Replying to: How does LO go to bed ? DS has a bath and usually a 6oz bottle before bed. Lately he's gotten into the habit that he doesn't want to go straight to bed so I've been holding him for about 10 minutes after his bottle. He's fully awake but it seems to help him mellow out. Then I'll put him into his crib and turn on his ocean wonders.. give him his paci and he rolls over on his side and knocks out....

Replying to: How does LO go to bed ? My DD used to always fall asleep nursing and I'd just lay her down and she'd stay asleep but for the last couple of months, she usually nurses and is still awake so I will rock her for a minute or two but she's usually trying to stand up on me and look around so if she's doing that, into the crib she goes. If she will lay her head down and cuddle, I will hold her but that almost NEVER...

Replying to: sister vent that would bother me (about MIL complaining but then not even asking to hold her!), but you're right not to let it get to you too much.

Replying to: Playtex Drop-Ins When we used them we liked the silicone better, well, Ellie liked the silicone better. We stopped for 2 reasons. 1. bags started breaking, I think there was something wrong with the box of them, a weakness or something. 2. It was hard for us to measure, it didn't seem accurate, the ounces that is.

Replying to: Crawling! That's great! Chloe Jo seems to be on the verge, but she likes standing better. My family says that she is going to walk before she crawls. I don't know about all that but I'm hoping she does start crawling in the next few weeks! Lisa

Replying to: OT: Diaper size poll My bitty is 8 mos 2 weeks and is just now going into size 3 diapers- she is maybe 15 lbs- 16 at most and she is skinny but has some thigh action going on. I will tell you that it might be worth it to get some size 4s. She will likely stay in that size for a long period of time. Even if they are a little big big when you get into them, it will be worth it. Especially when it sounds like its inconenient to have...

So I'm just curious how your LO fall asleep ? Do you just put them down, rock them etc ... DS use to fall asleep while I gave him the bottle and then I'd just lay him down and he's stay asleep. Then I started putting him into his crib, giving him the bottle (I hold it for him), but recently I'm not sure how I got into the habit of rocking him to sleep but it's really starting to kill my back and he takes a long time...

Replying to: Another WIC questions... Did you find the pitcher? If so, have you used it and how do you like it?
