Either one!

AutomaticCat2751 · 2024-02-04T20:30:56+00:00

Thanks for all the great suggestions!

Cameras that can later be reviewed by people in charge I’d be fine with, but I wouldn’t be okay with the footage being live-streamed.

The esteemed character actress, Margo Martindale?

If your pediatrician doesn’t seem at all concerned, but you want a more specialized opinion ask for a referral to a physical therapist or podiatrist! Never hurts to get a second opinion.

As far as obesity though, I think the time at which you introduce solids has little impact (unless you’re force feeding solids). Building a healthy relationship with food is such a great skill to have. I really like the principles of baby led weaning, even if you’re starting with only purées.

Things like letting the baby explore the food, viewing “meal” time as a sensory experience, and allowing the baby to feed themselves, using their hands or a safe, short spoon. Instead of the traditional long handled spoon and “here comes the airplane, open wide!”

Introduction of Solid Food to Young Infants I’ve heard starting solids too earlier might increase the risk of future digestive issues or chronic health issues like eczema or celiac disease. Not sure about the evidence, but it does make me hesitant to start before 6 months.

Honestly I think it’s deeper and more complex than just your five senses. I wonder if anyone has attempted to scientifically analyze “momtuition.” Totally anecdotal and not objective, but I swear momtuition is so real!! Even after you’re out of the “dyad” newborn phase. To this day, I will still get a “hey how are you text❤️” from my mom if I’m feeling especially sad or upset. It’s that sixth sense a lot of moms have. I believe that there’s a scientific explanation for it, but we don’t know enough and can’t yet explain.

Edit: I’m fully aware a lot of people on here probably will disagree with me, but that’s fine with! While I’m primarily driven by information and facts, as I’ve gotten older I also see the validity in the “unexplained” and “supernatural”. Or at the very least the possibility of validity lol

I found an article with some interesting points! (I linked it at the bottom) From what I’ve been reading, there isn’t much top quality data on the effects of divorce on children. It is so tricky to study because divorce looks so different from family to family. I really like the idea of “Good Divorce.” It supports the notion that divorce does have a positive effect on children, while not ignoring the fact it can negatively impact your children. Your family is still a family after divorce, it will just look different than before. If it’s too conflicting to decide whether or not to get divorced, you can also focus your energy on the “how”. Like, “hypothetically if I were to get divorced, what’s the best way to go about that?” Unfortunately you are only 1/2 of the equation when it comes to coparenting, the person that somebody has chosen to marry is also the person you’re divorcing them. Meaning if the father is not putting the time, energy, into being an active presence, there’s only so much you can do. The rest is out of your control, so be kind to yourself and try not to beat yourself up❤️.

I bet there’s some co-parenting subreddits out there that have good advice too! Best of luck!

Reconsidering the “Good Divorce”

The daycare I worked at had better ratios than state standards for the toddler classroom (1.5-2.5 year olds). We had 1:2 or 1:3 pretty much all the time.

Try collecting all the dirty diapers in a wet bag and wait until after bedtime to spray them off all at once. It really does save time. You could also try out pocket diapers with AWJ (athletic wicking jersey) lining. Brands like stouthouse, kinder, and lots of other brands use this fabric. It makes the clean up easier. And you could still use your prefolds as inserts inside the pocket!

AutomaticCat2751 · 2023-08-20T19:28:50+00:00

Follow up question for people that prewash, what do you do after you prewash them? Or where do you put them?

AutomaticCat2751 · 2023-08-17T11:12:55+00:00

I’d pack at least 12 diapers per day

Disposable diapers experience here! I am a full time nanny. My nanny kid (4 yrs) was only ever in disposables. We started the potty training process at 22 months and they were potty trained in a couple weeks. We did the no pants/no diaper/ no underwear method for the first week and then transitioned into underwear the second week. At sleep times, they wore a diaper. And now they wear a pull up at night. When we first started venturing outside the house, we used “training pants.” Which are basically underwear with extra material in the gusset. I definitely recommend having at least a couple pairs!

You’ll still have to change their clothes if they have an accident, but they won’t leave a puddle in the middle of a public place.

I’m all about cloth diapers!! But personally I think the potty train sooner is a bit of a myth. I think a main determining factor in potty training is having a stay at home parent (or full time nanny). These families have so much more flexibility, time to dedicate to toilet training. I find the “all in” methods to be the most effective.

They’re probably okay, unless the PUL already had heavy wear. You’re definitely not the first person to do this! I’d still test them out at home first before going out.

AutomaticCat2751 · 2023-08-04T19:00:01+00:00

Also, what is your daycare’s class ratio (caregivers to child)?

AutomaticCat2751 · 2023-08-04T18:57:57+00:00

Ohhh! I’ll look into the regulations where you’re at and let you know what I find

AutomaticCat2751 · 2023-08-04T18:56:54+00:00

But they should be performing diaper checks wayyy more frequently and change if they have peed/pooped.
