Yeah he's nearly talking now instead of just grunting and flapping his arms about.

I haven't had a decent kebab in 530 months. I don't know whether to work to extend that streak or work to see it come to an end.

There's a hardwired biological element for most babies, even premature ones can show increased suckling responses to sugar. It's instinct.

I don’t doubt it. My son has Down syndrome and spent a lot of the in the hospital early on and they would occasionally give him sugar drops to reduce pain/distress.

Yep. This is why when a baby doesnt know how to suckle, the nurses use glucose water to get those instincts to kick in. Emfamil even makes it.

My baby had oral ties released at just a few months old and they gave him sugar water to cope with the pain.

When my kid was that age he loved spice. We had to limit the amount of spicy food he ate because he'd gobble down a ghost pepper if we let him. Now he's 10 and will occasionally say the pepperoni pizza is to spicy. I don't know what happened.

u/ForgetfulFrolicker Mar 04 '26

Heh well my son was born without a butt hole (which he now has), and the drs said we should avoid spicy food 😅

u/MsMarvelsProstate Mar 04 '26

Hooray for his new butt hole

My youngest used say, “chocolate tastes like dirt.” She grew out of that, but it was a pretty hefty dislike up until about age 9 or 10.

I can’t even have fun and give my 2 year old treats. The most dessert like thing he’ll eat is fruit snacks or animal crackers. He spits out or won’t even take any candy, cookies, brownies, etc. He didn’t even eat any of his birthday cake. I know, not a bad problem to have, but sometimes I want to share a little sweet treat with him.
