What happens if you don't go back for the booster for the flu? I think I read they are still protected somewhat but not sure. Just curious because M wouldn't be going back till like 2nd week of April. I kind of don't know why I ended up getting the shot this late in the season. I’m pretty sure they are still protected, I think it’s just to make sure it’s effective since they’ve never gotten one before. But, I’d ask your pedi if it’s really necessary if her chances are low at this point. If you trust their judgement. And take what I say with a grain of salt, I opted out of the flu shot this year because it was already so late in the season. |

They said if we get booster now then we only have to get booster in fall instead of 2 half doses again Yeah, we didn't go back for the booster the first time with DS so we had to the next fall. |

@easilyunamused, The pedi wasn't overly concerned at her 6 month. He said we'd just keep an eye on it. Since she doesn't go back until the 9 month check, I checked her myself today, since we were there. She seems to be bouncing back, so hopefully we get good news at her 9 month! That’s reassuring then. I hope she starts to steadily gain! |

Happy Birthday @easilyunamused!!!
It's been an awful week at work. Week before spring break is always hectic with midterm exams, people wanting to cram in meetings because they're traveling, or others checking out and not delivering on projects.
I can't wait until the end of the day tomorrow!

N only got up once! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
And dh got home early from work at like 5:30 so I laid back down “for five min” and then it was 6am and I was SCRAMBLING. Of course. Oh well. Those extra few min were so worth it. Fx N naps well so he will sleep well.
I’m heavily invested in the blinds thread as we started talking about Sons of Anarchy and man, that was a good show. What tv shows do you guys watch? I am catching up on This Is Us but want some more to watch (in all my free time of course lol)

We really got into Stranger Things but now the 3rd season doesn't come out till 2019. Big Little Lies is good too! |

We saw season one of stranger things, need to resubscribe to watch season two. We said we’d do that back when it came out... 🤦🏻♀️ And we will restart Hulu when handmaids tale comes back next month.... BLL was SOOOO GOOD! idk how they’re going to do another season but I’m looking forward to it. Has anyone watched The Deuce on hbo?

We've had 3 really good nap days and 3 really good night's. Now tonight is a disaster. He is pounding bottles and waking up every 39 to 60 minutes. Thank goodness I'm off tomorrow.

Last night was a total disaster. I think we were up 5 times. He did have one good stretch of sleep but the rest was a mess.
Dh took medicine last night so he slept. I'm so tired. I'm getting my first haircut since j was born and I'm very excited to have the me time today.

I hate how unpredictable sleep is every night! Gggrr Are you doing any CIO methods? I really feel like once A knew I wouldn’t come in and hold him after every cry, he just goes back to sleep. Even the times I go in to nurse, he will cry for 5 seconds and go to sleep because I’ve never went back in after he was fed. |

How is everyone introducing meat? For come reason, the jarred chicken weirds me out. Should I just give it to him in tiny chunks? Or purée it myself? I haven’t given him any that he needs to chew up yet.

The crying doesn't bug me but his eczema is so bad that when he cries he scratches until he bleeds so we can only let him cry a few minutes or he tears up his face and body |

I haven’t given him any that he needs to chew up yet. I bought Gerber chicken and apple puree and turkey with sweet potato puree. He likes both. I couldn't puree meats myself because it seemed gross but mixed with a fruit or veggie it doesn't seem so weird |

@easilyunamused, yeah I try letting her cry but she went like 35 mins last night and it just sucks after awhile. I swear I have kids that just won’t stop lol.
As far as meat, I also can’t buy the jar, it grossed me out too so I haven’t tried anything. She does well with Cheerios and has 2 teeth so I might just try mashing it up myself.

Ugh, yeah 35 mins is a long time. 🙁 king26, that eczema situation sounds awful! Have you had any luck with sleepers that have the mittens attached? And still zero teeth over here, so that’s why I was curious. I’ll probably just cave and get the puréed kind. |

And still zero teeth over here, so that’s why I was curious. I’ll probably just cave and get the puréed kind. Yes we've bought the ones target has they are good through 12 monthd. They work great for naps but during the night the little stinker somehow gets the mittens off after a few minutes of crying. I e watched him do it. He holds it in his mouth and uses the other hand to pull the mittens back. So it's fine when. He only cried for a minute or two but if it's longer we have to check because we can't stand when he makes himself bleed. I hope with the weather getting warmer it will help the eczema but we will see. I already feel like while it still gets really red it doesn't crack open as much the past few weeks so it's showing minimal improvement. |

Omg to taking her pants off jt2378 , 😂😂 but sorry about the shitty sleep. Sorry about the eczema not improving ☹️ king26 , Ahhh!! @easilyunamused , a crawler!!! 👶🏻🏃🏻♂️ (I could have sworn there was a crawling emoji?!) Two nights of good sleep (only up once) for N so I’m sure he will do poorly tonight 😂😭 @easilyunamused , we have yet to introduce meat- i don’t know how to because the puréed chicken and apples or whatever sounds so gross it makes me gag but I’m so hesitant to give him pieces or shredded pieces?? I just don’t know!! I know we need to, soon, but he still makes faces with super chunky purees so idk |

My toddler was eating red pepper strips so I figured M could gnaw on one and not bite it but she managed to get a piece in her mouth and I had to dig it out. I was freaked about choking. She does do ok with mum mums and Cheerios though. He will get there. |
