@robert777 I had some pretty bad PPA until I was talking on to a friend about how I was worried because my baby hated tummy time. She told me she never did tummy time and when I looked properly scandalized, she asked me the last time I met an adult with a floppy neck whose head wasn't straight...

@antnf8900 Mine does this too. He hates formula. When I eat or drink he just started with his eyes wide, mouth wide open. Sometimes he licks his lips. All his independent play involves him putting various toys in his mouth, taking it out, staring at it, then angrily putting it back in before...

@nader1 Anecdotally, my son was mainly formula fed and was a terrible sleeper. He had horrible reflux, so that didn't help. From the time he was 4 months, to 13 months, he woke 6-7 times a night, every single night. I thought I was gonna lose my mind.

@misslou At that age my little guy loved walks, both being held, and in the stroller. He also loved his activity mat with dangly toys. You can also give her "floor time" with several toys nearby. My son really liked this too. I think it helps them get to know their own body. You can also...

@kars Hey, big hugs. I don't have any specific advice, but I wanted to let you know if you didn't already about something called a supplemental nursing system (SNS). It attached to your breast via a little tube and you can control how fast it delivers formula or pumped breast milk, but your baby...

@jmkemp This is the right approach. 7yo is old enough to handle that when properly instructed. It builds kids confidence to do appropriate tasks independently. Before the child abduction scare in the 90's (where child abduction rates never changed, they just started getting more media attention)...

@pmxcsed What?!?! Homework in kindergarten besides reading is ridiculous. There are studies on it. I'm guessing that his school is a more structured and demanding than he's used to. Volunteering in the classroom is a great way to get more info on this though. Playing school is a really great...

@pmxcsed Could he be having trouble transitioning from a half day to a whole day? When kids are under a lot of pressure in one area, they often regress in another area. I have a 13yo and a 2yo and both of them start displaying behaviors they stopped at an earlier age when they're stressed or...

@rengb121 If you really want to do this, don't do it in bed. Start a tradition where you have campouts in the living room or something. Grill, start a fire, keep the lights off, or at least make a "no screens" rule, go for a walk, make s'mores, get a nice air mattress that everyone sleeps on...

@thestarside My son went through this phase when he hit 13 months. He haaaated the straps. We're talking screaming, crying, and thrashing around. It's really rough. Do you know where their reaction is coming from? For my son, we eventually figured out that a lot of it was from him feeling out...
