pitdigger what are you doing for a swim diaper? I really want to bring DD into the pool, but I'm (maybe irrationally) afraid of her pooping and it leaking through the swim diaper since it is not solid yet.

I've got one from Bummis and one from Honest Company (both reusable). I haven't yet used the one from Honest Company, but I used the other one when we went down to the beach the other day and it held everything in and together, all that leaked was a bit of wetness (he pooed before we got down and I was the silly woman who didn't wait until the last second to change him into it).

He did pretty well and is out like a light.  I'm going to make up a couple bottles for the babysitter.  We won't be using his UV suit, since he was getting chilly and causing him to fuss.  He got to float on his back, float on his tummy, get water dripped on his face, and even got submerged once.  He had his usual RBF expression for quite a lot of it, and the shock of going under freaked him a little, but he seemed to have fun.

honeys I'm home! I was a bit mean and asked what was for dinner as soon as I came in, hee hee hee! needless to say the house was a bombsite of toys, blankets and bottles from the day. Evidence of LOs poosplosion on his changing table, and LO wearing a mismatching outfit with a huge pair of pants that DH had found in the closet I think Jake had quite an adventure with daddy. He fell asleep 5 minutes into cuddles and didn't wake up for almost 2 hours. Then I gave him his last bottle, changed him and he fell asleep on the changing mat. Out like a light! Im going to go put my houss back together. Im proud of DH... it's obvious he had no idea what he was doing but I've heard no complaints! I think I lost at least 2pounds laughing today!

cloe111479, Here the Huggies Little Swimmers seem to be the most popular/available. I haven't used them, but they are recommended by the instructors.

I am about to lose it with DD and her afternoon nap. Yesterday I tried for 3hrs to get her to nap in her room with no luck. I finally pocked her up and took her downstairs and she slept for 2hrs on me. Now today she woke up as soon as I layed her down again. She has been so good getting to sleep in the afternoons why has she stopped. I am not sure I can handle another 3hr unsuccessful struggle.

that sounds awful! sorry have you tried changing her clothes while she's in her crib and then having some gentle play so she gets sleepy while already in there? It took a while but that helped us with our nap time struggles. I hope this phase passes soon!

Inspired by mrsclark731's adorable HDBD pic, what's everyone's secret for tummy time? DS hates it! He's also usually not thrilled with burping either. I try not to do tummy time close after he eats, though

the lamaze ladybug tummy time playmat helped us! DS still doesnt like it but now tolerates it much longer. another thing that is helping slightly is rolling DS from his back to his side and the to his tummy and then back again. Every time we leave him on his tummy a tiny bit longer, and then back before he starts to fuss too much. other plus side, he learned how to roll from tummy to back from doing that his head is still lopsided though. hmpf!

Nope I got to the point where I was done so she screamed for about 10 minutes dozed for about 5 then woke up screaming again so I picked her back up.


WittyLittle we have been doing great with naps in our room she plays on the floor until she is fussy then we talk/ read until drowsy. Then I nurse her and swaddle her and rock her until she is sound asleep. I put her down asleep for naps but she wakes back up and is AWAKE and not easily gotten back asleep.


This week she is also awake more at night so I am guessing she is growing or making some developmental leap, but can't she at least nap is she is going to keep me up all night?

Do you need a rubber diaper if you use swimming diapers? I am so confused by all of this.

As far as I can tell, no. Urine will run through, but poop won't; they're lined to keep it in (if cloth) or made of a bit different material with a snugger fastener.

I also go back to work next week (work 7a-7pm). Mixed feelings- mostly about my supply dropping, not being there to calm her, worried she'll feel abandoned by me, etc.

AW: After posting that, I counted my freezer stash, & I have over 400 oz pumped! I've drilled into my mom (watching DD/DS) not to waste a single drop of the liquid gold.

Another frequent amtrak user since my parents are in Philly. I'm headed there this weekend for my 10 year college reunion. I know one of my best friends who was going to go probably won't now unless trains are back up and running. Probably the same for lots of other people too. The news is saying now, the train was going way way to fast. Such a senseless tragedy.


cginge, I slept on the crib sheet I brought to LO's daycare for over a week, so I don't think its weird at all!

lotsofdotts, yay! glad the appt went well, and glad things are getting better!

WittyLittle, I'm late to the party, but I love the recaps

We went to target this morning because they're having a gift card deal on baby stuff. If you buy 2 giant packs of diapers (the big boxes) you get a $10 gift card. If you spent $125 on baby stuff, you get a $20 gift card. So I bought 4 giant packs and walked away with $40 in gift cards, woohoo. I'm sure I'll just spend my gift cards on more diapers later, but I figured might as well buy them while I get something for it. The deal works online too for anyone interested, but I had a couple manufacturers coupons that I wanted to use too.

All of a sudden my baby hates the car though. He used to love it but now it seems he screams when I take him anywhere. I've tried taking him right after he wakes up for a nap, when he's ready for a nap, and in between the two and the result is always the same. I hope it's just a phase because I feel awful while I'm driving and can't console him, but I need to get stuff done, baby!

Also the past two nights have been rough on sleep, so I'm hoping this is the 3 month growth spurt and we'll be out of it soon. So tired today.

Got my giant order order of Target diapers over the weekend! Hopefully he stays size 2 long enough to get through all of them!

My little guy hates the car seat and car too. Sigh. I haven't got advice but you definitely aren't the only one.

2mrsks (mrs&mrsk) I actually like snoop dogg! Too bad u can't go

Hugs to all you ladies going back to work. 6 weeks left for me. I'm going to rely on all of you to share your back to work wisdom when my time comes!

DS officially doesn't nap anywhere but my bed or the guest bed. Ive given up this fight to save my sanity. I was tired today and fell asleep next to him while waiting for him to clonk out. Thankfully I always sleep like a log, didn't move at all, we both survived the experience.

He learned to only stick his thumb into his mouth last weekend and also noticing his feet, he keeps bringing his legs up in the air. That's all cute during the day, but he really likes to practice his new skills at night. Mama is tired with his frequent wake ups.

Add DS to the tummy time hating club. He only lasts 2 minutes before he starts crying with tears all over his face. I feel he's a bit behind in neck strength and all that. He can barely hold up his head at 13 weeks. He's now got a flat head. Sigh...
