I hope that one day in my career I'll be the person that a company is willing to wait 4 months for me to start bc I'm that good. Right now I'm doing a bunch of marketing/video production work for another business unit that's not mine while we wait for this woman to start in "maybe Sept" as I've been told! Yeah boss, go eff yourself for getting on me for not getting more some of her work...you should have hired someone who could start now and not just give me her stuff to do. I called him out on it since his previous person had 2 YEARS to get some of these videos done and did NOTHING meanwhile I've done 8 videos in 3 months. His response, "that's why I give you things bc you get them done and you're good at it"...show me the money dude...show me the mother f$&kin money!!
Do we have speech pathologists on here? I feel like we have at least one, maybe two. I'm trying to figure out if I need to get a referral for D and don't want to go through our EI system. ETA: I just have a couple of questions about what's considered typical at this age. I will not hold you to making treatment recommendations or anything.
Obvs not a speech pathologist, but I feel like there are enough of us going through some of this that we could have our own thread about it? DD is in therapy now and I'm curious how other kiddos are doing. We got our referral for an eval through our pedi and luckily the practice has an in-house therapist.
I would totally be down for a thread. I feel like I have a lot of questions too.
michelin82 Oh hon. You're not a failure- he's three. Three is THE WORST. Survive and advance. That's all you can do. Get past this year and it will be better. Different. A little easier. Hugs. PM me any time!

Wait, wait, wait...I thought these terrible, tantrum-filled twos were supposed to be the worst! We're in store for more of this crap at 3??!! After three they'll be fine until they are teenagers?!!?
Adorable! (head pat for being adorable). Even though G was a very verbal 2 year old, at 3 he had ALL the words. All of the words to express exactly what my shortcomings were as a parent.
And they start smelling like dirty kids not dirty babies. Gross.
I'm finding 4 to be slightly better then 3. I have not had to mutter "I hope you make it to the age of 5 " half as much as I was muttering "can you make it until the age of 4"

heelibrarian I have a lot of questions, too, and would also be down for a thread, especially if the first post specifies that it's to talk about goals, progress, questions, etc., and not to compare progress - I think that's understood but, given that feelings are sometimes unintentionally hurt, I want to be sure it's defined as a safe space.

daffy2k I'm glad you got some answers about your be struggles. In hindsight I think O had issues with a lip tie as well but I had never had a successful BF experience to compare to (K literally never even latched once) so I had no idea what to look for.
In terms of lip and tongue ties in older kids, I am very knowledgeable. But in terms of lip and tongue ties as they relate to bf and latching, we receive virtually no education. This makes me wish there was more education on this for us in school. Bf is really only discussed for us In comparison to formula and cows milk for nutrition and caries (decay) risk. I would follow up with your pedi or LC for better info on that. Lip and tongue ties can "retract" so to speak as kids age so what they look like as infants doesn't necessarily relate to future issues with them.
I have an alt version of this thread subject going through my head:
COME SPAM AWAY, COME SPAM AWAY, COME SPAM AWAY WITH ME!
Hmm, no good STYX gifs...
I keep hearing it as the first line of the Fraggle Rock theme song.
Spam the pain away! *clap clap* Worry's for another day! Let the music play *clap clap* Down at Fraggle Rock!
FFMC: I loved Fraggles so much as a kid that I have 2 Fraggle puppets for K to try and get her hooked. Red and Boober. And a stuffed doozer. It hasn't taken yet... But I don't give up easily.

You are always so good with words, you should start it

^^ from the lips of the expert nachellebeck, lol. I think that I was definitely at an advantage having had a great bf experience with M. I knew that I could do it, but I also knew what I was looking for in regards to latch, etc and that we just weren't achieving that. But I've had my doubts over the last couple weeks as to whether I would really be able to sustain what we were doing, especially with a toddler running around. Fx that snipping the ties helps her get a good latch and we can start our bf relationship over.
You know... the more and more I think about it...the more I think Kael had a lip tie. I was just too quick to give up BF to have it checked.
Is there a way to tell at this age? Or has that ship sailed?
workinit or everydayimshuffling may know more... But my understanding is that lip ties can sometimes interfere with teeth so maybe ask the dentist? I don't know if they can disappear on their own, but truthfully I feel like I may have a bit of one (I can feel it when I stick my tongue up between my lip and gums). My mom did breastfeed me, but she says I was never fond of it and preferred a bottle. I wonder now if a mild lip tie was the reason.

I have no clue how much of it is normal, but that is what/where a lip tie would be. If they can regress over time like shuffling said, then I wouldn't doubt mine was bad enough to make bf'ing uncomfortable or difficult (not saying that is what happened, I just wonder now)

The upper ones tend to retract on their own and your pediatric dentist will let you know if it's a problem.
You are supposed to have a slight one! It's called a frenulum.
Tongue tie. D had one and we had it snipped at a week old. It was no big deal at all. It's when your tongue is attached very close to the base. Like you can barely stick your tongue out. Some kids have speech difficulty because of this. MH has a moderate one that was never corrected. He went to speech therapy but there is no reason to correct it now.

Haha, yes, it's supposed to be there, just not way up in between your front teeth. Some people have a space between their front teeth (which I think looks really good sometimes, hello Madonna!) and some people have gum issues from it. But yes, it is supposed to be there!
I shared a video my girlfriend made that has to do with her struggle with infertility. There is a trigger warning in it. It's very sweet and get your Kleenex ready if you happen to view it.
And to whoever recommended the netflix food documentary - lizzybizzy and @theformerwren I believe, I really like it so far! I've eaten at Dan Barber's restaurants and it was so interesting to watch.
His food looked so good, I'm jealous. I felt for him and his obsessiveness. The part about his mom made me cry.
Any ideas how to get burnt sugar off a waffle maker?
Scrub with baking soda and water mixture. Also turning it on to heat up and then scraping it while it's hot works sometimes too. And vinegar and salt will break down almost anything if you use that.

violet I was also going to suggest baking soda. You might be able to make a paste with that and white vinegar and let it sit a few minutes before scrubbing, although I don't know if it would ruin any nonstick properties.
