@nader1 My son is formula fed and 8 months and still wakes 1-2 times a night most nights. My daughter was breastfed and weaned herself by 8 months. But, my daughter slept poorly and was sensitive about it and my son, aside from waking to eat, sleeps well. But! If you do formula then someone...

@sh419ob Honestly, pacis were a lifesaver to us during teething. It’s obviously not good to give your kid Tylenol or Motrin every night, but it made a huge difference for our kids with teething pain and self soothing. I would caution you not to worry about doing everything perfectly. It...

@dkeefe “Any relative as carer gives the best outcomes” that alone is easily disproved by the number of people who’ve been abused by family members who were trusted caregivers.

@chenml60 Ok, then formal sleep training isn’t an option yet, but if you are open to sleep training as a whole I would definitely post there. There are small things you can start to do. If you check out the book precious little sleep then there are “SLAP” methods you can start to implement in...

@chenml60 How old is your baby? I’m sorry you’re struggling. Personally I was never comfortable bed sharing when I was breastfeeding or bottle, because I was too scared and also I’m a light enough sleeper that I would hardly get any sleep anyway. I chose to sleep train to avoid it, that being...

@doomedhyclic I’m so thankful for your comment! Here I was thinking I’m the only one that doesn’t clean our toys unless it’s just to get off visible grime. Or if they’re from the consignment shop I’ll give them a wipe down. I’m glad to see someone who’s read into it can justify my lazy based...

@lazzy I agree with this. I took pacis away from my daughter easily at 1.5, she didn’t try again when I had my son and his pics were around before she turned two. My friends kid was a thumb sucker and now they’re going on two and you can’t really take a thumb away

@hankjensen We use a doorknob cover. I’ve heard it’s a red flag for cps, but I’m confident that won’t affect our lives, and before that she was screaming and crying and getting physical trying to run past me. I can’t imagine that simply not being able to open the door is more traumatizing than...

@silverbutterflywings Both my kids ate all their meals at the counter in their kitchen helper. They like having the power to get in and out

@richardson217 I think there’s a YT video of Samuel L Jackson reading this!

@johnscurry My son took 2 months for blood in his stool to develop and when we switched his spitting up got a bit worse for a week or so, I think it just takes time to get used to. Same happened with solids, although I think he also tends to overeat more with solids

@konradpankoff Lol no, my 3 yr old wakes to see me and I offer the toilet then straight to bed. She has an iron bladder (and doesn’t drink enough) and can easily hold it til morning. I think it’s just dumb luck. Everything I’ve read says it’s hormonal, but her bladder is better than mine lol

@amayasasaki My daughter recently struggled hard with sleep, starting just before she turned 3, and she’s 3.5 now and we finally have had a few weeks of being back to a good place. (Proof is in the post history). Put a spill proof water bottle in the bed with a 1/4 cup of water. Go pee right...

@javier_is_life And teething pain! Yours will probably stick with it more when the teeth start, it’s a huge help

@loveisintheairkathryn I didn’t have mastitis but for clogged ducts I’d take a shower when it was getting full and painful and hand express enough to be comfortable. Doesn’t need to all come out. If you drain it entirely it tells your body you need more, or that was my understanding. Hot...
