Momma Bimbos - Chat Thread

I don't think I've ever seen veggies that look like candy...Do you mean the vegetable chips?
And actually she's never really had candy, so I don't know if she knows what candy looks like!
At this point I'd try anything!
How old is your daughter? she's adorable!!! I love the pic with the hat.

Hi there both of your daughters are beautiful! My son is almost 13 months. I have a couple suggestions, but every kid is different so good luck! We have this juice here's that's a fruit juice, but it's got veggies in it too and you can't taste them! My little guy loved the strawberry banana one. This is what it looks like:



They also have Blueberry, Mango Pineappe, and Raspberry Orange. I also found a good way to get him to eat the veggies was sneaking them into stuff, like soups and stews. He had a little while there where he was pretty much refusing to eat veggies at all unless I hid them in food. Now he is a bit better though. Weird thing is he prefers canned veggies over the fresh or frozen ones. Maybe because they are more tender and mushy.

My current problem with my son is that he had a bad cough and was rubbing his ears and crying so the doctor put him on an antibiotic for 10 days. Well he's done the antibiotic and still has the cough and is still rubbing his ears. Yesterday when he woke up from his afternoon nap he had hives all over the one side of his face. They worried me, but I put some cool water on his face and let it dry and they started to go away. Well then he had dinner and a bath and shortly after his bath he got them again, but on the other side of his face. So I sent my husband to pick up some Benadryl and gave him a dose and put him to bed. Kept checking on him through the night to be sure he was ok. Then when he got up this morning it wasn't AS bad, but he still had a few of the little hives on his face. Weird thing is I can't think of anything different that he had yesterday! Everything he ate he's had before with no problems. So any ideas?

I don't think you are putting her to bed too early. One of my baby sleep books said somewhere between 6 and 8 is a good time for that age group to go to bed. My little guy is a night owl. He is usually up until like 9 or 9:30, but then he sleeps in until about 8:30. From what I read they should be getting between 10-12 hours of sleep at night, not including their naps. My son had a few nights recently where he was doing that too. I don't know if he just had bad dreams or what, but I would go in and get him and then calm him down and bring him into our bed until he was more calm. Once I could tell he wasn't upset anymore and started looking tired again (which only took maybe 10mins) I put him back in his crib and he went back to sleep until like 9am! This has only happened a few times, but each time I did the same thing and that's what happened.

my daughter will be 14 months old this friday

unfortunately mb is targeted for people who are not moms LOL

there are many many many websites for moms though. cafemom being one of them

Kennydra - The hives almost sound like they're related to body heat. My youngest had something similar happen to him. But when you got him up he had them on his face (were they on the side of his face he was sleeping on?) and the bath causes heat as well which could have made them reappear. The fact that cold compress and dry skin makes them go away makes me think heat related AND that could be becoming active because he's still fighting of a virus. The cough is always the last to go and I've been told many times before that a cough can last up to 3 weeks after the other symptoms are gone! Poor guy! I hope your ped can help him be more comfy!

my daughter has a night routine she drinks at 7pm she drinks a bottle of milk, at 7:30 i bathe her with a nice fragant watermelon shampoo. change her into her favorite dora pj's. By 8:10pm she is in her crib "talking" to me, while im reading her favorite dora book. she is tucked in, in her dora sheets, with a dora doll next to her all the lights go off and by 8:50 she is asleep and wakes up at 7:00 am to watch dora the explorer she loves her

These are my guys:





Needless to say....I NEED MY OWN BATHROOM! lol

Hey everyone,

My little guy just turned 2.  He started the "terrible 2s" early as well.  He had his first full-fledged tantrum yesterday.  It was an Oscar winning performance.  He won't eat much either.  He's not even on the growth chart!  A good cookbook to check out is "The Sneaky Chef", it tells you how to hide fruits and veggies in everyday foods.  I've made several things out of it and they were surprisingly good!  Can't even taste the purees you use.  Hope this helps for those little ones that aren't eating their veggies!

hey
my son just turned 2 the 9th of june
and terrible 2's kicked in early here to!!
He's always been a very busy baby
(yesterday somebody actually told me it wouldnt hurt to give him some medication for children that would calm him down a bit! seriously
He's a very social child and will tell you hello & goodbye & give kisses anytime
a bit too much for my liking
he takes hands of total strangers and just walkes of with them
He's not an idiot either.
He counts to 5 in 2 languages and when he needs to give kisses he makes sure of who he's going to kiss first
attractive ladies get a kiss right on the lips, men get kisses on the cheek


anyway

the sleeping part: i let hem cry! (i do make sure everything is ok first)
It sounds harsh but toddlers are so much smarter than you think
and with my son it helped
when he was little i used to go in when he was crying, and it only made it worse!!!
So now when he has those periods of waking up at night again (yes he still does have them) i leave him
and the first night he cries for hours
day 2 a bit shorter
day 3 shorter
and by day 4 it usually stops

what you can do to is go in to her room put her down, tell her its time to go to sleep again and no little kiss of no little hugg because all a toddler wants when they wake up at night is attention

maybe something drasticly changed in her environement that makes her wake up
...........

The eating part i'm sorry i can't help, i still have problems getting my son to eat to!!
He  loves hot dog sausages
and if i would let him he would eat nothing else!!
AT HOME THAT IS
because when he's somewhere else he eats whatever they feed him

i was told by my daughters doc. that its not good to let them cry (only if ts a reason, hunger, hurt etc.) you just have to find a routine that's good for all of you you, your partner,baby.
im hispanic so my mom has all these beliefs that letting the baby cry is good for them so their lungs will develop. i was young when i had my son i was 16 so i listened to her a big mistake my son had to have surgery on his testicles because he got 2 hernias on each testicle so i learned my lesson.

I know what you mean!!! You just want them to feel better! The history of asthma in your family actually makes him more prone to have a breathing problem....asthma is more common in families with histories of such.

As for RSV...my youngest was in one hospital with RSV while my Dad was across the street in another hospital in ICU at the end of his 5 year struggle with cancer. I was hopping back and forth between the two checking on my son and then running back to my Dad's side. In my life I had never felt so helpless and lost than at that moment. One of the kindest things that happened to me during those three days was the nurses taking care of my son (my husband stayed with my son 24/7) saw me come in to sit with him so my hubby could go get some breakfast and brought me soap to take a shower in his room while she watched him. She told me she knew my circumstance and wanted to help. The world is so full of wonderful people!! Luckily my son was released on his second morning due to the breathing treatments he received! Worked miracles!


So SORRY for the thread jack!!
