Congrats to baby and momma!

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and what you do at home. And for investing the time to respond thoughtfully. I really appreciate it.

I will be sharing what you said with DH and we can...

Your words have the ring of truth about them. I need a step by step plan in place if I'm going to do this. She is going to freak if I'm not in bed with her, lots and lots of crying for a long time....

Just to clarify: I lay next to her while she falls asleep in her bed. Then I go to bed in my bed in my room. She comes into my room if she needs me in the night.

Thanks, everyone. I'm just getting on to read your responses now, so let me kind of respond to the questions in one post here if I can:

Yes, this does occur even when we co sleep. And its like...

I've posted about this before, but I am trying again. I really want to know if there is anything else I can do to help my child. If you have any insight please share it.

1. I have a 2.4 year old...

Aww! Hang in there momma!

So exciting! Hope this means good things for you! Testing is just around the corner, hang in there.

Sounds exciting! DD will be doing that in a few months and I'm excited to get some time to myself! Have fun momma!

Nope, I would not do a BJ name, first, middle, last or any combo. I think boys might be able to get away with a BJ nickname, but a girl I would be especially sensitive to. I would not want to open...

Hi! First of all, :hugs: Its so hard.

We are maybe a little ahead of where you are, still struggling at night as well but things are better than they were then. I'll share what we've done just in...

Just putting in my two cents here as a former teacher. I think the idea that all formal schooling is "Teacher-led" is a misconception. The push for much teacher professional development in recent...

:hugs: pumping is NOT easy momma. You have given your baby a wonderful start. I hope you heal up soon I never had cracked nips but I can't imagine how painful they must be. Kudos for hanging in there...

My DD has been going once a day since I don't remember when. Every now and then if she is stopped up for a day she will have a 2 or 3 poop day the next day, then skip again, then regulate the...

Too funny on that thread title momma! :D Good luck! :cheer:

Thanks all! It's been 2 weeks and she has asked to nurse every day, but when immediately distracted with food or an activity she forgets. There has been absolutely no fussing. I'm proud it has ended...

Thanks, ladies.

My mother-in-law gave me a couple good ideas this afternoon. Maybe to have him sit down with her and make a little calendar before he leaves and we can put stickers on the days he...

What do you do to keep your connections strong with your LOs?

My poor DD is just really starting to get to the point where she is very upset when daddy goes. He travels every week and is gone 2-5...

Wipe every time. Wouldn't want pee sitting on my skin.

Very interesting perspective, thanks!

Thanks for the perspectives from the kids point of view, Bridget and 3andme. That's kind of what I was asking about. I love the idea of vacationing over the week of Christmas rather than carting...

Indeed.

So DD is teething and super disturbed in sleep to the point of tantrums. We have been giving one dose of either motrin or tylenol just before bed the last 3 nights. We don't dose her at all during...

I love all this perspective, thank you ladies. It helps me so much. Especially with lots of family time coming up. Can I also ask how do you deal with other relatives telling your kid the gift is...

Hello and happy birthday!
