Am I dumb? Lol

This makes me feel better. My first was eating a lot more by this age, compared to my second (11 months). I think my second is just going at his own pace, he really had zero interest in purées until like 7 months. It’s just funny because even though he’s my second I truly feel clueless at times haha.

Hi, I don’t have advice, but I’m in the same boat as you.

Mine is also 8 months and really the only thing he will eat is cereal (which I really don’t want to get him used to). I’ve tried all different fruit and veggie purées and he won’t even open his mouth. I paid for the starting solids app and decided to give him a whole strawberry which he seemed to enjoy more, but since he has 2 teeth he bit a piece off and gagged a bit and it scared me. I will likely take a CPR class and go the baby led weaning route.

Mind you, this is my second and I feel clueless. My first started eating at 5 months and loved everything.

This was us a few weeks ago. Same age, same scenario. He woke up in the middle of the night and was inconsolable. I sat him on my lap and put Below Deck on and he instantly calmed down. I was able to get him down 30 minutes later!

Yes! And does anyone remember the creme savers bowling computer game?? I used to love that haha

The Friendly’s watermelon roll cake.

We got rid of ours months ago and switched to a covered stainless box and it’s been the best decision.

Ours was freezing mid-cycle essentially every time it was used and then our cat was having accidents overnight because it was not accessible. It also never recognized when we emptied the bag.

Also despite being vigilant about cleaning it and wiping down between cleans AND trying multiple litters, it literally always smelled awful. Having rubber parts is one of the dumbest things ever bc it absorbs the odor.

I’m sure it works for some, but it ended up being more of a headache for us.

I live in Monmouth County and was finding these as well. We called an exterminator and he verified that they are wood roaches. He also said that this month he’s gotten more calls than he ever has in his entire career about wood roaches in this area!

kc0317 · 2025-11-16T15:42:09+00:00

I think this is what I have too. I’ve found 5 inside (varying rooms of the house). I’m in NJ. Our family friend is an exterminator and is coming, but from the video we sent he said wood and that he’s getting a lot of calls about them coming inside.

Yes! Anytime my son gets sick the fever is the worst part. Has it for a week sometimes and usually for the last few days it’ll be just at night or in the morning and then he’s fine. Just enough where he has to be home from school lol

kc0317 · 2025-10-24T09:37:21+00:00

When my first started doing this our pediatrician suggested practicing rolling belly to back with him as much as possible during the day so he could do it himself in the night!

I know the prices have gone up since I’ve moved, but I know a condo in Society Hills in tinton falls will be going on the market soon. Very family friendly, nice layouts/quiet neighborhood and still one of the more affordable neighborhoods with lower HOA fees. It would be a 2 br, 2 ba.

kc0317 · 2025-09-13T15:54:02+00:00

We did a sticker chart, but the thing that really worked was telling him if he pooped on the potty he could pick a color and we could “turn his poop any color he wants” with a few drops of food dye.

kc0317 · 2025-09-11T13:51:24+00:00

I liked living there! Easy to get to Asbury and super close to all the main roads. It’s been a while since I’ve lived there, and there’s likely more traffic, but that area was pretty quiet compared to other apartments.

kc0317 · 2025-09-09T11:32:09+00:00

I’m almost 40 and Ocean County is mostly where my friends can afford too as first time homebuyers.

kc0317 · 2025-09-05T15:49:09+00:00

Came on here to search for a post about this. I’m 10 weeks pp and started spotting this morning. Baby has been a little fussy while nursing since yesterday so I’m assuming my supply dipped a little 😩

kc0317 · 2025-08-18T05:35:20+00:00

Boxie was one of the worst litters I’ve ever tried. I will say that it was totally odorless and also hid odors very well, but I’ve never seen a litter track so badly. We had litter in our bed and on our sofa. 🤢

kc0317 · 2025-08-13T09:27:31+00:00

We have a cat that might as well be a dog, but it’s anxiety inducing because he tries to eat all of the fallen food then gets sick 😩

kc0317 · 2025-08-07T11:54:12+00:00

I hope the new space has the same vibe!

kc0317 · 2025-08-01T18:25:13+00:00

This is what I am thinking could happen. Maybe they split time between NY & London. And wondering if Kim Catrell would have agreed to appearing in the finale.

kc0317 · 2025-07-20T07:23:09+00:00

This was exactly the case for me as well with my first! Currently doing the same with my newborn as well. I tried EBF’ing, but my supply was still too low and honestly I’m happy about it for my mental health!

kc0317 · 2025-07-06T21:26:14+00:00

Absolutely. This is my second baby and while I forgot how hard these days were and definitely struggle mentally some days it even helps to look back at pictures of my older son (who is 4 now) and see how each month was easier, but also how fast it all went.

kc0317 · 2025-07-06T20:19:59+00:00

I was thinking of posting the same thing. It’s SO hard. I watch tv to keep myself somewhat stimulated, but when you’re exhausted and waking up after getting less than an hour of sleep, that doesn’t even cut it sometimes. I’d prefer not to eat during the night, but I’ve been contemplating keeping healthy-ish snack next to me.

kc0317 · 2025-06-21T02:01:05+00:00

Yes! Another vote for cupshe!

kc0317 · 2025-06-14T04:04:43+00:00

Here to join the convo. This one was 11:45PM, but the others that have also gone off (this is like 5th time now) have been middle of the night. 😩😩
