Operation nap in the crib failed. I really thought if I put her in the swaddle sack she'd sleep since she does so well at night. 30 minutes of me putting her down asleep, her immediately waking up screaming, me bouncing her back to sleep and repeat before I ditched the crib to try laying down with her. Now it's been almost an hour and she's overtired and cranky I had luck with the swing twice yesterday, guess I should've stuck with that.
We are really struggling with the crib! I'm going to keep trying in spurts, but I was experiencing the same thing and need her to get good naps in too. She screams quickly in the crib and takes time to settle again. Her best nap of the day is usually in the car seat when we are out somewhere or going between places.
I've always been told/read that it's better to start on oatmeal cereal (if you go the cereal route) because rice cereal causes constipation. I like Gerber brand, because it's so readily available. Good luck!
Starting A on rice cereal this weekend. Btdt moms, any favorite brands? Things to avoid?
She's going to get very little. She'll spit most right back out. This is because she's used to sucking her food so when she eats the rice cereal she'll do the same.

My oldest brother is a state trooper in Houston. He's going to be out in that storm and rain and I'm really worried about him. I hope it's not going to be as bad as they say it will be and I really hope it doesn't flood too bad.
gingerygirl T&Ps for your brother! My best friend and her husband decided to drive to Houston this weekend to see her in laws family. Seems really dumb if you ask me... Plus she hates her Inlaws. Why would you want to be stuck inside with people you hate all weekend and then possibly be stuck there again on Sunday because of the rain? To each their own I guess...
I'm out getting a pedicure and left LO with DH. DS was napping in his crib when I left and the monitor we have lets me look in even when I'm not at home on my phone. Just saw this:
Now I can't stop peeking in to see if he's still asleep! Ahh focus on your pedicure, woman!

I get to go to my breastfeeding group tomorrow. And then I'm going shopping. For something besides groceries and prescriptions. I'm so excited. I haven't left the house more than four times this month. For realz.

I went to Target today and FINALLY bought a carrier. Then I went grocery shopping and tried it out. I love it! Oh man, its so nice to have two hands and not have to lug the car seat everywhere. I saw a couple with 10 month old twins who had the same carrier as me. They noticed and started a conversation. It was really nice to have some adult interaction. I haven't made any friends in our new town yet and it was super nice to talk friendly with someone.

Having dinner with the in laws. So far I have asked no less than 3 times to not discuss politics, mass killings and school shootings in front of the toddler. I also saw red when MIL demanded Little Bones to give her a kiss or she would be sad.
Does anyone have that article about not forcing littles to give hugs and kisses? I want to share it with DH?
