I WISH I'd had to wake her up every 3 hours to feed her...she ate every 60 minutes during the day and every 2 hours at night, like clockwork. You could set your watch by that little girl's stomach. Now, at 8 months, I practically have to...

I try not to get dragged down by it, but I feel it all the time - for me it's a feeling of being pulled in several directions at once. I work full time and my daughter stays with my mom while I'm at work. I pump 3 times a day at work,...

My daughter is a really fidgety nurser too...she's just too busy to eat much during the day so she nurses quite a bit at night. And she'll wake up 45 minutes or so after she goes down to tank up some more. At 8 months she's over 22 lbs...

MOMMA GETS TO PEE TOO! Stop putting the bathmat in your mouth! Stop scratching me! Oh my god take a nap already! What did naps do to you that you hate them so much? I promise I'll wake you up if something exciting happens. I will go...

I know it's always a popular suggestion, but have you considered wearing your babe? Popping my daughter in the carrier (we have a Beco) will reset her, even if she doesn't sleep. It just sort of hits her chill button when she's whiny and...

Oh, the flailing is definitely connected to not getting enough sleep. Since about 5 months she's fought an afternoon nap tooth and nail...if she goes to sleep she might miss something :-/ She will flail to keep herself awake, you can see...

Can you include her in things you do? My Little is a lot younger (7 months) but she likes to sit up in her chair in the kitchen and watch me cook or watch me put laundry in the washer, or spread clean laundry around while i fold it. We...

I don't think you can make a baby hit a milestone...they just do it when they're ready. When my Little started jumping while standing on my lap, we did start putting her in the exersaucer so she could do that movement she was enjoying...

I went back to work when Little was 12 weeks old. We tried to get her used to a bottle before I had to leave her and it just made us all miserable. The first week I was back to work, she fought the bottle like crazy, she and my mom...

We do baby led weaning...except we started it at 4 months instead of 6. She's 7 months old now, and she's maybe ingested a couple of tablespoons worth of "table food" total in the past 3 months. She plays, she experiments with textures...
