My husband and I have gotten into the habit of making pizzas for dinner every Friday! Please share your favorite vegetarian pizza combos. So far, we make on rotation:
-caprese pizza
-dill pickle ranch pizza
-spinach feta (Domino’s copycat)
-bbq tofu with pineapple, red onion, and poblano
Bonus points if you have advice for a second child and how to put your baby down while you’re watching your first child. Extra bonus points if you have advice for 2 under 2! My baby is currently 5 months, and he takes all his naps in the carrier
I have a 4 month old and a 21 month old. Last night my toddler slept great, but my 4 month old rolled around and fussed and kicked unless he was literally in my arms ALL NIGHT LONG. He didn’t fully settle until 2am, then I finally fell asleep around 4am, and they both woke up around 6am 🫠
Please tell me it gets better! This sleep regression is turning my brain into soup
Although I have blackout curtains in the bedroom, my babies (21mo, 4mo) have been waking up between 5 and 6am when they previously slept until 7. Is this common?
Has anyone had experience with a baby that just won’t nap during the day? This is my second baby, and he couldn’t be more different than my first. He has such a hard time going down for naps, and his pediatrician’s suggested wake windows are rarely followed.
He rarely feeds to sleep (breastfed), he won’t nap in the car seat or stroller, he won’t fall asleep in the baby swing (I know it’s not safe anyways), and he won’t let me rock him in the rocking chair. He wants to be walked around and bounced.
I don’t even mind a contact nap, but I also have a 20 month old who is active and loud. The noise will often prevent the baby from falling asleep/staying asleep and I just don’t know what to do anymore.
Today during my toddlers nap, my baby refused to go down. I tried feeding him, burping him, bouncing and rocking him, bringing him into a dark room with a sound machine, and cycling through all of the above. He eventually got so exhausted that he passed out on me. I feel so awful about it. I literally called my husband and asked him to come home from work early before he passed out because I didn’t know what else to do.
The thing is- he doesn’t seem upset by it. He’s not crying of fussing, he’s just quietly looking around. I know he SHOULDN’T be awake for that long, and this long stretch has never happened before. The longest he’s gone without napping before is 2.5 hours.
Any words of advice? TIA!
I have a theory, and I’m sure I’m about to be shut down! I think that babies close in age tend to look a lot alike. My two babies are the 17 months apart, and they’re nearly identical. I’m wondering if it has something to do with the age of the eggs/egg quality. I also had a coworker who did IVF and received multiple eggs at once, but had her babies years apart. They also look identical!
Do your babies look alike/what’s their age gap?
