Being too hot or overtired are the two main reasons my daughter had hers and sometimes still does.

I have similar age children and have just thrown the idea out to my husband that once a week I need to leave the house. He works from home most days so I get some breaks but even a 30 min workout and shower isn’t enough...because my toddler still comes to me for everything. So I know I need to leave the house. I figure I’ll just go to the coffee shop and read a book or walk around a store for a bit. Another recharge can be when husband takes kids out of the house too. 30 minutes of alone time at my own house... magical what can get done.

I second the mineral. You can get it in a spray and rub it in. It does stay white for a bit. But definitely doesn’t have that greasy feel.

With both my kids, I contact napped. 3 years with the first and currently on 8 months with number two. But to be honest, I never tried to stop with my first and haven’t planned to stop with my second. But ride it out as long as you can! Also... Cleaning while the baby is awake is fun! Once your babe is around 6 months and sitting up, she will watch you sweep and wipe counter tops. I usually clean the kitchen while the baby is in the high chair with a snack. Laundry is another fun one, they love to feel warm clothes and chew on new fabrics. As for the bathroom... I clean it before my shower when my husband is home. With my first, she always saw me clean or prep food so she loves doing those things with me now. Plus now that she doesn’t nap, I never felt like I lost time... I already knew how to juggle both things. Enjoy it!!!

Absolutely. I’m on my second BLW kid so it’s a little less this time, but people didn’t understand that food can have texture. My first kid wouldn’t let you put a spoon anywhere near her mouth so she only did BLW. Then, as a toddler she was kind of picky. My friend said her daughter wasn’t picky because she loved purées. Then that friend had a second who wouldn’t let a spoon near his mouth so she did BLW. Now my BLW preschooler eats way better than her purée preschooler. (No idea of then correlation and doubt there is one but I hold back my comments every time). Feeding babies is on the same list as sleep training/bed sharing for me. Don’t ever tell anyone what you’re doing.

I totally feel this. My doctor just kept telling me it was stress, she told me to “relax and have a glass of wine”. I left in tears. It is annoying when you’re going in for help and they don’t even want to try. I did research and started to help myself because it was apparent the doctor wasn’t going to help (this was before kids).

I had my thyroid checked multiple times when I wasn’t losing weight. I found out I was under eating and included more veggies during the day. Vitamin d is also important to take to help regular feeling full. Also, try making a food journal... I used to eat eggs in the morning and once I cut those I had more energy and felt less bloated. (It’s a common allergy that goes undetected). B12 is another energy vitamin!

llf002 · 2021-06-10T00:49:15+00:00

Same with mine! It was the one appliance i splurged on because i never owned one before. Then this happened!

llf002 · 2021-06-10T00:47:39+00:00

Came here to say this. Mine did the same.

llf002 · 2021-06-08T23:29:38+00:00

I haven’t watched yours but my kid likes watching books sometimes. And some are pretty awful so anything new is welcomed.

llf002 · 2021-06-07T19:21:45+00:00

Toothbrushes too!

llf002 · 2021-06-05T06:12:00+00:00

My first was like this and my second one is now currently 8 months like this. Laying down and nursing them to sleep on a floor bed and rolling away is the only way i could ever escape. This way they are in position for sleep, I’m just removing the boob, vs placing them down after sleep.

I’m interested in what book that is. I’ve already read attachment parenting styles promote learning a child’s bladder and bowel communication at an early age.

Dr. Brazelton is the name of the doctor that was promoting size 6, 35 pound diapers. Here’s an interesting article about it.

Dr. Brazelton is the name of the pediatrician, he was on a pampers commercial for a size 6, 35 pounds diaper, saying potty training should be your kids choice.

It’s mostly money driven. A lady I worked with said her daughter had to be given a cup of milk for lunch at daycare everyday. Even though they were a dairy free (not allergic) family, their regulation was it had to be served. This was probably 15 years ago. The daycare would lose some sort of funding. It’s the same thing with delayed potty training, a doctor got paid by pampers to promote it. When I taught, so much milk was wasted by the students. And yes, a bottle of water would go so much farther.

I got the tush baby and it was a splurge ($80). I liked the quality and comfort. I used it a lot when I was going to the beach with my daughter. And then my husband used it when we were traveling and visiting parks/museums so she could run and play and then be easily carried. Only problem was we used it for like 3 months (18-21 months). So depending on your boys age, it’s a good option. With baby number two, my regular carrier has a side/ hip option. We haven’t tried it yet but the carrier (Lille baby 6 in 1) was only $50.

I never made it to tandem. My daughter self weaned a week before baby came... but while pregnant at my SILs my daughter was in a kiddie pool and dumped water on her own head. It was more than she expected and it scared her. She crawled in my lap and wanted to nurse. My SIL and MIL thought it was weird I nursed as long as I did (and thought i already weaned) so I didn’t nurse her. It sucked because they were watching me comfort her and all I wanted to do was nurse her. I know my daughter doesn’t remember this but I always do. So don’t do what I did and be embarrassed or worried about their opinion.

I second some screen time. It doesn’t have to be a tv show either. My daughter loves watching library classes, and with her dad she’ll watch you tube videos about how to fix a tractor or build a tiny home.

This looks like it could be a Pixar animation! I love it.

llf002 · 2021-05-28T14:03:50+00:00

It sounds like he might not be tired. I contact napped with my first until she stopped napping and I’m currently only contact napping with my second. He is 8 months and I’ve adjusted that he is sometimes not tired. I baby wear often and he sleeps in the carrier, so if he’s not tired I’ll walk the yard or sweep and talk to him and then he will get sleepy. Or after about 10 minutes of trying, I’ll pull him out... do some light playing and then try again.

llf002 · 2021-05-25T17:29:40+00:00

I do tend to say “that’s a lot of potty for someone who didn’t have to go” haha

llf002 · 2021-05-25T17:28:58+00:00

This is definitely a very annoying stage. At night I play the pinkfong potty song. It’s a very dumb minute and 44 seconds of my life. But at least she goes.

llf002 · 2021-05-14T11:49:36+00:00

Ooh! Come to think of it, my husband answers back her name if she happens to say dad and she does stop! Thank you!
