hallo spacedog posted:Well the baby is turning 6 months tomorrow and I'm a little intimidated by the idea of feeding her solids. Does anyone have feelings about baby led weaning vs purees and any book recommendations for either? The other thing would be she hasn't cut teeth yet at all and I'm iffy about her being able to sit well in a high chair yet so not sure if that means I should delay it or what? We've been giving our 8mo pretty much everything that's mildly soft for at least a month or two. Baked sweet potato spears are her favorite, any sort of bread a close second. She has no teeth yet, but shredded a chicken breast and consumed it without difficulty. Usually we give her the non-spiced things we're eating for dinner, and some sorta puree depending on what daycare gave her for lunch and/or how constipated she is.

The whorehopper has politely informed us that the school misinformed us about the time she was dropped off at and said "oh this is a new routine don't worry". Motherfucker literally went "the administrators lied to you" and the gaslighting farthuffer had the gall to end his message with "have a blessed day". *edit* "Mrs beatnik you said under oath that your daughter was dropped off an hour late but the school has her only being 58 minutes late.

Goofus can't be arsed to do the bare minimum with regards to his daughter's schooling. Gallant reaches out to his daughter's teacher for fun assignments to do with her at home. Goofus snoozes through all of the various school meet-ups. Gallant and his wife are in regular contact with the teachers. Goofus expects others to do work for him. Gallant and his wife are careful to cultivate a working relationship with school officials. Goofus claims that his daughter, who is in therapy, is perfectly fine and content despite all evidence to the contrary. Gallant carefully and impartially lays out the difficulties his daughter faces but also highlights her strengths to ensure she gets support. Now, Gallant's able to pick his daughter up from school without having to deal with all the poo poo Goofus now does.

Oh good heavens *no* why would you think that? There's officially nothing going on. The courts have spoken. My wife and I would never dream of stepping on anyone's toes or doing anything other than passive coparents with my daughter's biodad. It is not our fault nor was it our intention for certain third parties to begin keeping an eye out for certain things and double checking stuff after a friendly chat with her teacher. Unrelatedly, the ogre toddler's officially two and his favorite thing to do is wrap his arms around my neck and snuggle in for a hug. citybeatnik fucked around with this message at 23:18 on Nov 19, 2021 |

The Pirate Captain posted:Does anyone have any thoughts about melatonin as a sleep aid? My daughter is 4 and when she doesn’t get enough sleep she acts out - yesterday she kicked her daycare teacher in the mouth. Normally she’s a very sweet child, not aggressive at all, but that all changes if she doesn’t sleep. sheri posted:There was some discussion of melatonin in this thread back in September. Yep. In most of the world it's considered a prescription drug, and generally treated with caution. The whole thing of it being a supplement (with poorly-regulated manufacturing) is fairly specific to the US/Canada. Like Sheri, I'd be hesitant to give it to a kid. And if I did, I would use it as a rare occasion thing, like for a night or two to reset a disrupted sleep pattern.

Toddler lost his poo poo for a full half hour. Why? Because we do not have swim pants. We have never had “swim pants”. Yet we had to insist that we get “swim pants” in order to go to swim class, where not only have we never worn “swim pants”, we also have never laid eyes upon another child wearing this elusive attire in the history of our three and a half years of life outside Mommy’s uterus.

Almost-three child made me so proud this morning when she looked at a pancake cut in half and said, "That's a D for Doggy!" Then immediately squandered it by following it up with "We're talking about numbers."  Of course not, still immensely proud.

Why? Because my mom wouldn’t put the Beauty and the Beast sheets on my bed. We never owned any Beauty and the Beast sheets. I was sure we did that day and am now pretty convinced I had a realistic dream. As a parent I now experience this memory differently.

Once again that just proves that "i hope your kids grow up like you did" is a curse and not a blessing. Further adventures in my life? Horsefucker finally went "um well okay going to talk to a cardiologist about the vaccine stuff you bombarded me with, yeah totally going to do that." Oddly enough it's been radio silence ever since we went "we'll follow up with you after the consultation. Please give us the doctor's name and the date/time." "Oh here's the homework [daughter] did with us that lists my name first and you guys last! Just going to upload it to Our Family Wizard to show off how loving amazing I am and how much she prefers being over here!" "... dude you do realize that we can tell when it's not her handwriting, right? That's not how she draws people or writes out our or her names." Seriously. We have a stack of her homework from throughout the year plus all the random "i <3 X" notes she leaves us and it's as clear as day. Different i's, g's, you name it.

