@AngelicOne: Aww that's great! And he is growing lots!! I guess this is not as traumatizing as the 2 mo shots!
-
@Trufflehunter: Just cause with bottles then you actually know how much milk she drank. Before I introduced bottles I really could only go by wet diapers & weight gain too. Now that I work again, during the day I know exactly how much she is drinking. But her weight gain has been slowing a little bit too
-
@snowjewelz: She sttn.......lol
-
@AngelicOne: great check up
-
@FaithFertility: that's great! I had to shove a paci in around 2am but she didn't nurse till like 5:30 which was a first!
-
@snowjewelz: awesome!!!!
-
Going to get my hair done........YAY! But left DH with a bottle to give her since I'll be gone for a few....pray pray pray it is not a war and she takes it!!!!!!!!!
-
@FaithFertility: Me too! Enjoy your "me time"!
-
H finally slept a 4 hr stretch again last night!! I know it's silly since everyone else's babes are sleeping so well, but hot damn, I felt like I won the lottery. Too bad I couldn't fall asleep afterwards. oh well. Hopefully this continues!
-
@theotherstark: K doesn't sleep that great! I know you had been barely getting 3 hr stretches so yay! But I know it sucks when you can't sleep! Hopefully that means he's out of the 4 mo regression before he's even 4 mos!
-
@snowjewelz: the last few days he'd been up every hr, maybe 2 if lucky. So 4 feels luxurious
-
@snowjewelz: and I'm hoping that was the extent of the regression!! Although I'm not holding my breath. Haha.
-
@theotherstark: Seriously , I learn to just not expect anything and it's def been easier! She has a good night, great. If not, I consider it "normal". I don't even know if she had/is having/will have regression b/c her sleep isn't great anyway! Not so much MOTN but the doing down parts lasts from 7pm up till 10pm!
-
@theotherstark: Ohhh that is great,it is crazy what makes for good sleep these days
-
@Trufflehunter: I like doing weighted feeds because you can confirm how much your little one is transferring and make sure they are eating enough.
@FaithFertility: Yay! Enjoy your haircut!!
-
Hair cut felt great
but bottle was a fail and DH is getting over it 
I have nursed her to sleep all day today..... schedule is way off... but secretly I love it...... she is just so sweet and soft
-
@AngelicOne: Glad M had a good appointment!
@snowjewelz: I'm jealous you can use a paci! I tried the other night but didn't work (and even if it did I'd have to hold it in for him till he fell back asleep!)
@theotherstark: Yay for a four hour stretch! E is consistently doing a 4-hr "long" stretch first, then 3, but wakes up after an hour and I let him sleep in bed, he goes right back to sleep with some cuddles.
@FaithFertility: Aww, sucks she is so bad with a bottle. Poor DH! I actually suggested a bottle to DH last night for Ethan when he was fussy before bed(since it seems to be working for @Winniebee!) and then when he said ok, I couldn't do it, lol. I love that time too much!
-
@josina: UGHH see I do too
-
Is anyone else dealing with cradle cap? Ethan's had it for 3 months but its gotten pretty bad lately. He gets a bath every-other night and I usually rub on olive oil 15 min. prior, then use a cradle-cap shampoo, then regular shampoo, all with the scrub brush. That was working pretty well, but this week not so much, I think its starting to bother him. I plan on getting some baby oil tonight (instead of using olive); any other suggestions? Should I wash every night instead of every-other?
I don't think the cradle-cap shampoo is really doing anything. -
@KayKay: how was the zipadeezip?
-
I can't keep up.. :). Just got back from 4 month appointment . She's doing great! She had a major growth spurt and moved up to 50% in length. She certainly didn't get that from me. We have been doing one afternoon nap in zipadeezip and it's our best nap by far, 2+ hours. Busy here, one of the dads from our playgroup had a heart attack after running marathon last week, so I'm making and bringing them dinner today. It's so crazy, he is in great shape athletically and young. Scary..
