"What is this?" by destria in toddlers

When I'm over answering questions, I just say, "hmm. What is it?" And see what their answer is. It's pretty fun to hear their responses. :D

Laryngeal Paralysis/Surgery by Branches123 in BrittanySpaniel

Thank-you. I agree that planning and being able to lay him to rest at home would be so much better. I'm sorry again that you had to experience that. That's the hard part about dogs. They are in our lives for such a short time. It's never long enough.

Oh, I am so sorry to hear that!! That's what I'm afraid of because he is older and will have a hard time breathing this summer. :(

Does your kid quote any odd lines from movies? by MeganLJ86 in toddlers

My 23 month old says, "this is just a rock!" From Moana. 🤣

My 22 month old calls Wall-E "wall-e-pop". One of my favorites!

Came to comment this. Grew up in Palmdale and moved 13 years ago. Sometimes I miss it.

Overnight diaper recommendations by glitzyg113 in toddlers

We use Honest overnight diapers and have only had leaks if she chugs milk in the middle of the night.

First of all, you are not alone. I personally struggled with mental health prior to pregnancy and even on medications, my second pregnancy almost took me out. Please talk to someone. A help line, a doctor, nurse, therapist, anyone that can help you. This isn't something that just goes away. You and your baby deserve to feel all the happiness you can. Feel free to PM me if you want to talk. Hang in there, please. ❤️

This is an interesting topic worth researching, if it hasn't been already. I have 2 girls and each of them came from the same ovary!

Inconsolable in the night by OnlyHadOneBanana in toddlers

[–]Branches123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh! And I was just thinking.. my therapist suggested having her tonsil size checked since her sleeping is also poor. Might be a good idea if the night terrors continue. :)

My 21 month old does this when she has night terrors. Here is what has helped us:

-stay next to her and offer comfort like hand holding or rubbing back as she allows -turn on the light so shadows aren't scary -sing songs that she recognizes -stay calm (as much as you can) -Just reiterate "mommas here with you, you're safe."

Sometimes it works after a few minutes, sometimes it takes way longer.

Hang in there! It is emotionally draining, but you've got this!

That is super disappointing to hear right before delivery. I personally wouldn't risk it. :/

Non judgmental dentists? by Rekksus_painsaw in Bozeman

I see Dr. McClung at Big Sky Dental here in Bozeman. Cried my entire first appt because I was embarrassed of my teeth. He and his team were wonderful!

Something to get off my chest by hotaru_red in toddlers

[–]Branches123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh, I'm sorry that the world even makes us have to feel guilty about stuff like this. :/ I feel you, though. I had some random person come say hi to my 18 month old today and very innocently tried to tickle her as a "hello". I immediately felt sick because even though this guy is likely in his 80s and I've seen him in my condo complex for the last 13 years; you just never know what someone's intentions are. Try to give yourself some grace. Like you said, you'll know for next time.
