https://www.washingtonpost.com/us-policy/2019/02/06/tough-questions-answers-late-term-abortions-law-women-who-get-them/ “The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) refuted that idea in a statement released this week, stating that pregnant women may experience conditions such as “premature rupture o...

Congrats! My kiddo was small for 32 weeks so your baby might be even a wee bit bigger than this.
7,311,303

Yay Science!!!

Lol, all I know about it is it exists. I've never seen an episode.
7,311,305

I was wrong, there are a few states with no limit abortion laws, but let's be honest; it's a non-issue because no one gets to 30 weeks with a healthy baby and goes, oh you know what? I change my mind. It's the child free life for me. I really feel for people that have to have later term abortions. It's an awful choice ...

Honestly, she probably is. My first was born 6 lbs at 37 weeks. This one measured in the 92nd percentile at the anatomy scan. I just went for another growth scan yesterday to check if she's still majorly ahead, but I won't have those results for about a week. She has certainly already stretched beyond her sister's stre...

Exactly! I think we’re saying the same thing here. This only happens when it is a medical necessity and it’s terrible because anyone who carries a baby that long wanted that baby. They had car seats and nursery sets picked out.
7,311,308
mommit
Wow! My little dude was under 3 lbs at 32 weeks. He measured closer to the average for a 30 weeker, they said. Small but mighty. My family has massive babies - mom was 13 lbs, brother just under 12lbs, so it was very weird to have a teenie little thing. Wish you all the best!
7,311,309

6 lbs is 2.72 kg

3 lbs is 1.36 kg

*please* make sure that the carrot is thick/frozen enough that she can’t bite off any chunks. My great-aunt died choking on a chunk of carrot at age 2.
7,311,314

Got a lot of pics of my daughter gumming on a carrot while she was teething! People used to laugh, but it worked better than those plastic things.

So cute! Frozen peas were my daughter’s favorite! Helps with pincer grasp practice too.

Cute! What do you do with the carrot afterwards?

So cute!! I give my daughter carrots but didn't think to freeze them! She had three days of fever and hasn't slept well in a week so I'm guessing there's a big tooth coming in

We did a lot of celery sticks while teething. She loved it!

My son absolutely loves frozen veggies, his favorite food is a frozen pickle. 100% little me

Great idea!!!

Amen

Chyer all good they frozen solid and i constantly watch him with it.
7,311,335

2? My son ate carrots raw at that age just fine. Surely was just a tragic accident? I mean I get that you cut grapes before they are like 3 or can eat them well but a carrot? How are you supposed to let them eat it then?
7,311,336
mommit
Even the pants on the chair in the background read "what's up doc?" Lol
7,311,337
mommit
Totally works for both my kids and i do baby lead weaning too which is the bomb way to introduce food-if it's done safely and correctly of course!!
7,311,338
mommit
We made a breast milk popsicle using one of those silicone fruit feeders and it worked great!
7,311,339
mommit
We would make apple sauce and freeze it in a ziploc. That way we could break off chunks to put in the little mesh teething bags. We also used frozen banana cut into strips in the bags. My daughter loved those!
7,311,340
mommit
Can someone please enlighten a first time mom how the neck test is done to check for warmth/overheating?
7,311,341
mommit
I freeze baby food in those little feeders that look like a giant paci. Or freeze just avocado or banana in them.
7,311,342
mommit
Walmart and amazon sell little mesh teething things that you can put fruit and such in. I put puréed baby food in ice trays to freeze and then put in the teether and it worked charms when my LO was that age (:
7,311,343
mommit
My 5 month old has also been drooling a lot and he is constantly biting on everything including my boobs. I have been giving him his frozen silicon teethers.

Babies need to have good head and neck control to do this with a carrot but my dude was 4 months here with good head and neck control... every baby is different ... he got eye teeth at 4 months which is super strange according to my Doctor
7,311,346
mommit
Perhaps you could make carrotmousse and freeze it like ice-cream, and give that instead? Not sure if it would work just as well... but it might?

Ha ha poop stickers aaand bugs bunny coat are both his 3 yr old big sisters input lol...i didn't even make the connection between the coat and carrot till now!

Same! My daughter still eats frozen peas for a snack, and she’s six.
7,311,349
mommit
Or give it as a snack to the dog!
7,311,350
mommit
Throw it in a soup or eat it yourself.

Yer got a parrot so he gets it afterwards no waste here!

Shredded or cooked. I let my 2-year-old eat thin sticks ONLY when directly supervised and stationary. They’re a similar risk to things like chips and whole nuts - yeah, they can probably chew it but they’re still not experts (my kid is still crap at pacing himself, for example) and it’s easy to bite off a piece the r...
7,311,353

Even adults die of choking on food. It’s not something you grow out of completely.
7,311,354
mommit
Kids are easily choked by things until the age of 5. Even hot dogs and grapes should be cut until then, even if they have eaten them a million times
7,311,355
mommit
A friend’s son aspirated raw carrot around that age. He breathed in while he was chewing and chunks got in his lungs. He ended up in the hospital and had lots of imaging done. Fortunately he did not need surgery or get a major infection. The doctors said toddlers shouldn’t be eating raw carrot. There are just too man...

