There's no safe way to put a cat in a paper bag!!

I have a few Jujube diaper bags that I love but they're pricey.

Jujube would be my recommendation too. I have the BFF model, and it has a carry handle, a shoulder strap or backpack straps, so you can convert it to whatever works best for you at the time. I've used mine daily for 13 months now, and it's in great shape. It's also machine-washable, because all of those expensive diaper bags that say "dry clean only" can go to hell.

Has anyone here ever used the "tie chair" fabric things that are supposed to work like a high chair?

I cant tell from the photos, but it seems to me like a kid could still very easily throw themselves off of the chair in one of those. It looks like I might be driving coast-to-coast with a 14-month old, and I'm not going to have room for a lot of crap in the car.

How in the world do you give a wriggly 9 month old liquid medicine that tastes and smells like grape flavored sewer water? She's no fool and she's onto my shenanigans so a sneak attack doesn't really work. I try to get the syringe in her mouth and she clamps down tight. If I get any in her inside cheek, she spits it right out. I tried forcing it tonight and she ended up gagging on it and coughed for the rest of the night so I feel like a jerk. She's got to take this antibiotic 3x a day for 2 weeks and it is not going well. Help?

I pureed some pears and added enough water to make it a sort-of-thick drink and mixed medicine in with that. He drank it from a cup. I don't know why, but my little dude would deal with almost anything mixed with pear puree/juice. Tried mixing it with apple and other things and it was a no-go.

Thirding that dad has issues.

But I too am hard at work, turning my son gay. Turning him into a tiny Elton John...

My 16 month old still only sleeps through the night about 5 nights a week. Some kids just sleep better than others. I'm just waiting it out, he's unlikely to keep it up forever.

On the other hand, I know that starting babies on purees earlier won't help them sleep, but now that my kid is older, what he eats before he goes to bed definitely impacts his sleep. If I feed him fruit before bed, he will almost always wake up crying and wanting to nurse in the middle of the night. If I feed him oatmeal, he sleeps through around 75% of the time. But then if I don't eat something late at night, I wake up in the middle of the night with my belly rumbling too, so maybe it just runs in the family.
