We are doing good if we get 30-90 min of tummy time per week!
I agreed to work out of town next weekend and my mom is coming with to take care of LO. I'm anxious about flying with baby and another adult. I can't imagine 3 kids by myself!
I did that with DS1 when he was about 7 months to an outdoor concert a friends band was playing. DS was a huge hit with the drunks (it was St Patrick's Day).
No side eyes from me.
Uhhh, especially cause the concert is foo fighters! Hello!
We took DS1 to tractor pulls last year at 4+ months. We got the ear muffs and he slept through the whole thing. We took both boys on the Kubota to watch the guys combine last weekend. Baby sleepy through it all.

Tummy time? What's that? Seriously the only time I could consider it is when DS1 is at school or asleep. The probability of Ethan being awake and not have just eaten are low. DS1 can not control his body and I am afraid he's going to jump or step on Ethan on accident
Man I realized I haven't watched or read hardly any news since being on maternity leave. I had no idea there was a hurricane passing the U.S. I'm so out of the loop.
So, according to all the parenting websites and books I should be playing with A all the time, she should be grabbing rattles, responding to my smiles, and enjoying all of this. Except that she takes a half hour to nurse and then I have to hold her upright for a half hour and then she starts to get over tired and fussy. Does anyone else have a baby who can't seem to stay awake for more than an hour?
ETA: But who still will only sleep for one 3 hour stretch of sleep at night.
I've noticed if DS2 doesn't nap after he's been up for an hour then I have a fussy baby.
aracale .. I worry about this all of the time. Little A is either sleeping, eating, or crying. There's maybe an hour total where she is content and I can interact with her. I'm hoping it's normal?? I read an article last night that said babies should get 30-90 mins of tummy time each day. EACH DAY. Thaaaat is not happening in this house (maybe 10 mins total) so now I'm all freaked out that she's never going to develop her neck muscles
This poor kid gets tummy time when I remember. But in my defense, we tend to hold him upright so he's still working his neck.

Then, fuck ya, you need to take your kid,
DS1 asks to listen to "I Go" (or as the band calls "Something from Nothing") and "the Pretender." I feel like I'm winning at parenting.

layloo08 I was gonna say there is no way you shouldn't get something pumping! 20 oz gain in a week is crazy lady! The average is 1-2 oz a day! Glad the flange change fixed it!

That's what I thought, too! I told H, I know there's milk in there lol..
We don't have an uo Thursday thread, so I guess I will post this here. I let my 10 week old "CIO" by that I mean she was fussy, tired, and nothing else I tried would get her to sleep, so I went outside for a few min to gather my sanity, and she cried for about 5 min and then fell asleep in her swing. Huh. Little poop. Might have to try that again.
Eh, 5min is hardly cry it out territory! I regularly let her cry a few min while I poop or finish my lunch.

This is me also! DD1 only just turned two and is a maniac! The baby doesn't get a lot of floor time period because of this..... Then add in a 60lb boxer dog who just wants to be part of the action.... Need the Nope octopus for this.

Picked up a used VCR off craigslist today and I'm transferring all our home VHS tapes to my computer. So now I get to watch all these old videos. So far they're all a combination of my mom yelling "Where's kaeguri? Where's kaeguri? WHERE'S KAEGURI oh there she is." and my brother yelling "mom mom mom mom mom" and my mom yelling "WHAT. STOP THAT. GET OFF THAT. DON'T LET YOUR BABY SISTER DO THAT." and my sister going "ugh, whatever, get a life DON'T LOOK AT ME I'M HIDEOUS"

It's amazing how having a baby changes your views and responses to natural disasters. Went all doomsday preppers after work getting water and flashlights since we didn't own any.
Honestly my worst fear is that the power goes out and my 20 bags of breastmilk spoils.

I feel like I should buy an inflatable raft or something. I hope tomorrow and tomorrow night are calm. H has overnight duty so it's just me, my daughter, my dog who's terrified of puddles, my cat who's terrified of th dog/people/loud noises/rain, and my turtle who's terrified of life.
3 big suitcases. 1 pump bag, 1 diaper bag, 1 stroller, 3 kids, and me. This is going to be fun.
You are majorly badass
We made it home alive. Cluster feeding is in full force. I'm thinking of giving some formula because I just need a break from all my children at this point. Oh and I'm letting them eat donuts for dinner because just fuck everything.

This is hilarious.
We have one where my little brother was messing with remotes and my uncle moves it away from him the clear as a bell he says "Hey look at that fucker" the camera fades to black. He was 2. It's funny now.
