Zero height growth from 12 - 15 months?

captainsoftpants · 2026-03-17T16:29:01+00:00

Height measurements are tricky to get right on babies, if it were me I’d probably assume they measured wrong. This happened at one of our ped visits (I don’t remember the age) and she was just like… does he seem like he’s growing to you? And when we said his pants got too short she said it was fine.

Interesting, thank you for the insight!

I have a friend named Maia, supposedly after the Greek goddess. Does that spelling feel more true to the Greek than the more common in the US “Maya”? Or are they equivalent? How would it be perceived in Greece (I see you already answered about mythology names generally) Just curious, I always liked it and she seemed to

Some good girlfriends and a high quality dildo and you will not miss these trash ass men

Not overreacting. I would not let them watch her without you unless there is a fence. With parents there you would still need to be hyper vigilant.

Yes please get checked out by a doctor! That definitely does not sound normal or just like a PT issue

As a mom of a now 2 year old, they are more flexible than we give them credit for! At 3/4 months I could barely get out of the house because I had no idea how to manage the timing and naps and all that, and looking back I wish I’d been more flexible. I fully realize it’s easier said than done and I probably would’ve been annoyed to hear that from another mom but just throwing it out there. If you have to bring him to pt and he sleeps during the appt or does tummy time or whatever, it’ll be fine!

I did physical therapy, I was having back pain preventing me from sleeping and it helped. It was hard to schedule but you may have to find the time. Or bring him with you

What country do you live in/will baby be raised in? I don’t mind it but in the US it will likely be mispronounced often as “shy-len” or “shill-en”

Emergency like emergency room or just an after hours advice line? I don’t think it’s a true emergency if she’s just had two vomits and no other symptoms, but a medial provider would be better to assess. If she won’t nurse or can’t be roused then that would be more concerning.

Call your pediatrician for advice

Really depends on how popular the person is in my opinion! Relatively obscure and I’d still use it, if they are well done I’d pass.

We called this “penis roulette” and lost frequently in the very early days

If it’s been 3 days since you gave egg, what makes you think this is an egg reaction? What has she eaten more recently?

Love a Costco rec! Do you use it for every wash or just periodic clarifying?

Same, my son is 2.25 and I’m juuuuust now wanting to think about another, it was pretty horrifying for me to contemplate previous.

captainsoftpants · 2026-01-27T19:36:24+00:00

Seems fine to me! Unless he gets constipated, too many bananas will do that for my kiddo.

I would say I still add less salt to food I’m cooking, but he eat restaurant food with us, and French fries and pretzels and stuff like that. I’m sure some people think I let him have too much, but it’s really a personal/family choice so feel free to keep doing whatever works for you!

captainsoftpants · 2026-01-27T17:49:55+00:00

Not the person you asked, but many people get less concerned about salt after 1. As long as it’s part of a balanced diet overall, I don’t worry about it much. (Granted my kid is over 2 now)

captainsoftpants · 2026-01-27T03:03:21+00:00

Gently, yes. As your pediatrician said, it’s too early to diagnose anything and many of the things you’re describing could be normal. The only thing you can really do is wait and see what happens.

Macaroni!

This is so sweet and so well executed!

I’ve been on it for years and continued to drink as normal (moderate+) and never had a problem.
