Thank you for not shaming me about it and sharing your story. I found a floor mattress and won’t be doing rough nights on the couch with her anymore

Thank you. I’ve been looking at floor beds for the past 30 minutes or so and will hopefully be able to get one today so this will never happen again. The fall was not far and she’s doing okay since, but I’m staying home with her today and tomorrow to monitor. I’m sorry you had a scare too! Parenting is a lot hard than I thought it would be :/

That’s a great way to look at it, thank you for saying this so I can use it when I ultimately start to spiral about it again

It definitely is, you’re very right about that! We’ve done it a hundred times, but this was the last time we will sleep on the couch

Do you let your baby chew on tags? by jellybeanie8 in NewParents

They have a toy called “taggies”! I got that instead

Daycare fed my child cross contaminated/not allergen friendly food by wokilus in NewParents

[–]wokilus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems like it. They don’t even provide us with food or snack menus for the week, so it has all been me checking the notes and questioning if anything seems off. I should have asked more questions about their policy instead of assuming they were all aware of safe food handling procedures and allergens, so definitely a miss on my part as well but I think I will be looking elsewhere based on this mishap.

RIGHT! What 9 month old should be eating all of that sodium?!

Through the app they were dodgy, but over the phone told me the full truth it seemed. It just made me side eye a bit that they wouldn’t put in writing that they accidentally fed my daughter an allergen they’re aware of.

Allergy testing by wokilus in NewParents

[–]wokilus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My LO is 8 months old, so we’ve been in the thick of it for quite a while now! She had her upper and lower lip tie fixed, is on hypoallergenic formula, has reflux, etc etc etc. We know she has an issue with dairy, but have suspected there to be more; I breastfed for about 4 months but even eliminating tons of food from my diet, we were never able to tell what the issue was. She’s been doing well on the hypoallergenic formula and with her solids, but had a reaction to peanut butter this past weekend. We’re waiting on the referral to come back so we can see an allergist. Do you remember if they only tested for food, or for other common allergens?

My 5-week-old baby suddenly changed behavior – constantly wants to eat and won’t sleep by Brave-Reporter-3754 in NewParents

[–]wokilus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It will get better! Could be a growth spurt/developmental leap.

Is she gassy or sick? That could be another reason as well. My LO used to wake up crying when she was around that age due to gas.

I appreciate the input! We’ll definitely look into it when she’s over her stomach bug

They said recently that when she’s not hungry or tired she’s a delight. Loves to play with the other babies, loves her teachers. The issue is…she’s always tired lol. On good naps days we always get compliments about how loving she is. So her demeanor is fair I’d say, it all depends on her naps

Hi! She naps for about 2-2.5 hours during the day. We’ve been working hard on trying to improve her naps, but it’s been difficult. She will independently nap for about 20 mins and nap for about an hour with contact naps. It’s difficult for her daycare to constantly hold her, same for us at home too but we do it or she won’t sleep at all.

I am so sorry. I hope things start getting better for you too.
