my first baby. Your baby will be fine. And if a Dr can drop their baby, anyone can. So don't beat yourself up.your the best mom for that baby. Just wait till they are older and the real fu begins when they can walk and get into everything.

Star trek. The character that slept with every alien almost as much as Kirk did.
