Feeding Tuesday: Baby Mum-Mum Rice Biscuit

I’ll admit it: we relied heavily on the Mum Mum when my first son was little. In fact, we bought them in bulk and kept packets in both of our strollers, in the diaper bag, in my regular bag… heck, anywhere. They’re portable, not too messy, pretty tough to choke on, and my goodness do babies love these things — it buys you 15-20 minutes of peaceful eating at the table. Now that we’re at the Mum Mum stage with my second son, I’m so happy to be back. We always got banana in bulk ($16.74 for a pack of 6), but that’s us. Hot-Kid Baby Mum-Mum Banana Flavor Rice Biscuit

And — here are some of our latest threadjacks of interest – working mom questions asked by the commenters!
- The concept of “backup care” is so stupid…
- I need tips on managing employees in BigLaw who have to leave for daycare pickup…
- I’m thinking of leaning out to spend more time with my family – how can I find the perfect job for that?
- I’m now a SAHM and my husband needs to step up…
- How can I change my thinking to better recognize some of my husband’s contributions as important, like organizing the shed?
- What are your tips to having a good weekend with kids, especially with little kids? Do you have a set routine or plan?
I’ve found that plain rice cakes (broken into small pieces) are just as good as the Baby Mum Mums, and cheaper too. My daughter had no problems mashing them up even before her teeth started coming in. I also opted to give her multigrain Cheerios instead of buying expensive baby puffs.
Hi folks. Looking for some advice from you moms re: bathtubs. We’re planning on ttc this summer and are considering some home upgrades. Our current bathroom has a large stall shower but no bathtub. My husband says a tub is not important for infants/small kids. My thoughts are that it would be important. Any insight into the need for a tub or any other home improvements before baby?
My kiddo has a dairy/soy allergy and we are coming closer to the 6 month mark where our doctor said I could try to reincorporate dairy and soy into my diet and see how things go (baby is exclusively breastfed right now). Has anyone had any experience with adding foods back into their diet in this situation? I would love for it to go well so that I could consider offering formula once a day, but I am scared! I know they make special formula for this allergy, but it undergoes a lot of processing and supposedly tastes less-than-great, so I don’t really want to use it.
Speaking of food…my son is 5.5 months old. He had a rough day at daycare yesterday and his providers seem to think that the 16oz of breast milk I send with him isn’t enough. They want him on formula and cereal. I think his rough day was probably due to teething and not hunger as he often only has 12 oz while there (Frankly, I think they are of the mindset that breastfed babies must be starving all the time. He’s been growing just fine and has plenty of wet/dirty This morning, I sent him with 16oz of breast milk and 6 oz of formula (this would be the first day he tries formula and I asked they they try to start with that bottle to see how it goes. At least that way any unused breast milk bottles can be used tomorrow). But I have started thiinking about solids. He isn’t quite sitting up unassisted and I’m reluctant to use cereal. I’d rather start with some smashed banana to see how he likes it.
My question is, how did you handle the transition to solids when sending your child to day care 5 days a week?
Yup, my kid choked on one of these. He literally shoved the entire thing in his mouth when I turned my back for a second, and I had to use a finger to scrape it all from clogging the back of his throat. He is one of those kids who loves food, but doesn’t get that you can’t actually just shove everything we give you in at once.
Oh man, I saw the title “mum mum” and thought it was going to be about these little spoon things I recently saw on amazon– the num num dips. Have any of y’all used those? Its a sort of training spoon, where the spoon holds the food on with surface tension. I think I’m going to order some in about a month and see how it goes.
Ok, so this is a TMI post – almost two months after doing sleep training, my 12-month old kiddo is still sleeping a solid 11 hours most nights. However, she is waking up earlier and earlier with poopy diapers, and gets really, really sad about it. So she has to be changed, and she won’t go back to sleep after being changed. She went from consistently sleeping until 7 am to waking up some mornings by 5:30 and rarely makes it past 6:15. It means that my lovely morning routine of showering by myself and getting things packed up is out the window, because I can’t predict when she’ll wake up anymore and I can’t force myself into the shower by 5:30.
Any suggestions? She is eating like a horse right now and may be going through a growth spurt, so maybe things will settle down once she’s done with that?
Any advice on how much to feed a baby who recently turned one? I’m struggling with how much to pack to send her to daycare. Today I sent her with one hard-boiled egg, about 4 oz of a pasta/broccoli concoction, about 4 oz of cut up fruit, 5 oz of formula, and 5 oz of cow’s milk (the plan is to transition her to 100% cow’s milk over a few days). Too much? Not enough? She had some yogurt in the morning, and she’ll have something for dinner. She’s got a healthy appetite, so I don’t want her to get hangry. I’ve looked online but can only find calorie estimates (e.g., “a 12-month-old should have about 1,000 calories a day”), which I don’t find all that helpful. And our 12-month appt with our pediatrician isn’t until Saturday, so I’m looking for some practical advice to carry me through the next several days. Thanks in advance!
Any recommendations for Mom groups in DC?
I’ve heard about PACE, but I don’t really understand how it works. You pay for the workshops?
I’m in the Columbia Heights/Petworth area.
We just got a box of Baby Mum-Mums in our bluum box yesterday – after the melamine scare, I’m not sure if I feel comfortable feeding the baby something that is made in China and may contain traces of milk. I guess I’m being too paranoid?
Does anyone have a recommendation for a travel car seat? We have the Chicco NextFit for our regular car seat, but we are thinking about getting a lighter, smaller car seat to take when we fly somewhere for vacation or family visits. Does anyone have something like this that they like? (DS is 18 months old, so still rear facing but not in an infant seat anymore).
