shannonabigail, everyone responds to stimulants differently. Your H could have mood changes, but he could also be fine. The good thing about stimulants is that because they are relatively short acting, so are the side effects. So if he does experience mood swings, they should resolve fairly quickly after stopping the medication. Also, if Adderall doesn't work well for him or causes side effects, he can try one of the other agents. Just because he has problems with one doesn't necessarily mean he'll have the same reaction to another.
Maybe my baby is weird, but all of the Carters 3m onsies are still a little too big for him (he's 7 weeks old) but other 3m onsie brands for him well. Carters are too long for him.
Same for us! Although she is long so we get tight in length on some but then the 0-3 or 3month are huge!
I set Ethan down, had a late lunch, and came to find that he had managed to get one of his feet out his sleeper
How do they do this? I bought all the infant swaddlers with Velcro and hands in. Can't use them anymore because he has managed for two nights in a row to get both his arms and legs out of it!!! Regular Houdinis!
Happy Hump Day and Happy Autumnal Equinox! Woohoo I'm a tad caffeinated already Nothing planned today except pulling out Jack's 3-6 month clothing. (!) He's still fitting into 0-3 month, but some things are getting kinda snug. Anyone else notice Carter's onsies on the small side??
Yup. Most of Evie's onesies are carter and she's in 6 month clothes since 5-6 weeks. Ain't no way my 7 weeks old is anywhere near 6 month. Sizing is whack yo.
That's funny you say that. The only brand that I find to be dead on wth DS and now Eliza is Carter's.
So I'm not sure if Amelia's sutures are infected. I sent a message to the pediatrician and they said it sounds like a common reaction, but I don't like it. It looks like there are whiteheads at the suture points and then there's one along the incision line.
PT is coming this afternoon and then I'm probably going to take her in. Maybe PT can talk me down lol.
Does she have dissolvable stitches? Top of the head, behind the ear and belly? Eliza's are still hanging in there strong (4 weeks post shunt surgery) and I'm wondering when they'll ever go away.

@misava387 it took about a week with DS1 to get him used to the crib. We tried naps first. Then went to overnight. Which I see is the opposite of what @aliam20 says.

Her first set took 6 weeks. Just in time for a revision lol. Doctor said 2 months is normal.

So maybe someone is slipping steroids in my milk then. Or poor thing takes after me.
@missaba387 I would not worry at all about not napping in the crib at this age. It is very common at this age and does not mean they won't nap in their crib in a few months.
I tried the Nose Frieda for the first time the other day but it didn't really work. I will say though that my sweet little baby was having a fit and tossing her head all around when we were trying. We couldnt get her head to be still, so maybe that was the problem. MH thinks it is disgusting. We had a bunch of people over that night and he showed it to them and everyone was in camp disgusting. I am not willing to give up on it yet if it is as wonderful as you all make it sound.

Stupid usps. I'm done with them. They lost a package and now I have to find $6 to put in PayPal to refund this lady who bought diapers. It was insured but they won't give me my money back until it's been lost a month. what!? Also, I cut out all cheese and yogurt and now my baby is sweet and cuddly and sleeps during the day. Life is better. Found a phone that fits my budget so hopefully I'll have a phone tomorrow!yay! I feel naked without a phone.

Today has been a hard day. My mom came over to help and instead her dog tried to bite me while I was feeding walt which surprised me and made me yell. Which scared walt. Then she got mad at me for scaring the baby. She then threw a manipulative fit, stomped around and slammed doors and then left. So no help. Ever since then walt has been really clingy (i think he can tell I'm stressed) and has been either feeding or screaming. I finally got him to sleep but now I can't move and I just need a moment to decompress from dealing with my mom. She is supposed to come back on Friday, Monday, and Tuesday but I may just opt out. Also I forget who mentioned it but thank you for talking about what sleep patterns to work on. We're getting nightime down but today was frustrating as he only slept in his crib for 20 minutes (after I rocked him for an hour). So I'll just keep focusing on nighttime and chill on the day work.

I'm scared to take him out...Cuz he'll wake up. And cry. I seriously don't know how all mom's don't babywear. I'd never get anything done without it. He's been in the wrap, the sling, and the beco today.
Just found out H is going on Adderall tomorrow for ADD. I'm worried about mood changes and how it will affect our family.
I was on it for 2 years. It worked wonders for my concentration but I was a complete bitch. God forbid you disturbed me while I was in the middle of something. I was just not a pleasant person, hence why I stopped taking it.

I was on Adderall without any mood consequences. And like previous people said it gets out of your system fast so if there are any negative side effects he can get rid of them quickly.
Little A hasn't been sleeping in her crib for a week now. She is great in the RnP and arms. So I told her dr this yesterday and she strongly encouraged me to get her back in the crib so we don't form bad habits. She slept alright in the crib last night but I think she was mostly just tired from the days activities.
Today is a different story. The little darling will not even rest in her crib, just cries. I've tried pacifiers, belly patting, tucking her tight with a blanket and more.. She is so tired. Unfortunately idk which one of us is more stubborn. She's asleep on my arm now and want to go put her in the crib but I'm sure she'll wake up and she really needs the rest.
Do I stay the course and put her in the crib or take a break and let her sleep?
I'm of the school of thought do whatever works for you so if the RnP is working keep on. Everyone has an opinion that doesn't mean you need to take it.
Wore Nelson in Ergo whilst grocery shopping today! He woke up and screamed twice, but i was able to shush and i gave him my pinky nuckle, because he gags on my fingers. I wanted to run out if the store screaming, but people were nice and smiled, it was mostly older people .

First bottle with the gentle formula and we had a puke. H had him and got the burp cloth up to catch it but then held it right up against his face so my kid puked all over his own face. H does not do puke so he took him directly to the changing table for me to clean up and got himself cleaned up. My guys are pitiful tonight.

Ethan slept the whole day. And by whole day. I mean he woke up to eat and that's it. I might be in trouble. I'm hoping because he has a cold he's just sleeping it off.
