I am still trying to catch up on spam!

boxerrrmama85, Have a great time!
michelle142, Those pants are fab! No.
cginge,What!? That is so weird!

The children's hospital called today and DS is going in tomorrow for his first appointment! Holy fast!

Wow that's great!  Are you going to sick kids?

They called again with more info, we are going to Soldier's first for an assessment and then a referral will get sent to Sick Kids to make a helmet if needed. After tomorrow we should know more I hope!

Some parents get super freaked out when babies/toddlers touch their own genitals, so I could see a pediatrician trying to give parents a heads up that it's normal behavior and don't freak out. But, uh, there are better ways and it doesn't sound like this is what he was doing, or at least not effectively.

My BFF has a son and she asked her dr about this bc it seemed like he was trying to rip it off every chance he got 

haha true i forgot, boys and their willies eh?!

[WittyLittle]

My orchid, the only plant in history that I've managed to keep alive, is dying, because DH keeps knocking it down on the floor. THE ANGER! LOBSTER RAGE!

[kartish]

I told my son last night to stop attacking his penis. I swear he just discovered it or something, I don't know.

[toadandbuggie]

WittyLittle, LMAO toad on a stick, come eat me

[toadandbuggie]

WittyLittle, really, you have managed to keep your orchid alive? I kill all plants on accident regardless, but I find those extremely temperamental and hard to keep alive.

[toadandbuggie]

I'm definitely going to POAS as soon as I get a test. I had 3 and paranoia made me take all of them already since weaning. It was neg 2 weeks ago.

That made me feel better.

The trick is to take the pot and stick it in a tub of water for 1 hour every week and then drain out the excess water. Then back away slowly and don't make eye contact. Oh and add those spiffy orchid drops every few weeks if you remember (which I don't). Then they become amazingly simple to take care of!!!

He had an annoying habit of answering questions I didn't ask. The whole penis conversation arose because the tip of LO's penis is a little inflamed (we tried using cheaper, less absorbent diapers but my little prince requires Pampers and the cheapies irritated his skin) and I asked if we needed any cream or anything for it. He started talking about things that had nothing to do with my concern--this happened a couple times. It was so bizarre. He has good reviews too.

What kind of diapers have you been using? DS has some irritation and I'm wondering if it's the Target diapers or something else.

Also, that guy sounds weird.

[emilyz320]

Ok I remember when others had a baby who wouldn't nap because they were rolling into their belly and getting stuck - does anyone else have a baby that is constantly sitting up in the crib and won't nap because of it? After dd's terrible night, she just played in her crib for an hour of nap time. Practicing rolling, army crawling, and pushing herself up. I finally had to go in and rock her to sleep. But, now it's been about 3 hours since her last bottle and of course the lawn guys just came, so I'm fully expecting her to wake up and be a mess at bedtime.

We were using the Target diapers, now back to Pampers. I liked the Target diapers but I'm almost positive they caused the irritation.

[lilyelayne]

Aggghhhh I'm never going to get the hang of wrapping DS on my back.

One target diaper and DD had some serious diaper rash, I think it is because they don't absorb as much (for dd) because she got one in a swim diaper too.

I know you weren't asking me but that is my experience. It might be something you try a pack of a different brand then try the target diapers you have left and see if it comes back.

How many naps is she taking now? It could be a developmental leap causing nap torture but she might be dropping a nap if she is currently taking 3 or more a day.
I think DD is dropping a nap boo.

No matter the reason it sucks.

[ace226]

Re: weird things to say about baby genitals. MIL was hanging out while I put DS to bed and when I put ointment on his bum laughed at "oh that feels good doesn't it?!" It totally creeped me out. Like, okay, yeah it probably does because there's naturally nerve endings, but. I don't know. Just me?

[emilyz320]

aggiebug she recently dropped from 4 naps to 3. I was thinking the same thing, but her second nap ends around 2 and her bedtime isn't until 7 or so. That seems forrrrevvvvverrrr! I hope she's not dropping one. Based on her behavior and all these new skills she is throwing out, I think it is a leap.

[mommadozer]

kartish I'm usually on top of paying bills but, since DS i'm horrible. You are not alone.


cginge ok that is just weird that the PA continued on and on about LO's hammer. What a weirdo. Find a new doctor.

lilyelayne ya, our doctor warned us but, in a professional manner.

Continuing with his topic...DS grabs his bean bag (I like this wording badw0lf) anytime he is naked. He is not very gentle and I always have to make sure that his nails are trimmed so he does not do any damage.

[maryxc1]

I am just so sick of having a whining baby all the time. We started sleep training over a week ago and her night sleeping has greatly improved, but naps still stink and her separation anxiety has gone through the roof. The instant I am not within a foot of her, she screams. DH is not an acceptable alternative either. Between that and her being tired from not napping well, I feel like she is always fussy.

On another pity party note, we are having trouble getting her eczema under control so no solids yet. Per the pediatrician, we can't tell a reaction from one of her flare ups so no go yet. I feel like I have the only six month old in the world who is solely on milk.

[GeekBeagle]

cginge That's what I'm afraid of. :/ We have three unopened boxes because I bought ahead due to good deals.

aggiebug I appreciate the input, no matter who I asked!

[aggiebug]

GeekBeagle return them. If you have your credit card they will put it back on it. Or they will put it on a gift card.

[missys]

GeekBeagle if you bought them on your red card you don't need a receipt to return them.

If you don't have a red card and don't have a receipt they will take returns using your drivers license for up to $75

Also, if my child does not stop waking up 5-6 times a night I'm going to pull out what little hair I have left after PP hair loss.

Internet hugs!

So dh and I talked. His first words when he walked in were that he was sorry. But he swears up and down the he didn't say what I thought he did. He said he was just trying to tell me that he would feed the baby if I wanted. So maybe I misinterpreted some of it in my sleepy haze. Then he cleaned the kitchen and thanked me for dinner. So I forgive him.

[taberbtb]

emilyz320 I would also tell DH he's on night shift for the next few nights if he thinks he is so much better at it!

aggiebug I sleep with the volume off on our (video) monitor. If DD really wakes I will hear her but if she's just chatting or fussing I sleep right through it!

toadandbuggie it may take time for you hormones levels to come down from BF'ing before you ovulate. It took 8 weeks after I stopped for AF to return.

As for night weaning, some nights B sleeps right through 7-7, and some nights she wakes once. If I think she isn't going back to sleep without a bottle I give it to her. I can feed her and have her back asleep in 15 min, why would I stay awake and battle her for over an hour if I don't need to?

Question- those who's LO's have teeth are you guys brushing them yet?

[missys]

taberbtb I was just going to ask the teeth brushing question. So far I've wiped them down with a wash cloth after he had solids for dinner but keep forgetting after bottles. I want to ask this at our 6 month appointment next week but has anyone else's pedi said what to do?

You are better than me. I have done nothing, and I was wondering when and how often to start. Every bottle? I should, but don't, even brush my own teeth after every meal I eat. Oops.

Are you supposed to do that? Here I was getting all proud of myself for doing floss, brushing, and mouthwash morning and night.

Our dentist said we should wipe her mouth down with a cloth. Now that she has a couple teeth, I got one of those silicone teether toothbrushes that looks like a banana. We brush her teeth and gums on the changing table getting ready for bed, and then let her chew on it. www.amazon.com/dp/B002QYW8LW/

If DS is sleeping 12 hours, what do you guys think is the maximum number of feeds he should be having? 2? Or is that too many? It's probably four right now, but to be honest, I just offer the boob MOTN because I'm tired and can't deal.

We just dropped to 4 wakeups and I do the same. I just pull out the boob because it's easy.
