  • I'm still waiting for the other shoe to drop... Aiden went to bed on time, did a dream feed at 10:45, woke up at 2:30 to eat, woke up an hour early like always and had to be put back down. Now he's napping during his first scheduled nap time. I'm afraid - this is going too well!

  • I think Quinn is part falcon. He won't stop scratching his face! I've cut his nails and everything, I have no clue how he does this.

    Woke up to that this morning after he worked his right arm free from the swaddle. Great.

    @dani+california‌ my lo did the same thing until about a week ago. He wore mittens for the first month . Now his nails are a bit harder and it's easier . I trim them every four days and file them after I trim them and in between trimmings. I found it didn't really matte though the first month cause his nails were so soft they scratched easily. Now they are harder and he hasn't scratched himself since
    If it makes you feel any better out of the dozen scratches he gave himself they all healed quickly and left no mark.
    Also found mittens that didn't look girly at the bay at the o.c

  • Finally caught up from missing yesterday (seriously, 200 posts in one day? Nicely done ladies).

    There's no way Deidre is a troll. She's too freaking awesome. 

    Uhm...what else? Mamas with mastitis and ouchy boobs -- start on marshmallow root! It'll help stave off mastitis from occurring or reoccurring. 

    Has anyone tried tummy massages for gassy babies? It might be something we could all experiment with.

    LOVE the youtube vid of the moby wrap with legs out.

    Annnd oh...baby calls. <3s to you all!
    I tried a tummy massage last night (we were so desperate for the poor guy!) And he got even more pissed. I wonder if I was doing it wrong?
    I'm not sure how to do the tummy massage either. Maybe this is worthy of its own thread?

  • Does anyone else's LO get a purple strip on their forehead when they're squeezing to fart/poop? I can only assume it has to do with his skull not being fused yet, but I was hoping it would go away by now..

    Couldn't it just be a vein in their forehead from straining?

    Did they have a stork bite when they were born? DD had one and it gets waaay darker when shes straining.

  • I had a dream that LO's face was covered in scabs (eyes included) so I sprayed them with breastmilk and it cleared up immediately.

  • @poppyseedwindsor a stork bite is the name given to the birthmarks that appear on the forehead and or back of the neck that typically fade and disappear overtime. they are in the spots where a stork would grab them to deliver them.

    @mrsstanton87 hmm I have no idea then. I don't think there would be a plate right there but I have no idea about baby anatomy... when is his next pedi appt? It is probably nothing but I would still mention it.

  • 1. I put white hot chocolate mix in my coffee and it rules.

    2. Started my period, fml.
  • @MrsStanton87‌ B has a stork bite on her forehead, but when she turns red from crying or straining, it looks like she has a purple bruise/knot on her forehead. It freaked me out, but it goes away when she is relaxed
  • @dani+california where in Canada are you? All my favorite HGTV shows are in Canada and I always think of you

  • Stupid parents drive me insane! In sure you all have seen on fb how the "nap nanny" that got recalled in 2013 was responsible for the death of an 8 month old recently. Well a friend from college posted this then and now picture of his daughter in a nap nanny! And when someone points out that it has been recalled, both him and his wife say "oh we know. Someone told us we had to have one so we found it at a garage sale...hahaha"

    Seriously?!?! I will never understand how a parent can knowingly put their child at risk...

    Lo is 7 weeks and just had a dark green poop.. Still the same consistency as always just a color change.. Thoughts?

    Can be a fore milk hind milk inbalance

    Or I noticed LO had green poops when I ate coco puffs... So could be a diet thing. Did you have a recent change in diet?
    No, maybe working out? Not enough water?

    After being gone all weekend and pissing me off when he finally got home last night, DH just texted to say he canceled the rest of his day (can't fly in a thunderstorm) and is coming home early. 1) I gave him the grocery list so I don't have to stop when I pick up my sister tomorrow. 2) I'm putting him in charge while I drink, soak in the tub, and then nap as soon as he gets home. I'm gonna go pump in anticipation of my afternoon break! Of course, this is happening on a good day for A. He's been napping most of the morning and played in his baby gym the rest of the time (except while nursing).
    This sounds like an amazing afternoon!!!  I hope you get to enjoy it!!

  • Wonder weeks, growth spurts...what the fuck ever. Emma must be doing both of these every week of her life. She's always cranky, always hungry and hates to sleep with a fiery passion. If one more person suggests EASY to me, I will rip their fucking heads off. The concept sounds great, but who's going to keep this kid sleeping? I look at all of the naps on the sample EASY plan and just laugh. Emma has never slept that much during the day in her whole life. She may nap that long in a week, never a day.

  • @fourthnlast‌ that totally stinks for you! I've noticed Olivia seems to go through the growth spurt and then the leap so it seems like we have a bunch of crappy days as well.

    I hope Emma takes a nap for you soon. Or you can get a break somehow.
