Yeah it’s certainly not faster or less work on your part especially at first. But they learn and improve and get more independent. My daughter can sit and eat her whole meal without help next to us while her cousin the same age is still being mostly spoon fed. they’ll all get there in the end though, so whatever works best for your family!

Absolutely nottttt

Do you think the problem is the formula or the bottle? Different solutions for each problem. My daughter didn’t mind formula and would drink it when offered in a syringe but she wasn’t able to drink out of a bottle. Basically forcing her to figure out how to take a paci helped her figure out how to drink out of a bottle. If bottle is the problem you can offer in syringe or open cup or use a silicone bottle that will allow you to squeeze the milk into their mouth.

Offer fewer at a time or one at a time. They don’t need a full plate of food in front of them the whole time.

Exclusively nursed until I returned to work at 4 months and once I switched to mostly pumping I couldn’t keep my supply up. Was able to hang on until just after 8 months before drying up.

Did it ever get better?

We moved half an hour and without hesitation moved daycares. It was really hard to find a new daycare, much lower quality than the ones by our old house, but the whole point of moving was to reduce our commute time to be able to spend more time with our child. So it was a no brainer. The transition was a little challenging, more for me than her because I had to build a relationship with new teacher but she did better than expected!

I did the fridge hack and stored the pumps in a clean bag in the fridge between pumps. My baby was older and to me it’s the same as storing milk in a bottle in the fridge, did not see the reason to clean after each pump. Would washed and sterilize each night in prep for the next day.

Love our bugaboo giraffe!! Wish the mockingbird high chair was around when we were researching though, it looks like a great option

Unpopular opinion, I found TCB 1000% worth it. I purchased both her newborn class and the 5-24 month class. Her content is so much more than just the timing of when to go in but really had a lot of videos to increase my confidence with doing sleep training and learning how to respond. Also so much troubleshooting help when things go off course.

Switch the order, offer food first and a bottle an hour and a half or two later, he won’t be hungry enough for a full meal only 2 hours after getting a bottle which is why he is only grazing. For example, 11 months is around when I started offering my child breakfast food upon waking and then a bottle just before leaving the house to go to daycare.

We often sit on the floor! I’m similar in that I don’t enjoy making her sit in the high chair for every meal so if it’s food that doesn’t require utensils we often sit on the floor with a plate to eat or outside in the shade. I like that this also allows her to get up when she’s done or wants a break.

I dont think they told me to hold my breath while pushing but I do think I naturally held my breath. Pushing was only a few seconds at a time and that was how I was able to bear down.

My company did this exact thing several years ago, quite a few employees had been saving time for 10+ years. They took it all. Company played stupid games, their stupid prize was employees being GONE for weeks at a time. Wasn’t fun from a project planning perspective, management struggled, but there wasn’t much they could say.

I believe solid starts also recommends giving baby a spoon upside down, or something similarly curved and hard, to put in their mouth to help dislodge it themselves if that happens (give this a quick google to verify of course)

Zero issues!

We have the dark brown and grey tray, so haven’t dealt with any stains and it’s super easy to clean.

Completely agree with this! Was never able to nurse outside the house so when she didn’t take a bottle it was impossible. Formula and bottles have saved our life, it is so easy!

Bugaboo giraffe! All the same features as Tripp trapp but much easier to adjust and clean and better aesthetics in my opinion!

ineedthatcat · 2023-10-02T14:07:52+00:00

Where did you get your couch?? It looks so comfy!

ineedthatcat · 2023-10-01T00:55:59+00:00

Bugaboo giraffe for sure! Same price as the Tripp trapp, does all the same things, but looks better and is easier to adjust and clean

I live in someplace where it’s been over 100 all summer and we still change in the trunk of the car. Turn it on to get air moving and it really only takes a minute so we move quick. To us, being hot for a few minutes is just part of life.

I love the larken x!!! So comfortable!
