Life With a Babe | Forum profile

Ohhh I hate when we get to family's house and they are all grabby and in Liam's face.... Luckily he is pretty ok with it now, he loves the attention. But when he was younger he would just scream from all of the overstimulation. Could you sit in the car and nurse him for a few minutes before you go into your family's house? It will pass, don't worry... I am hoping to not get any 'spoiled' comments tomorrow from my...

Nope, not spoiling at all! My son still doesn't tolerate strollers for very long at 4 months, but does a bit better. He also does better with laying on the floor or sitting in other baby contraptions, but overall he still prefers being held. When he was younger he hated being held by people he didn't know and had to have me around.

We've been taking DD to a chiro to work on her latch problems. The chiropractor just uses her fingertips to massage DD's jaw and cervical spine. Very light pressure, but baby has a big response. Sometimes DD HATES it but latches on really well after, sometimes she tolerates it and latches on really well after. It's usually over in about 15 minutes.

Whoops, it seems most of my responses were deleted because they contained that forbidden info. No criticism, I'm just trying to remember what else I said, lol! I can't wait for that new feature! We can have our own group again and not one long thread. Yay!!!

We do breakfast and dinner and usually some snacking depending on the day. DD still doesn't eat a ton. It's all finger foods bc she refuses everything off of a spoon and she is really really picky about what she will eat..though she is getting a bit better and perhaps more interested in eating. She did try everything I gave her on thanksgiving and ate sweet potato and mashed potato off my fork...I was impressed. Mostly I was...

We follow a BLW approach so the kiddos start out with whatever the rest of the family is having, minus any major allergens (the top 8 plus honey). DD1 has celiac so we follow a gluten free diet, and we don't eat red meat/pork/fish, but other than that they can explore whatever is on the table. Some cultures have meat as a first food, and the LLL actually suggests this as well. They (the LLL website) have a nicely written article about...

We nurse quite a bit still. Sometimes during the day we don't nurse as much as we probably should - because we end up making up for it at night! It's just sometimes we are busy during the day. But I would say it's about every 3 hours. We've never been on a schedule. I worry when he doesn't nurse as much as he should during the day, because we do blw and he doesn't ever seem to eat very much. So I want to make sure...

You could also try some sort of activity gym/mobile that hangs above her. We get a lot of mileage out of annoying singing things, too. (RARE around here...we don't even usually watch TV). Anyway, if she rolls, and the toys are attached above her, she looses them. If it's just something in her hand then she can take it with her... eta: wanted to be clear I wasn't saying to TAKE a toy from a baby for rolling over. I was saying...

Nope!
