Good! It's important to see the positives too, even though that's not always easy...or possible. We've lost our minds more than once thinking "well, [this] or [that] will never get better." But, of course, it does. Maybe not 100%, but better.

I ran into that exact same **** with my wife when she was breast feeding. She wouldn't do midnight feedings but they'd still wake up and need t be comforted. My mom suggested supplementing with formula before bed and my wife was just absolutely against it. She didn't get consistent good nights sleep for over a year after our second kid was born. I don't know what to tell you though. I bet if you do convince her to try formula, she'll abandon it at the very first hint that it isn't working. Maybe not. We tried it for like a day |

Understood/ understandable.
I go with the flow, though. So if she complains, I can just say "We are doing it the way you'd prefer" And I disagree with the broken/lazy moms. Some can't produce. Some don't want to ruin their titties. I'm all for whichever way works for whomever. The only reading I did was what was actually the difference between the two. They're fairly similar except the immunities in breast milk and a slight chance of a 8-10 higher IQ value. (Do I care? No.) Do I want the child to be healthy? Absa ****ing lutely haha. |

It's not even just reading it -- it's hearing it directly from family, friends, and even doctors. It's ridiculous.

While looking for something else, I found this and thought I'd call myself out on my own bullshit. I think we need more of that in this thread.

1) It wasn't brief. It's continued, unwavering, to this day. 2) It's not chicken fingers because he won't even eat those. That's right -- THE staple kid food is utterly disgusting to him, along with hot dogs, burgers, and 90% of french fries. Instead of chicken fingers it's grilled cheese every night, which is ok because he doesn't drink milk and needs calcium from some****ingwhere. The only saving grace is that, by and large, the limited things he DOES eat are almost all very healthy. Beans, whole wheat pasta, fruit, eggs, and steamed veggies. He's also a giant kid (see previous page) so it's not like his growth has been stunted, though I can't imagine what a monster he'd be if he ate normally. EDIT: Oh, there has been a verrrrrry dim light at the end of the tunnel. I make outrageously good food [/boastfulbrag] and in the past few months, for literally THE first time ever, he'll occasionally ask a) what are you cooking? and b) oh that smells good. You have no idea how nice it felt to hear those things from him for the first time in 7 years. |

We all judge until we get there. Then we get it.

Single kid parents complaining about picky eaters is so cute. Sure, the youngest only eats grilled cheese. But the middle kid HATES grilled cheese, and only wants spaghetti. The oldest HATES spaghetti and only eats chicken nuggets. No way in hell I'm making three dinners for them. It's a rotating schedule on who picks dinner. They all get fruit and veggies with dinner, so even if they don't eat the main course, they're still eating something. The only consolation is that whenever I make something I like (roasted chicken, chili, ribs, pork tenderloin, pot roast), they ALL complain. |

My kid was a formula baby and he's almost as tall as I am at 12. He's also been a beanpole his entire life. I get that natural is best, but formula worked great for us.

Otters, school me on child bike seats for my (huge) 1 year old to tag along with our family on rides this summer. He's like 95% percentile height, a stout lad. Do I want him behind me? over the front handlebars?
My bike has drop bars, and my wife's has riser bars. Ideally this seat would mate to both bikes, but chances are high it would stay on mine as the wife may be too chicken to ride with my 4 year old on his bike alone without a parent that could quickly maneuver/dismount to rescue him. Speaking honestly, its probably not going to get a ton of use. I'll likely try to find a used seat... just need to know what to be on the lookout for. Thanks all |

Shikidicki has one that looks cool.
I got one that goes behind used. Actually only used it 1x. Got a trailer instead. |

My buddy uses this one, but might be a little much for a 1yr old.

Trailer is safer. I had my daughter on a Thule carrier that we used for ice cream runs. She loved it. Even being a pretty experienced cyclist, there were moments, though.

Continuing about food, my almost 2 1/2 year old is so incredibly picky. There's nothing he absolutely likes that I can feed him and know he's full. Some pizza, nuggets, and fries are the go to but only sometimes, sometimes bananas, cheerios, and peanut butter, but nothing in abundance, besides whole milk. Not sure how else to get him to eat.
Other than that, definitely not terrible twos, yet. No tantrums so far and is pretty well behaved. |
