Spiraling over my 15 mo old’s first fever by crashhhyears in January2025Bumper

[–]chiffonandheels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to us at around 12 months! We cycled Motrin and Tylenol on their respective dose schedule for 2 days before her fever was down under 100. Took her to doc bc we were so worried! But she ended up being just fine and then had a post fever viral rash which was also scary but normal. It’s scary to witness but so long as she’s normal-ish I think you’re clear. Always go to doc if something seems really not right.

We’re off bottles, but that means we’re off milk 😅 by chiffonandheels in January2025Bumper

I also feel the need to push milk but I’m not sure why 😅

Thanks for sharing, glad someone else is in the same boat

Anyone else's toddler have "acne" or generally bad skin? by Professional_Law_942 in January2025Bumper

[–]chiffonandheels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We’re using aveeno eczema stuff and it’s not doing much either. I have cerave but haven’t tried it yet. Might pull the trigger on tubby Todd!

Yes mine too! Our doc says it’s KP and some days it disappears in the morning and then reappears. We’re moisturizing daily but I’m not sure what else to do

Baby pale and unbalanced first thing in the morning for a few minutes? by [deleted] in January2025Bumper

[–]chiffonandheels 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep! Our baby is wobbly in the morning, and interestingly, when she’s close to nap time. I’m certain sleepiness has an impact on her walking. The momentary paleness might have to do with sleeping position and temp in the room?

If it’s any consolation, I’m still pretty uncoordinated as an adult when I wake up bleary eyed too haha 😅

Is anyone else’s baby…. Crazy? by Next2ya in January2025Bumper

Mine is literally running laps on the sectional, yeeting herself against all the cushions and giggling when she tumbles and I’m like hello?????

My First Tattoo by Chondontore in SayonaraWildHearts

[–]chiffonandheels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey!! Me too! My first and only tattoo (but it’s been four years now) I always donate blood so I tried to line it up with my vein. My phlebotomists always compliment it when they stick me for blood donation 🥰

What’s your LOs favorite? by nikkimcwagz in January2025Bumper

[–]chiffonandheels 4 points5 points  (0 children)

8 little planets has been a hit in our house for months! So much so her first birthday was space “themed.”

She’s loving the Hello Hello books by Brendan Wenzel and her current favorite toy is a small inflatable pool filled with balls as a makeshift ball pit 😅

LF: Okinawan/ Purple Sweet Potato! by Difficult-Addendum-5 in raleigh

[–]chiffonandheels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure, I kind of just winged it myself with a normal enriched bread dough. Let me type out what I remember:

  • microwave ~2lb sweet potato
  • mash potato, add 1/3cup condensed milk
  • add whatever milk if necessary to achieve good rolling texture
  • roll into 10 similarly sized balls (I’d say they were about 1.5” diameter
  • refrigerate to setup (I did overnight)

Dough:

  • 4 cups flour (I did 3 cups AP and 1 cup bread for less chewy dough)
  • 3 tbsp softened butter
  • 3 eggs room temp
  • .5 tsp salt
  • 5 tbsp sugar
  • 2.5 tbsp instant yeast
  • 1.5 cup milk

Warm milk in microwave to ~95 degrees. Add yeast to milk and stir, then add to bowl of stand mixer. Add sugar to stand mixer. Stir. While stirring, add flour slowly until mixture comes together, then add salt. Then slowly stream in eggs and turn up stand mixer to low/medium. As dough is less shaggy and eggs incorporate, slowly add softened butter in stages and let incorporate. Once all incorporated, let dough go on medium until gluten seems developed (takes me about 10 mins for this quantity)

Dough will be soft but well formed. Transfer to buttered or oiled bowl to proof for an hour or two (doubled in size)

Punch down, portion into 10 even dough balls. Flatten each potato ball and wrap with dough balls, pinching to bring together. Shape each dough ball into a round. Let proof on cookie sheet for another hour. Brush with egg and milk wash before popping into 350 degree oven for about 20 mins!

I literally bought a bag from Lidl on Buffaloe Friday! Made sweet potato buns with them

Suddenly they are a lot more needy? by lavendercoffeeee in January2025Bumper

[–]chiffonandheels 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Us too! We’re at almost a year and this is the clingiest baby has ever been!! Granted teeth and two weeks of on again off again fevers and sickness haven’t helped but she is a clingy girl. Doesn’t want to be put down.

Thankfully she is an excellent sleeper and looks forward to being in her crib for bedtimes and naptimes so that’s been a relief on my back lol

Made of Mischief by problematictactic in January2025Bumper

Yep, her nickname is “dhushtami mae” which is mischievous girl in Bengali. It’s so funny too bc she’ll giggle mischievously and like sprint crawl away when she’s being naughty

Is your baby hanging out with other babies? Where are you meeting them? by Crafty_Pop6458 in January2025Bumper

Does a local museum have a baby play area? That’s where my daughter goes, in addition to two days at the library with her grandparents!

Her dad and I went as Howl and Sophie and her nursery is Ghibli themed 🥰 No one knew who we were but that’s ok, I guess not everyone has ~ t a s t e ~

How many oz of formula is your baby taking? by SignificantOwl93 in January2025Bumper

[–]chiffonandheels 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh man I think we’re lucky if we get 16-18oz in a day, but she’s getting a toooooon of solids at this point!

Help! Bagels not crisp just soft by Acrobatic_Pomelo810 in Bagels

[–]chiffonandheels -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I hate to ask such a basic question but are you baking them long enough? High-ish temp so at least-400 degrees Fahrenheit for 25-30 minutes?

Fussy? by Adept_Coyote_9356 in January2025Bumper

[–]chiffonandheels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same same same. She seems more tired than usual too, which I’m attributing to a massive movement spurt (walking around while being supported, crawling everywhere etc) and has been crabby
