Question

This is probably really weird, but we know nipple stimulation and feeding helps increase milk supply? I was wondering, since my baby won’t latch on to me much anymore and I’m not producing enough pumping, if I let her dad ‘feed’ from me for a bit if it would help with my milk?? Since he can ‘suck’ harder than my p...

What words are your babies saying? Do they point at things as if they know what the words mean? 💬

My baby says “Mama” and “Dadda.” I’m not sure he fully understands what they mean yet, but sometimes he says them at the right moments when he wants his mom or dad. It also sounds like he says “doggy” when he sees the dogs around us. And every once in a while, he’ll say a cute little “Hi!” in the mornings ☀️

But he's over 12 months obviously so do I wait until he's 27 lbs and move him to size 5 or move him to size 4 when he's over 22? The age thing is what's throwing me as I've never seen that before. Do they make the toddler…
