    My toddler doesn’t sleep well - he fell asleep tonight at 11pm and I feel so bad :(

    My toddler doesn’t sleep well - he fell asleep tonight at 11pm and I feel so bad :(

    @paker Another vote to start saying no. Frequently. Kindly, but frequently. No more iPad. No more snack. No (or very few) sugary foods throughout the day. Unlimited access to fruit and veggies and water or whatever. IMO meltdown 1 = bedtime. He’s exhausted his emotional capacity for the day...

And it can take weeks of elimination dieting for the lactose to exit your system, so it’s not an...

    Middle v side seat for carseat

    @rabih Sounds like side seats are the best option. While the middle seat is the safest if all seats have the best systems, that doesn't apply to your situation. A securely fitted car seat where you can easily secure baby is absolutely best practice.