The guy's a malignant narcissist and the only popularity contest he cares about is with himself. Dude literally turned us following the advice of our daughter's therapist - be truthful, allow her to feel her feelings - into a bludgeon to hit my wife over the head with. Guy cried foul of us sending him pictures of him returning our daughter dirty and with scratches as "they're documenting everything about her that's terrible" while brushing off all the recordings and videos he claimed to make of her saying bad things about her as "i never said that/i'd never do that" while we had his messages up on screen. Anyway. The ogre toddler's been a little less of a butt today and we took him out on his tricycle stroller. Lots of ooo's and ah's from neighbors. We're having my sister's family and my parents over for turkeyday lunch as well. We're also setting up plans for revamping both kids' rooms. My daughter's future loft bed has a slide!

I started telling mini pony that I'm going to clean his nose before I do it and that helped so much it isn't even funny. Just a quick "I'm going to wipe you nose, it will just take a moment" is all it took for him, I couldn't believe it.

The ogre toddler just turned two so I'm not sure how much of this is him being a patoot. He understands what we say, he just doesn't seem to care. Also working on discipline which is going about as well as you'd expect. His 2 year check up's tomorrow morning so that'll be fun. It'll also give me a chance to fill in my daughter's pediatrician on the stupidity horsehumper's putting us through.

Agreed. I wish mine would stop whining when we give him an at-home Covid test that involves…swirling a swab in each nostril. The horror! On that front we are pretty sure he has strep, his fever almost came back but stopped at 99.4 so he didn’t quite develop a fever. That said, he was not feeling well yesterday and we called nurse triage, who had us make an appointment and really harped on the idea that we should check him for Covid via PCR testing at drive through, because I told her his classroom at preschool had had a Covid exposure. I guess Covid can manifest as just a fever and vomiting, excluding the normal telltale signs completely, so now we are nervous as gently caress because we sent him back to preschool this past Thursday and Friday after he was home three days and his fever dissipated naturally (though he threw up a few more times and has complained a few times of his tummy hurting).

My baby does an excited little wiggle dance and big open mouth face-plant kisses nearly every time I pick him up and it’s super cute  It’s crazy how much even those little things can differ between kids and how young it starts. Nature vs nurture is wild.

I swear one day a couple weeks ago while I was playing with her in front of the mirror, she pulled my face to hers and planted a big sloppy open-mouth baby kiss on my cheek, on purpose. She is 7mo so not sure how deliberate she could have been, but either way I could have melted into a small puddle right there, it was so loving adorable.

I am having to learn all new hair care routines and products that were never even remotely in my line of sight before. That whole skipping generations things for traits is turning out to be quite accurate for my life. I have a very unknown percentage of black ancestry in myself (Appalachian mountain folk didn't keep real great records), and my partner is Native American and white and "We have no idea, there are no adoption records we just know they were adopted". Which has come down to my partner looking very mixed race, myself clocking as white usually but randomly as Hispanic because ???, and a child that can best be visually described as Alarmingly White. Except for his hair. His hair has changed over time and has ended up with a mix of traits I've never had to deal with before. Thankfully, my coworkers have been really open to giving me advice following my "please help, his hair is dryer than the desert" pleas.

My newborn is in the NICU on a ventilator and about to have an MRI. He had his first helicopter ride at 2 hours old. The pregnancy was great. It’s our first child and my wife’s body did just fine. No real issues, nothing of merit to worry about… during labor baby kept going into deceleration on contractions. Nothing too severe, but at +20h from water breaking they decided to do a caesarean. Baby’s heart rate was ~150 and stable right before they wheeled my wife over to the OR. 10 minutes later I watched the nurse put a blue baby on the cart and a team of doctors and nurses performing a resuscitation. CPR + intubation and every siren in the room going off. That room went from 5 calm staff to 20+ people in full chaos mode before I could fully realize the gravity myself. They flew him over to a NICU with a cooling unit. He just finished 72 hours cooled to 32c, and is now at just about normal temp. His heart is strong, his O2 sats are good, and he’s consistently over-breathing the vent on his own. But he still doesn’t move much. He’s reactive to touch and grimaces at being poked and prodded, but otherwise its like looking at the calmest sleeping baby you’ve ever seen. This is the hardest thing I’ve ever been through. I’m so scared. eta: My wife is recovering well and is being as strong as she can be. Hibajubwa fucked around with this message at 19:27 on Nov 21, 2021 |

That is scary as hell. My wife had an emergency C section while being monitored on pitocin and I remember how insanely frightening it was to have the room just be bum rushed by a dozen people and then 2 minutes later I’m alone in there sobbing. They can do incredible things in the NICU these days, I think more of my friends’ and I’s kids spent time in there than didn’t. I hope everything gets better and you are hugging your little one soon.
