I figured it was the tahini and the dr concurs so we'll just assume she's allergic to sesame for now and hold off on allergy testing until she's a bit older. I know I can deal with her having food allergies, my little brother has terrible ones, I find the hardest is the uncertainty and trying to figure stuff out when I'm still nursing so I find it hard to figure out what it could be. Thankfully this time it was quite clear!<br /> @dahlia: ugh I was right there with you! I am back on everything but dairy and actually now that we know about the sesame thing I am hopeful that she might tolerate me having it at least and hopefully her as well. That is great that you've been able to add most everything back in already, I think that is a great sign that your LO will outgrow it all. I know what you mean about being scared to try new things, and I find it's SO hard when you're looking for a reaction to not assume anything could be one (poor night sleep, my LO gets red cheeks, etc.). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-parenting-worries-right-now/page/2#post-2526051 Fri, 15 Apr 2016 12:26:34 +0000 Charm54 2526051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dd1 - she wants to do EVERYTHING HERSELF and sometimes it takes soo long/she stalls or acts defiant...the process of going anywhere (getting dressed, getting in the car seat, etc.) is such.a.battle.</p> <p>Dd2 - trying to get a quicker apt with the ENT to get her lip and tongue ties taken care of. It's really interfering with her ability to take solids </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-parenting-worries-right-now#post-2526049 Fri, 15 Apr 2016 12:24:53 +0000 CakeLady 2526049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is almost 2. I am a worrier by nature but a few things seem to be rising to the top these days. Transitioning him to a new preschool/daycare in June, figuring out how to get rid of the pacifier, and because I have a lot of guilt about WOH I am terrible at setting boundaries and saying no - I really don't want to raise a spoiled kid who doesn't listen or won't accept a no. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-parenting-worries-right-now#post-2526048 Fri, 15 Apr 2016 12:24:39 +0000 MamaG 2526048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: Does the school offer an aftercare program? Our district does until 6:00 and also with care for early dismissal days. It's relatively inexpensive (cheaper than our daycare) and LO has a great time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-parenting-worries-right-now#post-2526047 Fri, 15 Apr 2016 12:24:27 +0000 Dahlia 2526047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@petitenoisette: Same here. I had to eliminate milk, soy, eggs, wheat, corn, peas, peanuts, and nuts while BF. She's still nursing at 9 months but in the last month I have been able to add most of those foods back into my diet. She eats lots of fruits and vegetables, plus quinoa and oatmeal, but I'm afraid to try a lot of other things. We don't have a family history of food allergies, so I'm hoping they're just intolerances and she has or will grow out of them. But it's so scary! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-parenting-worries-right-now#post-2526046 Fri, 15 Apr 2016 12:20:29 +0000 MamaCate 2526046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD (age 4)--working on managing big feelings, mostly mad ones, getting through recent nighttime potty regression, planning ahead for kinder next summer </p> <p>DS (9 months)-no big worries!

But it's a brand spanking new magnet school so it's got kids from surrounding towns. Go big or go home, I guess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-parenting-worries-right-now#post-2525907 Fri, 15 Apr 2016 10:04:21 +0000 psw27 2525907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just making sure LO grows up to be sweet and kind. He's 20 months and has been a little aggressively lately, which I know is normal and he says "uh oh" immediately after so he knows it isn't nice... I just want him to be a nice kid at school, but a bully. :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-parenting-worries-right-now#post-2525876 Fri, 15 Apr 2016 09:41:44 +0000 Happygal 2525876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In the immediate--my daughter will go for her 15 month checkup and get more vaccinations. She's learned our doctor gives her shots and cries at the sight of him. It's stressful.</p> <p>Down the road--lining up childcare for her when baby #2 arrives and figuring out what to do when she leaves daycare. She loves her little daycare family and I want her to continue learning things and getting regular socialization. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-parenting-worries-right-now#post-2525870 Fri, 15 Apr 2016 09:38:28 +0000 regberadaisy 2525870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: does your daycare offer aftercare? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-parenting-worries-right-now#post-2525863 Fri, 15 Apr 2016 09:34:13 +0000 lamariniere 2525863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: there are supposed to be 6 classes.

It stinks, but its probably not a sign that she'll have lots of allergies! My LOs have both had tons of intolerances as babies requiring me to eliminate dairy, soy, wheat, eggs, fish and nuts while nursing. My 3 year old outgrew them all and had allergy testing when she was 18 months that showed just a very mild pecan allergy. I'm hoping my 5 month old follows suit! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-parenting-worries-right-now#post-2525844 Fri, 15 Apr 2016 09:20:20 +0000 Mamaof2 2525844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lamariniere: @looch: wow 120 kids???

