    Wow. I yell at DH if he tickles LO too much cause I think she's too young and has no control yet. 
    This is me! When I find where she is ticklish, I totally debate whether or not to tell him because I worry how much he'll do it when I'm not around. He LOVES to make her laugh, so he has no control.

    Let's put it this way, I pat on his butt harder when I'm rocking him to sleep at night!!!! And I also tickle the shit out of him!

    Wait, what? Why is tickling bad? I'm so confused...
    Some people are more sensitive to tickling than others and it bothers them if you tickle them too much. I know I used to get mad when DH would tickle me and I would tell him to stop and he wouldn't listen. A baby can't speak up for itself. DH was tickling DS last night and got him laughing like crazy and it was so cute but I was a little worried he was overdoing it because he went from giggling to lots of silent laughter like he just couldn't take it anymore.

    I don't think it's bad--it's more that they can't verbalize how they are feeling about it yet. Did you ever experience someone tickling you so much you couldn't breathe and/or it hurt, but they kept going because you were laughing uncontrollably so they thought you were enjoying it? That's what I imagine could happen when they are this little.

    I do it for a few seconds. My H will do it for as long as he can.

    Tickling isn't bad. I tickle LO to make her laugh. I just think tickling for a long time is kinda mean. Babies don't have enough reflex to push you away if they don't like it anymore and basically just have to lay there and take it.

    Maybe it's just cause I have always hated being tickled!

    ETA I don't think reflex is the word I was looking for but hoping you still get what I'm trying to say.

    How do you ladies get them to stay up?? Maybe it's a personal problem, since I totally ended up with flat-mom-jeans-ass after DH was born. I mean, not that I had a nice one to begin with, but it was something and now I have nothing. So I have seriously contemplated adding belt loops to my maternity skinny  jeans. I can't find any that fit the way they do! Every time I try to wear them, I show some serious crack. DH likes to shove random things there when I'm playing with DS (remote, hairbrush, pen, luckily not a peen), so I've had to give them up.  :((

    Edit for quote fail


    Ha! I'm wearing the full panel ones too lol. To my defense DH dried them one time and they shrunk so I only wore them once when I was pregnant because they were too tight but now they fit perfect lol. I guess my gut and butt is what's holding them up. Oh well, more Halloween candy for me then! ;)

    Oh I guess I just didn't put two and two together. E is a very serious baby and we can barely everrrr make him laugh but we do know a few ticklish spots. But we've never done it for more than a second, mostly because he stops laughing after once or twice. So, so serious.

    E is a serious baby. My nephew on the other hand (just two weeks younger) smiles and laughs ALL the time and at everyone. I guess my FFFC is that I'm a tad envious at times.

    Oh how I missed Fridays! I really need to check in more often...and figure out how to change my siggy...but thats another day.

    My FFFC is: So I'm able to bring baby to work and we have a "cozy room" that has couches and a radio in it and I'm able to shut the door so no one can come in while I'm nursing or baby is napping. The confession part is, is that this new lady we hired gets on my (and everyone's nerves) because she's so anal and depressing, I feel bad and try to be nice and boost her up but it is hopeless. So I usually stay in the cozy room a few minutes longer after nursing just because I don't want to go out and sit in the office with her right away. 
    You are the first other mom on here I've seen that can bring baby to work. Hows it going?

    We have good days and then there are days when naps don't go as planned. I'm lucky in that I really don't have to do much work now that the other lady is here. I kind of more just babysit her because she's new so she can ask me what to do. But its good. A plays on her blanket or in her exersaucer next to me or goes and takes a nap in the cozy room. Our office is an old house so the setup is perfect for us. 
    How is it going for you? 

    She hates to nap because she'd much rather see what my students are up to. It has gone much better than I anticipated and has been a great experience for all. That being said, I guess my fffc is that I'm kinda looking forward to her turning 6 months and having to go to daycare. My days will be much easier in some ways.
    I can definitely see where you're coming from! Don't feel badly.  lol

    My Fffc is that now that lo is 5 months old, some days I find myself fantasizing about not bf-ing much longer (my original goal was EBF for 6 months then switch to formula as we intro solids) and the freedoms/changes I will have, like being able to wear a normal bra, not having to wear leak pads, use my powerful zit cream (not bf-approved), making DH get up and feed her in the early mornings... Then I feel guilty/selfish for feeling that way. Then the next day I wake up and think, I can bf for a year, this is no big deal.

