@edwina958 We're both mostly SAHP at the moment, both doing college mostly online. Hoping my partners next semester keeps the online up, mine is fully online. I was taking her to a playgroup but I stopped taking her a week or so ago as we got close to Christmas to reduce chances of getting...

@ebveloz Anecdotally I never sleep trained my now 3 year old. I typically nursed to sleep or held her and went away when she went to sleep. She only slept 4 hours at a time until 2 years old. Until 6 months she'd only contact napped or else nap was only 15minutes. Typically during sleep...

@fab01 Steam cleaner? I got one recently with a few smaller attachments

@obedientsacrifice Their comments are completely inappropriate to say especially in earshot of the baby, from as early as a year they can really understand the gist of so much despite being non verbal. I do try to boost my babies body positivity, she gets to run about naked for a bit everyday...

@damacri Could you please post full study, it's coming up university access only for me

@pinoytvshows Imagine thinking that a toddler occasionally snuggling with a caregiver is damage. Wow

@seditthis That is interesting. There are a few people self reporting in this thread that they are terrible adult sleepers and wish they were trained. Which is not what the science shows. Studies of 3 year olds found no difference in sleep duration or quality based on those who were sleep...

@vigilantrogue No news is good news, I don't see any need to write praising posts of my partner every week. So majority of what you see on some subs is negative for that reason

@nader1 I pumped exclusively for my 2nd and she slept through the night from 8 weeks, completely un sleep trained in any way. My 1st was breastfed until 2 and did not sleep until 2. It's extremely varied and down to babies temperment. Someone linked a German article a few months ago on...

@forgivenandloved There are definitely ways to extend how long they are comfortable sleeping alone without sleep training. I bedshare with my girl and when she is teething I am in so many times... But rest of the time I can get 2-3 hours with my partner at night (10months) What I would do is be...

@notloveisnotjesus too overbearing imo. If she has a phone let her roam a bit. Don't see the issue with her going to a friends house if the parents are home too. Don't see the issue with her some days being on her phone for 4 hours, or making that decision herself, its her summer too and she's...

@pheonic The best nicu nurses I had I felt they genuinely loved my baby too, they told me how beautiful she is, how strong she is etc. It really helped as I was brimming with love for my baby but seeing her all obscured with wires was hard, I was happy others saw her beauty, and I felt happier...

@kayjones87 How absolutely amazing that she felt comfortable enough to tell you that. Maybe you aren't the picture of love she has formed in her young head (fun no responsibilities), but you are definitely the love she needs and that conversation proves it (quiet confidence in your non...

@damacri ... this doesn't seem to say what you think it does? It actually largely backs up the article often posted here from science critical. The study you link notes that from the countries compared, Canada was the only one who had a significant number of children enrolled under 2 years old...

@kowalskil I meant even without the footnotes it's very heavy. Overall it's kinda got a ... "We're doomed but hey kids wash your hands!" Vibe, like tacking on the cheerful at the very end. But yeah I appreciated the info, plenty I didn't know myself since the news outlets argue back and forth on...

@hassahm The "quantum mechanics" part IS the gatcha games part. Also hacks to avoid power struggle dynamics is avoiding valuable teaching on boundaries/emotional regulation. It's perfectly OK and indeed extremely important that toddlers learn boundaries and know parents can be withholding...

@hassahm I like a lot of these but I'd be somewhat concerned that the dice thing is close to gambling. I haven't seen the dice thing studied or anything, but the use of some types of mobile games in young kids was found to spark gambling type highs and lows before

@waterflow Thank you! I can see how this would be easily adaptable. It acknowledges and addresses the changes going on in a child's life, which is really their main focal point. A lot of people think children's books are just cartoons & explaining things in a simple way, but that's just an adult...

@kowalskil Hi. First off, I personally love this, it's well drawn, and informative... But it's also scary, kids in hospitals, the words "deadly" etc. Ofc it's important that kids take it seriously and practise good hygiene but it makes me doubt it will help those in my moms group. They have 3...

@dhebi Agree, I like to model housework as something everyone does because it's collaborative, needs to get done, and is a care task for the while family, not a punishment or something that needs rewarding to do.
