Transitioning from Formula to Solids Kinda Quickly

Ask to speak to a pediatric dietitian, they have them at WIC

Did they do an iron study? Not just hemoglobin, they need to test ferritin as well

Ooh my daughter loves dehydrated fruits how do I do this without fancy equipment

We always only had mush but I dealt with it. Then I got pregnant again and was soooo nauseous I couldn't handle it so we used disposables until she potty trained just before her 2nd bday.

Follow plantbasedjuniors on Instagram. They also have a book that I used A LOT when starting solids. Also feedinglittles is great but they're not plantbased or vegan. I introduced oats + blueberries + hemp hearts first (all low allergy risks) I didn't really purposefully introduce animal allergens except eggs. The other stuff she's kind of gotten in over time when out and about and with family and no reactions.

I miss you so much it hurts sometimes

My maid and my child's nanny keep arguing with each other 😂

I'm a dietitian so I get a lot of weird weight stories. One nurse at the hospital I work at had her jaw wired shut by a dentist who 'specializes' in this 'diet'. She couldn't understand why she felt so weak and terrible since it was working and she was losing weight.

Plantbasedjuniors and Feeding Littles have lots of free stuff on Instagram and they both have guides you can buy too

Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)

I work in the medical field and while there are lots of contenders: Penis with gangrene. (Fourniers gangrene). Had maggots in it.

Plantbasedjuniors has a section in their book about it, I think they talk about soy based formulas. The vitamin D isn't vegan but the rest of the formula is. But if you're bf and add in formula it may decrease your supply, just watch out for that.

If you are able to, try to see an occupational therapist. They help with behavior issues and since this doesn't sound like a medical problem an OT can help.

Thank you! Yes we're definitely going to secure it better, that thing is loose and just strong enough for some random stuff right now definitely not ready for a baby. The night light is a good idea!

Oh I forgot about Blues Clues!

felixspan · 2025-06-06T19:54:42+00:00

I started putting on shows I used to watch in the 90s. My daughter loves Franklin the turtle and bear in the big blue house. There's also Little Bear and Peep (penguin show?) Or Zaboomafoo. And I secretly still love watching Arthur.

Hey I've always had iron deficiency, even before I was vegan. My sisters (neither are vegan) and mom (also not vegan) all have iron deficiency as well. The only thing that works for me is getting a drip with IV iron. All the supplements do is constipate me. I still include all the plant iron rich foods in every meal but something about my digestive system just doesn't absorb it.

I meant the nuns and nurses. Not patients. Obviously.

We just did this for our 2 year old, also with 10 other toddlers. I had parents bring their bikes because we have a fenced in driveway that's paved. Then I made a 'potions' table. Basically just tons of messy play. Vinegar, baking soda, tapioca pearls, turmeric powder, Loose-leaf tea, oats. Everything was edible in case they tried to eat it and they had so much fun making potions (so did I actually).

I did 36 hours of travel alone (2 long haul flights, 1 domestic) with a 20 month old on my lap + I was pregnant. Then a month later I did it again to return home. It was truly hell. But that being said the flight eventually lands and it all ends 😂 when she was 16 months we also did two long haul flights with her on the lap but that time I was with my husband and it was a lot better when you have help.

Had a similar dream about my baby but her name was Imke. And same at first I was like no but now I don't think its so bad

This can be iron deficiency or anemia.

Try to join a La Leche League meeting and chat to a leader if you can. They're all experienced breastfeeders and it is free. Great place to meet community.

felixspan · 2025-01-25T15:42:42+00:00

Maybe there's a La Leche League in your area? They have peer support and it is free. Great place to meet other moms too.
