@laurie4321 There is no ‘appropriate’, it completely depends on the child and many kids drop to 1 at 12 months. My daughter’s bestie dropped to 1 nap at around 10mo - admittedly VERY early! My daughter literally dropped it the month after turning 1, along with most of her peers from our mums...

@sherbetmayhem It really wasn’t bad for us, she just had to go to bed a little earlier a couple of nights from memory whilst she extended her nap from the 30 minute cat naps. I love one nap schedule, so much more freedom!

@yesterday987g I get you - in my opinion it sucks for us and them but they get over it so fast. It’s just their way of learning, testing and it’s our job as good parents to teach them that sometimes we HAVE to do things we don’t want to. I truly believe that otherwise we’ll end up with kids...

@yesterday987g I appreciate respecting children’s autonomy but ultimately - a 2 year old most of the time cannot rationalise WHY something needs to happen. As parents we HAVE to do things they don’t like sometimes - brushing teeth tsp they don’t fall out, not eating all the chocolate/ice...

@sherbetmayhem It’s all possible! All you can do is try but I will say, stick with the one nap for a few days at least, it took my little one a week to properly transition from 2 to 1 and she went from a 30 min nap to taking 2hr naps. It was SUCH a relief!

@sherbetmayhem Drop one of the naps - 1 is a completely normal age to go to one nap. It’s totally child dependent but sleep recommendations are AVERAGES, all kids will vary so much so just do what suits her, don’t try and mould your kid into a schedule just because someone said it’s the right...

@diademjewel May get downvoted but… Gentle parenting doesn’t mean zero consequences. You’re doing such a great job, but imo I would not be making physical violence so acceptable and id say something like “if you push baby then you won’t be allowed to play with him because we cannot hurt...

@addraornun I’m so so sorry you and your baby are having to go through this x 29 weeks is definitely a medically viable age but I have no experience with this. Maybe head over to r/nicuparents - I’ve heard amazing things about the community and I’m sure there’ll be other parents in similar...

@deborahjoy429 1 in every 3 pregnancies ends in a miscarriage. Just think about that statistic, 1/3 of all pregnancies. That’s the same for younger women. My first pregnancy at 34 ended in a missed miscarriage and I’m writing this whilst breastfeeding my second born at 37. I conceived our now...

@lightnow23 Yep - I’m in a lot of parenting subs and FF is usually formula fed.

@nickel Due with number 2 in Feb and our girl will be 2.5yo - thank you for posting this! We’re 100% 2 and through and we’re already planning the throw out stages as this little girl outgrows the clothes and toys and gear! We’re also not baby people, and I REALLY am not looking forward to all...

@jmp 100% this! If they try and make it about them vs us you just keep saying the following until everyone is bored of you saying it: “X, this is about the health of BABY and that’s it. If you’re vaccinated you can visit - it’s that simple.”

@triceratops I think you really need to stop monitoring this - it does NOT need to double, and the actual number doesn’t matter. It just needs to increase. I had 3 pregnancies, 2 healthy babies. HCG for my 2 successful pregnancies was ‘low’ and one didn’t double. My doc didn’t even want to...
