This dude has some pretty catchy songs. He was worth his weight in gold on the airplanes last week.

We have one of those as well. But I think I need to return it because I can't get it to play any songs with the music paw.

Did you program it correctly? I had to do it twice because it didn't save all the choices the first time...

Yeah I added like 10-15 songs (however many it lets you download). Everything else is programmed correctly (favorite food, etc), so not sure why this isn't working

My son got this on his 1st bday in November. It's already been put away and replaced by new Christmas toys. Yes, the songs were stuck in my head for quite a while. I also think it's funny when they place his name in the middle of songs. The pause is too long giving my wife and I a chuckle every time.

Oh yea. The pause is hilarious. Our sons name is two syllables and there is a pause between them, which is equally has funny.

Okay you start on the boobie but have a bottle ready that is warm, *suck suck suck* quick slip the side into the bottle but in the same position as the boobie, let that go for a bit, then transition into whatever hold you like. Each time shorter on the boobie, shorter on, then directly to bottle. Least that's what we did.

My wife can give him the bottle. No one else can. A stranger...forget about it.

Working on them not being strangers over the next 2 weeks.

Got to pull an all nighter due to 2 of my 3 kids retching all of their beds. Party is still going strong. It's only a matter of time before the 3rd and then mom and dad get it. Long weekend plans gone. A lot of laundry and disinfecting to look forward to. My house is basically the Motaba River Valley right now.

We've managed to avoid that nasty stomach bug going around. I feel though it's only a matter of time...

It plowed through the meow household about a month ago. Once you accept the fact that the bathroom is your bedroom, dining room, living room, and bathroom for the next 24 hours, it doesn't seem as difficult.

I prefer a bucket beside my bed so I can puke in comfort. I then will ring a bell and have the child that is hopefully better by then, dump and refill the bucket with water and rose pedals.

The Flu has been pretty wretched here. We've missed it so far. Wife had the stomach bug this week, but miraculously, no one else got it.

How's the flu where yinz are?

Well we're not weaning yet, which is another challenge as far as getting the bottle integrated. The kid wants bewbs. My wife will nurse until 12-14 months.

The sitter used a syringe yesterday. It's not ideal, but it's enough for the day until he feasts after my wife gets home.

Wife goes back in a little over 1 week and the same thing, more or less. My daughter is having lots of reflux issues too, so my wife is extra paranoid about her being at daycare with all of the aspirating and gasping that she does. Next Monday will not be a good day.

Have you tried different formulas? Or if she's nursing, eliminating different foods from her diet?
