J keeps eating with his left hand. I'm trying to encourage both but he really seems to prefer the left. I know it's early, but did anyone's kids start showing a hand preference so young? We have quite a few lefties on both sides (including me).
Z has been showing a very strong preference for using his right hand. He is almost 11 months.
We are going through this right now as well. We are using the humidifier and pushing liquids as much as possible. Trying to suction the nose with the bulb syringe with every diaper change also. This is day 3 and he seems better, his nose is no longer running much but he has a bad cough. He loves baths so we give him an extra long one thinking that might help him too.
My little 4 pound 4 oz. baby caught up. He is not a huge baby now by any means, but at 10 months he is 21 pounds and somewhere in the middle of the "normal range".
My baby was born at 37 weeks and was in the NICU for a week. Our ped told us that we could start WCM any time after 9 months. We just started a few days ago at 10 months.
My 10 month old has started grinding his teeth. He has just gotten his top teeth in so I don't know if it is a new "skill" he is mastering or what it is. Any one else's baby do this or know how to discourage it?
My younger cousin wears glasses that are more like swimming goggles. He is a little bit older than your kid, but they really seemed to work for him and his family. He felt cool because they were more like super hero glasses. He could still take them off but it wasn't like they would fall off. Maybe not an option now but maybe when he is slightly older.
My kid is 9.5 months old and has 1.5 teeth. Since about 9 months we have just fed him whatever we are eating for dinner. Pasta, sandwiches, sweet corn, etc. Since we stopped purees I worry about vegetable intake, but I try to give him as many veggies as possible. We just tear the food into bit size pieces and put them on his tray. He seems to do okay with that, when he wants to anyway.
At our 9 month appointment our ped suggested that we slowly make the transition to whole milk and by 12 months Z should be totally off formula. I trust our doctor and I have always felt confident with his advice, but I have never heard of this. Everything I have seen on here and read elsewhere say to start whole milk at a year. Anyone else's pediatrician in agreement with this?
When Z gets into something that he shouldn't, I say name and then I tell him that he doesn't want to play with that and then I go get him and take him back to his toys. When I say his name he looks at me like he knows he is doing something that he shouldn't. He doesn't throw a fit or anything at this point, but will often try to go find something else he shouldn't.
