    What happens to poor sleepers who aren’t sleep trained?

    @ebveloz It will very much depend on the child but eventually kids stop needing their parents to sleep. My nephew who is just about 18 was never sleep trained and would occasionally sleep with his parents until 12. My daughter is 3.5 and still having issues but we think she s having allergies so...

    How/are you changing what your <5 y.o. does in light of Omicron and the Pfizer vaccine trial issues?

    @edwina958 So just so everyone is clear the vaccine for the 2 to 4 year olds could be available as early as April of 2022 and probably no later then June this is not that long a wait. They just need to re adjust the dosage and will start new trials in a few weeks. As to us my 30 month old she is...

    Thinking about being OAD because first born is so easy??

    @brhjz My daughter was an easy baby and now she is a very vocal nearly 5 year old with endless energy and she has two speeds full throttle and stop. I love my daughter to pieces but my husband and I are in our 40's and my daughter is exhausting oh and the older they get the more expensive they...

    How/are you changing what your <5 y.o. does in light of Omicron and the Pfizer vaccine trial issues?

    @pcross39 The the post you are referring to has a bad headline. If you click on the link the article says that this set back doesn't effect the plan to apply for emergency authorization in the second quarter of 2022 or somewhere between April and June of 2022. It also says they will be starting...

    Leaving toddler son w Grandma

    @everettorren If you are not comfortable leaving your son with your mil then you will be worried the whole time and pre occupied so there is no point in going. You are not in the wedding party and so have no obligation to be part of something like this. I would just decline to go not because of...

    Cosleeping vs bed sharing for 4 month old

    @xuanang01 So we started bedshring when my daughter was 3 months since I was loosing sleep and it was just easier. We followed safe sleep practicees and while I am very pro science I also understand that SIDS is complicated and most of the world bedshares. If you sleep on a relatively firm...

    My OBGYN laughed at me when I said I was OAD

    @lovepr For me it's not just the pain of birth but the 4 months of vomiting, the blood thinner injections starting at 4 weeks and lasting until I was 4 week postpartum and the PPA that has put my marriage at risk. Oh and as much as I love my almost 4 year old daughter she plus 4 cats are quite...

    Any articles on car seat time limit safety? Husband wants to take 6 m y/o on 25 hour trrip

    @cassandra77 I agree and would say this even if they don't put mask mandates because you can get a non stop flight. I would not want to take a long road trip with a baby.

    What to do when best is impossible (Emily Oster)

    @goldielocks No because since they are older there is no risk. We have stopped the lemonade at night though since she ended up with a few cavities. Bed sharing with a toddler or any child older is not an issue because they are large enough and developed enough to wake up on their own if...

    What to do when best is impossible (Emily Oster)

    @jesusreigns777 I think the best we can do is feed them as much good stuff as we can give them a multivitamin and model good eating habits. If we show them how to eat well and do our best once they are older hopefully they will eat better.

    What to do when best is impossible (Emily Oster)

    @follow_the_word Emily Oster is not my favorite but she definitely has a point here. My daughter who used to eat anything suddenly at close to 3.5 became a picky eater and mostly eats meatballs, bread, occasionally fruit and snacks. She also drinks a low calorie lemonade. We ended up bed sharing...

    Hi y’all, is anyone one and done due to health? I’m falling apart postpartum

    @laurencesantos I have Maythurners syndrome where the artery in my left leg presses down on the vein and makes me a high risk for DVT. I had a major one in my late twenties which is how I was diagnosed. I had to be on injections of a blood thinners throughout my pregnancy and it was not fun. I...

    No free time, no social life. No more. Wife disagrees

    @wisdomandlove You two need couples therapy asap. In the meantime tell your wife to give it until your son is in preschool.

    18 month old STILL won’t sleep and I’m at breaking point. Desperately seeking advice

    @pastor_rob No advice just sympathy from the mom of a preschooler who has only slept through the night once. Now we transferred my now almost 4 year old to her own twin bed several months ago but I end up sleeping with her when she wakes sometime between 12 and 3. She also likes to insist we go...

    My 2 year old niece is mean to my 8 month old baby

    @regret_living As another poster said she is two and they don't develop a true sense of empathy until about 5. She also has no impulse control so can't stop herself. It is good your sister is stopping her as it will protect your baby. We are dealing with my 3 year old and not pulling cat tails...
