11/27 Questions! Thanksgiving edition!

1) does your child eat and eat solids? I guess can they overeat at this age unlike when they were BFing?

2) does anyone have success with the Diva cup after children if you had issues with tampons?

I should know better than to post this on Black Friday!

My DD is younger but she has a couple of foods that she will eat in seemingly massive quantities - bananas, mandarin oranges. I'm not worried too worried about it but I realize it's a lot of sugar. :/

My Q: if you have a humidifier in your kid's room do you leave it on all the time or just at night?

[osulori]

AJ will eat pound some mandarin oranges and shredded cheese but even then he eventually has a shutoff button. He surprises me sometimes though.

shelbyann we just leave AJs on at night, and maybe during naps if he's really congested.

2.) I used a diva cup, size 1 pre babies. LOVED IT. Changed my life. Had to go up to size 2 after babies, still loved it.

Love my diva cup, though it was a little uncomfortable my first pp period.

My question: L is 5.5 months, FF. Suddenly, like just today, she's screaming after about three pulls from the bottle. Otherwise pretty normal, maybe a little fussy - no fever, slept fine last night and napped this morning. WTH? Usually by now she's had at least 15 oz. (since midnight), and we're going on 8 right now. Teeth? Something else?

ETA I don't feel or see any teeth coming through.

Probably teeth! J was like that while his teeth were coming in. Then he would just chew the nipple....

If I wake up MOTN and smell that DD has pooped but she is still sound asleep, how terrible is it, on a scale of 1 to 10, if I just leave her be until she wakes up?

Also, is it weird that my kid is not bothered at all by poopy diapers?

[arch01]

nessness no, not at all. DS never was.

shelbyann we just use ours at night.

She used to, but right now, getting her to eat almost anything besides shredded cheese, apples, goldfish, waffles and a few other foods is an exercise in futility. She barely ate yesterday despite two Thanksgiving meals. These things might ebb and flow for you so if he's eating a ton now, I wouldn't worry.

Just at night.

Poopy diapers never phase DD but I know I would feel horribly guilty if I knew that she pooped in the MOTN and I didn't change her. So I don't know how "terrible" it is on that scale, but I just can't leave her on with a poopy diaper for more than a few minutes if I know she has one (sometimes she's not quite done right away, hence the few minutes before I change her).

Did you secure dresser drawers in your toddler's room or just the dresser itself?

I am wondering if I should install safety catches in her Hemnes dresser but wondered if anything worse besides her taking all her clothes out of the dresser could happen. Dresser itself is secured to the wall already.

My kid doesn't care about being in a dirty diaper.
