Baby has no teeth.
I air fried some carrot and sweet potato sticks yesterday. Baby loved it, but today they had a lot of small, bit sized chunks of undigested orange stuff in their poo.
This doesnt usually happen when we have the same foods boiled and mashed.
Should we hold back on food sticks?
We've just started EC at 5m and while bub is very good at it and prefers it to going in their nappy (doesnt like being dirty) I can see its extra work for me.
What does the transition from EC to potty training look like?
Overall, I'm asking so I can kinda plan how intense our EC is and transition.
I assume there is an extra skill involved in having bub tell you they want to potty? Or should I be figuring out how to teach bub sign language and starting now?
I see a lot of posts slamming men for not spending enough time with kids.
Curious to hear how much time the average non-primary career spends with baby, how much family time you get, and how much time 'off' each partner gets.
We've been doing a bit ic EC for about a week and my 5m old loves it.
But I find myself not looking forward to sitting on the bathroom floor with her, reaching in different directions to empty the potty and throw the wipes away, then struggle to put her cloth nappy back on her in my lap, which I never do properly from that angle.
Are there some organisational tricks people are using?
Looking to move to a floorbed in bubs room, but we dont have a lot of cash to put towards it.
Can i buy a cheap japenese floor bed or something from temple and webster online without actually feeling the mattress before delivery? What should I look for?
We've been through several cots so far (with minimal use) so I dont want to spend much on this.
I live in Australia.
Bub had a very small, very minor rash for 20 minutes, half an hour after having peanuts, twice. There were no other symptoms.
The gp recomends exposure therapy, because its a minor reaction. Keep having peanuts weekly and take telfast if there are symptoms.
Does this advice sound right?
They did not suggest any tests.
It feels like we're coming into a new chapter and new chalanges.
Everything from being hyper curious about 'whats on the other side of the nappy change mat?' And having less independant play time, because we want to do sitting all the time, but will fall over if unsupervised.
I'm accepting that I need to do a bunch of food prep, cut down on cooking/chores time, and get bub out of the house for more activities to improve sleep. Any other tips?
What helped you get through this period?
We had some very mild non-blanching redness under one eye after eating peanuts for about 20 min.
We've booked to see the gp, but just curious what the path can look like to investigate? Are there some tests? Can anyone share their experience please?
Dad and I dont have allergies but both have super sensitive skin in different ways, so fingers crossed its just a contact rash.
Looking for some brands/types of nut spreads and any tips.
Today we started dairy and bub didnt enjoy a tiny bit of greek yogurt mixed with breast milk and porridge.
Is it like -
Scm
O
Sternal head - sternum manubrium
Clavicular head - medial clav
I
Mastoid process of the temporal bone and superior nuchal line
A
Contralateral rotation, ipsilat lat flex, and flex
Or a more simple version?
Or learned in a different way?
I'm from Australia and this is how we did it, but I know other modalities learn it a bit differently.
My 5 month old baby LOVES playing piano.
Yup, she pretty much just bash keys, but she seems to get a bit of a sense for the sound.
I used to play when I was a kid, so can read music, but am rusty.
Looking for some ideas on how we can play together.
Anything from me playing chords that kinda match the notes shes playing, or some style/songs that we/I can try. Maybe there are perticular chords or scales I could practice while she's hitting her notes.
Shes super young, but its a nice way we can have fun together :)
I read that from 6-8m bub can start having seperation anxiety from their main parent... and I think we're there now.
For the past few days bub gets upset when they're with dad about 40% of the time - any time that they aren't 100% happy baby, they'll scream and cry until mum holds them.
Its the big kind of screamimg.
We're doing less independant time as well, and more 'climbing on mum while Mum sits on the couch' or 'Mum sits with baby on the floor for tummy time/exercise time'.
We co-sleep almost all naps and bedtime, so I do a lot of bubs regulation.
Any tips?
Dad was taking baby for a 1 hour walk each day to give me a break, but hasn't been in a few days due to crying.
