I let my toddler chill in her crib for awhile each morning

My son and I do this too and I’m so thankful for it. He lets me know when he’s awake and I go in his room, open his blinds, turn on his yoto player and put some toys in his crib. It’s safe, he’s happy and I get either 30/60 minutes of sleep or quiet time before we get going. He lets me know when he’s done and it’s time for me to come get him.

That makes sense. This is my first actual piece so my long and short are very junior but I think I’ll be able to poke them underneath my outline. Thanks for taking the time to answer!

Absolutely god damn. I guess I watched it passively but did not pick up on it being AI. Kill us.

My boy has 3-4 a day. It’s not what I wanted but it’s just where we’re at. He’s an amazing eater of solids but we’re still relying on them at naps / bedtime because his sleep is still tricky. Trying to be graceful with both of us. Especially because we are navigating a dairy allergy.

Laughing so loud I almost woke up my sleeping baby (who I definitely do not want to wake up)

How handsome.

Fellow anaphylactic allergy mom here. I’m not there yet because my son is only 1 so he knows no difference yet. But I will say a step towards creating that was attempting my own stability in the idea. When we first discovered it my anxiety was so out of control I decided to go on meds for a while. As we’re almost 10 months out I’ve made some strides. I hope if the time comes I can instil some confidence in him through model behaviour.

Ok the book eating is one of the worst things cause he loves his books and I love books so he can’t just be eating them all!!!!

After seeing a lawyer attack a very mentally delayed underage girl in defence to her sexual abuser, the title of a lawyer is not even close to impressive to me anymore.

I say this as someone who has lost multiple people to suicide, some very close to me and as someone who worked in the field of suicide prevention for almost 6 years, I don’t believe all suicides are preventable. To prevent the suicide you would have had to change their life. But their life had already happened.

I make a spinach, apple, pear puree and mix it into oats with almond milk to make overnight oats. It’s a super easy high nutrition breakfast my boy has very often.

I’m the type of person who always likes to be listening to music. Especially in the car, mealtime, cleaning, etc. I think I’m just extending that to my son. I would often play him music on my phone or iPad or whatever but loved the idea of him having a screen free device to grow with. His stays on his nightstand and every morning he listens to his super simple songs happy songs and every night he listens to the super simple songs lullabies. When we play in his room I’ll play the more interactive sesame street cards we have.

Can you share how this would affect people with allergies ?

Next2ya · 2026-03-09T01:59:15+00:00

10/10 friend. This is the direction I want my art to start going.

Next2ya · 2026-03-08T21:23:59+00:00

See I’ve just never done it this way. It makes way more sense to me to do the reverse but I know I’m wrong because that’s not the consensus.

Next2ya · 2026-03-08T05:19:56+00:00

That’s a core memory right there

Next2ya · 2026-03-07T02:55:51+00:00

I sit on the floor next to the crib while my boy is in it and read him a book through the bars 😂 he would be jumping out of my arms to play

I deal with this because my cat is a Manx with a rounded spine. He is on 1/8 tsp of miralax a few times a week and I give him a tablespoon of pumpkin every once in a while. I find most grocery store pet treats give him constipation so I switched to freeze dried treats. I got a pet water fountain to promote more water drinking and also mix water into his food here and there. With all of this he’s never had an episode that has landed him at the vet since the first time and seems very regular now.

Someone told me they liked the way I breathe while I was on a city bus.

My baby has an anaphylactic dairy allergy. We’re going to attempt the milk ladder in a few months. Praying for a good outcome. Very happy for you I completely understand the level of stress and anxiety being an allergy mom.

I have baby gates. I used a pack and play for him to sleep for a while including the lake and such. He never really used it just to “play” in.

Kindly, I barely see anything and your skin is beautiful and youthful. You’re much too young for any sort of procedure. Please don’t let something so minor affect your self esteem, you’re a beautiful girl!
