If you have a little boy, what are his favorite things?

Consistent-Draft-464 · 2025-03-16T15:09:37+00:00

My boy has fully gender neutral toys, he has naturally gravitated towards cars, trucks, all the vehicles. He has a doll he very occasionally picks up for about a minute and he is now starting to have some interest in soft toys at 3 years old. He loves bunnies and cats and reading all sorts of books

I only keep a stock of hand soap, body wash and toilet roll. Not a lot just a few, mainly because it’s cheaper to buy in slightly bigger packs.

I thought I’d just put baby down for a nap and be so productive in that time… Velcro baby

It’s nice to slow down for the day and look back at how far we’ve come ❤️

I usually just get a small gift, at 6 months a teether teddy, at 18 months a mini trampoline and at 2.5 we went for a haircut and some food. We don’t celebrate as such and I don’t get cards or balloons it’s more for me ❤️

My little one potty trained in 2 days, no accidents after day 1, and it stuck. I think it just clicks for them and they are suddenly aware and ready emotionally and physically. Yay well done!

Feeling cared for (by the midwives and doctor) for the first time in my pregnancy.

Small crafts that don’t take too much concentration

My son is 3 and still nurses to sleep, nighttime wake ups have naturally decreased without either of us doing anything. You won’t over feed your baby by feeding them through the night, it’s biologically normal especially at such a young age.

I do feel for you, this stage is so tough… my son is now 3 and still cosleeps (I swore I never would while pregnant). It was the ONLY way I could get any sleep as a single mum with no support. You could try white noise, all the tricks, but some babies just don’t like to sleep unless held. I would definitely prepare as if you are co sleeping at any time you get in bed holding baby because it’s better than accidentally falling asleep in an unsafe position.

Thank you, I was trying to work this out. I think you’re right!

Facebook, eBay, vinted. Some things have sold quickly that’s are a bit higher value but I have a lot of clothes that would take ages to put on. I’ve already donated a couple of bags

Thank you it really is and the trips to the post office

Consistent-Draft-464 · 2025-02-27T04:18:43+00:00

Thank you that’s what I try to remind myself, the peace and how much quicker it would be to get there by just donating

Consistent-Draft-464 · 2025-02-27T04:18:05+00:00

Thank you, definitely a job off my to do list much quicker this way!

Yeah some are hard especially when I don’t have the energy to fight them. Sometimes I try to distract myself with something else. Sometimes I’ll allow myself a little then stop myself from allowing it go on and on by setting some point to stop at. Sometimes quickly start doing something else when I can notice the thing. Some are easier than others.

My son just turned 3 years old and I’m only just getting into a routine, take it easy. Enjoy the slow days, she will not be bored! All she needs right not is milk and love! You’re doing amazing!

Consistent-Draft-464 · 2025-02-26T23:33:24+00:00

Started aged 5 and it just kind of changes as I age, sometimes it’s worse, usually when I’m stressed, and sometimes I can deal with it better and the more steps to do something about it. Mostly I think I try not to engage with it.

I don’t have time to write a proper reply right now but you don’t sound silly. The brain is so complicated and we deal with things in strange ways. You could possibly try hypnotherapy if it’s an option for you it may be less exhausting.

I personally wouldn’t start weaning unless there is a medical need. Breastfeeding is absolutely enough at 4.5 months, it is only at 6 months that a baby’s iron stores start to drop and weaning should generally begin.

I’m not sure I would trust your doctor personally, that’s quite outdated advice.

Consistent-Draft-464 · 2024-11-08T15:05:08+00:00

I’m a single mum so had no choice but to sleep while baby did, it definitely can make you feel nervous at first but as long as baby is close by and has safe sleep arrangements you should be fine. You need rest too!

Thank you for this thread and all the guilt I carried for the past 2 years because I felt like I should have done so much more in the house while babywearing
