This bud is a volume eater. He’s tall and skinny so weight isn’t an issue here but the kid just eats. Morning till night. He has an anaphylactic dairy allergy so I cook most of his meal from scratch or hand pick all his snacks and we have to pack him an adult sized lunch box packed to the brim when we go out. Sometimes he will just eat for like 2 hours. I guess this would take preference to the stage they survive off air and raspberries but goodness.

My island is still very much under construction but come on over!

Hi all,

My 16 month old son has (now managed) and an anaphylactic dairy allergy. I’ve been told by more than one medical professional that he will likely have childhood asthma (although showing no signs yet) because they all share the same genetic factor. I’m just curious how likely this actually is, holding on to a chance it’s not guaranteed. I’m ok with anecdotal experience as well.

Thank you.

Unfortunately there’s some tough stuff going on in my family and I’ve been crying a lot this week. I’m trying not to let it affect my parenting at all but I’m having a hard time containing my grief and at moments I’ve been crying quite hard in front of him. Trying to fake smile and be cheerful in between tears so I don’t upset him. After I put him to bed last night I really cried, loud and long, he stayed asleep the whole time and luckily, I didn’t personally wake him up. But, when he did wake, maybe 45 minutes later (as he does) and I picked him up, for the first time absolutely ever he put his head on my shoulder and and hugged and squeezed me instead of bucking and crying (night wake up things). He’s just started hugging his toys and I get a little cuddle here and there if he gets some screen time, but never like this. I felt a bit guilty as I never want to emotionally appropriate or have my child soothe my emotions but it was also one of my most beautiful moments of motherhood so far. We swayed in his room and did some butterfly kisses and then he went back to sleep.
