Dumb Questions: March

mrsmoose5

@Ladybug2821 yes! This LO loves to squeal and scream all day long! I had to take her out to the garage and walk her around in there because she was so fired up screaming so loud during the last leg of DS's nap today lol

Hello ladies, just jumping in here again to seek advice.
Any other baby stopped rolling over? 
My little girl can roll both ways since 2 and 3 months. Now she's almost 5 months and refuses to roll back from tummy to back. She just gets angry and I'll go and help her after a little bit.
Not sure what to do with this.

It could be a leap... things slow down or regress before they improve. I wouldn't worry just yet but if you're noticing other physical set backs I would call the doctor.

Thank you for your feedback @sandnstarsnj.
While reading that it popped up in my head that I've noticed her trying to put her knees under her butt, so maybe she's focusing on that.
Why don't babies come with manuals!

Funny you should say that! We actually own Baby: The Owners Manual. It's quite helpful!

I haven't heard of that one yet. I'll definitely google it.
I have 'The wonder weeks' which helped a lot.

@tvh1982 My LO rolled over at three months for like a week and hasn't since then. My dr said totally normal and he will roll between 6-8 months most likely:)

LO took a break from rolling over here too. He will ever so often roll from front to back, now he's focusing on back to front.  But for awhile he didn't do either even though he's done it before.

It's nothing like Wonder Weeks. It's MUCH more basic: https://www.amazon.com/Baby-Owners-Manual-Instructions-Trouble-Shooting/dp/1594745978

So, I can't remember which thread it was on, but what did we collectively decide works best for irritation on the chin/neck area due to excessive drooling? I feel so bad little man's neck is all red and looks painful although doesn't seem to bother him much. He has a 4 month appt tomorrow but figured I'd see what you ladies thought.

I think we were all over the place - I'm a cornstarch baby powder believer to dry it out. Then I use some Calendula lotion to moisturizer and wrap it up with some leftover Lanolin (remember when we needed that??) to protect the area from moisture. And it works pretty well.

I did a couple night of burt's diaper cream and i cleared it right up.

Thank you!

@tvh1982 Yes ! our LO is the same way. First she was able to turn from tummy to her back, then she started to back to tummy and she acted as if she forgot how to go back. Now all she is interested is to try to sit up , or if we are holding her hands she pulls herself and stand up. She does not roll at all. It feels like when she figures something out , she passes on the next thing  

@leighry DD is the same way, could you please let me know what your doctor says?

leighry

@ZoeFer he suggested 1% hydrocortisone cream! So now I at least feel like I have a few things I can try!

ZoeFer

thanks @leighry , we have a 4month dr appointment on Wed. i will also ask our doctor

Thank you for the link @SandNStarsNJ!

Sounds like our girls do the same @zoefer. She only wants to sit, which makes giving a bottle tough. I also had to buy a different stroller as she doesn't want to lay in it awake...nothing to see and unable to sit. And the sit part of the stroller she has to be older..so a new one it is.
She also has the irritation in the neck. I use a Dutch cream which has dexpanthenol in it. (Brand is: Bepanthen) I start using it since yesterday after we were at the doctors for testing my LO's cowsmilk allergy. And it's almost all gone. 
She did mention to try to keep it dry (which is not easy as she is a big ass drooler)

Do you utilize the same amount of calories pumping as you do BFing?  I'm thinking yes, but it seems like I'm gaining weight since starting to pump for work and I'm not doing anything differently besides that.

@kvruns When your LOs poop was smelling like vinegar, did you ever figure out what it was from?  I've noticed that with S since yesterday and she has also developed a horrible rash that has her swollen. PP said could be teething which I also read can cause the pee to be more acidic thus leading to rash, but just wanted to see if you got a doctor's opinion. 

kvruns

no I didn't ask a Dr @ladybug2821  It was that way a couple times in one day or maybe it was one weekend and then I didn't notice it after that. I did some reading on it and it could be an imbalance of foremilk/hindmilk, or could have been something I ate. Mine didn't have a rash or anything though. Perhaps since yours has a rash too it could be something you ate?
