toddler

I just went to order more Dr. Brown Happy Paci's for my 14-month-old and only now realized that they are meant for 0-6months. From what I have read, the concern with older babies/ toddler is that the material is soft enough to bite through and become a choking hazard. I feel really dumb now...

Hey everyone, I’m fortunate enough that, when I take my daughter shopping, I will usually buy her a small toy (she doesn’t go with me often). Depends on the situation, but that’s the deal for the most part. We keep it around $5 and haven’t had issues. The last couple of times we’ve gone out...

When my oldest was born he was 6lbs 5oz born at 39 weeks and 6 days with an induction that ended up being an emergency c-section because he wasn’t ready to com out and the induction medicine wasn’t agreeing with him. He turned 2 on the 17th of December, I’ve always gotten from people “how small...

We’ve struggled with split nights basically for the past year, and most of the time reducing sleep offered has helped. I’m wondering if that’s really the right solution this time. My 26 month old wakes for about 1-4 hours every night. I have to sleep in his room when it happens, but I can...

She used to eat chicken nuggets and French fries. Now she only eats gogo yogurt pouches and popsicles. (I started hiding them and saying they’re all gone) Occasionally animal crackers and rice cakes. When I’m lucky I can get her to eat peanut butter and jelly. Nothing nutritious beyond the...

Seriously. What. The. Fuck. Where did my sweet curious little girl go? She’s still fantastic…. But there are moments I literally stare at her and think - what the actual fuck. I’m so tired haha…. Tell me it’s gets better

Hey Parents/Caregivers! I am an aunt to a feisty, handful 1 year old and hence am working on a something which helps in designing activities for Toddlers. Its a free tool which helps spun up fun/educational activities, all without the planning fatigue. Kindly share your thoughts on its...

I started introducing food when she was 6 months old. She would eat purées here and there but okay around with the solid food. I offer her different foods so that she gets used to textures. Sometimes she’ll put things in her mouth but she’ll usually spit it back out. Just recently I noticed...

Hi everyone, I will try to keep this as brief as possible. I’m desperate to hear any thoughts or advice, no matter how anecdotal. Long story short, our 29 month old son isn’t walking unassisted yet. He was a preemie, but was doing great until he didn’t crawl until 18M. At that point, his...

Hi a question for the parents in a multilingual home. Did your little ones take longer to form 2 word sentences? Mine is 18 months and saying about 23 words in 3 languages , but not really saying two word sentences. She says “uh oh” and “thank you” but I think she thinks it’s one word. I know it...

So are the terrible twos supposed to last for the whole year?? Send help 😩

3y/o goes to a Montessori program three mornings a week. Every single morning no matter how happy she wakes up or how much she eats or anything, the last 15 min of getting out the door are pure torture. Suddenly she hates all the clothes she’s wearing, she’s throwing her shoes, she’s ripping out...

Who else has a toddler who is suddenly the world's pickiest eater? And what do you suggest I should do? When we started BLW at 6 months he literally ate everything and anything and then as soon as he hit around 17 months it's like a light switch and suddenly he refuses e v e r y t h i n g. I...

I was handed a tea cup. Unknowingly, I incorrectly grabbed it from the bottom since the cafe owner was holding the handle. This was apparently strike 1. I then loudly slurped the “Elsa Tea” trying to demonstrate my enjoyment to the cafe owner. Strike 2. Thinking gulping the rest of the tea...

Hello there 👋 I am a SAHM to a beautiful baby boy. As a SAHM, I am fortunate enough to be able to spend most of the time with my son, and we have become quite close. However, recently I have noticed that, when we have family over or when I take him out for a play, he no longer interacts with...

My son is 4 in a week and he is driving me insane. His mom tends to coddle him and I’m more strict so when it’s my turn to do bath and bed (we alternate between son and daughter mom/dad each night), he intentionally causes a scene so mom has to get involved. By this point my patience is far from...

We started a “bad” (bad for us) habit of cosleeping with our 4 year old over the holidays. He was sick, then it was just easier bc he stayed up later over the holiday. It was fine for awhile but now I can’t sleep. He is constantly wanting to cuddle or lay on me, which seems sweet but not at 3am...

My newly 2 year old has always been a happy guy, listens well, early talker so he can communicate, never really had tantrums or they were easily dealt with and I was able to help his big feelings with the color monster book, asking him what color he felt and saying when he’s ready for a hug and...

My daughter has been a pain at bedtime lately. Keeps stalling bedtime with im hungrys, i need to poo, lay with me a little bit, one more books, one more songs and constantly calls me back in for a hug and a kiss. Bedtime is at 8pm, and I have tried to do it earlier to give her plenty of time...

My son was born premature at 31 weeks; the internet tells me that 39 weeks is considered full term and that I should adjust his "developmental age" until 24 months. After correcting his age for prematurity, I've concluded that he is exactly 18 months, 1 week and 3 days as of today. Based on...
