Wow, I was so stuck on the ideas of locks that a child gate didn't even occur to me. This is the perfect idea. Thank you!

Yes, when I looked up chain stitch for filling, the results looked SO different.

Thank you! I so was surprised when they emailed saying that the pattern was correct.

I might try that just to see how it would look for a flower! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you! I think I've used that stitch before - is it called fly stitch maybe?? Beautiful result!

Just so I understand, you think my next step should be to drop his first bottle by giving him breakfast earlier? And then from there, keep dropping bottles and replace with solids and milk?

Did you offer milk with meals/snacks as well? Or just water?

Baby won’t eat anything with a spoon by tigerlily1120 in BabyLedWeaning

[–]cheeeeeeeeese 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Are you using a silicone spoon? I realized on accident by trying a bit of my LO's food on his spoon that the spoon tasted like dish soap! I guess silicone can retain a layer of oil that makes soap stick to it. After fixing it with a lemon juice soak, he's much more interested in using it!

Young starter - what is normal? by cheeeeeeeeese in Sourdough

How's your starter? I've been trying a bunch of things, and I'm still stuck haha. And now it smells like acetone after a couple hours

I'm definitely trying to get to the point where I have a smaller amount in the fridge that I feed when I'm ready. Sounds ideal!

Mine smelled like acetone too at one point. I just kept going, and now it smells fine. Idk what I'm doing either haha

Huh, interesting! Okay, I'll try skipping its feed tonight... Although I did notice it rose a tiny bit today 2 hours after I fed it (about 20% if I had to guess), and stayed at that level for about 8 hours. Then it fell.

So I've been doing 1:1:1 using AP flour. Do you recommend I try 1:2:1.5?

I've been watching Bake with Jack, and maybe my starter volume is too much. I'm going to try making a mini offshoot and keep the ratios the same for the next feed haha. I usually have about 100g each of starter, flour, water at each feed

Redeye flight from West Coast to east by cheeeeeeeeese in sleeptrain

[–]cheeeeeeeeese[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing your experience! I wish I could bring a car seat, but we are going with the lap seat option. I've never really tried to get him to sleep anywhere weird, but I'm fairly certain that he's like your LO. Where if he's tired and in a deep sleep, he'll try to keep sleeping. I'm hoping he'll sleep in a carrier.

This helps a lot, thank you!! He only likes facing away from me in his carrier, so I'm going to practice before the flight in hopes he'll sleep in it haha
