When starting oatmeal, how often do I give it to her and how much? When do I start gradually increasing the amount? Do I keep giving her the same amount of formula before and then the oatmeal? I tried asking her pediatrician but she wasn't any help..
but everyone does it differently, like @mommybump2016. :) she seems wiser, I'd listen to her!
you're not an idiot! I gave my son oatmeal at about 4 months old and then fruits and veggies around 6 months old. I filled the top with oatmeal and poured it into a bowl, added formula or water and made sure it was a little thicker and fed it to him. sometimes I heated it, he liked it warm for some odd reason lol and sometimes I put it in his bottles (helped with his reflux) @ngujen
yes I do :) the oatmeal will fill baby up faster and that will decrease amount of formula baby eats witch saves formula lol. but I don't measure the oatmeal I just eyeball it. but if baby is good on one oz mixed for oatmeal go to 2 oz :)
@nichole_lynn did you give him oatmeal for awhile before introducing veggies? how did you do it then? I feel like an idiot :/
@nichole_lynn what do you mean by cap? @mommybump2016 yeah I was thinking about doing that! but everyone else did it different :/ do you give the oatmeal first then top it off with milk?
increase to two times a day in a couple days. hope what I said helped! lol
I gave my son a bowl in the morning and a bowl at night and I filled the cap when o started and instead of water I used formula and gradually increased the amount. hope that helps!
try once a day, 1 once milk with some oatmeal make it a little thick but a little runny for the first couple of times , what I would do is make a 6 oz bottle use 1 oz for the oatmeal and the rest give to baby. your baby will let you know if the bottle is too much by leaving some formuls
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...

Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
@nichole_lynn @mommybump2016 thanks ladies!
