When a baby is really young, their parents tend to have a bunch of fears about their little one’s well-being and health. They try to guess exactly what their baby wants and what it is that might be causing them discomfort. But how do you understand babies without using words? Experts outline 3 main methods that can help babies communicate with adults.
Are your dopamine levels low?
T man's favorite holding/carrying position from 6-15 weeks was the sideways "colic curl". This was the only way anyone could successfully hold him and keep him happy. Anything else, and he would cry and scream. Now, I stumbled upon this hold by accident. I didn't know this was an actual "baby hold" until a few weeks after it was working. I saw the "forward" and "reverse" versions illustrated in a book and I realized, Hey! That's what we've been doing! =) The nice thing about the sideways version that we did, was it only required one arm. This way, you can carry baby in your left arm and still be productive with your right (or vice versa) I found though, that once T man got accustomed to the left arm, he all but refused to be held in the right arm. This makes for a very tired arm by the end of the day. But, you do what you gotta do for your baby, right? So, what is the colic curl? Well, you can do this hold 3 ways. Forward, reverse and sideways. Basically, what your doing is making your baby sit "cross legged" just like little kids do when sitting on the floor. You're going to cross his ankles, bends his knees, bring his knees up and make him fold at the waist. This can be done facing you (reverse) typically done while sitting with your legs bent & baby resting against your knees, facing away from you (forward) can be easily done sitting or standing ,or like T man preferred, facing the side (sideways). Once you get the hang of it, it becomes second nature. I was able to scoop up T man in my left arm & with one swift motion, bend him in half and nestle him against my chest. (imagine holding a mixing bowl in your left arm/elbow while baking) If he was having a real good fit, it would take quite a bit of pressure for me to get him to bend at the waist, but once he did, he quickly calmed down and became a much happier baby. It was very common to hear me saying "bend baby, BEND!" =) I hope this helps you relieve some of your baby's discomfort. It worked wonders for us!

Since aspartame first hit the U.S. market in the mid-70s, many doctors have contended that tumors have skyrocketed in the general population.
This past weekend my family and I made a TON of freezer meals in preparation for Braelyn's arrival in the next 6-ish weeks or so (eek!). I know a lot of my fellow #TIUpregnancy girls would love to know what we've made, so I've put it together for you in two word documents! The first is the actual list of freezer meals and the ingredients/instructions. The second file is a one page shopping list. My shopping list was broken down by section of the store I find these ingredients in, thus I bundled them together to make shopping easier. I spent about $400 total on all the food and packaging needs. Please take note, there are not all TIU approved dinners. Rather they are husband and wife approved! My purpose of making these meals in advance was to give us some healthy meals (rather than running to Taco Bell or Sonic nightly out of exhaustion) as well as a few comfort foods to remind us of home. We don't live near family, nor do we have a ton of friends around us to help out once our little one is here. (BTW we totally miss everyone that's decided to move over the last year-ish...yea, we'll make new friends, but we miss you!) With our freezer meals, I was able to make 16 different full meals. Each meal has at least 4 servings with some even up to 24 servings (12 meals for each Neal and myself of our favorite...chicken enchiladas!) We did a lot of "dinner" meals that will have leftovers for the next day's lunch. We also made a few breakfast sandwiches, quiches, and breakfast meats in advance as we a HUGE breakfast eaters. I know some people think it's strange, but I literally cook eggs and bacon or turkey sausage nearly every week day before work. I have always been big on breakfast! If I'm not making that, we have steel cut oats with fruit or on occasion in a pinch, cereal. Attached you will find my list of meals: Freezer Meals by Lively Happenings Attached here you will find a one page summary of the grocery list: Freezer Meals by LH Grocery List At the bottom of your first document (yes I know it's long, but that's 16 meals + some additional info!) you will find my notes/suggestions. I recommend reading that section, even if you aren't interested in all of the meals. (also note, I'm not all about fixing my spelling mistakes everywhere...apologize, lazy mom to be on the little details!) In the list of freezer meals, you will find the following delicious recipes for full meals, chicken broth, and the last 3 are items I freeze to add to meals! Chicken Enchiladas Chicken Quesadillas Stuffed Shells Quiche Chicken Spectacular Chicken & Broccoli White Lasagna Chicken/Spinach Shrimp Pasta Freezer Breakfast Sandwiches (pinterest) (mama and baby love) 16 Bean Soup Chicken Broth Cranberry Russian Chicken Italian Beef for Crockpot Beef Stew Cranberry Pork Roast White Chicken Chilli Healthy Mama BBQ Chicken Freeze Turkey Sausage Patties Strawberry Slices for Oats Cook and Freeze Bacon As a new breastfeeding mom, you may want to take into consideration what you are eating as that relates what your baby is getting from you. A friend sent me this image for a non-colic diet for baby. You can sub out ingedients in my meals to make your diet fit this more. Original Post Found Here Also, another friend has recommended the following to help breast milk supply Mother's Tea, found here in bulk on Amazon A serving a beer - yes even my doctor said this helps increase milk production. That doesn't mean drink a six pack, it means one beer... Oatmeal (hello delicious steel cut oats in the morning and maybe even an oatmeal cookie at lunch!) Look for my future post were I'll give you some of my favorite "Energy Bites" recipes along with other snacks I plan to have on hand for post delivery at the hospital as well as scattered throughout the house to keep handy when I'm feeding the little one and can't quite move around a ton or make a meal. I hope this post is helpful to you! If you have other suggestions of great freezer meals or prep for baby, share below!!!