    Had I known, I really wish I had pumped like mad early on to get a huge stash, to last throughout the first year. Right now I only have 2 bottles worth in the freezer, and I'm not sure it would work if i were to start a crazy pumping schedule now.

    I hope I don't tickle too much. I do it in spurts, to give him a chance to laugh/react. After a few, he usually stops laughing so I stop too. Now I'm going to pay more attention.

    You probably don't--especially since you are following his cues. My H julove ants to make her laugh so much that he keeps going and hopes for the next wave of giggles.

    I agree and my H is the same way. He just wants to make her laugh so bad and he keeps going until she starts grunting and making faces and then I'm like ok, ok enough! haha

    She is so easy to make smile but impossible to make laugh. What she finds funny once is never funny again either lol

    Lexie loves to watch tv. I keep it off most of the day until I start going crazy with the silence, but when it's on she squirms and wiggles until she can see it, and I just let her watch at that point. Now I'm using it to try to get her to roll over.
    She is here! 5-29-13

    I can't tell you how many times I have created a post/reply and when reading it thought, "this is lame. Cancel." I have started so many posts that never made it to the light of day because it sounded better in my head.

    Spanking a 5 month old? Even if it was a little pat, the fact that someone would think that's ok is beyond me.
    Oh see I thought she meant her older child. Still not a fan of spanking but maybe she was talking about like an 8 year old. I can't even imagine how spanking a five month old would result in anything but tears. The other day I accidentally pulled my arm out of my sweater toohard a barely grazed C and she wailed for like twenty minutes. Spanking a five month old just doesn't work. She must have meant an older child. ::rocks back and forth repeating the last sentence::
    I went back to double check that Hudson was the name of her 5 month old and unfortunately, yes, she was referring to him and not another child. I have no words.

    Ugh. Bad mom moment. I let G sit up like a big boy in the corner of our big cushy chair for his 5 month picture today. He toppled to his side in slow motion, and for some reason my brain thought he was going to land on the seat fully, but he's too long for that now, and he caught his head on the (very padded cushioned) arm. But his shoulder dropped to the seat cushion, making his neck bend fully to his other side.

    He didn't cry, so I'm sure he's fine.

    But seriously, why did I think it was ok to let him topple sideways? Whose brain is in my head right now? I guess I'm just so used to how innocent his face plants on the bed are, that I didn't react properly.

    I'm so not ready for the hazards of standing, walking, running.

    Funny story my BIL gets an asthma attack if you tickle him. So we had to tell my nephews that their daddy was nt ticklish at all so they wouldn't tickle him. If you even make tickle fingers in front I him he starts dying of laughter.

    I am not trying to jump on you but I think you need to explain to your DH that a baby does not understand right or wrong so a tap, nudge, spank is not appropriate. Spanking is only appropriate when a child is acting out and doing something they know is incorrect.  A 5 month old is not even close to being in that realm. I am sure that he did it just to get his attention but you need to use an alternate way of doing that. I make loud high pitched babble to snap my LO's attention out of fussing. Maybe try that.

    So for me it isn't the intensity with which you hit a child cause my momma used to spank us and it never hurt, but it was effective nonetheless. It's the fact that you were using physical punishment to discipline a 5 month old that is giving me the creeps. Call me judgey and flame the crap out of me but can a 5 month old really understand that you are hurting them to teach them a lesson. Do they have that logic to understand that they did something wrong? Can a five month old do something wrong? I mean other than pull your hair or use your nipple as a teething toy and both of those don't warrant a smack. But then I don't smack my dog and she shits on my bed if we let her upstairs so maybe I'm a bad disciplinarian.

    I agree with everyone who disagrees with punishing a 5 month old. It's just not right. I had to comment, and will be back to comment further.

    My FFFC is that when LO is playing on his quilt, doing tummy time or whatever and he spits up, I often times don't stop the dog when she runs right over to "clean it up." I know, it's pretty disgusting of me. I guess I'm also turning savage like @AllieAGame. But I figure Mama dogs lick up their puppies' poo, and eat their afterbirth. So a little breast milk regurgitation isn't gonna hurt her. And she's just trying to be mothering and help, right? ;)

    This was my fffc a couple weeks ago. You're in good company.
    Oh good! Sorry I didn't remember yours! lol
