skinandbones - I think she is talking about the 12 hours by 12 weeks book by Suzy Giodano. I bought the book Bc a lot of moms on a FB group recommended it, it had good reviews on Amazon, and who wouldn't want to get 12 hours of sleep by 12 weeks old? But when I read to pump to see how much milk you express during BF it gave me a red flag. It's just not a good technique for BF babies. It might be better with FF or EP babies... I tried it, and DS was miserable when I tried to stretch his meals out... Don't waste your money y'all.

We went shopping today to find items to fill our boxes for Operation Christmas Child. We've done a couple every year but last year DS really got it. This year was all the better. To see him picking out things to send to these precious kiddos was so sweet. He even drew a picture for each box!
Here's a link to one of the videos of the kids opening them - for those of y'all that aren't familiar. Melts my heart!! link
Consignment shopping has ruined me. I went to check out this sale and I just keep thinking "$___ for this?!? That I can get for $2-5 at Once Upon a Child!"
My kid only knows new clothes if someone gifts them.
Yeah baby boy #3 over here. He wears everything the older two wore, and a lot of those things were even hand me downs from friends.
Our boy has 5 boy cousins. No girls on either side! Tons of hand me downs!
W's 10 weeks (11 on Saturday) and still eats 8+ times a day.
Same with A...10.5 weeks and we're at 9 or 10 a day. She's happy with it, so I'm letting her set our schedule.
E will be 14 weeks soon and sometimes she still eats 8-9 times a day. Every day is different, anywhere from 5-9 times a day. When she was 10-11 weeks, 9+ times was still common. It just recently changed.

Anybody follow the baby cheapskate blog? They post all the current sales, weekly deals on diapers and wipes, coupon codes, etc.
The best is "buy it now" pricing on popular gear and toys as well as polls and rankings of the best toys per age group. Also what toys have the most longevity. I found this especially useful last Christmas.

We went to the pet store today. This is a huge time waster, fun for DS1 and gets us out of the house. He was looking at the mice and one was in the wheel. He thought it was hysterical. He must have watched that mouse for like 5 minutes laughing the whole time. Other customers would walk by, look at him and then at me with a huge smile. 3 year olds are seriously so funny.
Aaaaand Carters is having a 50% off everything sale, plus take an extra 25% off your order of $40 or more using code VETDAY25
I need to put my wallet away. Yikes.
Yes! Thank you for the reminder! I'd looked on Monday and found a bunch of stuff to buy but hadn't completed my order. Glad the sale is still going on.
Maybe this is a FFTC, but I fully intend on dressing my girls in matching outfits as much as possible while they are young, especially for special occasions. And Carters is one of the few places I've found that sells the same outfit in baby and toddler sizes. So matching Christmas dresses it is! DH was more on board with the whole, let DD2 wear what DD1 wore, and just buy a new dress for DD1 that coordinates with the baby one. But now with a sale, all bets are off!
N is 17% for height and 70% for weight. Talking about a baby diet. How about you come home and deal with a screaming hungry baby? Better yet, why don't you just shove it?
Our pedi left the state. I want to cry. And now find another practice.

Uhhhhhh you definitely need a new pedi. Putting a baby on a (weight loss) diet is not even a thing....

I made lasagne and a caprese salad for dinner. I also made some lactation cookies (the dough tastes yummy) I now lack the energy to clean the kitchen. Toddler only took an hour nap while I was at the grocery store, how I wish she would take another nap.

Yea nope I'm done. If I didn't need paperwork for ds1 we would have just walked out. What am I supposed to do put him on a schedule? This was a resident so if the new pedi comes in and tells me something like that I'm going to lose it. He's a baby. Baby's have growth spurts. I already think he's going through one now.
So remember the bullshit I went through to get my pumping breaks at work? Well, I just got an email from the HR lady being like "just a friendly reminder that your Workplace Accommodation is expiring in January. If you and your doctor decided that you need to continue your Workplace Accommodation into January, please reach out to me so I can give you the necessary paperwork."
WHAT! LADY! I've been back to work for barely 2 weeks! Are you kidding me? Federal law says I get a year. I'm not going through this shit every few months. I emailed her back and all I said was that Federal law says I get a year. She responded and said we could revisit it in January. I'm going to find her and I'm going to punch her.

I'm still waiting for them to come back in the room. What really set me off was baby diabetes. For real, he said that. To me. A diabetic.

They are upset over 70%. WTAF.
Because that and his height is below average. So? He's probably about to hit a growth spurt.
I will have to try to catch up on this thread later, but here are some randoms:
If you are going to be grumpy as a child care provider because a child is congested and unhappy, please get a different job. My kid slept well overnight and was happy this morning. It isn't like I purposely sent in a sleep deprived, cranky child. Also, I am pretty sure they are feeding her to try and calm her versus her being hungry because she had her 4th bottle before 300, she usually gets it around 445.

That's not cool! Where do these drs learn to deal with people? Seriously!
Hey guys this is a post and run because W is super cranky today.
I want to thank everyone who has answered my questions. I know I have a lot. My best friend Is an avid baby wearing, breastfeeding, cosleeping mom and was supposed to come up here for 2 weeks after w was born and be my mom resource/support. But she's had personal stuff going on and has been almost completely out of communication (soon after W was born) and when we do get to talk I don't bother her with my questions. So thank you for answering my million questions or confirming what I think I know. I don't know what I'd do without you guys.

Ummmmmm. htuzzi324. Wtf. Has your "doctor" ever heard of failure to thrive? I feel like that is what would happen.
If you don't know, official failure to thrive is when your baby's caloric input isn't meeting what they need to grow. So like an anorexic adult, the body starts to eat itself. This is how they got me to be ok with adding protein and fortifier to A's breastmilk.
Edit to add: what percentage do they want? A is so far down there, I have no idea lol.

Now a third pediatrician has come in and said he's fine. Omg.
