Yeah, my youngest does that without trying it. Just looking at it, "I don't like it." and then the whole family sighs. Drives me bonkers.

Small portions, try hard to make it look interesting, visuals are important. It's what the nurses do at the hospital with admitted kids anyway. Different setting, granted, but it works wonders
No problem with our soon to be 1 year old girl. She eats veggies, rye bread cutouts, rice in small amounts, fruits- especially bananas and strawberries, water, blended stuff - and I can spoil her with chocolate, ice cream, small sips of coke. Haven't found anything she doesn't like and consume with great joy. I dread the 'I don't like it' part

Initially I had no problems. Made my own "baby food." Pureed veg and fruit. Never a problem.
Once he's 3, the "I don't like started." It's a decision on their part, which requires stamina on the parents part. Be consistent.

One thing that I always say is to never lie to your kids. Don't threaten discipline and never do it. This only teaches them that they can get away with stuff. So it's really important to carry through on everything you say. So, the most difficult part is to actuallysaythings that you are actually willing todo. If you hold up your end of the bargain, your kids will stay in line for the most part.

Our newborn has started sleeping longer at night too. Last night down at 1030 up at 545, then back down at 615 and slept until 9. My wife and I were super spoiled to get so much sleep compared to the last two weeks! Someone earlier mentioned gas. Yesterday our ped. gave us the ok to try Baby Bliss Gripe Water. Baby was super fussy after a feeding this afternoon and within 10 min of giving her the gripe water she was alseep. I guess it settled her stomach or something, but I like the results so far!

Consistency is good. Threatening with violence, not so much. I think it's important that kids learn it's okay to change their minds as well as for you. Information is key

Water is clean and non-chlorified, fresh and cool from the faucet here. You realize I don't give her soda on a regular basis, right? She digs the bottles, think they're fun to play with. I let her taste the cap with a few drops on it a few times, what of it? I'm certain I know more about nutrition than you do, numbnuts

Is there a reason you're being a douche in a reply that I said I wasn't giving you a dig over?
I'm fairly sure soda in any amount is terrible. Again I wasn't "calling you out" or whatever, I was just surprised by it, which I even said in my first post. Calm yourself son and chill on the childish name calling.
As for how often you do it, no, you made no mention of it. All you said id you spoil her with chocolate, ice cream and small sips of soda. There was no quantity nor how often you do it listed. If you want to reply in a douchey way at least do so at appropriate times, not when someone has a question for you when you gave none of the information you then tried to reply and be clever with.

Heh, yeah, wait a couple of years. At 1 they are all little impressionable angels. In a couple of years they get hard headed as fuck.Small portions, try hard to make it look interesting, visuals are important. It's what the nurses do at the hospital with admitted kids anyway.

Sigh. It was implied, to me at least, backup up by my earlier posts of letting hertastenew things, that it was not a part of her regular diet. But sure, take it out of context and make a big deal out of it. Good job. Have a Leffe, numbnuts
Anyway, I'll shake my head and simply say: how about you get back to spanking your kid, Mr. moral high ground?

Again, why are you getting so defensive when all I did was ask you something? You keep lashing out at something I specifically told you was something I was surprised to hear (see) you say and wanted clarification on. Good Lord dude you can't even carry on a normal conversation without getting all bent out of shape? Really?
Also stop with the name calling (be it directed at me or anyone elses, same as I told Ark in another thread in this section) or else see yourself out of the thread.

Haha, I'm sure you're right
I enjoy every minute I spend with her. We're waiting for her to take her first unassisted steps. She storms around all over the place, along sofas, walls and with walkers. My favorite moments are when she tries to scale stuff, she simply lifts her leg like in Monty Python silly walks. Leg goes up and by magic you get elevated to higher grounds. That's how gravity works

It's funny because it flips back and forth. Angles. little hell raisers. angels then rebellious. My oldest I've no doubt will soon be entering his teen phase of testing boundaries and just not listening to parents no matter what. That'll be a fun one I'm sure.
Though he's pretty laid back and really sensitive, wears his heart on his sleeve. I almost wish he'd toughen up a bit but at the same time I love him the way he is but he's gonna get hurt at some point if he doesn't get a thicker skin....that's all I really worry about with him being that way. My daughter though, holy shit I'm not looking forward to her reaching that stage at all. I'm convinced it'll be the end of my sanity.

You're dishonest, you take info out of a context and try to mask your jabs in what seems like innocent questions. Your fake surprise is apparent to anyone. Your childish games are boring me now.
So. Get of my back or get bent.

Oh, you have one child, and that child is one?
How cute.
Please, tell me all about raising my 12 year old twins. I'm 100% sure you've got the best advice ever. Tell everyone else how to raise their children, too. You're doing a fantastic job. Every parent in this thread thinks a lot of you.