-
@banddmommy: it's working well! i'm doing it for one nap a day right now, just to get her used to it before she starts rolling and really needs it. we call her the starfish when she's wearing it
@josina: i only give E a bath once a week or so. her dry scalp/cradle cap seems to only be bad the first day post-bath; after that, i think her natural oils keep it at bay! it's super-dry out here though, and her skin gets flaky if i bathe her much more than that.
-
@josina: I don't know how/why! She was taking one whenever she was in the car... And then suddenly one day I gave it to her for sleeping and she took it. But the annoying thing is when it comes out of her mouth she wakes up! (unless she's already asleep)
-
@josina: I heard coconut oil works well!
-
@BandDmommy: oh no
it's always terrible to hear, esp when there are young ones involved 
@KayKay: haha yes they look like a funky star fish!! And when she thrashes around it's even funnier!
-
@josina: h has it, although pretty mild. He's getting daily baths (BC he LOVES them; thanks for that bath sling rec!!), but I only wash his hair every few days. I just use Mustela shampoo, and it seems to help well.
-
@BandDmommy: glad she had such a good appt!! Sorry about your friend
-
@BandDmommy: UGHH awful sorry about your friend
-
@josina: very minor here so I just rub with washcloth during bath time
-
@josina: M has cradle cap & the pediatrician we saw said to use baby oil & a fine tooth comb 15 minutes before a bath. Then when bathing, wash his hair with Selsun Blue shampoo & use hydrocortisone 1% ointment twice a day for the itchiness. Seems to be helping & it's drastically reduced it.
-
@josina: Logan's got cradle cap bad. Xander had it bad as a baby too. I don't do anything special for it really, except sometimes I'll put Aquaphor or Hydrocortisone on him, just like I do for his eczema, because I think the dry skin itches. It'll eventually go away. I wouldn't bathe more often though - that dries out their skin.
@BandDmommy: Yay for a good appointment! But so sorry to hear about your dad friend! That's so scary!!
-
@theotherstark: Aww. Glad he loves the bath! Ethan loves baths too in the sling; he recently found his toes so he's constantly grabbing them in the bath in between splashes!
We actually missed bath night the other night - so went 3 days instead of 2 and thats when his cradle cap was the worst; and if I skip the olive-oil treatment it can get bad too. I will be picking up some baby oil for sure and some Hydrocortisone - thanks @AngelicOne: @Adira: ! I'll keep the selsun blue in mind too!
-
@josina: we use olive oil too. We really only do it every other week or so, then was it off in the bath with baby soap/shampoo. We don't actually give her baths that often, but that's because she isn't a huge if them.
-
We used baby oil and a fine comb for C at the recommendation of the pediatrician. On K, I used coconut oil and a soft bristle brush.
K seems to have forehead issues (as did C!), she rubs her forehead all the time with the back of her hand. C would use her fingernails and claw it until it bled.
-
@MamaG: funny you say that G rubs her forehead on my shirt or shoulder when I hold her or will with her hand.....just thought she was being silly, but maybe it is dry.....doesn't look dry!
-
@MamaG: @FaithFertility: Logan scratches at his forehead - he has eczema and the skin is dry. Hydrocortisone helps.
-
@AngelicOne: Glad he had a good appointment. They're all getting so big!
@theotherstark: Yay for more sleep! I hope it gets better for you soon.
@FaithFertility: Sorry that she's still having trouble with the bottle
It must have felt nice to get out by yourself!@BandDmommy: That's horrible. Glad you can help the family!
-
Just got home from work so I haven't seen either of the kids in over 24 hours
I miss them.
-
@MrsF: Ugh, that would be a hard schedule to work. I'm sorry!
-
@Adira: I shouldn't complain. I'm very lucky to be able to work part time. Everything has its pros and cons! Happy to be nursing baby J right now though. There's nothing cuddly about the pump!
