Their kiddo largely isn’t, but becomes more affectionate when we’re around (e.g., gives a hug if asked if they want to; spontaneously offers hugs/kisses to parents -...

    My toddler is sick and now I’m scared my 7 week old will get it :(

    My 2.5 year old woke up from her nap a few hours ago and said she felt so cold. I felt her and she was very warm. She had a fever of 103 (it’s down now after some Tylenol) and she’s in better spirits now that it’s kicked in, but was saying her tummy hurt for a while and I thought she was going...

    Hi! Do any of you follow a strict meal schedule? My LO is 16 months old and she usually wakes up by 8/8.30AM and her eating schedule varies each day depending on how much she eats during a meal, how much milk she’s had and her nap time. She is in a major food rejection phase and I’m wondering if...
