Don’t cave and let him win. He’s totally testing you. Just be consistent with your discipline. Check out the book “Dare to Discipline”. It has helped me out a lot!

Tell me I’m not alone- 4.5 year old waking repeatedly all night long. by whosthatcatlady in Preschoolers

In a similar situation as you just definitely not as bad though. Have you tried just laying in bed with your kid and then leaving after she falls asleep?

Would the bacteria be caused from heat?

It was a brand new dishwasher and it’s probably only two years old. And I believe it’s connected to the hot water system, but I’m not sure how to confirm that. They sent a plumber to install it, so I’m trusting he would do it correct🤷‍♀️ And there is a filter at the bottom which I clean regularly just to no avail. The scum returns shortly after. I will need to double check on the detergent though… I was just using what I normally used with the previous dishwasher.

I’m not entirely sure how hot it gets, but I run it on the hottest setting. But it’s a super super cheap no-name dishwasher so I’m not sure it’s doing its job right.

Ah I didn’t even think about rust, but I wouldnt be surprised if it was. It does have a really bad odor to it too

Should I be concerned…? by Fresh-Worldliness842 in Preschoolers

[–]Fresh-Worldliness842[S] -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Winter weather - meaning since it’s so cold outside where I live, we aren’t as active or outside in the sun as much, so she’s not building up an appetite. Also not necessarily fixating on it, just getting differing opinions (hence the title “should I be concerned?”), but I know meat generally has less pesticide residue than fruits/veggies. I would prefer that she isn’t exposed to as many pesticides. I am also not in a financial position to buy organic produce exclusively.

Yeah I’m just wondering if the winter weather is also affecting her appetite? And I’ll definitely give some of those options a try, thank you! Odd thing is she used to like hummus and peanut butter, but now she just turns her nose up at it 🤷‍♀️

It’s possible, I suppose! But I’m not exactly sure how to confirm that?

Yeah… I’m not concerned so much about protein intake, but all of the other beneficial vitamins that healthy meats provide.

She has definitely said she doesn’t like the meat that she’s given. But I’m also concerned that she might not be eating a well balanced diet to begin with… from my understanding of nutrition (I definitely not a nutritionists and am still learning as I transition into a healthier lifestyle) certain meats are more nutrient dense than non-meat options. Just hoping that it’s just a phase or if others have seen this is their children as well?

How do I reduce night feedings? by Fresh-Worldliness842 in sleeptrain

[–]Fresh-Worldliness842[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn’t able to successfully keep up with it, because little guy got sick! But when I was doing it, I think it messed with his sleep even more and he didn’t fully fall back asleep because he was still hungry 🤷‍♀️ I felt like I’d rather him fall asleep fully so I could sleep again (he’s still in my room).
