May 2023 Babies

I am hitting pause on my career after getting my masters and working as a social worker and therapist to stay at home with my babies (3 & 1) for hopefully a couple of years. Daycare has been nothing short of a train wreck and we are pulling...

Hi! Has anyone found a good source for portion sizes for meals and snacks for a 12 month old? My daughter seems to eat a lot and is nearly always bloated. She’s also had constipation. We’ve done more water and all the recommended foods for constipation....

What are we using for our 1 year olds this summer? Last summer they were too young for sunscreens since it’s recommended for 6 months and up, plus I couldn’t had been bothered to go outside with a newborn last summer anyway lol.We are going...

Anyone swapped their little one to something besides whole milk? I’m having to supplement a bit because my supply has dropped. I’ve tried formula and she doesn’t drink that well. I tried introducing whole milk last week and we had some vomiting...

Found out today I have about 5-7 more years and there's a 50% chance I'll get a chronic muscle disease that's slow progressing but I would end up wheelchair bound and completely dependent on a caretaker.  My dad had it and my older brother was...

I need ideas! This 3 meals a day is exhausting and I’m running out of options! Please share some meal ideas you ladies make for your 1 year olds! Thank you ��

My pediatrician doesn’t ask any questions about milestones or anything he just checks the baby and asks if I have any questions. I’m a FTM and I’m concerned. LO can not eat solids he throws up a few minutes after eating. Dr said to just be patient...

How are we doing? ��Haha, but seriously my 12 month old has never slept through the whole night. I struggled really bad with it the first 4 months but now it’s just routine. To be fair, she’s had nights where she’s only woken up...

Can you mamas share pictures of what your LOs eat? And prep ideas how you cut to serve etc.

My baby’s pediatrician always recommends that I give her vitamin supplements, but I always skip it. She’s been breastfed from birth and eats super well. She’s growing perfectly and is healthy overall. I don’t know, I think it might be too many...

Long post, TW: corn.So I recently felt very convicted about something I did back when we first moved to our home we’re currently in now, back when I was still pretty early in pregnancy couple months past a year ago now. I think before we were...

I mean it’s kind of funny. But also really not funny lol. Anyone else’s kid do this? Do I need to be concerned about his ingesting this? He seems to spit it out but how do I get him to stop? Lol.

My son isn’t walking yet but when we practice with him I notice he toe walks. We don’t see his dr for his 1st year check up till the second week of June. Has any mamas had toe walking babies? Idk if it’s normal I’m at ftm and just wondering...

Has anyone had an unplanned pregnancy?  How long did it take you to come to terms with it and become excited?

Has anyone else’s baby experienced diarrhea and a bum rash from teething? My one year old has 12 teeth now, and has had some runnier poops before with teething but nothing like this. He has no other symptoms other than being cranky, but it’s...

We’re walking now and I can’t carry him when we’re out anymore bc he wants to be on the move!! He has vans and under armor sneakers and neither can I get his big potato foot in! I could tell the shoe itself if actually a bit big but his foot...

My son loves his bottle so much. He is fine with drinking whole milk if it’s in a bottle but if it’s in a sippy cup he refuses.

My daughter has had a nasty cough for about 2 months now, accompanied by a runny nose that comes and goes. She isn’t sleeping because she has hour long coughing fits that result in her vomitting ALOT. We have tried cool mist humidifiers and...

Does my baby look like she may have San Filippo ? I saw a tik tok of course then went down a rabbit hole ����‍♀️

I have an 11 month old boy who is turning 1 on May 10th. We are fast approaching, and yet we still aren't remotely close to crawling. At least that's what I'm seeing.He gets close to a table top pose, and can turn while sitting. Sometimes it...

My husband has been an amazing dad. Idk what to get him. He stayed home part time when I needed to work and is in total love with our son. I hit the Jack pot on someone so nurturing and loving. I’m pregnant again and he helps so much, letting...

Needing advice please. I’m so worried!So to make this as short as possible/ to sum up where we’re at, my daughter will be 1 at the end of May. I lost my job the week before starting back from maternity leave, & I have been home with her ever...

My LO just turned 1 on the 12th. He got his first two bottoms teeth’s @ 6 months and has yet to grow or show any signs of any news one coming out….. I’m making a dentist appointment soon to make sure we’re okay. Should I be a little worried?...

So I do not have grass - only an old porch that is definitely not safe for baby to fall on or try to scoot on without cutting their legs or getting splinters. Does anyone have any recommendations on how we can be outside on the porch while keeping...

Random but anyone tried this (drinking, applying it to face and hair etc) iv seen so many people talk about the benefits.. if anyone’s tried it I’d love to hear if it helped!

