Re: PS Mommy Thread-Newborn to 12 months!
Allie- check the flow of the nipple. Is it too slow? We had a similar issue with N, but he would actually finish the bottle (was just a bit fussy/frustrated doing it!). We kept him at the slow flow nipple WAY too long because of his reflux- our bad. Hello to all the mamas- i've been lurking lots lat... |

Re: PS Mommy Thread-Newborn to 12 months!
Mere, I was HORRIFIED that he got pink-eye. good thing we caught it super-early. the doc wasn't even 100% sure that was it as his eyes weren't really even pink and bloodshot, but they were crusty/mucousy so he went with that diagnosis. there wasn't a case reported at his DC, so we don't think he got... |

Re: Pumpers unite!
what a great, supportive thread! i pump about 95% of the time since i've gone back to work (2.5 mos) BF has been a challenge from the get-go. my supply was/is pathetic, and N has never been the most effective nurser. he's very leisurely, easily distracted and has now bitten me a couple of times (ouc... |

Re: PS Mommy Thread-Newborn to 12 months!
Nora just gets cuter and cuter. bleh on the peas- I'm also not a fan. DH jokes that N will be just like his papa and love them! Here's another pic, just for you Lulu. I'm limited by what's stored in my phone, but this is a cute one from last week- N playing with his latest toy, a crinkly lion |

Re: PS Mommy Thread-Newborn to 12 months!

I'm just in a funk I guess. I cherish the time I have with him and am able to enjoy it despite my anxiety but, when I'm not distracted by playing with him, it's bad.

Re: Baby Nurseries!
This is the little "cubbie" area in the corner. We think it used to be a closet. I call it the "white corner" as the changing table, glider, and bookcase are all white- it was deliberate as none of these pieces will remain long-term The ABC poster is in english |

Re: Baby Nurseries!
I'm thrilled to share N's nursery. You may recall that we moved into our new home when he was 2 days old, so getting it together wasn't exactly priority until around September (at 3 mos) when we began to think about moving him from our room. It's totally presentable , but there's two things that I s... |
