There's nothing to apologize for, mama. You know better you do better. We have all been there, thinking that everything the doctor said is the correct way. He needs at least 4 bottles of formula right now. It was only a couple days, he'll be okay!

No need to say sorry op!! You're doing your best. You are a kick butt mom and Leo is very lucky to have a mom like you ? Love seeing him on snap!

He should only be having formula. He's about the age where you can introduce solids now. I always starts with the yellows (carrots, squash, sweet potatoes) then greens (peas, greens beens, etc. ) and fruits last. (Apples, bananas, pears, peaches ) instead of juice, try baby food, a much healthier option other than juice.

He's so cute! My first is a Leo too (Leonardo) love seeing the name!

I was just trying to help, no need to get upset.

But why do you keep asking about the seat?? She's right there watching her child. She can have him in whatever seat she wants she isn't doing anything wrong you may have made the mistake of letting your child alone on one but she hasn't she obviously sitting with him

He is too cute!!! My boys (even the 3.5 year old!) always play with my hair like that lol!

On to the unasked for advice lol! I made a big mistake with my oldest not alternating in veggies often enough and it resulted in him being very very picky and having to sneak veggies into him for the longest time and it was such a pain in the ass! If I didn't sneak them in it was a fight that usually resulted in him screaming and me wearing quite a bit of what I was trying to feed him.

Yeah I agree with pp that it does look like my sons high chair because the loops at the back are for the straps to strap him in. He doesn't look strapped in unless she have the bottom strapped. ?

Hmm, don't think so. She has another pic with this same seat in the bath tub it looks like.

Pp that looks like a high chair too me

Unfortunately a lot of pediatricians give outdated advice. It never hurts to do some research.

Also, is this seat on a couch? That's really not safe, hun, as your lo could accidentally tip himself. I unfortunately speak from first hand experience as I made this mistake myself when I was a first time mom. Thankfully I was right next to my lo and caught her when she managed to rock forward. ??

It's just I'm a new mom and I listen to his doctor for everything...

My lo is 13.5 months and I have never given him any juice except for 2 sips of mine (which is half water). I wouldn't give juice unless it's recommended for treating constipation.

You might consider starting some veggies. Some believe the lo can form a preference for sweets if that's what they are fed to start with (just fruit).

Good luck.

We all went through the same learning curve, you're doing great! Glad to hear you've moved to more formula ?

Glad you took their advice!

My 7 month old still gets about 30oz of formula a day. It's very important for their growth and development the first year.

Thank you!

Cute. I love your hair. :)

Leo's father and my dad said it was okay also.... but I followed your advice and have been giving him more formula. My friend tried telling me juice was okay when he was four months old but I never did it until Friday.. I'm sorry ladies.

I'm glad your doing great !! And we are so happy to have you back but you know how helpful we are and only want the best for babies ! But apple juice and water all day is not good at all. He should be having his formula and having some food and some sips of dilated juice and very very little water

I would talk with your pediatrician about his food and drink routine just to be sure he's getting the nutrition that he needs. His diet is very different than the one recommended to me by my pediatrician. And yes, that advice is unsolicited but I'm only trying to be helpful, I hope it doesn't come across as condescending or rude since that's not my intention. He's a beautiful boy and I'm happy to hear you're doing well aside from the concussion, ouch!

Gotta love the unsolicited advice you get on this board. What a cutie!

It's nothing wrong with it at all!

My son won't be having any types of juice until almost a year old. If you are it shouldn't be more then 2-3 oz diluted with water, once a day.

I may be wrong, but that does not sound like enough milk at all. Juice shouldn't be an all day thing and he doesn't need more than 2-3 ounces of diluted juice.

I know ?.

He's been drinking juice and water all day his dad said and two bottles of formula for nap time. He refuses formula unless its bed time and nap time.

I still can't believe he's 6 months old already!!

I'm fine! Just working so much lol. I had a concussion from waking up and bashing my head into my head board when I thought I was late for work and I had two boxes fall on my head while working a double to help with inventory. But I'm better now!

Awww! Girl how have you been?!

Aww how precious! How are you doing?
