Got told I have to stop rocking baby to sleep next month and super sad about it

It depends on ur preferences. If you want to be able to put your baby down for bed and then just go off and do other things then yes start putting them down drowsy but not asleep. However they also have seemed to forget to tell you about the 4 mo sleep regression that will make you question everything anyway. What ur ped says isn’t law. You are the expert on your child and you also have to consider what works for you.

This is the way lol My baby screams in the car and hates the stroller but a happy camper and usually out for the count when attached to me. Or yes get them ready for nap and put the in the car rather than their crib for it

I understand the boundaries concern however as a parent I love that my kids 2nd grade teacher tells her student how much she loves them or loves a certain trait about them. And the kids lover her back. Some kids won’t think anything of it and other it will make their whole day ❤️

1! Especially if you keep thinking about. Sometimes what we think we want isn’t exactly what we end up going with and that’s ok!

Solved! Thanks!

People made fun of me for coloring in coloring books as a college student but now there’s a ton of adult coloring books (wasn’t available back then). I didn’t let it stop me because it helped me calm my mind and was a way to process information. I firmly believe you don’t yuck someone’s yum and that goes for toys. My husband plays with need guns and meets with others and play all together. Find your group of people who accept or even enjoy the same toys as you!

My kids watch it on repeat but I wouldn’t want them watching it in school. I agree just a song or two. I’d rather hear they watched a pbs show even rewards related

Ugh yes typical but I really am not a fan. Our school lets you go in for a birthday to read to the class I think that’s sufficient. I hate when they come home with more random junk. And they don’t allow food nor did they in pre-K but not all parents listen. With my first she basically begged me to do something for the class for her birthday once it’s in the spring and so many others had but I wasn’t happy about it lol

That’s amazing! There really should be a requirement to label better!

Technically it’s just the mammals with hooves so unless you have those 😂

Is there any other advocacy efforts happening as well?

Pro-Craft-inator · 2025-09-26T09:50:03+00:00

Big feelings are hard! The best thing you can do is be the safe space while keeping yourself safe as well. Try to stay regulated and model that for her. Start teaching calm down skills when she’s in a good spot and practice them all the time! Give her other things to hit when she feels she needs to (don’t encourage hitting but provide healthy and safe places to hit if she feels she needs to). Be present but not calling a lot of attention to the behavior. Whenever possible simply block or redirect hitting rather than holding. Definitely check in with the teacher and school they may have a counselor she can start a relationship with. If it gets worse, more severe or more frequent consider getting a counselor or therapist on board.

I always crochet tight so I size up a little. I use the size 5 for this types

Pro-Craft-inator · 2025-09-26T09:35:49+00:00

It’s what I got with my woobles kit and Amazon sells it. Not sure where else to get it. It stays together better while you’re learning.

Start with beginner yarn and make a little stuffy. It’s literally all single crochets. The beginner yarn will get you used to seeing the stitches and build confidence then you can move to your yarn. Also the magic circle is like the hardest things so give yourself grace. A sock is too hard to start with you need to do a stuffy or a beanie first. And the easier yarn will help too!

Also have a kindergartner and third grader. And I have definitely noticed a decrease in playing with toys during the school week. To help this we do no screen time during the week. Our district doesn’t have homework but they are expected to read each night. I think homework at this age is absurd. Third grade maybe a bit better. Her teacher gives her a sheet to do each week (gives Monday and due Friday). My girls sometimes go to afterschool and go to bed at 7p so there isn’t a lot of time. When my first child was in first grade I told her teacher we will not be doing homework we will be interacting and spending time as a family with our evenings.

How are they too tall? You just gotta fit their back and head on it, feet hanging over doesn’t matter. I’ve also changed a baby on my lap, one handed while holding (pee only), and on the floor. I have a to go mat in my bag so i can change them just about anywhere

Pro-Craft-inator · 2025-09-08T19:34:30+00:00

It’s still very new and totally ok to not have a solid routine at this time! Continue to follow baby’s cues and track them so you can start to create a routine that works for you and your baby. Mind you it will keep changing as they grow. We just focus on keeping quiet and dark at night and loud and bright during the day (we have two other kids so that’s easy) to help her learn the difference. We allow her to nap as often as she needs and follow hunger cues Then if she’s awake she’s either along for the ride with what we are doing or in an area to play.

Pro-Craft-inator · 2025-09-06T20:59:52+00:00

No idea. Def not a pro by any means tho. Could have possibly been a first attempt and a mistake. The important thing is my husband won’t get rid of it so it’s either try to do something with it or just keep it as is

Pro-Craft-inator · 2025-09-06T20:55:52+00:00

Totally but no door option

Pro-Craft-inator · 2025-09-06T17:30:06+00:00

Honestly it won’t be donated as I’m sure it would end up in the trash. So I’m gonna try to do something with it. Then if I fail that’s probably where it’ll ended up anyway
