2nd Foster Newborn Placement | Single Mom Plus Two Infants Under 1 Year Old

Baby lead weaning is amazing!! Supply cups aren’t bad. But I get where you are coming from with the sippy cups. Our FS was not having anything to do with a 360 or open mouth cup. Just test the waters and see what he prefers.

Wow this is so exciting!! So happy for you! We have our first foster class this Saturday! We are so ready to love on some babes 💕

We did supply cups. Why are you not a fan?

I saw little baby potato boy since I follow you on IG but I was still so hype to get this notification. My wife and I don't personally know anyone else going through this journey so your vlog is like having a friend who understands ❤

I’m a single foster mom in Florida and I only take in teenage girls. I commend you for taking little ones and couldn’t imagine the amount of work it takes to care for babies. Teenagers are spunky, but they’re self sufficient. Lol

He will get the knack of straw cups...try again...model lip pucker movement and sucking in of jaws...see what happens...
Try giving him something you are drinking through a regular straw...what we are eating and drinking is always more interesting to them...

How many kids are you licensed for? One of the difficult things about my Agency is that they don’t provide any assistance for daycare which is crazy.

Awww that cute little sneeze & the cry!

There are tiny toddler size cups on amazon

I transistioned both off my boys off of bottles and onto soft top sippy cups at 1 year, it’s an easy transition and helps them adjust the the new shape. At about a year and a half I do a switch to the hard top sippy cups. My boys never could figure out those drinking cups you were talking about. I also touchy my boys to drink three straws at a year and at a year and a half by giving them slushees. My kids would understand the sucking, but would get aggravated because they didn’t have instant gratification, gotta suck longer and harder on a straw. So give them a slushy, take a drink to get it started in the straw, it’ll stay in the straw, so when they suck on it they get the I instant gratification. If he isn’t getting the sucking motion for the straw them put the straw in a normal drink and plug the straw with your finger and then put it in his mouth and release the drink. Once he gets how that works make him suck the bottom of the straw before you remove your finger. Good luck!

So exciting! The term “baby uber” cracks me up haha. Can’t wait to hear more about little Dash!

I recommend Munchkin 360 cups...I have babysat many kids

Respect! 💞

With you being single, who looks after Dash while you work? He's still too young for daycare right?

The Munchkin 360 cup is great.

Love!!! I have 2 from the hospital one is now 13m and the other is 5m!!!
Little was 8m old when he came!!
I haven't slept sound in 5m
Daycare has saved my life due to lack of sleep so.....
It's worth it very much!!!
I take them both to daycare from 9 to 2.
Bless u babe

Hi I am looking into starting the foster process and I wanted to gauge if I have enough room for them. I share a two bedroom apartment with a 6 year old. My plan was to put a bunk bed in her room and she can share that with another girl and then my bedroom is big enough to share with a baby. What age does the baby need to have their own room. I couldn’t size up right now because there are no vacant apts/homes in my area. Thank you

I think that’s a great idea about the cup! I finally did teach both mine to drink from a straw with daily trial and error! You just have to keep SHOWING baby how todo it every day and they will def get it sooner than you think if they want the drink! Good luck. Just to put it into perspective: it took both of my kids less than a week at your child’s age to learn!

What are some things do you buy to prepare for a newborn foster baby?
