More questions!
How old is your baby? 29 weeks (thanks for the weekly emails Scary Mommy!). Otherwise known as about 6.5 months
Did baby get the flu shot this year? Yes at her 6 month check up. She goes back for the booster in like 2 weeks.
Where are you going for Easter? Both of our parents. Mine in the morning, H after naps.
Are you getting baby an Easter basket? Are you doing anything for baby for Easter? She's getting a basket only because DS is getting one. I got her a couple cheap teething toys, some puffs, and a book.
How many teeth does baby have? None
Solid foods: Favorite?
Least favorite? Eh, she takes a bit of food every night but doesn't love any of it.
How many naps is baby taking now? 3ish
How many times is baby waking up at night? 1-4. Lol
Have you baby proofed your house yet?
If so, what did you use?
Are you doing every room or just certain ones? Most of the house is because of DS. I don't have anything in the outlets yet, but DS never cared about outlets and it's super annoying to have to take the stoppers out all the time, so unless she's interested/until she's actually mobile, I'm not doing anything with those.
Is baby crawling yet? Nope. She gets up on hands/knees and rocks but falls back down. Rolling all over the place though
What do you dress baby in most days- pants and onesie? Sleepers? Outfits? Mostly outfits. We have a billion of them so why not. But most of the "outfits" are some combo of pants and a onesie with a cute shirt over the top. Carter's sets are my jam.
Have you bought a swimsuit yet for baby? Share it here! Yes. We went to a waterpark in Jan. I'm not on tapa at the moment so I'll add a pic later if I think of it.
Any other questions? Nope

Hi remember me lol
How old is your baby?
30wks / 6mo+3wks
Did baby get the flu shot this year?
Yep with her 6mo shots. even though every one in the family had the flu this winter Daphne didnt (yay!) But then the stupid shots have her 2 days of fever afterwards poor thing 😕
Where are you going for Easter?
Maybe lunch at my mums or maybe the family will come to us. Though it could be MH has to work in which case it will be just any regular day heh.
Are you getting baby an Easter basket? Are you doing anything for baby for Easter?
Nope not a tradition here though it is so fun so maybeI will introduce it when she is a little bigger?
How many teeth does baby have?
None yet but the bottom two seem to be on their way. For a while though already so not sure when they will finally actually cut through?
Solid foods:
No favorite or anything yet as we only just started and she doesn't really seem to care either way yet. Thought squeezing broccoli to pulp did entertain her 🤗
How many naps is baby taking now?
2-3
How many times is baby waking up at night?
Once or twice
Have you baby proofed your house yet?
If so, what did you use?
Are you doing every room or just certain ones?
All of our outlets are child proof but that is about all right now... we just got gates for all staircases but won't install till she crawls outside of the playpen. I need to come up with a solution to close of the kitchen so she won't dig into the kitty food bowls. Prolly also gates? We also need to get all the cords sorted under the pc desks and tv stand. So much to do still lol! Roomwise we will mostly stick to areas she actually will be in often.
Is baby crawling yet?
Yup but only backwards! She does get on all four and rocks back and forth but had only found her reverse just yet. Which is starting to frustrate her! 😆
What do you dress baby in most days- pants and onesie?Sleepers? Outfits?
Onesie, comfi pants and a cardigan/sweater usually. Some days I feel like a pj day and she wears a sleeper all day 😊 I prefer seperate bottoms though, easier while changing her daiper.
Have you bought a swimsuit yet for baby? Share it here!
I was given a bag with all sorts of baby clothing by a friend and it included a super cute swimsuit. Will dig it out and photograph it later. Am considering buying one with sleeves and such though to prevent sunburn??
Any other questions?
Any of you doing BLW or Rapley?

