1. What did you do for a first birthday cake for your child? Let them have real cake? Or make some "healthy"-ish alternative? DD hasn't really had sugar or anything sweet aside from fruit yet.
2. When did your child drop from 2 naps to 1? DD is 11 months and has been fighting her afternoon nap, even though she looks super tired. She is also resisting at bedtime. She's always been a good sleeper, used to go right to sleep no problem.

1. A was MSPI so I made her a dairy-free, soy-free cake. M will be having regular cake, probably from costco!
2. I think around 15-18 months we transitioned. Some days she took 2, some days 1. Depended on when she woke up as we were fighting 5AM wakeups for a while and those days she usually took 2.

1. Real cake, but she didn't eat much of it
2. She dropped to one nap around 12-13 months at daycare, but she was about 15 months before she did at home. Even now (17 months) she occasionally takes 2 naps if she wakes up super early for the day.

Yes real cake! The best part is hire face when they taste it for the first time.
1. Small smash cake from the grocery store. She didn't actually ingest much at that time but I am not against some sweets. 2. I don't remember-around 1 year.
We got DD's end of year report card (lol, she's 3) and it said that she doesn't know her numbers, colors, and shapes. When we ask her at home she knows them and often picks stuff out describing the shape/color. She thinks it's really funny to play dumb and say "I don't know!" when she is asked questions, so I'm assuming that's what is happening here. Do I just ignore it or try to explain that when teachers ask her questions she needs to answer them because I know she knows the answer?

1. We've had regular cake at all the kids bday parties, starting at age 1. I have no desire to buy or make any special cake just for the birthday child and I'm assuming everyone else at the party wants "normal" cake. Costco sheet cakes FTW!
What did you put your supported sitter in for early spoon feeding? We've been putting her in the Bumbo the last couple days to try to feed her cereal, but it's not working spectacularly. She's always listing one way or another. Usually forward because she wants what's on the spoon, but that makes her even harder to feed.
noodleoo, we did a smash cake. She loved the frosting, but not so much the cake. E went to 1 nap at daycare just after turning 1 when she switched rooms. At home though she still took 2 naps for another month after that. Could it be teeth? Molars were killer for us around 1.
bcarp30, I would just remind her that she's there to learn and needs to answer the teachers. E does something similar when even if she knows stuff she just says "yeah."
Susie, we have the FP space saver that could be reclined. So she was in that starting at 2months (not eating, just chilling with us at the table).

I put him in the high chair. It has a 5pt harness, so it held him in nicely when he still needed extra support.
1. Real cake! She just kept eating it though, so eventually I took it away. 2. She fully transitioned to one nap at 13 months, but started fighting nap around 11 months. There was a period of a couple of months where most days consisted of her falling asleep in the car from 4 - 4:30!

I would probably explain it to daycare so they can work on getting her out of the "I don't know" habit, which may be more of an issue in elementary school.
1. We gave her a regular, sugared up cake (red velvet, my personal favorite). She wasn't super into it that day, but I think she was overtired. The next day she went nuts and really enjoyed the frosting. I was totally fine with it, it's a birthday! It was her first sugar too, but we've since given her small amounts here and there (Easter candy, some cake, etc).
2. Not yet and she's 15 months on Thursday. Lately she's been going down for 2 naps with no problem, although she has definitely fought the afternoon nap in the past. But we've been super active lately and she's starting to "walk" holding onto our hands, so she's tired.

High chair. One day when DD was around 5 months, my mom just put her in the high chair, took a picture and texted "I think she's ready to sit up." And that was pretty much that. We started solids just before 6 months, and she was able to sit in the chair pretty easily.

Why don't they make rompers for boys larger than 24mo? Giant bebes like rompers too, and we are nowhere near potty training, so 2pc outfits don't even make life easier.
Why can't I find a shirt with Anna and Elsa on it for boys? Even the non-glitter-pink ones I've seen have tufted sleeves, or some other girly detailing. Or they're super slim cut.

I'm having an egg/peanut free cupcake made for her by the woman who is making the real cake. I'll let her do what she wants with it. So far she takes the second nap, though she refuses it sometimes at daycare. If she does that, she'll fall asleep on the drive home and I'll move her to the crib for 30 mins or so to nap. Doesn't seem to affect her bedtime much.

She's always been a good sleeper, used to go right to sleep no problem. Once they move out of the infant room at 12 months, they only take one nap per day. I don't think he was really ready to only have one nap at that time, so he was extra sleepy in the evenings and sometimes would fall asleep in the car on the way home or would go to bed early.After a few months, he was fine. That transition period is kind of rough.

Let them eat cake. They had a cake smash which they loved. On their actual birthday they got shy and barely touched it.
Around 15 mos. They were taking a short morning nap so daycare transitioned them.

Didn't you get the keekaroo? Have you tried it yet? I honestly don't know that the seat is any more supportive than a bump on though. You could also try putting her in your lap.
My question: What can I do for my 6 month old with a cold? No fever, just seriously stuffy, coughing, and sneezing.

We bought our high chair right at 6 months when we started solid food. I figured it was the best thing. The one we got reclines so that was a little more support, but she was sitting pretty well at that point.

Ugh my DD has a cold right now too and I hate not being able to do anything. She's mostly just had a super runny nose, so I'm cleaning it with the nose Frieda and boogie wipes to try to keep her comfortable. I'm hoping she's better soon!
Her last cold we elevated the head of the crib to help her breathe/drain. Although that won't work now since she crawls all over her crib.

I'm wondering if it is teeth also. She has 8 so far (the 2nd bottom set just came in). But I didn't think the next set would come in for a while! She won't let me look. At least she finally fell asleep, now she's taking a long nap. Yay!

Yes. We haven't tried it yet because the infant insert is shallower than the Bumbo and it doesn't have a 5 point harness, so I didn't think it would give her enough support. She's still a month under the 6 month starting age for it. We might try holding her.

1. We did a "smash cupcake." She didn't eat much of it, anyhow.
2. Our one-year-old room at daycare drops to one nap, but we held off until maybe 13-14 months because she was obviously not ready yet. You could try it and see how it goes - if it's a disaster after a week or so, go back to two naps. No biggie.
