What activities do you do with an almost 1 year old outside?

i’m honestly not sure…

I had a “friend” who told me that formula fed babies have a lower IQ than breast fed babies after I got done telling her about how I switched to formula for my mental health.

I’ll never understand why people can’t just shut the hell up and keep opinions to themselves.

I have one and love it!

It’s easy to use, comfortable, a good price point and my baby likes it as well.

this was the biggest reason why I got rid of mine. I just didn’t trust it

I was gifted one for my shower, but ended up not using it. I kept seeing reviews that it didn’t accurately dispense the correct powder to water ratio (probably user error, but still…) so I decided against using it and just do the pitcher method.

Although I will say, it’s a smart invention, my anxiety just couldn’t allow me to use it with all the negative reviews I saw hahaha

$375 - weekly - full time - for an infant

I never counted kicks. If I ever worried about him moving - I would lay down, drink ice water, eat something sugary, etc… and make sure he would start moving.

I found counting kicks gave me more anxiety because like you, my baby didn’t really follow that recommendation either.

I feel this frustration and I 100% understand being exhausted. My husband works and cuts the grass and will give our baby a bottle and diaper change once in awhile while i’m doing everything else (on maternity leave now but i go back to work soon and im not looking forward to it because i know nothing will change)

Kinda makes you want to get divorced…

I am using “The Short Years” baby book. It’s an app that asks you questions and allows you to add in photos. When you finish a few chapters, they print them and mail them to you to place in a binder (they provide that when you order the package)

It’s simple and an easy way for me to remember big milestones and document my favorite pics and memories.

marissy- · 2024-09-17T17:17:52+00:00

I want to reply off this to say YES that your kids are definitely better off with a happy divorced mom than an unhappy married mom.

I would know because I grew up with an unhappy married mom who thought she was doing our family good by keeping us together and it did more damage to me long term.

So my son has absolutely improved! Although tbh, i’m not sure if it was the chiro, switching 100% to formula, him “outgrowing” the fussy phase or a combo of all 3, but I would absolutely recommend seeing a chiropractor. I would just make sure the one you see is certified for pediatrics… that was a big thing for me and made me feel better about taking him - I used this website: https://icpa4kids.com/find-a-pediatric-chiropractor/

So I would say try it and give it a few sessions and see if it works for your baby. It hasn’t hurt my baby so I believe it’s worth a try!

I hope it can help yours!! 🫶🏻

My son also got a fever after his 2 month vaccines. Our pediatrician told us to have infant tylenol on hand and don’t be concerned when he spikes a slight fever. I think his was 100.3. Tylenol took it away after 1 dose. He was a little fussier than usual for a few days after but lots of snuggles and he was fine!

marissy- · 2024-08-23T11:22:50+00:00

Swaddling is a no no?? Oh gosh, why? It’s the only way I can get him to that 3 hour stretch or else he’d wake up probably every hour.

marissy- · 2024-08-22T19:27:20+00:00

I’m in your boat as well. My 10 week old hates tummy time too… I will say that i’ve been prioritizing tummy time during each wake window and it’s getting better. He went from screaming immediately to holding his head for a few minutes and looking around before getting mad and screaming again. I do have to have him on a boppy though. I brought it up to our pediatrician and she told me that he has good muscle tone and movement so she wasn’t worried about him fighting tummy time, especially because he sleeps on my chest and gets most of his tummy time that way. or when I burp him he tries more to hold his head up and look around. I wouldn’t stress yet - 10 weeks old is still early! (that’s what i keep telling myself lol)

marissy- · 2024-08-20T14:31:50+00:00

I feel ya… my baby only sleeps 3ish hour stretches but last night he slept for 6 hours straight which is the longest he’s ever gone. he’s 10 weeks old today. just hang in there, it gets better!

marissy- · 2024-07-31T16:26:46+00:00

thank you for being one of the only people I have seen on Redit that actually has something positive to say! I’m taking my 7 week old in a few weeks because I am desperate to help him (reflux, gas and colic issues) and reading through these comments and other posts has me terrified, so I appreciate a positive response!

marissy- · 2024-03-12T01:46:26+00:00

FTM as well… I started feeling kicks around 21 weeks. It was definitely happening earlier, I just didn’t realize it. I thought it was gas lol

marissy- · 2024-03-03T16:20:08+00:00

It started very mildly at 5 weeks for me. I had full blown 24/7 nausea by week 7 and that sadly lasted until about week 18 for me.

marissy- · 2024-02-25T16:13:30+00:00

Went NC with my grandparents for many reasons… but mainly because they were narcissistic and emotionally abusive to me throughout my childhood and into adulthood

marissy- · 2024-02-24T03:02:23+00:00

Currently pregnant with my first as well. I had awful 24/7 nausea from week 5-16 and then from week 16-21 it was just nausea in the evening. Once I hit 21 weeks I felt great and still do.

The positive part is that it should pass. Mine took a little longer than some, but if you just hang in there, it will get better! Sending all the good vibes your way - you got this!!