How old is your baby? 7mo on Tuesday! Did baby get the flu shot this year? Yep. Need to go for his booster in 3 weeks Where are you going for Easter? We don’t celebrate Easter. We’re not religious and just would rather ignore stuff like spending money on baskets and trying to explain and separate the secular and religious. Christmas is enough of a headache. Are you getting baby an Easter basket? Are you doing anything for baby for Easter? N/a How many teeth does baby have? 2! Bottom middle Solid foods: Favorite? He doesn’t seem to be overjoyed at anything in particular and doesn’t seem to hate anything specific. He eats it all and makes a face for most of it most of the time Least favorite? How many naps is baby taking now? 3-4, depends on the length and start times. How many times is baby waking up at night? Anywhere from 1-5 times, usually can count on at least 2 😭 Have you baby proofed your house yet? Nope If so, what did you use? Are you doing every room or just certain ones? We will do the living/dining/kitchen, his room, and idk probably just work on keeping the other doors closed Is baby crawling yet? scoots backwards, stands and rocks and can’t figure out that he has to move his arms forward to move forward, he just moves his legs and then flops face down lol What do you dress baby in most days- pants and onesie? Sleepers? Outfits? Onesies with pants sometimes a hoodie. Try to keep sleepers as pjs or for lounging at home days Have you bought a swimsuit yet for baby? Share it here! We did, Nozone Fiji Sun Protective Baby Swimsuit In Aqua/Arthur, 12-18 Months www.amazon.com/dp/B01MSCYS0K?ref=yo_pop_ma_swfAny other questions? Convertible car seats- we need at least two - one for my car, one for dh’s / the nanny’s. How do we do this? Buying three seems absurd. Do we do two and transfer the one between our nanny’s and dhs car? Do we buy a cheaper one for the second one? But 4d/ wk he’ll probably use it so it seems that a high quality one would be good for them too. So. Much. Money. Ugh. |

How old is your baby? 6.5 months ish
Did baby get the flu shot this year? Not yet- haven’t had our 6 mo appt. Not sure if the pedi will recommend it at this point.
Where are you going for Easter? I’m hosting dinner with the ILs- BIL has our niece for spring break (shared custody situation) so all of DHs immediate family will be here for a couple days.
Are you getting baby an Easter basket? Are you doing anything for baby for Easter? Yes- she’s getting a couple books, teethers, baby food and maybe a swimsuit if I finally pick one. DS is getting some books, mini Oreos, and a Funko pop mini superhero thing.
How many teeth does baby have? 2
Solid foods: Favorite?
Least favorite? She eats it all so far! She loves the Baby MumMums teething wafers, and sweet potatoes. She made the most faces at peas.
How many naps is baby taking now? 3ish
How many times is baby waking up at night? 1-2
Have you baby proofed your house yet?
If so, what did you use? It’s still all done from DS. Outlet plugs, baby gates, cabinet locks for meds/cleaning stuff, furniture tethers.
Are you doing every room or just certain ones? Most of the house is good to go. Now we just have to make sure there aren’t small toy pieces or anything on the floor for DD to eat.
Is baby crawling yet? Trying so hard! She is getting stuck trying to move her 2nd knee forward. So she’ll plank and kind of launch herself in the right direction.
What do you dress baby in most days? Depends on what we’re doing. Sleepers a lot of days, or a onesie and pants. Nothing fancy!
Have you bought a swimsuit yet for baby?Share it here! I’m on the hunt- I have a couple options in online shopping carts but haven’t hit buy yet.
Any other questions? Is anyone working out/running regularly? I’m starting a mommy running/workout group tomorrow and I’m scared! I’m so going to pee and/or leak milk everywhere.

yellowcat, not muscari but BLW is “baby led weaning”. It’s a method of feeding where you basically skip purées and go right to more textured real foods. I’m too nervous with choking so I haven’t tried it with either of my kids.

I’m too nervous with choking so I haven’t tried it with either of my kids. I’ve done a mix of BLW and puréed with all of my kids. We do mostly vegetables and fruits cut up in ‘stick shapes’ which helps reduce the likelihood of choking. S like bell peppers, cucumbers, carrots, cantaloupe, avocado. |