LO was (is) MSPI and now last night had an allergic reaction to hummus. She has been super slow to start solids, still really doesn't eat much and it's been really hard to figure out what she can and cannot eat. Heading to the Dr. in a few and hoping we can get referred to an allergist now that she is past one because I feel like we need help. :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-parenting-worries-right-now#post-2525619 Fri, 15 Apr 2016 06:27:01 +0000 looch 2525619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lamariniere: Haha, we're living parallel lives...my son is also going into a school where they've enrolled 120 kindergarteners.</p> <p>I am worried because it's going to be a commute and a longer day than we're doing now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-parenting-worries-right-now#post-2525608 Fri, 15 Apr 2016 06:06:02 +0000 lamariniere 2525608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: I totally think you could hire a trustworthy teenage girl to do aftercare for your DD once she's in kindergarten!</p> <p>@Foodnerd81: ugh, yes. The tantrums and defiant behavior. That is our #1 biggest issue with DD. Potty training her was a breeze in comparison! </p> <p>For DS, I'm just slightly nervous about the kindergarten transition this fall. It will be such a massive change going from his daycare class of 12 to an incoming kindergarten class of about 120. He will also be switching languages, which I'm not that worried about, but it will still be a major change. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-parenting-worries-right-now#post-2525606 Fri, 15 Apr 2016 05:59:18 +0000 ScarletBegonia 2525606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>His weight...always his weight!<br /> Other than that feeling relieved we've decided to put off TTC #2 until early next year because things are actually so so good right now with my son (just turned 2). I think we're in a golden age at the moment and I'm glad not to have the stress of TTC and potentially morning sickness and all the rest of it, so that I can just enjoy him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-parenting-worries-right-now#post-2525603 Fri, 15 Apr 2016 05:51:23 +0000 brownepiano 2525603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How DS (2 years) will treat his baby brother in a few months.

That sounds really hard, both the toddler and baby. It sounds like you're doing an amazing job of meeting your LOs needs and working to figure out how to help both of them.<br /> I hope you get some rest and that the new normal settles in soon and becomes easier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-parenting-worries-right-now#post-2525230 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 16:11:29 +0000 LindsayLou 2525230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pickle: Same worry here.</p> <p>My 7 month old is crawling, climbing all over everything, pulling up, and working towards cruising. She's still working on balance, and she has zero fear, so I worry that she's going to hurt herself. She tries to launch herself off of the couch and our laps on a daily basis. And winds up in tears several times a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-parenting-worries-right-now#post-2525176 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 15:22:17 +0000 FaithFertility 2525176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD 16 months: STTN it has become such a crap shoot lately :(</p> <p>Baby #2 Heathy!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-parenting-worries-right-now#post-2525163 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 15:12:28 +0000 MamaG 2525163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both of the kiddos, VACATION!

Second time they actually "cleaned" her teeth- scraped that little bit of build up off and brushed. She actually did great. The Usborne books "Going to the Dentist" book was really helpful. We went at just about 2.5 years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-parenting-worries-right-now#post-2525116 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 14:34:29 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2525116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: have you guys gone to the dentist yet?

I have crappy teeth prone to tartar and stuff and I'm afraid I passed that on to her (DH has never had a cavity!). And that we don't do a good enough job brushing her teeth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-parenting-worries-right-now#post-2525108 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 14:30:23 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 2525108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only thing on my mind is the transition to Kindergarten in August! Things like how DD will adjust to the transition, the short half-days and figuring out before/after school care, the dual drop-offs for the first time, etc... it's going to take some adjusting for all of us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-parenting-worries-right-now#post-2525098 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 14:24:20 +0000 Cherrybee 2525098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD1 - her adjustment to being a big sister. She's very sad, very angry, behaving appallingly (hitting, kicking, spitting, deliberately pissing on the floor, eating play doh for a reaction), keeps stamping to wake the baby then crying because the baby's cries "hurt her ears", and keeps saying she doesn't like her baby sister. We are trying so hard to give her loads of time with us, letting her feel her emotions, accepting her.... but its really tough for everyone. </p> <p>Dd2 (6 days old) - breastfeeding. Its just not working. She's narcoleptic at the breast, frustrated at latch on (freaks out, thirty attempts to latch, finally does it, three sucks, back to sleep), keeps popping off, my nipples are mangled, she screams all night (and wakes big sister)..... we have been supplementing because she is so jaundiced and now I'm getting mastitis in one breast (struggling to pump enough with a baby who won't be put down and a needy toddler). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-parenting-worries-right-now#post-2525090 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 14:18:32 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2525090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Worried because I just took my son to the dentist for the first time and the buildup I had noticed on his front teeth is early decay :(. Now I feel guilty.. the dentist said its not cause by breastfeeding, but probably genetics and carby snacks. I used to be kinda lazy about cleaning his teeth once he started fighting it, until I noticed the yellow orange buildup. Any ways guilt all around. </p>
