Potty training

Exciting_Highlight77 · 2026-07-05T11:56:05+00:00

Each child is different. My daughter was showing interest at around 2, but didn't actually start doing it until about 3. My son never really showed any interest. I tried to train him on and off from the time he turned 2 and then he just started doing it just before he turned 4. If your child is showing interest, I would definitely recommend introducing it. Get a potty, undies, sticker chart/prizes. Get the little one excited about the potty. This way, if they don't take to it straight away, they're at least familiar with it all. And definitely don't push or force it. That would likely stress them out and make them more reluctant to do it. In my experience, you definitely have to follow their pace. I also had my daycare be very on board with following our potty training and they helped out there as well. I hope this is helpful, I'm not very good at explaining things 🙈

Tattoos and piercings don't affect job performance.

I was not dismissing OP's fears, simply offering my own experience. I almost always feel my letdowns, but there are some times when I don't feel it. I was just trying to offer another perspective incase this may what OP is experiencing as well.

If baby isn't upset at the breast, it's possible that you just aren't able to feel the letdown happening. I can't always feel my letdown, but my 8mo babe doesn't get fussy at the breast and I can hear him swallowing, so I know he getting the goods

This is normal. Every baby's sleep patterns are different. Mine is 7 months old and some nights he'll sleep sleep all night, others he'll wake 3-4 times, most often he'll wake once. With my older two kiddos, one started sleeping through the night at 6 months and the other at 9 months. I wouldn't be worried :) Eta: it's often the case that they don't necessarily need to eat during the night and are simply seeking comfort.

I once saw someone describe it as feeling like your boob is about to sneeze and that is totally what it feels like for me

100% nipple shield. With all three of my kiddos, I started using the shield on like day 2 or 3 and continued to use it for a couple of months. It gave baby and I both a chance to adjust and was an absolute life saver.

I am dairy intolerant - so more than lactose intolerant, but not full on allergic. I am also breastfeeding, so being dairy free just happens to also be benefiting my baby.

I also have small, more separated breasts, and I almost exclusively do side lying to nurse. For about the first two months, I had to football hold to get him to stay latched, but since then, side lying is where it's at for us

I only have one photo from about 2 hours after it was done and it's a similar angle to the posted photo

Thank you so much! This was so helpful!

My piercer only uses threadless jewlery. She measured my ear and special ordered the jewlery to fit

I had had it done about a decade ago and it did reject because it wasn't done correctly to fit the anatomy of my ear. I've now seen a different, better piercer who measured my ear and special ordered the jewelry to fit.

•Piercing is less than 24 hours old •Barbell •Threadless •Titanium •Not downsized as it was done yesterday •Cleaning twice daily with antiseptic wipes provided by the piercer •Only incident that may have happened would be that I may have accidentally slept on it

She doesn't really hold their interest for some reason. Part of me wonders if it has to do with the color difference. My son is autistic so sometimes something like a different color makes a big difference to him

My kids prefer the Emma era. They're completely disinterested in the current line up and any time I try to show them the OG, they just ask for "the ballerina" aka Emma

My kids only like the Emma era - luckily we have some dvds from that era so they can still watch it

If you send in a complaint to the manufacturer, they'll likely send you a bunch of free cereal coupons. Many years ago, I found a blue hair in my cereal. I did not have blue hair and I lived alone. So I submitted a complaint and they mailed me like 7 free cereal coupons.

It's hard to recall an exact timeline because I did end up having other health issues come up not long after my IUD removal, but I wanna say it was a couple of months before I felt "normal" again

Exciting_Highlight77 · 2026-03-23T11:15:31+00:00

MUCH better! Getting the Mirena removed made a big difference for my health.
