WittyLittle I am sorry LO has been so sick poor kiddo and poor momma. I hope he is quickly on the mend

[aggiebug]

Ahh I just had a fb friend what was best to feed a baby under 3 months of age that is constantly hungry. Ahh

Thankfully there is another mom to help me knock that idea down.

And she has an older kid so I feel like she should know some of this already?

WittyLittle hugs, mama. Good job for fighting for your LO. Take care of him & you.
GeekBeagle glad your stomach bug is going away.
aggiebug that 3 month growth spurt can be a doozy. Doesn't change that the answer is more milk!

[aggiebug]

lilyelayne it actually sounds like she may be dealing with reflux. The kiddo is 7wks actually. I told her to talk to the pediatrician about reflux.



So after talking about smoothies and wubanubs yesterday my DD (who refuses pacifiers) found her wubba nub in her toy box and is chewing on it/ playing with it. I guess I need to take that out. Oops

So soothies are a no go after 6 months. What about regular pacis (like mam or Nuk or nuby) labeled 0-6 months? Is it just that the 6-12 or 12+ are bigger? Or are 0-6 mo not safe? Ugh babies are hard.

I was just thinking the same thing. I have a mix of the 3-6 month and 6+ month mams that S uses. I think I waited until he was 6 months before I tossed the nb ones. Should I toss the under 6 month ones? Where is my baby instruction manual?!?

I don't know if it wasn't for the event I relayed yesterday I would have had no clue soothies were such an issue.

[WittyLittle]

Pacis are designed sothat they cant be swallowed, so technically the smaller size could potentially be unsafe. (Eg our kiddos might be sble to swallow a newborn -2/+2 month paci at this stage). There's some leeway though. I dont think 0-6 month will be a huge deal but technically not ergonomically suited for a ca 8 month old.

We went to the children's museum of Phoenix today. It was awesome. I love playing like a kid too. But, man, besides you guys I hate other moms and kids. If I hear one more comment about how girls are rough and are we going to try for a boy, slaps will be given. I have two girls and they are awesome. No my toddler isn't more emotional or attitudinal. She is a sweetheart. And I'd have another girl over a derpy boy any day. End rant.

Grilling kabobs tonight by the pool and watching the Cubs probably lose. Then it's early to bed for the girls and the adults are watching Jurassic World and making margaritas. My H and I have yet to see JW so I'm looking forward to it!

[dreemkin]

@massybaby I'm sorry about your hospital experience. Hope he's back to normal soon!

None of ours are labeled once opened? Nuk. Ds doesn't really like any pacifiers or wub too much but we haven't taken away either.

dreemkin JW is awesome! I loved it when I saw it, hope you and your H enjoy it!

hollydfromtn DD just "switched herself" from the 0-6 to 6+ mams last week or so. I throw 3 or 4 in her crib at night and it's usually a mix of the two since that's just what we have. I noticed the past week when I go in to get her in the morning she has the larger ones. I don't see a huge difference size wise in terms of a choking hazard but they are shaped differently and it would appear she prefers the 6+.

Not much going on here. I've had some kind of stomach bug the past couple days, but it seems to be getting better. However, DS has now developed a cough. No fever and he's not acting weird, so I'll just keep my eye on it. We thankfully haven't had any major sicknesses yet, but I'm tired of always having something. Our friends have a new baby that I really want to visit, but haven't because I don't want to get him sick.

cougarette I don't want to jinx anything, but DS is currently napping with a Tommee Tippee pacifier. This is the first time he's actually taken it and not thrown it out of the crib. Hooray!

Yay! I've found several under his crib because he'll throw them out, haha. I keep about 3 in there so I can easily grab a replacement if needed.

[lilyelayne]

DS doesn't actually suck on a paci but recently he's been finding one in his toy bucket and chewing on the wrong end (hard plastic side).

[GeekBeagle]

cougarette LOL...H asked me if it was ok to have multiple pacis in the crib. I swear, he's more paranoid than me about some things.

[aggiebug]

badw0lf omg I keep changing it and it corrects back. Ahhh. I changed keyboards and the auto correct is killing me. I am glad it is making you thirsty though
