My LO does for a few minutes when I pick her out of her bed in the morning and between bath time/massage time and making a bottle. (I have about 3min before the bottle heater beeps) She actually has her arms around my neck and her chin against my face so I can give kisses. Other then that she just needs action, so I treasure those two moments.
A's version of kissing is to open her mouth and suck somewhere on my face. Occasionally she licks. She is a big snuggler. After she nurses, she'll detach and burrow her nose into my elbow. She only snuggles on her side. If she's upright, she needs to move.
ODD dropped cuddling around this time and has been independent ever since. DS, however, prefers to be held at all times and will pass out on me before going down in his crib. And I'm milking it for as long as it will last.
Occasionally, she likes to be held and kissed a lot but sometimes she does not When I get back from works, she loves to cuddle and licks my face and arms etc. I think that s her way of kissing . Even though she loves to sleep next to us, feeling our body next to hers, she likes to sleep on her own space so if we co-sleep she occupies a lot of space.
I have a dumb question : I have not done any shopping for DD for summer . When I checked now, most of the stuff i liked on Old Navy is already sold out !! What do they need ? Since she will be probably crawling on the floor , i thought she would need some leggings but everything is very short. Are they okay to have their legs open during the day ?
I worry a bit about LO's knees when crawiling too! We got some of the babylegs leg warmers/leggings at a garage sale, but I'm not sure if they will be too hot or if it's weird for a boy to wear them (I try not to conform too much or worry too much about gender norms but I'll admit it's hard.)
Their knees will be fine, they don't have cartilage yet. Yes to bare baby legs in summer! Stay away from dresses if they are close to crawling because they just trip all over them. Get a super light weight wearable blanket, like a muslin or lightweight cotton. Get a sun hat

^ This all the way! And there's nothing wrong with padding around in just a diaper on those super hot days.
I had the knee pads and never used them the first time around. We have hardwood and carpet. I might try the knee pads, but honestly I think she'll be fine. Even with bare knees. I'm not really worried about rug burns either because when they start to crawl it's slow at first.
The little leggings m is wearing in the photo I posted in HDBD are crawling leggings and have a little more cushion in the knees. they are super cute but so not practical to think he can or will wear something like that whenever he crawls. I'm plan to keep dressing him like I do and go with the flow
I bought some kneepads on 'wish', very cheap. Not really for protection LO's knees, but to help crawling as it has anti-slip on them. As for clothing. I bought 3 cute cotton romper suits with short legs and one with long legs. All from very light material. The basic legging and the none practical but very cute dress On hot days it'll be just sleeveless bodysuits or just a diaper. Definitely a yes on summerhats!
Does anyone else still suffer from heavy legs and arms? I had this during pregnancy and it'll drive me insane, and noticed I still have them. It's actually to the point that it keeps me awake as I'm very uncomfortable. Could of course be the blood transfusion or I'm just 'lucky' to keep one of the symptoms.
Has anyone else broken out in itchy bumps sporadically? I have to assume it's hormone related but would at least feel a little reassured if I wasn't the only one.

I do on my hands/fingers. It happened before LO thinks worse now. Mine is partially stress related it seems
@ladybug2821 yeah you do. The bottle will leak if you don't use all the parts. Even if you are past colic it's still good to reduce the amount of air that gets in their tummies is how I think about it.
I had two women I was supposed to phone interview for a nanny position today completely flake on me, no call or message. Would you write them a bad review? I'm pretty annoyed by this. I planned our whole Saturday around these women.
@MrsMaryK2016, yes. I would. Unless they were in some situation where they absolutely could not get a hold of you (not likely) then that's so irritating and irresponsible and I wouldn't want them watching my kid then anyway if that's how they conduct themselves.
@leighry I have no idea why they didn't answer or call me back, I still haven't heard from either of them. And my last interview also no showed. I don't get it. Why bother setting up a time with me if you aren't really interested in the job??? I think I'm going to end up writing a review; nothing nasty but something so other moms know to beware.

Not necessarily, if you have the options version you can take them out. I guess it would depend on how much air your baby sucks in, and if they spit up a lot.

I was just going to say the same thing. I'm also using all parts still and plan to keep it up
Is there really a difference between a nightgown and a sleep sack? Does the bottom being open make a difference as far as keeping them from waking up? Or is it more about warmth?
Nightgowns can ride up exposing their legs at night. The sleep sack is more of a wearable blanket. So if you're not worried about keeping LO warm at night then a nightgown is probably fine.
Should I be nursing any differently now that LO is getting older? I still hold him the same way and everything as when he was younger. DO you make any changes to positioning etc?

I just do what is comfortable for us. Some times she gets so distracted, the best thing is for me to bring her in my bed where its quiet and BF side lying which we also do in the MOTN.
those who FF how in the world do you calm your baby from a major meltdown? I was thinking this last night as mine woke up from flipping over, and went to full on meltdown mode because his room reeked of poop so I had to change him and his outfit and he was not having it. It was his biggest, hardest meltdown I think and thank god I could just use the boob. No amount of bouncing or shushing would have calmed him down. How do you do it without the boob? I know that sounds silly to ask but it really is a concern of mine for stopping BFing especially since he is hard to calm even with his small fussing at night but nursing him works.

@tvh1982 Aww, that's so cute.
Come to think of it though, S does like to give kisses. She doesn't know how to pucker up, but when I say kisses, she brings her mouth to mine.
