With my first, I kept the 10 lbs on. We weaned when I found out i was pg with #2. However, this time around, I have continued to loose and am now back to pre baby (#1) weight. Although, the weight...
What is preventing you from playing? I was playing volleyball before getting pregnant with #1 and #2. I continued to play (co-ed drop in, not competitive) until the week before both kids were born....
I have 1 brother and want at least 3 kids in my family.
No experience, but I know our bodies are made to produce milk. You will have 2x the stimulation to build your supply when the milk comes in and I think you body will adjust. I have pumped with both...
I didn't want to read and not respond. I don't have experience with 4 year olds, But nothing you mentioned strikes me as odd. My 2.5 year old is similar. She loves her order and likes to play alone...
I didn't want to read and not respond. I am a regular pumper (since DS was about 3 months). On the days when I don't get enough for daycare then next day, I will try to pump just before I go to bed...
DD had hers done at 5 or 6 months. My mother took her to get it done, for us it is a cultural thing. It was done to my mother and me at the hospital for all little girls. Thankfully no issues with...
We were poop trained first very early. Mostly because DD was like clockwork and I knew when she was about to go and we would go sit and "catch the poo" in the potty. It was a few months later when...
My 1st had to be broken by the doctors at the hospital (stuck at 6cm). The second didn't break until I was ready to push. Then during my first push it exploded in grand fashion (picture whale coming...
We didn't have this issue, but I was aware it could happen. We cloth diaper so very early i would flush the poo from the diaper in the toilet. That way she got used to the toilet flushing sound and...
DD has cheese everyday. She varies on her milk. We give 2%. Sometimes it is a full 10oz, but other days she refuses. On average it is about 4-6oz a day. But lots of cheese and yogurt
I would buy the undies. She is ready. We had to change the question from "do you need to go potty?" (which would always be NO) to "are you dry and clean?" which would be YES, then we would go sit on...
Great questions. I would ask if there is any vacation weeks and if they are free or a reduced rate for vacation. Also, the weather policy (snow days up here) and if they will be open if schools are...
Just another idea, could it be thrush? After a round of abx, DS had thrush. About a month later, I finally got it. My symptoms were a deep pain (like a string) that didn't get better when nursing....
I get locked out at least once a month. Ususally I am loading her brother in the car and she is inside, closes the door and turns the deadbolt. Funny if it isn't happening to you when you are already...
We did the pinprick test on her back when she was 2. I explained what was going to happen and she sat on my lap and could hug me while she got poked. it wasn't until the last few that she started to...
We recently had thrush and it lowered my supply. I was able to get it back up by getting up early and pumping 1st thing in the morning. Just enough to get a bottle. Then when he woke up (30 min...
About 11 months with #1, still hasn't returned with #2 (6 months)
Can you stretch out her feedings? I have a 6 month old and he eats 3 times at daycare about 15oz. If she is gaining weight and meeting milestones, I would just pump and feed her what you pump. There...
I like to do things in moderation. Transition slowly has always worked better for me. I was never a big soda drinker, but if it is bothering you, I would cut back slowly. If you have 2/day then cut...
We added picking out clothes for the next day before bed. I am usually not in a rush and like others said, I will let her choose. If she is having a hard time, I will pick 2 outfits and let her pick....
So we are not there yet with the destructive behavior, but time outs didn't work for DD. she didn't get the point of a quiet corner or time out chair. She would sit there and enjoyed it. Now when she...
I also wanted to wean due to bfp to get a break before starting again. DD was 15months and I still had milk, but we did a lot of talking and reading about babies and how she was going to be a big...
I don't have little ones, but do you constantly have a snack out? or set eating times. For those that need the extra nutrition, have snacks out during the day and encourage them to eat a snack vs....
