My son has super wide feet and can never wear cute shoes. DD seems to have normal feet and I'm really hoping she will fit into tiny toms. Lusting after them on zulily.
Dh took ds 1 to play with a friend and ds 2 napped long enough for me to rest, go potty, eat a Tina's burrito, organize clothing by size and start organizing for my taxes. I also discovered the pretzel sticks dh bought, Nom!
FMIL just informed me today that she has already given LO cereal. He just turned six weeks old yesterday!!! Not only does it irritate me that she would do it without asking, but she's raised her kids and has gone through all the firsts with them... Now I'm going to miss out on this one with my LO. Am I wrong in feeling that way? I didn't say anything but it took all I had not to cry.

I would be livid. We will give cereal at 5 or 6 months.

I am sorry I would not be ok with this. I would maybe have your SO talk to her if you don't want to do that. It is your baby and you should be the one to decide what they eat.

elleno95, I would be furious! Although I do think that it's a generational thing. When DD1 was born, I had to spend a lot of time educating my parents and in-laws about the current recommendations for feeding, safety, etc.
Hopefully she didn't do it maliciously and will be responsive when you or your SO tell her that cereal is no longer recommended prior to four months. You could even send her a link to a page that explains this and the reasoning behind it. of course, how you approach it depends on your relationship with her. I still feel like I'm the no fun police sometimes around my in-laws, but they've gotten used to it for the most part and are pretty respectful of my wishes.

Ever since yesterday at noon, LO had been fussy, won't let me put her down, and is fighting napping during the day. I put her on the breast and she seems content for the most part, sometimes she cries then too. Is this what a growth spurt is like, even at 1 month old? ILs are flying in today and I'd hate for her to be fussy the whole time they are here.
My LO is one month also and I am dealing with the same exact thing. I'm so tired
She had already talked FI into putting a spoonful in his milk at night and I had to fight with him about that for days. Times like that makes me thankful that I barely leave my baby's side. But it was a night I went to the er (anxiety attacks on steroids) and she watched LO for us. Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful for the help! Just never dreamed she would do such a thing without asking. I'm going to talk to FI, and we will have to talk to her together. She feels like if we disagree with her then it hurts her feelings and she thinks we no longer want anything to do with her, so I feel like he will know how to approach the situation better.

My toddler knew I was trapped under a fussy baby I finally got to sleep so she put globs of lotion all over her hands and made "pretty handprints" all over the window. Sweet.

She wouldn't be alone around my kids again for a good long while. That's a completely shitty thing to do.
ETA: I should say it's shitty if she knew you weren't going to introduce solids until much later. If it was an innocent mistake, I'd try to be more patient, but I'd still be angry.

My lo too! He's going on 12 wks tho. And isn't feeding every hour just is not napping, wants to be held. He's been up since 9:30 and napped a total of an hr. He's drooling tons makes me wonder if teething could be around the corner. Would not be ready for that. And actually kind of scared to bf with a baby that has teeth. :eek:

H decided without telling me in advance that he was going to go to a basketball game tonight with his dad. It would've been nice to know ahead of time considering LO has been extra fussy between 6:30 and 9:30 and it's nice to have the extra help during those hours. It's not that I don't want him doing things, but I'd like to mentally prepare myself if I have to face the witching hours alone.
So I try to explain this to him calmly and he just acts really shitty and slams the door on his way out. Nice example, asshole.

Me too! He got better as the day wore on but this morning was miserable.
