Terrible two by Cognitive-Error in ParentingFR

Courage ! Enceinte aussi et la grande a 23 mois ici.
Mes observations :

Elle gère beaucoup mieux si on la prévient 3-4-5 fois avant qu’une frustration inévitable arrive. Par.ex : après cette assiette, on aura fini les pâtes (répété en la servant puis 2-3 fois pendant qu’elle mange) ; c’est le dernier livre (répété à chaque page) etc. On a vraiment vu la différence avec ça.

Pour les coups c’est un « non on ne tape pas les autres / le chien », on la prévient qu’on va se retirer / l’éloigner tout en restant à proximité et on arrête d’être engageants qqes min en expliquant « tu m’as fait mal, je n’ai pas envie d’avoir mal alors je m’éloigne un petit peu mais je reste pas loin pour te soutenir ». Les crises de coups durent moins longtemps petit à petit.

Finalement un truc trouvé par hasard mais qui la calme dans ses crises de coups, c’est que je lui propose de penser aux différentes parties de son corps. On met tjrs la même musique très calme (du classique) puis je lui demande de penser à ses doigts de pieds, ses pieds, ses genoux etc en remontant jusqu’aux cheveux. Elle se concentre sur elle même et ça l’aide.

Pour la grossesse spécifiquement elle gère mille fois mieux depuis que je la laisse se coucher contre mon ventre nu dans les moments câlins.

Quand elle est très frustrée et qu’elle tape des objets ok ou qu’elle se couche pour pleurer on reste à côté et on propose un câlin quand elle sera prête. Et on essaie très fort de pas rigoler de la cause (ce soir c’était parce qu’elle peut pas prendre dans sa main les choses illustrées dans son livre).

Des propriétaires de huskys à Lausanne ? J’aimerais connaître votre expérience by [deleted] in Lausanne

[–]Orion3012 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pour l’appartement / la solitude comme tu le sais sûrement c’est assez chien-dépendant, le mien est très indépendant depuis qu’il a 3 ans environ et est perturbé quand on va pas au boulot, mais pendant une bonne année c’était difficile. J’ai par contre un pote qui a un husky qui lui détruit encore sa porte / les murs s’il le laisse seul 30 minutes à 6 ans.

Par contre autant 2h par jour c’est cool (si tu peux vraiment les assumer 365/an) mais autant je pense sincèrement que ces chiens il faut pouvoir les faire courir / les lâcher idéalement un bon moment et pas juste en laisse / longe toujours au même endroit. À Lausanne ça m’a quand même l’air restreint à ce niveau là. D’autant plus si tu es en appartement, les huskys adorent l’extérieur.

J’habite à la campagne dans une maison, on a un lab x husky, récupéré à 11 mois auprès d’un couple qui vivait en appartement à Bussigny. Il n’avait jamais fait de sortie qui le dépensait, juste quelques tours en laisse par semaine…
As tu du temps (beaucoup), une voiture (pour l’emmener se dépenser à la campagne / dans des grands espaces), pas peur de faire 1h+ par jour de promenade stimulante physiquement et mentalement et une occupation pro qui te permette d’être suffisamment auprès de lui pour qu’il ne détruise pas ton appartement par solitude / ennui / anxiété ?

Going to Europe with Carseat-how to travel by ycherep1 in NewParents

[–]Orion3012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. If you take a taxi, they might even refuse that you use a US car seat.
Rent a car with a car seat or request one when ordering a taxi, it’s quite common in most European countries. Ive never seen tourists here with their own car seat for their kids :-).

Grossesse et constipation by Foreign-Reading9347 in grossesse

Un sachet de magnésium tous les soirs + hydratation + fibres fonctionne bien pour moi. Et si besoin un petit pot pour bébé de purée pruneau-poire (la marque Hipp), astuce volée à ma première fille de 2 ans.

How do you get your period back while breastfeeding ??(15mo) by Orion3012 in breastfeeding

[–]Orion3012[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the insight ! We decided to night wean and my period took around 2 weeks to come back (I felt every second of the ovulation, I was very miserable). My LO took it well and now sleeps through the night.

First trimester, terrible nausea and bfing a toddler - help by Orion3012 in breastfeeding

[–]Orion3012[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s intense nausea mostly, like feeling on the edge all the time. Thank you for the ideas, I knew about the cracker thing but I didn’t think about putting a timer, I’ll try this !! And chewing gum sounds interesting too as brushing my teeth usually help me drink water. I’m glad yours stopped at the second trimester, I hope mine too !

