Her cry face is adorable though at least. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-change-one-thing-about-your-lo-right-now-what-would-it-be#post-200243 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 19:37:04 +0000 HLK208 200243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd LOVE to get a full night's sleep out of DD but I know that won't happen for a long time. For DS, if he could lose the attitude/listen...ahhh life would be easy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-change-one-thing-about-your-lo-right-now-what-would-it-be#post-200225 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 19:01:10 +0000 erwoo 200225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: I had the same problem with my first (he's 3 now). I thought it was b/c he was still hungry so my husband would insist that I top him off with formula. I'm not sure if that was a good idea since it took almost 3 months for my milk supply to stabilize and be enough for him.</p> <p>With our second one I decided not to top him off with formula and just let him stay at the boob a little longer for a second let down. He does sometimes cry a little bit (more like a whiny cry) and then my second let down happens and he's happy again. And if he's hungry under 2 hours I'll feed him anyway. I just see it as a growth spurt. :) I also found that my supply is lower during certain times of the day, especially if I've been running around doing errands or chores around the house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-change-one-thing-about-your-lo-right-now-what-would-it-be#post-200223 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 18:53:51 +0000 erwoo 200223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For my LO to take longer naps and fall asleep on his own w/o being rocked to sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-change-one-thing-about-your-lo-right-now-what-would-it-be#post-200207 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 17:52:15 +0000 winniebee 200207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: Ditto to the fussing at the boob.</p> <p>I wish DS would stop snarfing his milk and instead eat for more then 5 minutes.....and stop crying at the end of his feedings (still trying to figure out why...) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-change-one-thing-about-your-lo-right-now-what-would-it-be#post-200150 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 16:18:23 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 200150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>And to add into the allergy conversation, we did peanut butter right away at 6 months (little bits, not enough to gum her up and be a choking hazard) and watched carefully. They say that the first reaction is usually pretty mild but lets you know there's a problem! Our Doctor said to let them try everything as young as possible...to the horror of many people who watched her eat. But they already thought I was trying to kill her with the Baby Led Weaning so, meh? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-change-one-thing-about-your-lo-right-now-what-would-it-be#post-200149 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 16:13:18 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 200149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If Wonder Baby could be a better napper, she's killing me with wearing her all day and it's making her super tired when she doesn't get enough sleep.</p> <p>Toddler Girl...it's a little thing, but if she could just learn to talk quietly. She doesn't understand the concept of quiet at all and there is usually someone trying to fall asleep here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-change-one-thing-about-your-lo-right-now-what-would-it-be#post-200139 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 15:46:02 +0000 cyndistar3 200139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would have Caidence stop acting out and Lillian latch on better at first...

DH and I LOVE all nuts and peanut butter so I REALLY hope DS doesn't get an allergy.

Her allergies were so bad it was life or death. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-change-one-thing-about-your-lo-right-now-what-would-it-be#post-199457 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 14:05:02 +0000 Mrs. Pen 199457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well for sure sleeping better! I would be totally fine with ONE night feeding, if he slept from 8pm to 8am waking at 4am to eat - I'd be blissfully happy! </p> <p>And that our thrush would go away. It cleared up on him, but not me, so he got it again!! ugh. It's been nearly 2 weeks :( And today he was doing a bit of a nursing strike again. I hate hate hate it.</p> <p>@Andrea: oooh that is so unfortunate! I love nuts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-change-one-thing-about-your-lo-right-now-what-would-it-be#post-199454 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 14:01:22 +0000 regberadaisy 199454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Better napper but still be a good night sleeper!<br /> And stop freaking out at the boob!</p> <p>@mrs. wagon: that makes me so sad that lil wagon needs to see a sleep specialist! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-change-one-thing-about-your-lo-right-now-what-would-it-be#post-199450 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 13:59:01 +0000 chopsuey 199450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only thing I'd change is her night sleep!

Dislike! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-change-one-thing-about-your-lo-right-now-what-would-it-be#post-198904 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 08:13:55 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 198904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: Sorry to hear that! We have nut allergies too. (Cashew and pistachio) She had never even been exposed to a pistachio and she was allergic. We knew because she reacted to cashews when I just had them in the car with her... so it's pretty bad!</p> <p>Oh and what would I change? The current whining phase for sure! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-change-one-thing-about-your-lo-right-now-what-would-it-be#post-198852 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 07:24:13 +0000 Andrea 198852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: yeah, I can't believe it!
