@wingsofeagles2012 It’s very understandable to be tired. And totally ok for your husband to take on some jobs too it’s not all on you I do think the more you work at consistentcy the easier life will be and the less tired you will be. But it is very hard in the beginning and a very normal...

@simply_amazing Yeah I didn’t know about them either! Love all the options that exist

@wingsofeagles2012 I would say for this you need to just be very firm. Do not give attention or anything. Just pick up, back to the bed, leave. Not in a mean way but just business like. And in general you need to be very consistent in your parenting for this to work. My littles know I do not...

@wingsofeagles2012 Are you trying to actually make her go to sleep? You can’t make people go to sleep, not even littles When I have a little who doesn’t want to sleep at the time I need to I just tell them they need to do quiet time (so they can sit in their room looking at books in their...

@simply_amazing What about something like those G diapers at least until you get more water? They’re like a reusable cover with compostable inner. I haven’t used them but my friend liked them fine

@drizzt777 It is 100% morally fine for any woman to choose not to breastfeed for any reason. No woman has an obligation to breastfeed. If every woman on the planet decided to not breastfeed that would be fine by me. That being said. This is a science based sub. The WHO, CDC, AAP all...

@jamessmith112 I would say practicing being apart from her for longer and longer stretches is the only real thing that will help here. Not suggesting cry it out just practice

@driltech She’s 80 years old. She’s probably not going to do much of anything differently especially with that attitude. Just supervise and limit interactions

@jamessmith112 And she will wake if you aren’t touching her the entire time while she sleeps?

@jamessmith112 Does she need your attention 24/7? If you’re not touching her or looking at her, she what cries the entire time?

@erinrohman When I was a nanny I used to work with parents on these exact issues so I’ve had a lot of time to think about it. Hard to get across the complexity in a Reddit comment though. Definitely why I have enjoyed parenting as much I do even with strong willed kids

@lookx009 I mean I think yes there are a lot of factors that go into it. Of course children are going to make messes I am not trying to say that any child will somehow never make a mess. I’m more addressing the issue of constantly feeling very overwhelmed by mess and constantly cleaning. I’m...

Do not give any attention to negative behaviors. You are giving him a ton of attention for the throwing and he loves it and thinks it’s a game and a good way to get attention. If he is throwing something, simply immediately take it away without comment or reaction of any type. Zero attention...

@benzohar I mean this isn’t normal tbh. Like tantrums are normal but what you are describing is not. You could consider family/child therapy at this point. It’s very hard to give advice without seeing how the dynamic is playing out. You could try reading the book “hunt gather parent”...

@ufekevom I want a million dollars and a private chef. And yet…. I would only do cry it out if I needed it for safety like if my mental health was being severely impacted or I couldn’t drive safely because of sleep issues. Otherwise it’s a no from me. It causes so much stress to the baby...

@lorilu05 Seriously why are we putting up with this

@laurie4321 I’m sorry you are having a hard time. Please know I am not giving medical advice and my advice only applies to neurotypical, well children. Also know that I’m not judging or criticizing you. You need to learn to set and keep consistent firm boundaries with your child and stop...

@reformedjen Other people don’t need to touch your baby in general The only reason I would see this as an issue is if the daycare workers can’t provide effective safe care for her because of it?

@psalm51flower I’m not trying to convince you to bedshare that’s a very personal decision. Nor am I giving medical advice. I do know that Absolute risk is very low yes particularly with the precautions you have in place. SIDS peaks between 1-4 months and rates go down a lot after six...

@tom34 If his weight gain is fine, why would you change anything? Especially in a way that sounds stressful for you and him