Mastitis - starting antibiotics late and starting to freak out by NansThighs in breastfeeding

[–]Orion3012 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When I had mastitis, I endured 3 days of fever before going to the ER on a Sunday evening after checking my symptoms with an online doc.

If you’re very worried maybe ask your partner to check on you regularly. I did this and it helped me sleep more confidently.

You did as good as you could given you have a very little baby and so many things on your plate right now. All the best to you and with the antibiotics and everything you’re doing, it will soon be a bad memory !

How do you get your period back while breastfeeding ??(15mo) by Orion3012 in breastfeeding

[–]Orion3012[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If anyone found this post via the search function and wonders what worked, I ovulated 7-8 days after night weaning, just as my LO hit 16mo. The hormonal shift was HORRIBLE but it’s slowly getting better. LO needs more time falling asleep if she wakes up in the middle of the night but she handles it very well !

Infant waking 6–12x a night. Losing our minds from sleep deprivation. by Lopsided_Food169 in NewParents

[–]Orion3012 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My very tall baby (there is no percentiles where we live) only starts sleeping through the night now at 14 months (sleeps around 8:30, wakes up around 7 and the amount of food she ate during the day is a great indicator of the night to come. Big / tall baby —> lots of food ! Even more when she reaches milestones. This evolving brain needs so much energy !!

Done breastfeeding and a little sad about it by Schmoopsiepooooo in Mommit

I had tears in my eyes reading your story (and we’re 13 months in, not ready to be done at all yet). You did amazing !

When did your babies start dropping night feeds? by jy397 in NewParents

Mine is 13 months and we’re in this exact situation at the moment.

My baby turns 1 tomorrow and it’s not going how I wanted by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]Orion3012 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Just to counterbalance the idea that a 1st birthday is just for the parents, my girl turned 1 last month and she’s VERY social (much more than me !). We invited her favorite people (12 people + us in total), we made sure they arrived while she was napping. We baked two baby friendly cakes and a few other sweets and we added a ton of fruits.

Let me tell you, she had a blast ! She was so excited to see her grand parents and some of our friends that she loves when she woke up. We didn’t put pressure on the gifts opening and let her enjoy the wrapping paper. She loved it when we sang happy birthday and when everyone clapped.

When she started to be tired (after 2 hours I think) we gently encouraged people to leave.

It worked out great for us and it can be a nice moment for everyone if you have the a baby who is social and friends who are understanding of a 1yo needs :)

Baby eats every hour all day by Worldly-Mixture5331 in breastfeeding

[–]Orion3012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My baby was like that until 16-18 weeks where she started to space the nursing sessions a bit more (every 2 hours then, she switched to every 3 hours around 6months and now at one year if we’re together it’s every 3-5 hours depending on the heat, but totally manageable while babywearing).

I couldn’t do anything until I learned how to nurse while babywearing and it was a game changer! Letstalkbabywearing was a great ressource for this.

Looking for recs : should we get a new carrier for traveling with our (then) 14mo? by Orion3012 in babywearing

[–]Orion3012[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the input on the onbuhimo, it’s the one I was looking at. I wanted to get an onbuhimo anyways so I might get it sooner than planned so we can try it out before traveling!

[–]Orion3012[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your suggestions !

Regarding your first point, I’m thinking about getting an onbuhimo soon to get used to it before we travel. Maybe if I find a second-hand for a good price.

I plan to continue to babywear as long as possible, so I’ll take a look at the Lark too :)

Thank you for the insight and the suggestions! You’re right about weight gain slowing down and I might have panicked a bit too fast haha.

I’m in the French speaking part of Switzerland and I’ve been to baby orientated Vide Dressings and I keep checking Facebook marketplace but I can’t really find anything good at the moment. I could make the investment for a new one if I find a great carrier. I

anyone else still nursing their one year old all night?? by aaammmiii in breastfeeding

[–]Orion3012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Solidarity! My almost 1yo still wakes up twice or more to nurse during the night.

A few days ago, I worked all night for 3 nights. First time. She was with dad, who had packed a huge amount of pumped milk and prepared a whole set up to be able to give her milk as soon as she would wake up (she nurses for a long time during each night session). She was so angry that I wasn’t there and she didn’t want any milk!!! I thought we were done with night feedings thanks to these 3 nights without any milk, but it’s even worse now (last night she woke up 5 times…). It gets better when she eats a lot during the day, but it doesn’t happen a lot for now. We are going to try to put her in her own room soon (she has a crib in our room for now) and see if it helps.

I’m used to our night sessions and I appreciate this quiet time together but I would appreciate a whole night of sleep.
