DH lost my only PW wetbag while out walking the dog and DS today. I think he overstuffed the stroller basket with groceries and the wetbag must have fallen out the other side. I think my Totsbots Sealife and a Simplex were in it.

*stuck in the box*

Oh no I'm so sorry! Does this mean he owes you two new diapers and a wet bag?

Actually there was another wet bag inside of it along with my wipe container and a tube of Waxelene. Oh yeah I'm going to buy some new stuff. After I do my due diligence tomorrow.

SAK. I would pump as much as possible before then (are you sure you can't pump enough by then?) and prepare for lots of nursing when you get home. I wouldn't give milk that I knew would hurt his belly later. And I wouldn't do formula.

And make sure your mom (MIL?) know to feed him super slowly.

Stoney, you just sent me scrambling to our brand new bag of pirates booty that I already know I cannot eat.

MK, it's the Tings that are dairy free and So Yummy! But they're manufactured in a facility with dairy.

P has been yelling at my boob all weekend. Is she annoyed that my boob is slower than a bottle?

Ha ha. G used to do that. For him the answer was yes. We switched side very often.

No, she's mad at your boobs for leaving wet towels on the floor AGAIN.

Long shot, but is donor milk an option? My friend has an oversupply and donates pretty regularly. She's dairy, and I think soy free too.

TJ1979 · September 2014

LLOL @unaveragejane‌!

Mandmeesh · September 2014

so a few nights of horrible sleep you say????

my poor kid has FOUR teeth coming in at the same time! No wonder he wanted to nurse for all hours those nights

I just made this to snack on. My darn kids have already eaten half of it. So yummy.

What Mapleme said. Also, I assume the oil helps it get all brown and crunchy on top. I've used melted coconut oil before and that's good, too.

bumpuser9353653 · September 2014

Oh no, Meesh, teething is the worst. Hope everyone gets some relief and sleep soon!

unaveragejane · September 2014

L has started going 3 hours bn feeds some in the daytime, but after midnight he wakes every hour and a half to eat. And it takes at least 30-45 minutes to get him changed, fed, burped, and back to sleep. Then today he decided he was up for the day at 5am. I feel like I'm doing something wrong.

ETA Autocorrect changed that to buried, and I just caught it! Ack!

TJ1979 · September 2014

You aren't doing anything wrong Jane. He's just being a newborn. It gets better. I promise.

unaveragejane · September 2014

Chickypoo2468 said:

Jane, maybe try feeding him more during they day. Like every 2 hours when possible.

That's what I've been thinking about trying. If he gets his calories in during the day, he might not need to wake as much at night, right? I totally get that he's still little and will wake often, but I didn't anticipate it getting worse instead if better. On the plus side, DH has gotten up several nights to burp L when I was just too exhausted, and he hasn't complained about it.

TJ1979 · September 2014

I was so proud of myself... All 3 of us are up and dressed, I cooked breakfast, started the dishwasher, and was letting E watch Mickey on the iPad while I got dinner in the crockpot. When suddenly I realize... That's not Mickey I hear. She somehow got family guy! Not ok for a 2yo. Mommy fail.

Dear baby,

Screaming at my boob makes it really hard to relax enough for a good let down. This means no milk. Which means more screaming, which means more stress, which means no milk... And on and on in a vicious circle. Please stop being mad at my boob.

Thanks,
TJ (aka mommy)

I try to do this because I want him to keep his night and days straight.

Dear Mommy TJ,

I apologize for the distress you are feeling. I intended no harm; I'm simply singing the anthem of my people.

Love,
P

I'm watching girl meets world.

Pffff that doesn't help me at work.

Aren't you supposed to be parenting?

The Disney Channel IS parenting,

TJ1979 · September 2014

I'm in that miracle moment where both are napping. It's ok. Not as great as BMW.

TJ1979 · September 2014

Actually, now that I watch another episode, I'm annoyed. It has this terrible "father as a bumbling idiot, mother as a controlling b" dynamic that just isn't a good example of love and parenting for kids.
Plus the know-it-all do-gooder kids who run the household. Ridiculous.

TJ1979 · September 2014

Now that I'm watching my third episode, it does have a lot of that bmw feel to it.
Also I think this is crossing into FFMC territory.

Whatever, if your kids are still both sleeping - you can do whatever you want. Its your free day off!

Now I'm watching bmw while P nurses. Today is awesome.

unaveragejane · September 2014

L has caught N's cold and is super stuffy. This makes me wonder 2 things:
-Do babies ever mouth breathe?
-is there a trick to sleeping upright with a baby on one's chest if he won't sleep in the RNP?
Side note...I am so tired I legitimately feel tipsy. Fatigue is my new wine cooler. Haut dawg!

I prop myself up on 2 pillows on the couch (I Find that it is helpful to have the support of the back of the couch at least on one side.) And put a blanket or sheet over us both. But use my arms to kind of keep him "faux swaddled" then fold my hands together over His butt.

My little guy is a big chest sleeper

TugboatSheila · September 2014

By faux swaddled I just mean my arms along each side of his body keeps him contained and feeling safe.

mrshudson618 · September 2014

WTF is with my kid waking up with a poopy diaper? It has become a regular thing now, and its always really gross and gets out the prefold onto the extra inserts and cover and everything.

@stringy813 hugs. I hate that feeling of being ready to give up, but knowing that you can't.

TJ1979 · September 2014

Hugs stringy and jane.

bumpuser9353653 · September 2014

@mrshudson618‌ - R went through a phase like that. I think she was waking up quietly, then pooping, then calling for us. Drove us crazy. Luckily it was just a phase.

bumpuser9353653 · September 2014

Also, if your kid can talk in full sentences, take.the.paci.away.

Maybe this is my early UO, but I'm sitting in the waiting room at the pediatrician and this 2 1/2 (ish) yr old is talking with a paci in her mouth and it drives me crazy. So does the mom baby-taking to her.
