Mac & Cheese – Great food for teething babies!
Kraft Macaroni & Cheese
When your baby starts teething, you really focus on ways to comfort your child. You invest lots of time in teething rings, toys, and ibuprofen. You may not realize that your baby’s sleep can be drastically affected as well.
Let’s think about it. How much food would you eat, if your mouth really hurt?
By now you’ve probably started to give your baby some real table food, in addition to bottles, and of course mommy. I’ve noticed that my son is not eating as much as he used to from all of the above sources. This means he’s going to be hungry and wakes up screaming for food in the middle of the night.
The solution: Good ol’ Mac & Cheese at dinner time.
Here’s why:
1) Kids love the flavor (I know I still do)
2) The noodles are soft and very easy to eat.
3) If you let the noodles cool down, they can be clumpy – which makes for great finger food (my son likes to feed himself).
and
4) It’s cost effective.
The bottom line: Teething babies still need to eat – and parents really need the sleep.
Don’t just bring the Car Seat – Bring The Base Too!
Most car seats can be installed with a belt or latch system. When you travel and leave your base behind you’re typically forced to use the belt system. This is typically not a big deal if you’re not going to be in and out of the car a lot. However, it will definitely be a problem for your little one if you’re going lots of places in a single day. Here’s our story:
We’re relocating to another state and need to find a new home. On our first trip we didn’t bring the car seat base and the belt rubbed against our son’s legs when we took him in and out of the car seat. On our second trip we brought the car seat base and it was much easier. He was able to take his naps and be comfortable; I got my exercise as I took the car seat (with baby inside) in and out of the car to look at houses.
By far this was the best way and I highly recommend it.
So, don’t just bring the car seat – bring the base too!
