@onlyjesus316 Earplugs! If your toddler is anything like mine, this is just the beginning. Mine is a year older and no less rational. One other tips is to hug and hold (or rock) him during meltdowns. I thought my toddler would reject me and want me to let go, but it does help her regulate...

@yoshinat0r It made me so sore early on I couldn't breastfeed for a few days and had to just pump.

@dmurrayfly Why don't you just opt for a 30 hour day? It works for me! Also helps to have an 8 day week where 3 of those days are the weekend so you can get caught up on sleep and household stuff! 🤣

@sabrinagrace Of course, MIL got us one of those AND it's one of my daughter's favorites. Luckily tape over the speakers helps, but I do this with all her toys.

@hashe Of course. I'd do that even if there were no pool!

@hashe How paranoid should I be at the Y leaving my 3.5 year old in their childcare with a pool? My plan was to tell her every single time she is not to go to the pool nor to leave the childcare area by herself at all. As well as telling her she is never allowed to swim unless mom or dad put...

@debbs3692 My thoughts exactly! If my situation were different, I'd love to have 1-2 more kids but it would break me because of traumatic birth, health issues, and no family help.

@simplysamie No effing way I'd let my kid near this. It would be totally inappropriate if it were the school, but a church is even farther over the line. I would for sure complain all the way up the chain expressing how inappropriate this is.

@zastari I bet that was a shock! Did they fit in NB clothes at first?

@mazince514 My daughter was similar weight-wise and did get up to 40oz of formula briefly, but I think she was closer to a year. Are you getting a lot of spit up? If so, could be reflux. If reflux isn't an issue, I'd try 2 split-feedings during the day as this is what the LC recommended for...

@vclr2010 "Glad your CS went so well. Do you want a cookie!?"

@butterscoth Friend had a similar experience with her "9 lb today" baby who was somehow barely 6 that same day. I got an US at 34 weeks that predicted 6.5 lbs at 39w which is worth I unexpectedly delivered my 7 lb 5 oz daughter. She'd been in the low to mid 20th percentile all pregnancy and...

@hashe Any idea why the numbers went up so much?

@martin777 I'm sorry. That's so insulting to tell parents they were using school as daycare when your taxes go to pay for it especially now when the cost of everything has gone up and child care is so hard to find. They shouldn't be using school as a gym/sports complex letting sports...

@kerithravine410 You are a saint! I'm so sorry. He really needs to get with the program.

@learning1 I went down this rabbit hole too, but through research realized lead can be mitigated by making sure your kid has a diet with vitamin C and greens (this stops lead from absorbing); washing their hands a lot especially before eating and sleeping, and; not wearing outside shoes in the...

@ipurr2 My only sibling (also younger) was very similar to yours. She terrorized and stole from our grandparents and is still in and out of jail today. She's dead to me. We never really had a relationship after I left home with the exception of a few brief talks. I'm also no contact with my mom...

@robertnethromik Not in my case in a hospital in the US at least. The midwives pushed interventions and meds in the hospital and didn't follow evidence-based care or listen during my whole pregnancy. Basically they were the exact opposite of how they were presented. My two biggest regrets during...
