Bump

@IRunForFun: Yeah during tummy time, she is trying to hard to push up on her legs to roll over.

@snowjewelz: she isn't a huge fan of it. But it is getting better. I think they do do it more often at school, so that helps.

@Smurfette: @snowjewelz: I've been lazy about doing tummy time because she sleeps on her belly so I'm like...well that's a lot of tummy time!

@snowjewelz: @IRunForFun: She is close to rolling over, belly to back, (she has done it but was crying so I think that helped her rolled over) I want to see it! LO1 4 months when she rolled back to belly, but I don't think LO2 is going to do that. LO1 was really strong, planks at 5.5 months and crawling at 6.5. It was nuts.

Hi Momma's!!

Absent me again. Sleep is no good over here still. She's having a great crib nap as I type though, and I sipped warm tea in our recliner and gave DS some screen time. We walked DD to school this am and we're out for 1.5 hours, so I feel less guilty, lol.

Went to the zoo yesterday. Took a tick off my DS, bleh! B loved it, and did really well. We ditched the bucket seat and that has made car rides a zillion times better. B rolled in the van when I folded up the stroller, bit of a downward slope on van floor though, so that combined with not seeing it (left her on back after changing and found her a roll length away on her tummy, lol) I'm not counting it as first roll! Denial! Haha! She's definitely getting to get side and crunching though!

I am thinking I will list bassinet for sale and that will force her into crib. I think even if I have to sleep on mattress on floor in her room it's time to move her over. I'm debating selling my bob Duallie too now that we've ditched the bucket. I wear her lots, plus the single. My older two will ride their bikes or walk these days more than anything.

She took a bottle for the first time on Sunday! I pumped before she was due to eat and used the Spectra pump bottle and nipple and she took it no prob! Handed her to my DH after 2 oz and burps and she did another 1.5oz. I don't mind not having gotten a break yet, but there's been a few scenarios it would be so huge to have her take a bottle, so it's been on my mind.

I need to go read.....when they start rolling, bassinet done no matter what? We position her in there less and less (and swaddling less and less) but I'm not sure what's best/ideal once she's in crib! I forget! If you're using crib already, what are they wearing and/or wrapped in?

Hope everyone is doing ok!!

@sunnyday: I do that all the time too, like oh we were outside for so long, so some screen time after is totally justified, lol! I'm totally considering switching her to a convertible earlier too; it's not like she sleeps in the car anyway! I think they're about to grow out out bassinet rolling or not right? I think when they roll it's a no b/c the sides can be suffocating?

@snowjewelz: my bassinet is longer than the others I've had (borrowed two different ones for first two!) and even with how long she is, we still have length, but yes on the sides! I have moments I'm so ready to move her, but others i just don't want the bassinet time to be done

@IRunForFun: You put her on belly or is she rolling? Once my other two rolled, they were belly (and bum in the air, lol) sleepers. So cute, I haven't tried her on her belly, wonder how she's like it!

@IRunForFun: whatever works!!! 🤓

@babypugs: how's LO doing at day care? Any better luck with bottles?

I tried no swaddle last night and she couldn't sleep, even if I held her! Passed out as soon as her arms up love to dream swaddle is back on. I guess we're keeping it on!

@snowjewelz: maybe the zipadee one would be a good transition

@snowjewelz: Yeah we have a while too, but I am not doing the swaddle as tight. Hopefully a little loser each week and we can get her in a sleep sack by the time she is rolling. A friend gave me a MMS but it is huge on her since it is the 3-6M size.

@Smurfette: They're rinsing it out and putting the milk back in it. Definitely not an ideal situation! One that note, anyone know where I can get First Essentials bottles with a slow flow latex nipple?

@Smurfette: Hmm, might be a little fast for her but whatever, I'm willing to give it a shot at that price! Thanks so much!

ETA Yeah her teachers have been awesome. Super patient!

@IRunForFun: Woot!! was she in the crib too?

@IRunForFun: You have the best sleeper of all of us now!

@IRunForFun: That's amazing, definitely a better sleeper than mine!

@babypugs: I seriously don't know how I can parent without Amazon Prime!

@babypugs: I checked Amazon too, but apparently Giant Eagle supermarket has the slow flow latex ones?? Haha we don't have those here but maybe depending where you live check your supermarket?

@Smurfette: She was in the crib from 8:30 to 4:30 and then in bed with me after that. I would have put her back in the crib but DH gets up at 5 (he sleeps in the guest room right now) and I didn't want his clomping around getting ready to wake her. (Bathroom is right across from the nursery.)

@IRunForFun: @Smurfette: So jealous! And I have the "oldest" one too! But she's still a "better" sleeper than DD1 so whatever, lol.
