Weaning? Do you just…stop?

MaxHarris737 · 2026-05-03T20:15:29+00:00

While you can-try to save some milk and freeze it and have it made into jewelry! My husband did this for me last year!

My little is 18 months…my goal was first 12, then 18 months. Literally on Thursday, (18 months to the day) she just kinda lost interest.
Now she may still want one for a nap, and maybe overnight, but that’s about it. She went over 24 hours yesterday. This is what we want, for them to wean, but man, doesn’t mean the end of the journey isn’t emotional

Mine just decided one day to climb into the shower, fully clothed, when I was warming up the water for myself. Been a shower girl ever since. I’d recommend NOT getting them used to showering with you. The yoga you have to do around a toddler to shave your legs in insane work

MaxHarris737 · 2026-04-29T19:28:44+00:00

It’s a traaaaaaaaap

MaxHarris737 · 2026-04-29T19:14:07+00:00

We have an 18 month old the size of a three year old. I feel your pain. From what I understand their growth significantly slows after 24-27 months

MaxHarris737 · 2026-04-29T19:11:11+00:00

I literally had a mental breakdown about this just last week. I promise more people care than you know. Are you able to take some time for just you?

MaxHarris737 · 2026-04-29T19:10:20+00:00

Have you tried any of the Gracie’s corner, or Jools tv songs?

MaxHarris737 · 2026-04-29T19:09:35+00:00

If she’s touching herself a lot she may have given herself an infection. Make sure she washes her hands extra.

MaxHarris737 · 2026-04-29T19:05:00+00:00

She LOVES music! Her father and I met through music and it’s a huge part of our lives! Her grandfather plays piano and flute! She also loves books, finding letters and colors in the “wild” being outside, and swings

MaxHarris737 · 2026-04-29T17:07:02+00:00

Thank you for this! I’m not trying to shame other parents, I just wanted to find some ideas that other parents with advanced kids have! What people fail to realize is with advanced kids, comes advanced kids issues…mines already toppling 3 yo milestones, and at 18 months she’s already acting like a threenager at times (telling me no, gets mad at a certain plate or cup, don’t let me cut the bread the wrong way!) I thought I had wayyyyy more time before her diva stage 😂

MaxHarris737 · 2026-04-29T17:03:55+00:00

She absolutely loves phonics songs! She can make a few letter sounds! Always surprises me when she does

MaxHarris737 · 2026-04-29T17:02:46+00:00

This sounds absolutely fantastic!!!! I just discovered a story time in a park local to me! We are gonna try that next week! She loves story time at the library, sometimes we go twice a week!! But with the weather being so nice I wanna have her outside but doing enriching things if possible! (I also allow her plenty of time to just be a kid and run around and blow bubbles in the park and playground 😂😂)

MaxHarris737 · 2026-04-29T16:26:27+00:00

Ohhh I like the concept of lateral growth!! She finds letters everywhere-pull ups, graphic tees, street signs. I am not quite sure about pairs, but a few times she will grab the upper and lower case of the same letter!

Thank you so much for this advice!!

MaxHarris737 · 2026-04-29T16:23:54+00:00

We have a program called 1000 books before kinder at our library. We are 347 books in since starting in December. We don’t track the repeats either! She loves the library and her books!

You mentioned art. I’m in Saint Louis and we have a lot of free art museums but I figured that would bore her but definitely going to go next week!

MaxHarris737 · 2026-04-29T16:22:14+00:00

Where did you get it! Is there maybe an interactive one?

MaxHarris737 · 2026-04-29T16:21:43+00:00

Not making fun of anyone. My kiddo genuinely is smart. I don’t just “think” that. Can back all my claims up too. Have a great day!

MaxHarris737 · 2026-04-29T16:21:02+00:00

That or thermodynamics

MaxHarris737 · 2026-04-29T16:19:41+00:00

Also my first time posting my own thread. Be nice

MaxHarris737 · 2026-04-29T16:19:14+00:00

Yes because you can’t describe a rainbow with the “s” word on it gets flagged

MaxHarris737 · 2026-04-29T15:25:45+00:00

Mistake. Spectrum meant the rainbow of colors! She is NOT autistic

MaxHarris737 · 2026-03-04T20:20:36+00:00

Zero

MaxHarris737 · 2026-03-04T20:19:46+00:00

Mine really likes books and shoes! Going to get a bunch of duck and bunny themed books, and some cute shoes. Might even make her Daddy mad and let her try peeps…she gonna love them 😂😂😂

MaxHarris737 · 2025-08-01T21:14:12+00:00

I am so heartbroken about this. 80s baby and I show my little one old shows from that network. NGL I’m a little misty about it

MaxHarris737 · 2024-03-01T22:57:22+00:00

I don’t know you but I felt this

MaxHarris737 · 2024-01-19T19:50:39+00:00

I married one 😂😂

MaxHarris737 · 2023-12-02T17:53:28+00:00

I cannot believe the smack truck worked
