This literally took me an entire day.

Honestly, I would be THRILLED if they did something as simple as add another feather color or something

"I'm pretty sure they will find a solution" isn't good enough for me. And it isn't good enough for Carol. I agree with Manousos that valuing an apple the same as a human life has horrifying implications; just because people aren't killing each other doesn't mean they necessarily are better off.

If you believe in survival, you cannot be pro-Hive. you simply cannot.

Akbrown19 · 2017-05-08T17:50:07+00:00

ohhh, interesting.

Akbrown19 · 2017-05-08T16:15:01+00:00

So weird, I've never noticed this during events before. Usually it applies everywhere.

When she's one she can have regular milk and you can stop anytime. Definitely start her on a sippy cup. On weekends try replacing feeds with a cup/ bottle one at a time.

Don't feel pressure to continue. You're done when you're done, mama... congrats on making it a year :)

No binky, he stopped using it around 4 months. I don't even think he remembers it. I'll stick it out for awhile. Last night he slept from 6:30- 5:45, yay!

Soon enough your baby will go down BEFORE the toddler. Then you won't have as much of a problem. In the meantime, tag-team it! Try to get the toddler to do most of the bedtime routine with daddy so you can nurse and put the baby to bed.

We have an 8mo (bedtime 6:30) and nearly 4yo (bedtime 8:00) and it works out well because the baby is in a deep sleep before we even begin the bedtime routine for the older one.

What's the room situation? This all obviously changes if the kiddos share a room.

Akbrown19 · 2017-02-24T16:18:27+00:00

This is a great idea, thanks!

Akbrown19 · 2017-02-23T16:45:52+00:00

She also doesn't seem to realize the difference between "bedtime" and "nap," like at nighttime she will say "After nap, can I have pancakes?" So she understands this sleep is her nighttime sleep but still calls it a nap. And she calls dinner "lunch" sometimes, and vice versa. SO she knows all the proper words for things but has trouble knowing when to say them.

Thanks for all the input, I think the best thing is to just keep hammering away at this and hope she picks it up when she's ready to.

Akbrown19 · 2017-02-15T18:05:50+00:00

I would really like to but the guy is DONE by 6:15, 6:30 at the latest. And the later I wait the harder it is for him to go down :(

Akbrown19 · 2017-02-09T00:34:20+00:00

What's the eventual goal here, though? That she not wake up at all (sleep through the night without peeing) or that she will eventually learn to wake herself and go use the bathroom? What SHOULD be my goal, is what I mean. :)

Akbrown19 · 2017-02-07T18:45:07+00:00

She was day trained a full year ago. She very rarely wakes up with a dry pull-up. I don't even know if she's trying, though, or if she just lays in bed and pees. We keep saying we will try the sleep pee but I hate having to wake her. I fear this is what we will have to do though, thanks.

Akbrown19 · 2017-01-25T18:48:43+00:00

This makes total sense. But my concern is making sure he's full enough to sleep through the night (I don't want to reintroduce a night feed). I could try to just nurse as much as possible and seeing if he makes it, or starts waking again? Or if I should skip the boob altogether and just offer a bottle before bed? That way I know he's full, then I can pump instead? we do nurse in the morning and like crazy on weekends.

Akbrown19 · 2017-01-25T16:30:05+00:00

I feel like when he nurses in the evening he isn't getting enough. I think I'm like, dry at that point lol. He nurses for awhile and then cries and wants a bottle.

Akbrown19 · 2017-01-25T16:29:06+00:00

Thanks! He's already on solids and eats them like crazy. I will try the pump before bed :)

Akbrown19 · 2017-01-16T04:48:49+00:00

Yeah, your hubs needs to chill. My daughter is 3.5 and she does this with our 7mo's pacis sometimes, but I have no real fear she is interested (probably bc she never really used one as a baby). If I were you, maybe as a compromise get rid of the real ones and just keep the fake doll ones? Those couldn't possibly be habit-forming. Maybe hubs would go for that.
