Is there a guide to how much you should feed a 3-month old? I'm trying to make sure she gets at least 24 oz of formula or breast milk a day but I have no way of making sure it happens. My wife is VERY anti-formula, which sucks because baby girl doesn't do boobs to well during the day but will suck down a bottle of anything warm. My wife pumps, but I don't know how we're going to deal with increased demand as the baby gets older since her supply hasn't been growing much.

Does anyone have any advice on transitioning from a Merlin sleep suit to a sleep sack? Our little girl slept 90 mins before waking all the way up, when usually she can make it five to six hours.

Our 8 month old was moved into her own room recently and her sleep has just gone to complete poo poo. I don't think my wife or I have gotten more than 3-4 hours sleep a night since we did, when before we could reliably do 5-6. Help.

Koivunen posted:Does the baby make a clicking noise with their tongue while eating? That can be a sign that letdown is coming too fast and they’re losing suction and swallowing air. Trying to feed them as upright as possible or in a side lying position with mom and baby on their sides can help, or releasing the latch and letting the spray go into a towel or a haakaa, then relatching can help too. If there is a lactation consultant you could see, they can take a look at the latch and see if there are any problems. Many hospitals offer lactation support for free. Nah that's poo poo. She just doesn't want to be the bad guy. Discipline your drat kids* *With words and a reduction in privileges and poo poo like that. Don't hit.

For people with sleep issues, our little one recently outgrew her Merlin Magic Sleep Suit (which we foolishly bought the next size up of because it mostly worked). So we first had to get her used to sleeping in PJs which was incredibly hard. Then we had to get her to sleep through the night. We probably should have done both at the same time, but we used a modified Ferber method where we didn't disturb her unless it had been a really long time of sitting up or crying for more than a set amount of time and now she mostly sleeps 10-11 hours and can put herself back to sleep if she hasn't soiled herself. It has made our lives much easier. Of course now she pulls herself to standing and will be running soon.

Insanite posted:Anyone have any infant cold tips beside nasal aspiration, saline spray, steam, and humidifiers? My four-month-old's got his second cold ever, and it's brutal having to deal with him overnight while needing to work full-time. Dude wakes up every ten minutes. First cold was during parental leave, so that was doable if lovely. You're probably also going through a sleep regression that isn't any fun at all. An incline will help a good deal.

hooah posted:Does anyone have any tips for cleaning vomit off of a microsuede sofa? 4-year-old has her first flu... My wife tried the stuff for pet messes, so we'll see how that goes, but any other ideas would be helpful. Oxiclean or any other oxidizing cleaner might help. That's the major reactant in those pet cleaners. The acid in the vomit may have already stained it. As always check in a corner you don't mind covering up first.

BadSamaritan posted:I kept hearing my baby talk/whine to herself in the middle of the night last night, and when I’d check the monitor she would just be sitting and starting out into her room through the crib bars. Sometimes standing. Our girl is pretty good at putting herself back to sleep at 14 months during the night. Now we did do a very painful sleep training over two weeks at eight months but it was absolutely worth it.

So my 18-monther doesn't have canine teeth yet. Is this normal? She has bicuspids, the ones that are behind the canines, and has for like four months now.

PHIZ KALIFA posted:My 8 month old hasn't pooped all day. I think I remember hearing that 5 days isn't anything to worry about, and his cousin did 2 weeks, but was that for just newborns? when do i start panicking. If he's breast fed, that little tyke will poop when he drat well feels like it and not before because he's absorbing EVERYTHING. If it's formula, you got a few more days before you should start to worry. My daughter cried a lot when she started having solid poops. Now she has enormous ones and keeps on trucking.

Try the Ferber method for sleep training. That ten days will be the worst in your life but at the end of it you will have a little one that sleeps through the night.

nachos posted:We did this and now our 5 month old sleeps independently and completely through the night without feeds which is a loving miracle. Except now because we aren’t allowed to help her back to sleep her naps are complete rear end and maybe 10% of them are longer than 30 minutes. And because she’s sleeping so little during the day, we have to put her to bed early at night, which causes 5:30am waking, and then another day of garbage naps. Oh yeah we didn't attempt it until we were down to one nap a day around 10 months old.

My little girl is 20 months old and she must be teething up a loving storm because she has never been this volatile. I love her to bits but I'm stuck watching her for a few days while her daycare is cleaned (a parent has covid). She's hardly eaten old favorites, drools like mad and has a runny nose for the first time in months. I know it's not covid because she wasn't even exposed to the kid with the sick parent at all, not even on the same playground equipment, plus no fever or cough or wheeze or anything. She chews a few things like her life depends on it and has trouble sleeping. Anyone have any good advice for teething? Molars and canines are the suspects right now.

nwin posted:I’m getting kinda scared for when these molars come in for our kid. It seems like it’s been forever since we’ve dealt with teething and I just know it’s going to blindside me and completely gently caress my sleep again. It doesn't have to, and it probably won't. Lilly had some canines come in and she was just a bit grumpier.