Hello!!Hoping to transition my little one from bottles during milk feeds to solely straw cups.He loves the munchkin weighted straw cup for his water but it is SO HARD TO CLEAN so I would prefer to not fill it with milk.Any suggestions on easy...

We might have an opportunity to go to Germany in October. My husband’s company goes to a convention. My mommy brain is running through a million logistics. I have an almost 3 year old and this baby. What do you do if you travel internationally?...

I’m a FTM and have seen multiple posts about bottles and sippy cups in cribs overnight. Is this a thing? Should I be leaving something with my LO throughout the night?He definitely wakes up thirsty in the morning and the first thing we do is...

I saw this and appreciated it. Wanted to share bc I think it’s a great message!

When I found out about being pregnant with my daughter I thought I couldn’t love anybody as much as I love my son. I’m so happy I was wrong. I love this baby soooo much. And I cannot believe she’s one.

Hey mamas, what are you guys using for skincare? Specifically, I am looking for an anti-wrinkle anti-aging cream or serum, which is pregnancy safe. These wrinkles came out of nowhere!

What safety gear do we need for our ~ 1 year olds for the pool?? Do they wear floaties now? I have a little seat for him or I hold him right now. But I’m wondering if I should get something else as summer is starting. TIA!!!

Has anyone’s LO has any type of side effects from the shots? My LO got her shots on Friday and now today Sunday she started getting bloody nose. Can that be normal?

This may be a stupid question but when weaning from breastfeeding, am I supposed to supplement that feed with a bottle? Or just stop all together? I nurse 4 times a day. When he wakes in the morning, and to put him down for his naps and then...

Can anyone relate or have advice. I’m loosing my mind.My daughter is the definition of a Velcro baby. She is always attached to me or needing to be around me. That part I am fine with. It is the getting her to sleep part. She still needs to...

Anyone else feel like they aged a bunch since they got pregnant? Anyone else having skin issues they can't seem to fix? My skin has always been on the dryer side and a little rosy, but now it is DRY and peely no matter how much I moisturize...

My May baby has always been a great sleeper but the one caveat is he gets up early! He used to get up at 6am, but lately, it’s as early as 4:30am and more regularly 5am. I’ve tried to cap his naps and triple checked the hours of sleep he’s getting...

After about a month postpartum I have developed burning / pins and needles sensation in both feet. Wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same?? I initially thought it was a side effect of zoloft which I started taking again after I gave...

For the Mommas who use them, what are your safety standards? I know they need to be no more then two fingers width away from neck to be sure baby can't get it in mouth. Have a safety release clasp and each bead should be knoted on both sides....

So couple of times I posted in here how it has been like 2 years now since me and my husband had sex. I felt something was off and couldn’t put my finger on what it was. So apparently he had a relationship with his secretary. I am heartbroken....

Let me start off by saying yes I will be calling my doctor tomorrow but it’s Sunday and I’m just looking for a place to share/vent.I had my TSH tested early Nov and it was normal, I didn’t feel like I had any thyroid symptoms. I had it tested...

I have really been struggling with his lack of interest in foods. I figured by now, he’d consistently eat something. But his eating is so random. I feel like he got more nutrients when eating purées because he’d eat anything we fed him. As he’s...

My baby turned one on the 9th and started walking about the same time. Holllllly moly. The tantrums that have started are next level. He NEVER threw tantrums before the last week or two. Now it’s multiple a day at even the smallest of things.I...

My daughter will be a year old on the 26th. For the last several months she has taken all naps and overnights in her crib. She hasn’t always slept through the night. Sometimes we will have a burst where she will, but usually she would wake once...

I have seen some people posting their schedules here and Im a bit confused how the schedules have less sleep than my LOMy girl sleeps usually from 10:30/11:30pm until roughly 11:30 am and then usually takes a nap either twice a day or now a...

Honestly, ever switching to cow milk my daughter has been a little constipated. She will poop small little poops, the size of a small rock and I feel bad because she is pushing sooo hard to get it out. Any feedback to help her?

Guys I don’t know what I’m hoping to accomplish by posting this. Maybe I just need to vent. I don’t know. But life lately with my 4 year old has been so brutal. I don’t even know where to begin but it seems it started just a few months after...

My son turns one on the 24th and we recently switched to whole milk and he’s been crying so much for everything it’s like everything makes him mad! crying super hard and i’m worried it’s him being hungry now that he’s off formula? He gets about...

Hey mamas! Can anyone recommend a light weight easy to close stroller. We currently have the doona but my son seems to have outgrown it. Any reworks be appreciated!

How is my baby 1? Did this fly by for anyone else? I don’t know why I’m so emotional.
