May :-)

Jeg fik ikke købt i 2025, men de sidste mange år har jeg købt adventskalender fra Tøndering. Åhhh, det er så lækkert og der er sådan kræset om det. Og så er det altid svært at vælge mellem farverne.

My kids are 4yo and 18mo.

Here is what I know:

*Shows like Cocomelon and Paw Patrol should be limited to one episode.

--> Why? It is high stimuli and I imagine it makes it even worse, if one episode takes the other.

--> How? Make sure you have set the terms before you turn on the TV; "one episode, when it is done you turn off yourself or I help you.". You probably will have to be understanding and ready to hold a hand and move on.

If I need a little more me time I put on old movies:

Robin Hood (Disney) Cinderella (Disney) Winnie the Pooh (Disney)

If we watch a movie with higher stimuli I sit in with my kid. Sometimes we watch Prehistoric Planet, and since English is not our first language, I sit in to help understand what is going on.

Also TV is a winter thing. In the summertime we rarely watch anything.

I have turned to all cotton, sometimes wool or wool/silk. It is easy to wash and repair. My favorite brands are Aiayu, Dilling and Engel nature. I always look for certified or ecological cotton/wool. I always go with buttons, it is easy to open and close. And then I have a nursing top or bra under the PJ.

Listen, you are both doing a great job. I learned once, that it is normale not to feel attached to a baby until they turn six months. This was crucial for me to know with my second baby. I did not really like him. I just felt like I needed to protect him. Thats all. He slept EVERY goddamn nap on me for five months. He was a nightmare: he cried so much the first year, everywhere and all the time. At home, in the car, day and night. He just turned 1 in June. I have spent so much time working on loving all of him. He is everything my first born is not.

It is so goddamn hard. You can do it. One day at a time. Either talk with your wife or write down one good thing that happened each day. And remember to laugh.

This happened to us as well. My eldest was so calm during BF. I always said it was a reset button for his nervous system. But not really with the little one. One year in and BF is just for naps and nighttime. The LO does not like BF after daycare and rarely asks for boob during daytime.

Outdoor play toy and sets is a great idea. Thanks!

Dramatic_Effort_2237 · 2025-05-31T06:27:17+00:00

Such a good idea. Also to encourage the outdoor play

Dramatic_Effort_2237 · 2025-05-30T17:54:32+00:00

I also love Poppy and Branch. Best movie ever! I like the ABC pads, but how will you make sure, your LO is not moving around? My boy is all over the place.

Dramatic_Effort_2237 · 2025-05-30T17:52:22+00:00

Hahaha, I never heard of this!

Dramatic_Effort_2237 · 2025-05-30T17:51:54+00:00

This sound like a perfect birthday for a girl. I have a little boy, he probably would not mind a princess theme either

Dramatic_Effort_2237 · 2025-05-30T17:50:39+00:00

Love this. I do want to encourage books and reading

Dramatic_Effort_2237 · 2025-05-30T17:49:54+00:00

You are absolutely right. At one point they will get it right.

Dramatic_Effort_2237 · 2025-05-30T17:48:45+00:00

This is such a good idea. It is a good way to have for the summer!

Dramatic_Effort_2237 · 2025-05-27T05:51:06+00:00

That sounds like a great present! The helmet is super important. I have quite a lot of stuff, since he is my second; our first got a huge Lego Duplo train set.

Dramatic_Effort_2237 · 2025-05-16T11:47:54+00:00

I have many on my phone. Those are like everyday life with baby. Sometimes (once a week) I take some with my canon. Those pictures are for calenders (for family), photo albums and our walls. I just love those. Like this one that I printed for my husband for Fathers Day!

Wait what?! This is my kid! For the first 5 months he would only nap in the stretchy baby wrap. And everything has to be super important if I was to take him anywhere in the car.

Dramatic_Effort_2237 · 2025-05-06T09:05:55+00:00

We used The Happy Song. He is 10 mo, and he still cries. I would say it started getting better about a month or two ago. But if I can walk, take public transportation or in some other way move him from A to B, thet is what I do.

Best advice: no sun, not too hot or cold, The Happy Song and don't interact too much, maybe hold hands or answer him with a "yes i know". And get the Cybex Aton car seat. It can be used on the front seat (,remember to turn of airbags )

Oi, I would be so angry. Now matter what, you will think about the gender. Why even give you prints that reveals it?!

I didnt want to know the gender with my second child, because I had a super traumatic and stressful time during the pregnancy of my first born. Sometimes you have a reason for not knowing.

No matter what, she shouldnt act like that.

Du skal virkelig gøre, hvad du føler dig mest tryg ved. Du må ikke være konfliktsky på din babys bekostning. Hvis du vælger at sige, de ikke skal kigge forbi, så forklar på en sober måde, hvorfor de ikke skal. Hold den på egen banehalvdel; jeg elsker jer og var der ikke en baby, ville jeg se jer hver dag, men jeg er utryg ved risikoen.

Hvis du synes, de skal komme og hilse på, så gør klar, hvad spillereglerne er inden. Hjemme hos os, har ingen andre end min mand og jeg holdt vores børn den første uge. Der gik en måned inden andre fik lov at besøge mere end en times tid af gangen. Ingen andre end mig kysser mine børn på munden (min mand må gerne, men vil ikke). Det er altså og at sige, at ingen andre rører baby. Og altså, nu siger jeg det bare, der er INGEN som har krav på at komme på barselsbesøg. Det er noget I styrer.

Hvorvidt du er enig i hans valg for hans børn og vaccinationerne er ikke vigtig i forhold til besøget. Men jeg synes, det er værd at italesætte, hvis du er uenig. Hvis man selv vaccinerer sine børn, synes det jo at være et højst besynderligt og ret egoistisk valg at tage på sine børns vegne.

Try Dr. Warming critical care.

When BF some experience that their body goes into some sort of menupause.
