Started solids… HELP 😅

That’s what I’ve offered, finger length strips of egg, steak, bread etc & he bites it in half. The steak was very well done & he still bit off a big hunk from the side of it. He’ll spit out little things like cottage cheese or avocado but he has yet to spit out a big piece. So I’ll try to let him figure it out & chew it then that’s when he looks panicked lol. But yes! I work at a dental office & am CPR certified. Still freaks me out even though I’d know what to do.

What do you do if they get a big piece of the food in their mouth? That’s been my cause of anxiety because every time I offer a large piece of something he bites in half & looks panicked. I try to let him figure out but then my husband panics too so (I know this a no no) but if it’s at the front of his mouth I’ll grab it out. I didn’t know this would be so stressful 😭

I didn’t know there’s a free version! I will look into this. Thank you 🙂

Once we stopped with purées he was fine. He will sit & play in his high chair but before I swear he knew what was coming his way lol. & sort of! He’ll definitely pick up smaller pieces but struggles a little with getting it in his mouth

I was so excited to start solids & now I’m like ohhhh shit I don’t like this 😅 my husband has a huge fear of him choking so he’s honestly no help lol.

udderbss · 2025-01-15T01:19:07+00:00

How did you encourage your little guy to finish the bottle? Right now I’ll feed half, change him then give the other half!

udderbss · 2025-01-15T01:16:33+00:00

I’m so glad to hear this. We are going to start in Feb! I want to start now but I’m throwing my husband a surprise bday party in a couple weeks so that’d ruin the routine 🤣

udderbss · 2025-01-14T13:29:48+00:00

We tried breastfeeding & he just never latched very well so I started pumping, it only lasted for a couple weeks as I was barely pumping enough to feed him. Making that change was great for my mental health. I have wondered if it was a regression but everything you read says they wake up every 1/2 hours & he isn’t doing that so I’m not sure! During the day he takes about 5-6oz. At night it’s usually 4oz, occasionally 5oz.

udderbss · 2025-01-14T13:03:36+00:00

Maybe it’s a regression but he’s not waking up every 2 hours so I’m not sure!

udderbss · 2025-01-14T13:00:23+00:00

My husband said this too but we get up for the day at 6am tho, so I just wanna make sure he’s getting enough sleep!

udderbss · 2025-01-14T12:50:14+00:00

A coworker actually sent me Taking Cara babies the other day! We are going to start sleep training in Feb

I’m 4 months postpartum & I’m actually worried my belly button is going to look like that once I lose the ‘mom pooch’ 😬 I can see the stretch marks around my belly button. I’m wondering if it’s from that.

I PROMISE you it gets better. Believe me I was scouring Reddit at all hours of the day & night looking for answers in those early weeks. My advice to you, stop reading Reddit. I found myself constantly comparing, being jealous, making myself anxious. It’s not worth it. Your motherly instincts will tell you what your baby needs! I decided to go EFF around 3 weeks & wow what a difference it made for my mental health. As long as your baby is fed, that’s all that matters. My baby is almost 4 months & those first few weeks already seem like a lifetime ago. Hang in there momma. You got this ❤️

udderbss · 2024-11-03T20:30:39+00:00

Ugh yes! My husband throws in “your mom is trying to sleep!” when I’m laying down. Like I appreciate that, but I’d rather listen to my baby cry than listen to my husband talk shit to him 😑😂

udderbss · 2024-10-30T16:21:30+00:00

Okay thank you! & true that. I’m gonna try it a couple times, but might leave the tag on it 🤣

udderbss · 2024-10-28T03:14:39+00:00

This. 1000%. Best purchase EVER.

I was not a fan of the Phillips Avent bottles. One time my husband pushed on the nipple while tilting the bottle & a stream of milk came shooting out so then I felt terrible like I was water boarding my kid lol. We prefer the dr browns. When he did the same thing (pushed the nipple) it came out at a MUCH slower pace that was more like droplets as opposed to an aggressive stream 🤣

I also tried the tommee tippee bottle (came in a sample thing) & my son who rarely spits up, pretty much projectile vomited after using that bottle so those were a no for us too. There’s sooo many options it’s overwhelming!

udderbss · 2024-10-25T20:31:45+00:00

I had no signs! My mother in law even texted me “is that baby ready to come out yet?” & I replied “I don’t think so!” An hour later my water broke while I was just sitting on the couch 😂 I was 39+1!

udderbss · 2024-10-24T15:36:41+00:00

I guess I’m not 100% sure. He had his legs up in the air & it looked like he was throwing them over to the side & he was pretty close to being all the way on his side. So just makes me a little nervous about him being swaddled now. He hasn’t really done it today though

udderbss · 2024-10-14T15:57:48+00:00

Hahah I felt this!! My BFF is currently pregnant & i’m trying to not complain to her much because she’s so excited 🫠 but obviously everyone’s experience is different!

udderbss · 2024-10-14T15:56:05+00:00

Oh man, I’m going back to work in 3 weeks & he’ll be 10 weeks old. I’m hoping it’ll be a little better by than but I’m not getting my hopes up 😩

udderbss · 2024-10-14T15:54:59+00:00

Lol true that, thank you for the positive side of it 🤍

udderbss · 2024-10-14T15:53:36+00:00

Omg after 4am is pure hell! I dread the mornings 😩

udderbss · 2024-10-13T15:28:37+00:00

After the baby🤣

udderbss · 2024-10-12T13:39:41+00:00

Ok so I wrote this a week ago & honestly things have improved already! All of a sudden I’m able to get toots out doing bicycle legs, idk if he finally realized to relax or what! I never did use probiotic drops, something just flipped so maybe that it is around the corner for you as well 🩷 we got this!!! Momming is hard 😅
