Gift it forward! The Nov '2021 Babies Edition ❤

Hello all Glow Mamas!This post is inspired by the original "Gift it forward" topic created by a Glow Mama named Sarah to help more moms get their baby registry items purchased. (Which has been tough given how COVID has impacted many of our daily lives.) The way it works is similar to the ice bucket challenge that started on FB a while ago.STEP 1 → Post your baby registry or baby wishlist in the comment below, and we (Glow) will buy a Glow Premium subscription or some other gift in your registry/wishlist (for a total value of around $20).STEP 2 → If you received a gift, we'll comment on your link.STEP 3 → You then have to find someone else's registry/wishlist in the comments and buy something under $20 for them.Since everyone's babies in this group are born on the same month, consider this as buying a gift for your baby's Glow sisters/brothers!And hopefully, with this, more moms will have their whole registry/wishlist purchased!! 😊Ready? Set? GOOOO!=====IMPORTANT REMINDERS:1. If you decide to buy a gift for someone, please make sure you ADD ORDER NUMBER of the product you purchased!2. If you received a notification that you've received a gift, don't feel obligated to forward a gift until you've received an order number or the physical gift from the gifter.3. If you've decided to participate, you're agreeing to the Community Gifting Rules. Breaking the rules may result in suspension or banning from the Glow Community.Let's keep this positive and continue to gift it forward everyone!

Still feeding 2.5 yr old

My husband and I are still having to feed our daughter, if we don't, she plays with it or won't eat. Any tips on how to help her eat independently?

Officially deleting this app

I’ve nursed my last baby for the last time. We made it to 26 months. 😭. Heart broken and excited to move on at the same time.

Transitioned into toddler bed

Been so worried it will be too much for him (we needed his cot for his brother) but he’s smashed it. Sleeping exactly the same, a few days later we introduced a duvet and it couldn’t have gone easier. Iv read horror stories like your children get up more, cry etc but not this boy! Taken to it like a trooper 🥰 Next stop - no more dummy’s then potty training 🥰🥰🥰

The boys first Christmas 🎄🎅🏼

They definitely didn’t disappoint! Our photographer is amazing, you wouldn’t believe our biggest one cried nearly the entire photoshoot and she still managed to get some amazing photos!

Refusing to sleep in her bed!

My girl has been such a great sleeper from birth (thank GOD bc her older sister was the worst 😅) but we’re running into new territory now where she refuses to sleep in her bed! She seems to hate sleeping in her room and immediately climbs out of her crib so she can sleep by the door…on the floor… what is going on to my amazing little sleeper?!

Nearly 2!

What is going on!!! How is he nearly 2. I can’t love him anymore if I tried. 2 of the best years of my life, seeing him become a big brother 12 weeks ago has completed our lives 🥰

Speech Delay

Hi moms,Anyone else have a little that has a significant speech delay? My son will be 2 at the end of Nov and he has virtually no words. He’s said a few things once but doesn’t repeat. He gets his point across but hasn’t progressed in oral language. He started school a couple weeks ago and is having a very very hard time. I just started work there after coming off my mat leave with him, and I can hear him cry on and off all day and my heart breaks for him. He’s with wonderful teachers but I just feel so disheartened. He’s very sensitive and very introverted. He has been going to a SLP all summer and has a hearing test booked as well as a second SLP consult coming up. We’re doing all the things …I’m just sad. Also I’m 23 weeks preggos with my second so hormones are making me extra emotional and weepy. I’m stressed, tired, and cried the whole 40 min drive home yesterday. 😔

Advice needed!

My daughter has decided to cut out her afternoon nap. I’m 9m pregnant and am really struggling with the fact she’s trying to do this. Since the age of 10m old she has been a 2 hour nap type of girl and only once a day… which mama and dada need… especially with the new baby coming.. is it normal to cut out naps this early, how do we go about it? she’s super close to being two so idk if that means anything for sleep cycles but super struggling.

Tantrums…

Is anyone else experiencing tantrums?? I don’t know if it’s because of new baby and now it’s setting in that his brother is here to stay or it’s just his age! Honestly he turns into the Incredible Hulk at the most random things

Sharing some awesome bedhead today

I don't always wake up with hair this awesome, but when I do you know I'll have my Walrus with me. ;) Saphira is a character for sure!

Brothers 💙💙

Our November baby is officially a big brother 🥲

Not sleeping all night?!

Is any one else’s baby still not sleeping through the night?! This is so damn tough. We want to give him a sibling but I don’t think I’ll be able to do this again if my son still isn’t sleeping all night. We’ve tried changing our schedule and letting him sleep around 10:30 sometimes 11 and he’s still up around 6 like wth

No more naps??

Any of your November babies not wanting to take nap anymore??? My lo loved taking her naps and was very good at it by 1pm she was in her crib and ready to nap now all she does is cry untill I take her out

First vacation!!

Pigeon forge and Gatlinburg, TN

Bottles

What’s everyone’s little ones doing with bottles now? My son only has 1 bottle at night and has for months but thinking of changing it to a cup soon.
