WWYD: I'm supposed to get together with a friend tomorrow. Her youngest had HFM fairly recently. It's been two weeks since it started and he's already been back in daycare, but he still has some of the fading rash on his legs. Should I worry about it? I don't have any experience with this stuff! No fever and no weeping blisters you're probably good to go. Apparently the virus can be shed in baby's poop for a while so I wouldn't be offering to help with any diapers if I were you. ETA: And I just realized your plans were today and I'm probably too late with my response anyway.

Thanks for the input on the HFM thing. We decided to go since it's been two weeks and there were no blisters, just the fading rash.
But with DS in school now it's just a matter of time before we're gonna get hit with it.... We already got a letter home from the school once notifying us that a student in another class (that uses the same room as the nursery school kids but at different times) had HFM.

Ugh. Last night DS was nursing and he decided to just bite and scrape my nipple and pull away. It was quite painful. I immediately put him down and said “no bite”. He was so upset and I was in a lot of pain. Well, I hadn’t thought much about it but today when nursing it was really bothering me so I took a closer look. He totally punctured the underside of my nipple. 😖 Should I just aquaphor it? It is an open wound.

And airing it out as much as you can should help with healing. Hope it heals quickly.

Ouch pixiepink24! I hope it heals quickly. I would also try the nipple butter first. And maybe put some breast milk on it when you're able to let that air dry on there.

Yes - use breastmilk pixiepink24! I forgot all about that. I would dab some on and let it dry like tbirdlove suggested then use nipple butter when you have to cover up. That's what I did after DS2 left me with a blood blister and it helped. Personally I found keeping it moist helped because if my nip dried out too much the skin just cracked more and hurt worse.

I can't believe it's October already and C is going to be 1 in just 20 days! I'm feeling so bittersweet about this, on one hand I love seeing him grow and learn, but on the other hand he's my last baby and I'm sad about him moving out of the baby phase. Last night he looked really close to taking a step! I thought for sure he would walk earlier, but he's still holding out and just cruising everywhere.

DramaphileI feel the same way! 23 days to go! 😭 I’ve been working on decorations for the party and I’m supposed to take his one year pictures this weekend at a sunflower field. Also, it’s 98 degrees right now with the heat index over 100. Wtf Fall?!

pixiepink24 - Yikes that's hot! We were 80 and muggy yesterday and it was terrible but I'll take that over feels like 100*+. Then it dropped overnight and didn't even hit 60* today. Of course now it starts raining 15 min before I need to pack up to go get the boys at daycare.

I'm so jealous of all you with hot weather. We went straight from summer to winter and it doesn't seem like there's any hope for fall weather now 😒

DS ended up biting the other nipple too a few days ago. The first side is finally starting to heal but this second side is really hurting. I tried pumping for relief and now I just have bloody milk. I have a feeling that I’m going to be weaning this guy waaaay sooner than I did with DD. 😪 Between these nipple bites and thrush, I’m so over nursing.

Of course this morning was DS's first school field trip (with parents).....to an orchard. It was cold and wet and muddy. Not ideal!

Tonight DD had a poop-all-up-the-back incident like the old days. I didn't know it was so soft, so when I picked her up to carry her it squished up out the back of the diaper all over my sleeve. I didn't even realize it happened until I laid her down to change her and there was crap all on my sleeve! And then it was all over the back of her shirt, all over the changing pad cover, all over some burp cloths that I had to put under her. I'm am so glad not to be dealing with that all the time anymore!! Remember she used to poop all up her back every time she pooped no matter what brand/size of diapers?! It didn't stop happening until she started solids. But now the solids made it even more disgusting than before! 🤢 Ewww!

Dd's poops have been so stinky lately and she always tries to roll over so it's a struggle trying not to get poop everywhere!

I needed DS to keep handing her toys and talking to her to keep her distracted! Thankfully he was in a helpful mood 😂

I think I’m going to test out some whole milk next week and see how he does and slowly transition. We have 3 more weeks until he’s one. I’m actually really sad about weaning. 😪

He's so close to one and eats a lot of food, I don't think something magic happens in 2.5 weeks when he turns one.

If you want to start the transition now I'd say go for it. But also big hugs for feeling sad about it. Weaning can be so emotional. You've done a fantastic job going this long.

I’m actually really sad about weaning. 😪 both pediatricians we saw for dd1 said we could start whole milk at 10-10.5 months so we did. I gave dd2 whole milk around 11 months. I think as long as they are eating an assortment of solids they are still getting enough nutrition from that.