How old is your baby? 7 months
Did baby get the flu shot this year? Yes. She had to get her MMR vaccine early too (before the recommended 12mos) because there has been an outbreak in our community and 2/3 of my kids may have been exposed 😖
Where are you going for Easter? Staying local, going to separate brunches at my ILs and my parents house.
Are you getting baby an Easter basket? Are you doing anything for baby for Easter? Yes to the basket because the boys are getting baskets and I have to be equal. S is just getting a couple of new baby toys and pouches of baby food. The boys are getting a variety of outdoor/garden inspired items.
How many teeth does baby have? 2! They are so cute!
Solid foods: Favorite? Bananas, avocado+apple+kale mix
Least favorite? Thankfully none yet
How many naps is baby taking now? On a perfect day she gets 2 solid naps
How many times is baby waking up at night? 1-2
Have you baby proofed your house yet? Yes, it is proofed from the other kids.
If so, what did you use? Lots! Baby proofing happened in stages for us. When the boys were crawling we had a big gate that separated our main living area from the rest of the house (we have open concept) and a baby gate at the top of the stairs. As they started walking, we did the stoppers on cabinets, we got rid of our entertainment center and coffee table (MH has a huge fear of sharp corners around the kids). When we hit 2 with the eldest it was another level of toddler proofing that we needed to do 😂 we put top safety strap locks (can’t think of the formal name) on the linen closet, coat closet (we keep cleaning supplies in there), on the front and back doors once they learned how to unlock the doors that go outside. Locks on the medicine cabinet. You can definitely tell we have toddlers. I also suggest anchoring all the dressers and/or chests of drawers to the wall.
Are you doing every room or just certain ones? Our whole house is baby and toddler proofed.
Is baby crawling yet? No.
What do you dress baby in most days- pants and onesie? Sleepers? Outfits? Now that it’s warming up I’m getting her dressed in outfits every day. Usually dress+leggings, she’s got so many cute clothes to wear!
Have you bought a swimsuit yet for baby? Share it here! Not yet, I do plan on getting her one with a long sleeve rash guard though because my kids are very pale.

unicornsparkles omg I wish I could bring you to my house so you could point out every single thing that I need to baby proof. It feels overwhelming. Any brands you recommend for cabinet securing stuff? Like do I just go to Lowe’s or Home Depot and day where’s the baby proofing section for locking cabinets and closets? 🤦🏻♀️

Any brands you recommend for cabinet securing stuff? Like do I just go to Lowe’s or Home Depot and day where’s the baby proofing section for locking cabinets and closets? 🤦🏻♀️ Let me try and link all the stuff we use...oh and I forgot plug protectors! I would get those on outlets now before baby is mobile. Lock for the oven Safety 1st Oven Front Lock www.amazon.com/dp/B0056S8AGW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_Y97RAb368AQVWFridge lock because my kids are savages Safety 1st SecureTech Cabinet Lock www.amazon.com/dp/B00155WJMQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_2-7RAb3B70T2YThese are on our kitchen cabinets and bathroom drawers Safety 1st 14 Pack Wide Grip Latches www.amazon.com/dp/B00192OI2E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_I.7RAb83FCXCFFurniture straps Safety 1st Furniture Wall Straps, 8 Count www.amazon.com/dp/B00ANJLSTA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_ua8RAbRC1AE20These are the straps we have on linen and coat closets because we have oval knobs and I couldn’t find knob covers Safety 1st OutSmart Multi Use Lock, 2 Pack, White www.amazon.com/dp/B077M6JKRG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_Qb8RAbHJX92G4Play yard that we used when the boys were little and we didn’t know what we were doing re-baby proofing. It worked great as a fence around the Christmas tree too 😬 North States Superyard Colorplay 8 Panel Playard www.amazon.com/dp/B006NTY1HU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_Nc8RAbDQ7H7ZSTrust me when I say your kid will let you know what you need to baby/toddler proof. Some families need more, some need less. Ours is especially safety proofed since I’m a SAHM and we are home more than we would be if I was working outside the home. That makes a difference. Like for example, we’ve never used a toilet lock but some kids might prefer to throw stuff in the toilet. Mine are climbers hence why all of our furniture is tethered to the wall. It’s gotten a lot better now that they are a little older but 18mos-2ish was prime baby proofing time. |

Another question: What sippy cups are you guys using to introduce them to sippy cups? I got two different ones and they both suck apparently bc he’s having none of them. I got these first but then I realized these were dumb bc he has no concept of sipping without a nipple.  So then I got this one, and he just bites on it.  |

king26 the only socks we have luck with are from Oshkosh bgosh that have a ribbed ankle all the way around. They have stayed on both kids. addymac E likes the playtex Sipsters with the straw. But be careful ordering because some sets only come with a handle on one side instead of both which it tricky for this age.
