SQS 10-11

[stinybean]

Happy Sunday everyone! What questions do you have this week?

[stinybean]

I had a food question, but I'm going to put it in a different thread.

Are you supposed to wait until their feet are flat on the floor for exersaucers and jumperoos?

IDK but I saw my friend put a book under her DBs feet in the exersaucer so I did the same thing. I also put a blanket around his waste to help stabilize him. He loves it and will play for a good half hour at a time!

What's the difference between a jumperoo & an activity center? I don't want to get a jumperoo but an activity center looks like something my LO might enjoy...but I'm wondering if it comes with the same warnings as the jumperoo.

I googled activity center and it looks like the same thing as an exersaucer. Jumperoos move when the LO jumps, exersaucers dont very much if at all.

Toes touch but not flat foot. For our exersaucer if feet are flat it needs to move up a height setting.

Is there anything I can do to help/stop this PP hair loss? I'm seriously getting bald spots on my temples!

This is the best info I found about exersaucers. Not to be a sanctimommy, but we're waiting until 6 months. We're lucky enough to have a laid back baby that's entertained by other things right now. mamaot.com/exersaucers-the-good-the-bad-the-better/

I just got a text from our daycare provider that one of the other children there had a suspected mild case of chickenpox according to his ped (only a rash as a symptom, supposedly, and he is 18 months so has had the first dose of vaccine). Fortunately, due to V being sick and this child being out last Friday, he and this child were only together for 2 days while the rash was present. It's a multi-age daycare (V is the youngest and the oldest is 4), so they are together while there, but not sure how much exposure or contact V has with him.

Should I be concerned or on the lookout for symptoms? I know that if the other boy was contagious that V's been exposed already, so there is not much we can do if that's the case.

It sounds like V was likely exposed but he will have some antibodies from you so hopefully if he gets it it wont be too bad. You wont really know for sure until you see the rash

We asked 2 doctor friends and my PA sister and all said to keep him home for a few days, so we're currently t9rying to figure that out.

Poor V, you guys can't catch a break

Should I be more concerned than I am that J spit up some red stuff 3.5 hours after giving him red tylenol?

Maybe ask the doctor?im not sure how long it would take to digest.

I sent them an email last night, just waiting on a response. It definitely wasn't blood, but just seems weird that long after dosing.

@jemomma LT for commiserating, not for the fact that we have the receding hairline look going on

[mrsmonogrammed]

@jemomma- basically. I'm almost afraid to run my hands through my hair these days!

And another SQ- when are you ladies planning on pulling out the warm car seat cover to use for winter? It's been about 40's here in the mornings but gets into 60's by end of the day. So far I've just been sticking a blanket on her when we leave in the AM.

I'm not sure what you mean by warm car seat cover...did your car seat come with 2 ? If not I wouldn't suggest using anything to cover the seat other than what came with it.

I'm assuming she means one of these:

My sister-in-law gave me one, i'm definitely going to wait until closer to winter here, a blanket seems to do fine for now.

That makes more sense. I know ow some people buy after market ones to go between baby and seat (which aren't considered "safe"). The shower cap style I think is supposed to be fine

ETA: I didn't use either with DS, a blanket was always sufficient. Though I'm not parked in a garage any more so this winter my pose it's own issues.

Yes, this is the kind I meant! Thanks for clarifying!

[erbear]

My mom accidentally bought me the wrong bundle me but it will apparently fit strollers and you can use it there! I bought the shower cap style one today, because I am too lazy to fix the bundle me to make it safe.

J likes his pacifiers frozen when he won't calm down. Possibly teething?

There's no chance of this happening, right?

I would run it under cold water first before putting it in his mouth, but I've had more than one experience of that image happening between my lip and a jello pudding pop.
