Dentist

Hi mamas! When did you take your LO to the dentist or when are you planning to? Mine has a healthy number of teeth and I have no clue when I’m supposed to take her.

I took mine when she was 11 months when she first started getting her teeth

Avatar

I’m taking her once my open enrollment for insurance comes around to add her on it. I would’ve taken her already because she’s got around 10 teeth but im not paying out of pocket for that. We brush and floss her teeth regularly so im not concerned

My dentist says the earlier the better so as soon as they get teeth. Mostly just so they get used to it

I didn’t know we were supposed to take him to a dentist . We brush his teeth often.

I took mine at 12 months. They just look at the teeth to make sure everything looks ok and then quickly clean them with a toothbrush and show you how to properly brush their teeth

I took my son at 6 months and again at 12 months.

My son has his first appt in February. But his dentist is a member at our church, so she did check his teeth when they first started coming in. Even gave fluoride

My ped told me to go when she’s 2

Taking mine at about 18 months

Hi, I’m a dental assistant. Typically at my office, we like to see to see them when they get their first tooth. Some offices say when they turn one. They should be having checkups every 6 months to get them used to seeing the dentist. It makes it easier for us in the long run. My son had his first check up at 6 months and again at 1 year, his next check up is coming up in April.

Partner no longer wants baby #2

Before our son was born we originally both wanted minimum 2 kids but we were hoping for 3-4. My partner found the birth traumatic to watch and also struggled a lot with the newborn/baby stage. He no longer wants to have any more children and it’s completely breaking my heart. I need another baby. We’ve spoken about it a lot and the options. He said he wasn’t COMPLETELY closed off to it so I asked him to try and work through his feelings and reconsider his decision. He eventually said he definitely doesn’t want another. I know that I will always want one and my feelings will never change. Do we have to break up or does anyone know anything else I can do to help change his mind? Has anyone else’s partner said this and then changed their mind? I don’t want to break up because I adore him and our life together and I’d hate to split up our family for “selfish” reasons and make my son miss out on having both of us together but I just don’t know what to do

Nursery funding

My child turned 9 months last week. I applied for government funded hours nearly 2 months ago and so well within the required timeframe for the April term, however upon receiving my first invoice without the funding applied and having questioned this, I have now been informed that the stretched funding doesn’t start until 4th May.

Has anyone else been told it won’t start until May?

The government site states it should start from April 1st, and so I intentionally set my nursery start and return to work as the start of April for that reason, knowing that I wouldn’t be able to afford the nursery on my sole income without the funding

Jealous of my husband

I’m so jealous of him and it’s making me resentful. We have a ten week old and I’m jealous that he is at work all day. I’m jealous he can leave for lunch and actually eat an uninterrupted lunch. Take a phone call uninterrupted. Chat with a friend he runs in to uninterrupted. Even go to the bathroom when he wants uninterrupted. He comes home from work when he wants. He’s not on a set schedule. Some days are late some are early. It depends on when he’s done. I’m jealous he can come home at 10pm and shower, eat and go right to bed uninterrupted because I already have the baby asleep. He doesn’t have to worry about anything house wise or baby wise because I’ve done it all. Meanwhile I’m covered in puke and crap and smell like rotten milk. When he is home he is VERY active and helpful. So it’s not that. I’m just jealous his world hasn’t changed and mine has I guess. This isn’t something he’s doing wrong so I’m not sure how to get past this. I wish I could keep him home all day because that’s how helpful he is, but I understand he obv needs to work.

Toddlers

How often are your toddlers asking for food? My oldest who is 3 just finished a whole plate of food and not even 10 minutes later he’s requesting more food. I know he’s going through a growth spurt, but how do you respond to this.

He has no respect for anything to do with me.

Husband and I decided to separate 3 days ago. I've been sleeping on the floor in the kids room, and we both have to stay in the same apartment for a while. He wont stop pushing little things and I am reaching my limit. Photos in comments
