Anyone else's LO hate the car seat? I hate listening to him scream in the car, but is that just something I need to put up with or do you all have some handy tips for making it better? He pretty much screams like he's dying unless I'm within eyesight at all times. It's making me nervous for when I go back to work and he's at the babysitter's.

nomnomasaur0426, I think we are in the same boat. Brady has been extremely fussy for days now (he is 3 weeks), so I think I have to give up caffeine and dairy as well. I have had caffeine and ice cream every day for the last few days and he has been a pain in my arse. I guess I can handle giving those up if he calms down.
My MIL and grandmotherIL are flying in tomorrow morning, so hopefully I can get some sleep while they ooh and aah over the baby. The only problem is my house looks like hell because I haven't been able to do anything because the baby is so fussy.

DD hates it too. It sucks so bad and i have no advice. DS didn't mind it at all when he was a baby. He would fall asleep fast and stay that way. It takes all together to long for this one to fall asleep though. Just a little commiserating...

Well I can fit my fingers in between him and the straps. It's snug but not tight by any means. He usually falls asleep but only if I'm in the back seat holding the binky in his mouth. And he usually has a death grip on my fingers the whole time. It's heartbreaking how stressed out he gets.
mrszee DS often doesn't burp for MOTN feedings, but I put a cloth diaper under him/me before we started. You could do the same with a towel. He spit up a little after he fell asleep; I just cleaned him up and shifted the burp cloth so he wasn't lying in it.
mrszee, we do this also. I fold the cloth up in a triangle and stuff both sides under the matress to keep it tucked away from DSs mouth. works magic and saves a looooot of washing

**nostalgia, stuck i the box!**
our guy hates his too, I think because it's too upright so it hurts his tummy a bit. Which car seat do you have? We have the nuna pipa.

@nolagal Internet hugs. Hopefully your chat with the pedi later will help you with a plan for moving forward. Glad your LO is gaining (even if not as much as you'd like) and your doc isn't worried.
Eta: @crazycornball which tags you? On tapatalk you only show up as nolagal so sometimes I forget.
Edit2: weird. On tapatalk I type @ nolagal but in mobile web view it switches to CCB. Guess proboards compensates for this situation automatically! Ignore my edits!

mamabutt2 Mine hates the car seat too. I usually tuck a blanket around him. Just on top but tucked in after he's buckled up and tightened. He seems to feel more swaddled and comfy.

My first hated the car, she'd scream the whole ride. We always felt horrible. It didn't get better until she was a lot older and became forward facings. So hang in there
This kid has an entirely different personality which is fascinating but a curve ball at times.
So I took LO in to weighed. She has only gained 7oz in 3 weeks. This is on the very very low end of normal. The doc said she would call me later to talk about my concerns but wasn't overly worried about it. I think DD is just a lazy eater. I wish she would call me back so we can discuss if I need to supplement.
I really don't want to move to exclusive pumping because I hate pumping. I'm so torn.
I'm glad the doctor didn't seem too concerned but hoping she calls back soon. Pumping sucks and I hate it too so fingers crossed you get the answers you need. I also think it's awesome you went with your gut and took her in to be weighed!
Alexander met his great great grandmother today and we took pictures of all 5 generations. I love that he'll look at them one day and I'll get to tell him all of my memories growing up with her
Tomorrow mom and I are going to get the furniture for his nursery. You know something we should have finished months ago.
Well it looks like there will be no trip to Florida for me. I wanted to visit my parents (canadian snowbirds) next month but I can't get a passport for LO due to a birth certificate error. We jumped through all kinds of hoops to get it amended only to have it all sent back to redo. Thanks for nothing service ontario.

I went by target today to get some disposable breast pads and on a whim walked by the clearance lingerie. I found 2 of the nighttime nursing bras that I love for $5 each!

That sucks ass sorry to hear it. I walked around with the wrong year on my birth certificate until I turned 18. Noone ever noticed! What is the error? Who knows maybe the passport agency won't notice?

Win! I always check target clearance section. I have found several ($20-$25) nursing tanks for $5-$10. It's rare (for me) but when it happens its a great deal!
Well I appear to have a colicky baby (DS is six weeks) last three nights have been torturous. At least Monday night when he finally settled and fell asleep he slept for nearly seven hours. But now we are up almost every hour and a half wanting to eat after a two to three hour scream fest. So I will be cutting out dairy and caffeine (this is just cruel...) from my diet. I hope it helps and I hope this is short-lived.
Got my scan and the lump is just an over active duct very close to the surface. So pretty much the best news ever! Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers!

DS has a bad diaper rash so I was airing him out after his bath tonight. While he was laying on me he spit up, peed, and pooped...on me. Sigh. Thanks, kid!
ETA: To be fair, he pooped on the towel that was on me. But I definitely got drenched with pee.

Did you try gas drops?
We just started using them. They seem to be helping him pass more gas, but he's still really fussy between 10:30-12:30. He's snuggled up snoozing right now so praying he sleeps tonight!

Haha I debated that! DH's first name and last name are switched. I feel like even the stupidest public servant would catch that. (As a public servant I can attest to the general level of stupidity lol)
