Whew! Okay, here we go:
Your kidding!!! Mine turned 7 months today and NO teeth!! Where are they? She has been drooling like crazy and chomping on everything that comes near her for like 4 months now! I thought she was teething early, but nothing!! How do you know when they break through? Do you just keep checking, or do the babies let you know with fussiness, waking etc?
J's first two didn't break through until last week and he's nearly 8 months.We also thought that he was going to get them at 4 months, because he developed these little white cysts that looked like the beginnings of teeth. But no--nothing happened. We didn't find out that these two had broken through until last week when my husband gave him a metal spoon to play with (see below in siggy) and he heard a "clang." J simply won't let us look in his mouth. But he had been tugging on both ears
a lot just before it happened. I just thought he was really, really tired.
That's great that it is working! I bet both of you feel so much better! Is he overtired at nap time? I notice that when dd gets overtired she is SO hard to get down for a nap. Sometimes I have to give in and take her out in her stroller and hten she will settle and fall asleep. If I catch her early enough it is usually much easier. It was weird because her last nap is usually a struggle and today I was surprised that she just fell right asleep in her swing and then I realized that I had misread the clock and put her down an hour earlier than I had planned to. Maybe I need to try that again tomorrow!
It's not that he's overtired (I don't think), it's just that he's fighting our regular routine to get him to sleep during naps. We used to (just like at night) give him a bottle then rock him to sleep. He's fine with the bottle, but doesn't want to be rocked anymore, to the point where he's struggling so hard with us that we're getting bruised. That's why we did CIO at night to begin with. But CIO doesn't work with naps. I don't think... Anyway, if we can get him down, we can often get a good nap out of him, but we just can't get him down. And he doesn't like anything like a swing or bouncer, so that's out. And he doesn't fall asleep in his stroller. If anything, it's another time to PAR-TAY!
It's a problem I've got to solve. Oh well, I like solving problems...
we dont use cloth nappies but marthas been using the potty since 5 months so im hoping we wont be using nappies for too long so i figure thats my contribution lol
Holy!!! Did you do Elimination Communication?
ladies
It's the 3rd night in a row N STTN.
What is going on?
It just happened. He just did it. Will it last?
But this is fantastic! 3 nights in a row is pretty darn consistent.
Kosh, how is the cold?
As for us, um, well, pretty much everything is the same. I started giving J prunes last night--only 2, and he ate the equivalent of half a prune--to prepare him for switching formulas again. I also tried to buy the BLW Cookbook, but nobody had it in stock. I managed to order it, but I want it now! I'll check out the libraries today.
ETA: Great. The library has five copies and they are all out. And they are all due back when my order is due. The BLW stars appear to be aligned against me...
i do not like huggies; they always leak for us.
And your LO is adorable as always! That last pic is just too too sweet!
. It used to take me 45 min to 1 hour to do my hair and now in 10 min and I am done 
!!!
Oh well, I guess I should be happy it's growing back.
