cailleask posted:Exclusive meaning if they had milk, it was breast milk, and they nursed. Neither was particularly interested in bottles. They ate regular food of course at the usual milestones and ages. Ah, right-o. I almost got worried, because a kid over 6 months or so would start developing pretty severe deficiencies if they didn't have solids. Like, the iron deficiency for instance would be really problematic.

I'm pretty sure the medical unity uses exclusively breastfed per this definition: "Exclusive breastfeeding means feeding your baby only breast milk, not any other foods or liquids (including infant formula or water), except for medications or vitamin and mineral supplements."

Mind_Taker posted:90 days?? I assume this is COVID? Yep. We had it on May 4th. Daycare required negative tests for all people in the household. Wife and I cleared a few weeks after we all had it. Daughter, who had barely a sniffle, kept testing positive. We had already paid for May and paid for June hoping she'd clear. Luckily we did not pay for July.

My daughter pooped in the potty for the first time today! She made us close the bathroom door and everything, yelling GO AWAY GO AWAY GO AWAY. She's very proud of it. She ran around in circles yelling I poo poo, I poo poo, I poo poo Looked like a whopper candy drop

My daughter has been pooping on the potty for a few weeks now. She waves and says "bye poo-poo" to her poop when it gets flushed down the toilet. My son is still not comfortable on the potty either at home or in daycare, but we're hoping he'll get there as he sees his sister and his friends in class keep using the potty.

My wife's work wanted the baby to have a negative test, wait a week, then have my wife produce a negative test. To go to an office with no one on her team. Great move guys. Anyway, after an over night at the children's hospital and about four more days, she's back to normal and making up time on walking and talking oh god.

The CDC says that testing positive is possible for 90+ days. I had the worst of it out of all of us and it's frustrating how lovely this county (US) makes it when it comes to parenting. We're lucky in that I have a state job so leave is liberal and the in-laws are right down the street and retired. External Organs posted:My daughter pooped in the potty for the first time today! We need to know the secrets, this kid has been peeing no problem for months now, advantage of her being home, but refuses to poop on it. She did once, she got her present and won't go back and do it again.

It's not too early to start putting him on the potty at 17 months, and it sounds like you have an excellent opportunity here, before going in the bath. It's how we got our start on potty training. If he finds it boring/annoying, read a picture book.

If he finds it boring/annoying, read a picture book. His schedule has since shifted. He now poops twice a day: as he is waking from sleep and as he wakes from his nap. Of course, we’re not going to wake him from his nap to put him on the potty. But when we decide to start the potty journey, a post-wakeup potty time is definitely in the cards. He sees his sister use the potty and has some interest doing it himself. But as a family we’ve had a couple months of sickness/covid so transitioning to potty training is low on the priority list.

Oh boy. It is finally dawning on my son that we are not kidding about getting his weight under control. Autism + Change is usually never a good combo, and he is melting down pretty good right now. But he's pretty overweight and well, it needs to be handled while he's still young, before it bites him in the rear end ten or so years down the road.

I wouldn’t give any of them back but drat if parenting isn’t so much easier when you only have 2/3 of the kids. Like, it doesn’t even matter which one you take away, it’s just automatically easier by an order of magnitude. If you are reading this, have two, and want a third….think long and hard about it. We didn’t have a choice with a twofer on the second try but yeah… devmd01 fucked around with this message at 20:35 on Aug 13, 2022 |

Yeah we have our hands full with just two of them. One child per parent. Can't even imagine another one running loose while trying to wrangle two of them.

We both always said “2, maybe 3.” And now we’re seeing the amount of work “maybe” was doing in that sentence. I’m ready to be done and focus on the two we have, she feels sad at being done with babies and wants one more.

With our youngest at almost 18mo and our elder at 3y, I feel free of the postpartum fog and body bs, able to get enough sleep to feel functional at work and ready to finally go back to school. I’m even able to do a little bit of hobby stuff. We’re planning on waiting about 2 more years (lol daycare $$$). While I’m mostly on board I know it’s going to be brutally brutal to go back to the baby/young toddler phase after we leave it and it already makes me a bit uneasy to think about.

It feels like we just got into a solid rhythm with an 18mo and I’m pretty stressed about going back to negative square 1 with another on the way. My wife will be 35 when no.2 is born, so having another might be more of a risk.

We are watching my sister's two kids this weekend (6,3) and it's amazing how needy a three year old is! And he's a totally typical three year old, but our kid is 9 and it is jarring the difference in neediness and independence. How quickly you forgot!

Oh man I’m in the throes if the 2 vs 3 thing. My two are both going to be in elementary school in the fall now, and I desperately miss having a baby in the house. We have space and money, and… maaaaybe time? I don’t want too big of an age gap so I feel like we have to do it very soon if we’re going to do it ever.

wizzardstaff posted:The nuclear family was a mistake, change my mind. As someone married to someone from a large family that’s not nuclear: the grass is always greener. Sure, there are more hands to help out. On the flip side there is so much more drama. Imagine the stereotypical mother-in-law, and now imagine that your 4 sisters-in-law also have opinions about how you raise your child. And due to tradition you’re the lowest person on the totem pole, so it’s difficult if not impossible to speak up without hurting family relations. In my family’s culture at least the husband is expected to contribute exactly 0% to raising the child; it all falls to the women in the mother’s family. Normally women go to their mother’s house to give birth, and they may join their husbands at 3-6 months postpartum. My husband is great, but he’s definitely viewed as an oddball because he changes diapers and gives bottles to the baby. I know this is a bit of a rant, but it pains me to see the glamorization of either ‘traditional’ (Western) family structures or current non-Western family structures. They have their pros and cons, and it’s not as simple as ‘grandma lives nearby so she can help out’. I doubt women living in these arrangements were/are significantly happier than women today, and it’s worth examining the reasons why that’s the case.

My 2.5 year old wakes up every morning babbling about caca. I go into his room and he says “mama, caca!” I say “ok, you have some caca?” He says no. I say “you need to sit on the potty?” He says no and then keeps repeating mama caca. His diaper is clean. He doesn’t have to poop until hours later. WHY.

We're entering the middle-twos. big feelings about little things are starting to pop up, as well as "I know I shouldn't do this, but I'm gonna while smiling at you" stuff. I have neither the desire nor the ability to handle this 2x, much less the x^2 that I understand multiples to be.

We want a second one as a sibling to our 20 month old but dreading all the pregnancy/delivery poo poo. My wife has T1 diabetes and is therefore High Risk. She managed it mostly very well for the first one, with a normal A1C and 0 diabetic complications for baby. She had a couple very scary hypos but I was able to bring her blood sugar up. That was while we were both quarantined at home for the full 9 months, so I worry about her now that we would be going back to work. In addition to that, with the loss of Roe v Wade, our state has additional restrictions on abortion and I worry about having a medical choice made for us by dipshit politicians. In addition to that, T1D requires you to be induced at 38/39 weeks due to placental failure, so labor for 2nd one will likely suck rear end again. In addition to that, she had an extremely rare and bizarre complication post-partum where all her nerves became inflamed and she had to get carpal and cubital tunnel surgeries and now has permanent nerve damage and weakness. But our current kid is insanely cute and sweet and we both want another one. We’re also considering adoption/surrogacy to just skip the pregnancy and let someone better equipped handle it. Surrogacy feels bad to me though, because despite its astronomical price tag I feel like it’s still taking advantage of another woman’s body? I don’t mean to start a debate/derail, I haven’t really figured it out.
