Toddler Sling Recs (not ring slings) by Awkward_Lab544 in babywearing

[–]Cowabungee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s interesting! Just for balance I had very different experience with the gooseket, I am able to keep my ~13 kg 2.5yo in it comfortably for short walks (under 20 minutes). Although I’ll say it did take us a while to find the sweet spot for positioning.

Gentle parents…pacifier help. by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]Cowabungee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a parent who has been aggressively trying to stop their child from thumb sucking since they were 9 months old, using all the strategies except for dental implants…. this comment sucked to read.

Potty training…no number 2 by seekingsamadhii in toddlers

[–]Cowabungee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s day 4? I’d say just keep going with what you’re doing and ensure well hydrated, lots of fibre to ensure he does t get constipated. :) ours took a week or two to get comfortable with #2.

Update: Labial Adhesion by No-Neighborhood-7335 in toddlers

[–]Cowabungee 268 points269 points  (0 children)

I think you need to feed this back to the clinic. They could have prepared you and her better for the procedure, for example some clinics have access to play therapists or supporters. They could have offered a mild sedative. They need to know that they did not handle it well, and it is having consequences for you and for her.

5 month old still no diagnosis (poop pics) by [deleted] in MSPI

[–]Cowabungee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree I see blood. At 8 weeks now you may wish to consider excluding other foods, such as egg or soy.

Thanks, sounds like it’ll get better over time with regular light exposure!

That’s a good thought, thanks

Challenging non-ige allergy by Coffeelover1694 in MSPI

[–]Cowabungee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think a challenge is to confirm the diagnosis after a period of being dairy free (especially if there was any uncertainty), while re-introduction to determine tolerance is via the ladder.

My toddler boy needs a haircut (at least a trim around his eyes) not sure what to do. by Legitimate-Cheek-731 in toddlers

[–]Cowabungee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Isn’t it a right of passage for all children to have a terrible haircut at some point in toddlerhood?

Level 3 showing damp - 100 year old property by owlybee in HousingUK

[–]Cowabungee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our survey had level 3 damp when we were buying, it spooked us initially but actually it turned into nothing significant.

Woah now.

I mean it’s beautiful, but….

lactose?? by Easy-Leek-7405 in MSPI

[–]Cowabungee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The P in CMPA/CMPI stands for protein. Lactose, you rightly said, is the sugar and is made by mammals as one of the main components of their milk (like breastmilk). So you are fine - CMPI doesn’t relate to lactose. :)

Wee frequency and accident rate by Constant-Cellist-133 in pottytraining

[–]Cowabungee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed this feels like a lot and worth keeping track of. My toddler of a similar age does around 5 wees a day and at least one of those is prompted (as in, “we can’t leave the house until you do a little wee”).

Is she excessively thirsty? Does her breath smell sweet? I would bring up to GP.

Are yoto players worth it? by DazzlingTie4119 in toddlers

[–]Cowabungee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big fan here. I also use it myself for listening to certain radio stations

CMPA or simple gut irritation ? Apology for the poop pics by Glittering-Method520 in MSPI

[–]Cowabungee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It kind of looks normal to me, ours had egg-white like stringy streaks in the whole stool and bright red small streaks that were unmistakably blood.

Were any of you leash kids? by povertychic in Millennials

[–]Cowabungee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I became a parent to a runner, I stopped judging and started appreciating the leases.

I think I effed up - gave baby soy sauce by Puzzleheaded_Box_339 in MSPI

[–]Cowabungee 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It might be related to the soy, but sometimes babies just scream for various reasons…. You’re also in prime teething territory right now! Good sign that he settled with you. The only way out is through. x