I think it’s more likely that it was an accident that your son didn’t choke on a carrot.
7,311,358
mommit
Omfg! I hadn't noticed... this picture is perfect!
7,311,359
mommit
Wooow that's a great idea. Definitely freezing bananas and apple sauce.
7,311,360
mommit
Zip locks are absolutely awesome for baby food meal prep! Take up less room in the freezer as well as being easy to snap bits off as you need them and you can write on them as well! Bonus!
7,311,361
mommit
Your idea worked like a charm. Thanks a ton. Frozen apple sauce is such a winner. Of course it causes a mess when it starts to melt but who cares. Bless ya!! My little one doesn't like banana when frozen but he likes it otherwise...
7,311,362
mommit
The back of the neck is a great place to check for over heating- just feel them there- if they are sweaty or too hot there, then they are too warm. Hands and feet could still be whatever temp but if their core is too warm, their neck should tell you
7,311,363
mommit

7,311,364

I think you could! Especially if it's a big carrot like that. She's definitely not going to be able to eat any of it.
7,311,365
mommit
i do at 37
7,311,366

Yeah if you’re worried about the gnaw marks or slobber you could totally make stock out of it and no one would ever know

mommit
Okay well I did cut them for him and I did always watch him as well. But I remember even kids at his daycare having carrots for breakfast with them...in little sticks. Also yes they always have to sit when eat that goes without saying...just seems so weird to me that they would actually choke on carrots. But I guess ev...

Not sure why this comment thread went the way it did... the carrot is frozen... my boy had no teeth at this stage...i was watching him like a hawke...i do baby led weaning and would never put my son in danger... calm down ladies.

7,311,371

I LOVE these for teething. I just put frozen fruit in them, particularly peach slices as they stay fairly firm as they thaw, and let my kid go to town. He’s now picked up my habit of snacking on frozen fruit when not teething, too.
7,311,372
mommit
High in protein, high in fiber, they’re a very healthy snack! I wish I liked them enough to snack on them.
7,311,373
mommit
Carrots were something our pediatrician specifically brought up, on top of the family history. And I mean yeah, ideally every time they eat anything they’re seated and directly supervised, but that’s just not how life always works, so I’m stricter about some foods than others. Carrots are one I’m strict about - in a ch...
7,311,374
mommit
Carrots are pretty hard and difficult to chew for beginners. Lots of raw veggies are. They can eat them, just cooked and/or cut/shredded appropriately.
7,311,375
mommit
Baby led weaning definitely says it’s fine for your son at that age to munch on a whole carrot. I’m not criticizing you at all. I read the book too. The size of carrots goes from whole to finer chopped as they get older to avoid choking.
7,311,376
mommit
Oh boy. If you’re older then I’m ancient. I’m 24 weeks with number 2 and will be 40 at delivery. For reference neither pregnancy (first at 37) required assistance. Fertility is really a crapshoot.
7,311,377

Congratulations! If it helps I just turned 34 in September and am only a few weeks ahead of you having my first. It’s super common with people I know and actually loads of my friends are only just getting to that stage. It’s all relative. Wishing you the best

Congratulations!!!!! FTM 37yrs had my kid 5 weeks ago. The advanced maternal age came with so many nice perks. And honestly, the pregnancy was a breeze. Had to induce 2 weeks early due to sudden blood pressure spikes, but delivery (while long) and recovery has been easy. Being older means less fucks to give and way ...

I had my three kids when I was 35, 38 & 42. They keep me young! And I know that I’m a better mom than I would have been at a younger age. I have more patience and maybe even some wisdom. Not saying young moms can’t have that; This is just about me personally.
7,311,381
mommit
Congratulations! I had my last one at 42 and no regrets, he is a bundle of joy for all of us.
7,311,382
mommit
Fear not! I was 45 when I got pregnant with our first baby and had her at 46, no medical intervention. I felt better pregnant than any other time of my life. She's a perfect, intelligent, well adjusted & healthy 5 year old now. Congratulations!!! You've got this
7,311,383

I was 39 1/2 when I had my last (#4). I swear that girl keeps me young...I can't imagine where'd be if I didn't have her! Fingers crossed for you!
7,311,384
mommit
I commented this somewhere else but most (if not all) of my friends/acquaintances/mommy’s I meet are having their second and third post 35 and into early 40s. I don’t know ANYONE who had kids early, or even mid 20s.
7,311,385
mommit
Woohoo congrats!!! My youngest turns 3 next month and I'm 46. If I can do it, you can too! My baby sister is about to have her second and she's 37. It's definitely not been as easy as it was for her at 30, but she's healthy and has had no complications. Best of luck to you!!!

Three years ago I had my first at 48, (Donor egg ivf), and I don’t even feel like an old mom. Doesn’t feel accurate when I say my age out loud lol.

Congrats, mama! I’ve only ever been an “old” mom. I’m 38, have a 3 year old, and am pregnant with #2. My first pregnancy, I turned 35 right bang in the middle of it and suddenly they wanted to do ultrasounds every 2 weeks, even though baby was developing normally. I felt very special, and it was nice that I got to...

“Older moms” are the norm in my family. My grandma had my dad and uncle at 37, and 39 in 1952, 1954. My mom had me at 37 and my sis at 40 in 1983 and 1986. I just had my first at 37. The stigma older women face at being an “older mom” is seriously ridiculous.

Welcome to the "geriatric pregnancy" club lol! I had my second daughter at age 36 9 weeks ago and we're both doing great! Baby did show up early (34+4 after 200+ hours PPROM) but that had nothing to do with my age, since I had similar issues with my first at 31. The recovery was actually way easier this time, too, and ...

I had three of mine at 35, 36, and 41. I have LOADS more patience than I did when I was a mom in my 20’s. Plus I enjoy going to bed early lol. In my 20’s I wanted to stay up late and sleep late, now I’m in bed by 10.

Im 42 turning 43 in a week and had my LO 2 weeks ago. I like that I now have a much different perspective to raise a baby than when I was in my 20s.
