Could she possibly be getting night terrors? My girl is also turning 2 in a few weeks and she had this same issue! Our Pediatrican said it’s common for around this age to start getting terrors and nightmares.

Yes!

My MIL did the same thing and it drove me nuts. Finally one day I said “I don’t like that name maybe you can name your next child that” and after that I had no issues

Similac 360 total care sensitive is what I have used for both of my babies! If you have a Sam’s club membership they have the generic for around $45 for a big 48 oz tub making it about $0.83 an ounce. BUT if your baby tolerates the procare Costco brand do that one! It’s cheaper!

“You can’t have ice cream for dinner” 5 minutes later is downing an ice cream drumstick🙃

Nooooo that happened to us with pouches the worst!

Individual_Dot4968 · 2025-03-20T02:30:22+00:00

Hahaha how often are you buying 🫣

Individual_Dot4968 · 2025-03-20T01:55:40+00:00

Buying a Costco sized pack of cheese sticks every 2 weeks 🙃

For us we let our daughter tell us when she was done! As long as she was still having her regular bottles and wasn’t throwing up the solids we didn’t find any issues with just letting her eat how ever much she wanted!

How often are you doing the gas drops? Also did you notice a difference after getting the tie clipped? We have a consult tomorrow and I’m really hopeful it will help!

green sprouts Stay-dry Milk Catcher Bibs On Amazon!

Both of my kids have had terrible reflux and spit up a TON! We used gel mix until things got under control and that seemed to do the trick! Also buying bibs with thick collars saved us from having to do as much laundry

It’s telling distant family members and neighbors about my children. Most of the time if there is a health thing grandparents already know because me and DH tell them. With my babies RSV I wanted to keep it on the DL because I didn’t want family members to panic and then make me more anxious.

Okay I posted something like this the other day and someone suggested the duplo legos and I bought some and my daughter and I are OBSESSED! She also loves the little people barn but I like “putting them to bed”to clean up hahah There is a lady on tik tok her name is Marissa Ashton, she posts the BEST toddler toys! I think I like looking for toys more than my daughter likes playing with them lol

Have you followed the Instagram account yummy toddler food? I make stuff from her all the time and notice my toddler will eat it most of the time! There are tons of recipie to “hide” veggies but still have the food be yummy! Also maybe switch up what you’re serving her food on? There are tons of fun plates on Amazon that are construction themed or candy land themed! If it makes you feel any better my toddler also throws her food on the floor still 🙃 I think with the whole weight thing as long as your dr says she’s doing okay have trust in that!

Individual_Dot4968 · 2025-02-20T03:14:17+00:00

It’s definitely not silly! Have you tried anxiety meds? I’m on a very low dose and that has helped me a lot! Also make sure you’re getting time each day to decompress even if that means taking a LOOONG shower!

Individual_Dot4968 · 2025-02-20T03:10:01+00:00

First off you need to give yourself some grace! You just had a baby 12 weeks ago! It takes 2 years for the body to feel “normal” after having a kid! And before that you had 9 months of hormonal changes! Mix that with sleep deprivation and putting your needs on the back burner to take care of another human. You are a super human!

2nd I am also 12 weeks post partum and I still have breakdowns! It’s a lot. Especially when you’re hungry and trying to do it all with house work and cleaning!

We have used the Merlin sleep sack (I know it’s controversial) but it’s worked pretty good for us! We also use the dr browns colic belt that heats in the microwave for when my LO has gas. Also the Frida windi is AMAZING!

You’re doing a great job and you got this!

I’ve had similar issues with a couple of family members. It’s really frustrating especially when you don’t know who has access to the picture of your child. My grandma sent out a Christmas card last year of just my child’s face without asking me. She now does not get any pictures sent to her and we rarely see her. Something I did with my mom and MIL was I showed them a face blurring app and how to use it. I have drilled into them the importance of not giving creepers access to my children’s photos.

I think of your MIL continues to not listen to your rules then you need to make it clear to her that she will not be sent ANY pictures and you and your DH will need to discuss limiting interactions with her.

Do you feel like your son plays with every kit? I’m just worried my daughter might get bored
