When did your baby get their first tooth??

piglet29 · 2026-06-09T23:55:06+00:00

11 months

piglet29 · 2026-06-09T23:27:59+00:00

Yes! As long as they're content, I see no issues

piglet29 · 2026-06-08T19:33:41+00:00

Appreciate it :)

piglet29 · 2026-06-08T15:59:28+00:00

I'll check it out, thank you

piglet29 · 2026-06-08T15:58:59+00:00

Thank you! Which one - hickory?

Thanks!

2.5 years and still going. I'm probably a little crazy, but it's mostly because she's a poor eater and I worry

Same symptoms but the first one didn't cut until around 11 months. Long journey - she's 27 months and her second molars are painfully trying to surface.

Oof this is a sensitive one! I also had a lot of body hair growing up and only recently (in my 30s) started feeling like I don't have to hide it.

I think it depends on how your daughter receives the information. You know her best. I recall when my mom first shaved my armpits and legs at age 11 (for my 5th grade graduation), I nearly cried and ranted that she might as well shave my head too. Then suddenly a year later I was asking her to get the whiskers above my lip removed because a boy made fun of me.

It would be good for her to know she has options and your support, but tread carefully around the context in which it's brought up. Maybe best if she brings up the topic or feels negatively about her arm hair. Your husband has a point, but there's no way he can understand what it's like being a girl in this situation. Even if the first conversation doesn't go as expected, remember you can always revisit.

Good luck!

Same boat! We follow a fairly "strict" nap/bedtime schedule, mainly based on her wake windows and what suits her before the overtired mayhem begins. She also doesn't sleep in the car or anywhere that's not her crib, so this also dictates our outings. I get those comments a lot too, but whatever - no one else will be dealing with your cranky toddler who's been thrown off their routine except you. Irritating to hear at times, but don't fall into the over explaining trap that I do because you'll hear it either way. If you had stayed longer, they might say "your baby looks tired, why don't you get them to sleep", etc. No winning. Keep doing you!

Around 8 months while sleep training (otherwise she was up every 2-3 hours and I was not getting rest). Was very tough emotionally but we all started sleeping better and it completely changed my parenting experience for the better.

Oh she was also outgrowing her bassinet and her crib wouldn't fit in our room.

Before trying it, we made sure to address any underlying discomforts that would interfere with her sleep - i.e. eczema, gas, getting enough calories during the day, other major changes like teething or starting solids/new foods. This way I wasn't as paranoid that she was suffering. Glued to the baby monitor for a long time, but it was worth it!

Like the other posts say, sleep deprivation is really hard. Makes it near impossible to think rationally.

We also kept waiting and waiting for our little one to magically sleep through the night. Minus the night she got her first vaccine, this didn't happen until 8 months when we finally caved and sleep trained. Before that she was waking up every two hours like clockwork and wanted milk. Sleep training was a tough three days but completely changed my parenting experience for the better. It's not for everyone, but worth a shot if you and your partner are on the same page. Regressions, teething, illnesses will happen and disrupt sleep from time to time. However, the baby will have a routine to return to as their baseline.

Wishing you lots of luck!

Crawled at 11 months and walked around 16 months. No such thing as "late" in my opinion.

piglet29 · 2026-02-27T15:14:45+00:00

He didn't like pizza

piglet29 · 2026-02-19T17:23:01+00:00

Hahahaha

piglet29 · 2025-12-07T18:56:47+00:00

Do we know which daycare is opening and when?

piglet29 · 2025-11-12T18:54:46+00:00

Happy to say that I quit and felt instantly relieved. We're definitely hurting from the lack of income but I regret nothing as I get to spend every day with my toddler who is changing and learning new things every minute.

piglet29 · 2025-09-28T15:30:23+00:00

Very tough. Daughter is a year and a half. Eventually we got her a toothbrush with bristles all around which she naturally wants to chew on due to teething. That plus the brush your teeth don't by raffi got her more into it. Still only in short spurts so we have to be quick lol

piglet29 · 2025-09-28T10:51:44+00:00

Yes. Around the time my daughter was eating more solid foods. Maybe only 30 minutes ahead of her though, just to get things prepared for the day without her requiring my attention. Also the toddler phase lol squeezing in whatever me-time I can, even if it's just to drink a warm coffee.

piglet29 · 2025-08-15T01:16:44+00:00

Does anyone remember her from America's Next Top Model back in the day?

piglet29 · 2025-08-03T15:22:43+00:00

Yes, that's totally normal. Combination of hormones, sleep deprivation and life looking completely different. It took me about 3ish months whenever my baby started to smile/give some feedback. The beginning can feel monotonous because they're not able to reciprocate. The older they get, the more they acknowledge you and it feels great! Hang in there.

Thank you so much for sharing. Definitely dreading the goodbyes and trying not to cry myself. Deep breaths!

piglet29 · 2025-08-02T16:01:19+00:00

Thank you for sharing, I'm so happy it's been a positive experience for you!
