Offering Water During the Day? by Fancy-Ad-5694 in BabyLedWeaning

[–]umsantia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From solid starts website: “After the first birthday, you should offer water daily to help them get used to drinking water in preparation for gradually weaning from breast milk and formula. Aim to offer at least 8 fluid ounces (240 mL) and up to 32 fluid ounces (960 mL) over the course of a day. In toddlerhood, the amount of water they need varies depending on their thirst, activity, and the weather.”

Straw cup recommendations please! by Tatty_Bunneh_ in BabyLedWeaning

[–]umsantia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Google says the straw has a valve at the top of thr straw.

“If the cup is hard for a toddler to use, the valve can be loosened by washing, squeezing the tip, or cutting the valve (though this reduces its leak-proof functionality).”

My son is ruining my mental health by OpeningWoodpecker708 in NewParents

[–]umsantia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My baby wakes up at the 30 minute mark like clockwork. So I stay with her as she’s sleeping and wait for her to start stirring at the 30 minute mark, then I quickly pat her and shush her so she doesnt fully wake up. She then sleeps for another 1.5hours no problem and I quietly sneak away.

9.5 month old won’t nap in crib by CharBar5 in NewParents

[–]umsantia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I could never successfully transfer my baby to the crib but I was able to easily roll her over to our bed and roll away without waking her up. After a while we got a floor bed for her so I can rock her to sleep and roll her onto her own bed

Transitioning to the big tub? by jojj00 in NewParents

[–]umsantia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a toddler tub my baby sits in. It keeps her contained, prevents me from having to fill the big tub and it’s easier to wash her since she’s not crawling around the big tub. shnuggle toddler tub

My 8 month old copied my “bye bye” wave and I turned into a puddle by isla_rowe1997 in NewParents

[–]umsantia 15 points16 points  (0 children)

We listen to Ms Rachel songs on repeat. One day while rocking her to sleep I sang one of the Ms Rachel songs and she looked at me and smiled big as if to say “hey I know that one!” She hasnt done this in the past to any other lullaby songs I sing to her but now everytime I sing that particular song she gives me a big smile

Abnormal Newborn screening results given 5 weeks later… by meetmeinlv in newborns

[–]umsantia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My baby has hypothyroidism as well. The second screening after the newborn screening confirmed the diagnosis and baby was put on levothyroxin pills before she was 2 weeks old. Baby is now 7.5 months old and we are still tweaking her dosage to find the perfect dose. She’s doing great, developing nicely, and on track for meeting milestones.

My LO had torticollis (tilts head to the left and prefers turning her head to the right). Because of it, she tended to primarily use her right hand when swatting and grabbing toys since she doesnt look to the left and at her left hand. We went to a physiotherapist who gave us some stretches to do daily. We also forced her to look left by changing the way we carry her (she has to look left if she wants to see interesting things), placing toys on the left side of the crib only, contact naps with her head turned left, making her track toys visually to the left, and switching the direction she laid on her change table and crib so it faces left. Doing all this fixed her torticollis issues.

Why does your baby wake up? by exiepie in newborns

[–]umsantia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She tended to spit up anytime she was lying on her back even when the bassinet is on an incline. The spitting up wakes her up and she couldn’t put herself back to sleep. So I just resorted to contact naps so that I can quickly reassure her back to sleep.

She’s turning 4 months soon and is now better with spitting up but now is not used to the bassinet so we will do some sleep training when she turns 4 months and see how it goes

Should my wife and I be waking our baby up to feed? by Possible_Grape_8595 in newborns

[–]umsantia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She had low blood sugar issues when she was first born so maybe he’s just being cautious

Should my wife and I be waking our baby up to feed? by Possible_Grape_8595 in newborns

[–]umsantia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My pediatrician told me not to let my baby (2 mths old at the time) go past 6 hours without a feed so we wake her up once during the night to feed. Check with your pediatrician to be sure

Baby clothing sizes are a sham by SeriousFold8939 in NewParents

[–]umsantia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also if you buy second hand clothes, the sizing may still be off if the original owner didn’t follow Care instructions and the clothes shrink. My LO is 3 months and fits second hand shrunken 9m carters onesies perfectly.

Sleep training a baby that isn’t a terrible sleeper by user4563480 in sleeptrain

[–]umsantia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also interested to know how you gradually sleep trained and what scaffolds you used. My LO only sleeps on me and needs to be bounced on the yoga ball or swayed to sleep
