    Nurse told me to stop breastfeeding at night

    @amandak695 This advice is outdated at best. Continue to nurse your baby on demand, as breastfeeding fills all nutritional requirements (but supplement with vitamin d and iron). I’d try baby led weaning! My LO was never really interested in purées or spoon feeds, but she took really quickly to...

    I struggle when hearing friends talk about sleep training..

    @katrina2017 Yeah I mean it sounds like our difference in thought is mostly a semantic one! Cheers! Good luck with your performance review haha.

    I struggle when hearing friends talk about sleep training..

    @katrina2017 I think you’re over complicating things here. Babies are not “technically” manipulative. Manipulation is an advanced social skill. Babies cry because they perceive something they need (comfort counts), and only have the one way to signal a caregiver. And again, babies don’t learn...

    I struggle when hearing friends talk about sleep training..

    @zach0024 Yeah making connections between past and present events is a developmental thing that takes time. I mean, babies don’t even have a grasp on object permanence until around 6mos. Just like “self soothing”…. That requires some pretty advanced emotional skills that kids don’t have until ~3...

    How do you control your rage when your child physically hurts you?

    @laurie4321 This is so hard. Idk if any of this will help— my LO is only 15 months old so a very different developmental stage, but she is extremely language advanced (like, 2-3 year old language milestones advanced). She occasionally lashes out and hits/bites me. I always respond with a very...

    What happens if I never sleep train my baby?

    @opinionsareopinions So I have been cosleeping (bedsharing) with my little one since she hit the first sleep regression. She’s 16mo now and we still cosleep but she almost always sleeps through the night! She has little phases when she’s teething or going through a developmental leap where she...

    10 month old not sleeping. Losing it

    @jesussavedme2017 I know, it seems counterintuitive to make them stay up when they’re tired… but in my experience it made things level out quickly. You really want to make sure that nighttime is consistent. Keep activities reaaalllly mellow and dimly lit or not lit at all if she does wake up in...

    10 month old not sleeping. Losing it

    @jesussavedme2017 Dang this sounds so rough! My LO had a milder version of this around that age. Naps were so inconsistent and all over the place for about a month. Bedtime and wake time were almost always reliable though and the longest “split night” we ever had lasted 20min… also exclusively...
