This happens to Isaac if it's spicy food. Was it a spicy hummus? We usually do plain.
No, it was plain. I'm reading online and others who've experienced it think it could be the acud from the lemon juice or garlic. Some say tahini. Obviously nothing concrete. I really hope it's not the chickpeas since they're legumes and related to peanuts.

LO gets that with acidic food, like some fruits or things like tomato or pickles if he gets them on his face too much.
hashtagrainbow - I only ask because it is a hard one. You might sit down and pencil a few things out when you are ready. I don't mean to alarm you, this is just a particular tricky issue for some parents. It would probably be worth your time to visit with an attorney to give you some ideas about setting up your parenting schedule. ((Hugs)) I know this is really hard.
I know we'll have to mod our custody agreement and I'm hoping we can do so reasonably between the two of us and without an attorney.

Got a bra this afternoon. Paid way more than I normally would have, but it's the best fitting bra I've ever had, and having kids has left me with an unusual size. I got $15 off because they were having a bra exchange. That much off a new bra if you donated one of yours. The donated bras go to an area women's shelter/center.

You continue giving him those foods though, right?

Yup, it didn't bother him, and didn't last long. We took a picture to show the pedi but at that point had figured out the pattern and they didn't seem concerned. He also has super sensitive skin in general so it doesn't take much to irritate it. If we notice him getting it on his face excessively (like wiping it around, which for whatever reason he likes to do) we'll stop him.

hashtagrainbow big hugs. ..it's such a difficult position and I hope you guys can work everything out amicably between just the two of you
I've been lurking most of the day. ..hanging out with lo after being gone all day yesterday. Dh has been a huge help with lo. He even started giving lo breastmilk in her sippy. Today she drank a full 5 ounces! I am hoping this will make weaning easier. ..

hashtagrainbow we just set out a couple of ounces in a sippy and she just tried it. She drinks water from a sippy really well so I think that helped. If she didn't figure it out we would have just kept leaving it out for her to "play". Ďh also fed it to her like a bottle a little bit today.
TTM about the BRU trade-in. I have a seat to trade in that is expired (from nephew). Do they give a coupon for the 25%? Does it have to be used the same day, or can I use the 25% off another day?
So i'm like 99% sure that: the seat can be expired and still get the trade in coupon (25% off) and that you have to use it that same day. Maybe call BRU to make sure?

So, I don't know if this will help anyone, but figured I'd mention it. I'd said before that LO would readily take water from a sippy, but not milk for more than a few sips, maybe an ounce- we'd tried many sippis and straw cups with no luck. We have a pretty regular routine at home, so he also would always want a bottle at the same times. Well, when we were at my parents' for the weekend, I figured it'd be a good time to switch things up (plus he took a sippy from them initially before he'd take one from DH & I). And... it worked! We started offering a sippy during his meals, and in between if he seemed hungry we gave him an actual snack. Since his routine was different anyway he wasn't as primed for a bottle at specific times. It's been I think 4 or 5 days now since he's had a bottle other than at bedtime!
Guise, just woke up from a post party nap. (thanks DH), what woke me up was hearing him say, "I don't know. I've got no idea how to handle this situation." Cue wake up panic from me. Turns out LO had just pooped and it oozed out the back of his diaper.
I was like, God, f14 has a nickname for that...how has he not done that yet? oh yeah, me.

@thatgolfbitch I'm dying over here wanting to know about the naan pizza! We looooooove Indian food and naan. If it's good I'll have to go to TJ tomorrow and get some.

innanni That's sweet of you to ask! She said last night was a little better, and she's trying the merlin sleep suit tonight since he busts out of swaddles now. I told her tonight I had some friends that could talk to her if she needed someone that has btdt, and to let me know if she was interested.

hashtagrainbow hugs momma. You're in a really tough to spot, but you're so strong, you'll make it out alive. We're here for you!!
megash113 sorry about your stink eye, meds help quick!
Re: American Sniper- saw it tonight with DH. It was an incredibly powerful movie & I've never seen a theater so silent upon exiting. Bradley Cooper was amazing in it (and hawt). It makes me want to hug a veteran & highlights the challenges returning military have balancing daily life. My cousin was in Iraq at the same time as him, and I couldn't stop thinking about that the whole time. It's incredibly possible that my cousin is still here because of that man. The end of his story is so tragic. But overall I'd recommend the movie without hesitation. Bring kleenex, it's very moving.

my niece asked me to to take her bf home but where he lives is like a 20min drive and in the ghetto. i hate driving there during the day let alone at night. so i told her i had a few glasses of wine at dinner so i couldn't take him. well now she's texting me and desperate that he's going to get in trouble (they're 16) and not be able to see her next weekend blah blah. i don't feel bad bc he should've had a ride to and from if they were going on a date and this isn't the first time this has happened. but i also feel bad bc my niece doesn't have anyone to call bc my sister is unreliable and off in her own world where her children come second, and her dad passed away. i try and help her as much as i can because she's a good kid and so is her bf.
i still can't take them even though I'm sober bc i already told her i had been drinking and i don't want her to think that ill drive tipsy, or that its okay to drive tipsy. i feel bad. and mad at her for putting me in this situation. I'm going to have a talk with her tomorrow about it.
carissalynp Having been there I know how awful it really is, and it feels like no one else understands.
Just keep reminding her that this is/can be normal for some babies. I was embarrassed about it, felt I was a bad mother. I hardly spoke about it to anyone, and that made PPD worse. I remember finally talking about it to a coworker, and she just didn't get it. She asked if I'd tried singing to him or rocking him. Ha! We'd driven around aimlessly for hours because the car soothed him, once I figured out the shower soothed him (all those showerless days in vain!) I would stand in there till all the hot water was gone, sometimes 4 times a day. He took naps in the shower in my arms.
Also, it took me a while to realize this, but if he is clean, fed, and otherwise ok; it doesn't make much difference if he is crying in her arms or in the crib. It is ok to put him down for a few minutes to take a shower, or get a sandwich. He was always just so distressed, it would put me into panic mode.
Also, tell her to just keep trying things and follow her gut. We were on our 5th pedi and fourth formula before he seemed to improve, also white noise machine eventually got him sleeping somewhere other than in my arms. He might just have grown out of it because he was nearly four months, but switching to soy formula seemed to make a big difference.

iwubrory LO is a week from a year. I have been having small amounts of dairy for a few months without any problems. She has had a few small amounts. She ate some of DD1's cheese and she also had another baby's formula bottle by accident (apparently she stole it from another kid and quickly chugged it down). She spits up some when she has dairy, but nothing major. I am feeling really good about our progress and don't expect any long term issues. I am still not intentionally giving it to her, but I am not stressing about it either.

Charlys Mom aka NBeaut can you suggest Uber to them? I am not sure if they have it out your way but it is relatively inexpensive. Actually you may have to have a credit card to have an uber account, which a 16 year old may not have...
Hmm that's actually a good idea. I have some uber credit maybe I'll see if I can pay for it and have them picked up. Thanks for the idea!
Charlys Mom aka NBeaut This isn't really addressing your problem but I think when you talk to her you should stress how horrible drinking and driving is. I get that she's a 16 year old and thinks as such but she doesn't know you lied yet wants you to drive anyway. Nothing is important enough to risk the lives of others. I never missed an opportunity to tell my much younger sister about the dangers of it and I don't think others should either.
