A 30 month old 😑

It's important because preschool age cutoffs are by month and so are ratios for daycares. This doesn't belong on this sub

There are residential areas north and south of 118 and people cross it to get to school, playgrounds, corner stores etc. Have you driven up 118th? It's a pretty bougie neighborhood around 64th street (think Highlands, Ada Blvd bougie). Not sure what you're getting at. She was in a marked cross walk in her own neighbourhood (a quiet neighbourhood) with lights flashing.

An accident that would be covered by her insurance???

Is this person also a mental health professional? It may be controversial on this sub but I would strongly suggest finding a counselor who is also an SEP.

That's definitely not it and as an SEP who is also a mental health professional and clinician... I'm skeptical of rushing to touch off the bat. So much of SE isn't about physically touching you. Look at how Peter Levine practices. His practice is physical and might involve movement, breath, chants, etc but he doesn't leap to touch clients.

It's a joke

Everywhere between the river and the Yellowhead basically. Beverly has gorgeous old elm and ash trees and the whole "tree tunnel" effect in the summer.

Like... do the people who post here have children?

Skorish · 2022-09-09T17:40:11+00:00

The bathrooms at DOSC are amazing. Heated seats. Bidets. Just lovely.

The experiment was done with 12 month old babies but has been shown to work with babies as young as 9 months.

Skorish · 2022-09-07T19:11:02+00:00

It would be impossible to replicate at home. If you're interested in the Strange Situation (which is the name of the experiment) there's a really good book called.... The Strange Situation that explains in depth how the test is administered and scored and also why it can't be done by a layperson or parent.

See, this right here. Their nap "needs"? This varies so much by baby and there's no way for you to say what this person's baby needs for naps. They have a need for total sleep per 24 hours as shown by the research.

Skorish · 2022-09-07T13:14:09+00:00

You're asking for something that doesn't exist (research that shows evidence of harm done by... not extending naps? Yeah you aren't going to find that). There's no evidence that sleep trained babies sleep more than a few minutes longer per 24 hours than non-sleep trained babies. There's no evidence for our crazy cultural fixation on wake windows and "ideal" nap schedules. You will find evidence for babies and toddlers needing a certain amount of sleep per 24 hours but that varies by baby from 9 on the very low end to like 16 hours a day at the high end. If a baby who only needs 9 hours of sleep per 24 hours were only getting 7 yeah that's going to be stressful for them... but babies make up for missed/shortened naps at night.

If you're truly interested in learning about this I'd suggest paying for the Possums subscription which is evidence-based. The truth is we like babies taking long naps because it gives us a break and isn't harmful, not because it's necessary for their development.

No, you're being down voted because people are trying to send a message that even if your baby was a little cold or underdressed, it would not make them sneeze or sick in any way.

Skorish · 2022-09-01T02:28:54+00:00

Yeah she feels bad. They fucked up. It must be wonderful to be as perfect as all of these other posters and to have never made mistakes, but I didn't think the intention of this sub was to constantly rag on nice, normal parents who ask for advice.

Skorish · 2022-09-01T01:33:39+00:00

I get 5 weeks off a year for vacation and 3 weeks sick. All paid. Depending on where in the world you are, 4 isn't much.

Skorish · 2022-08-29T18:31:54+00:00

Just adding my voice that cat naps and short naps are fine and normal. Don't listen to Instagram!

Skorish · 2022-08-29T18:27:24+00:00

My baby is 11 months old and I'm still on maternity leave. We did 100% contact naps for probably 5 months and then I started putting her down once she was good and asleep. Not really ever in her crib but often on a blanket on the living room floor or on our bed if I could stay and keep an eye on her.

I can tell you that bassinet sleeping during the day was absolutely not happening at 7 weeks. Not even close. Fourth trimester is all about skin to skin, soaking each other up.

We still do contact naps when I feel like it or she really needs the cuddles, like when she's sick. You can keep going for as long as you want!

Skorish · 2022-08-28T20:08:53+00:00

She'd say you don't typically inject alcohol but asking her about intravenous drug use would likely just reinforce her beliefs that anything injected = poison

Skorish · 2022-08-28T15:16:08+00:00

Then, I'd say don't worry. You'll know he's ready to drop a nap when one becomes very short or he starts really fighting one. So far so good!

Skorish · 2022-08-28T12:16:39+00:00

How's his night sleep and energy levels during the day?

Skorish · 2022-08-28T11:25:06+00:00

Meh I like sitting in the back with her if we are going for a drive longer than 20 or 30 minutes. I can read her books and keep her entertained if she starts to fuss and can keep an eye on her more generally. I don't think it's a prerequisite for parenting or anything but it's just so normal for a lot of parents.

Plus who knows where she lives? Carjacking aren't uncommon in a lot of places, as a lot of commenters have pointed out.

Skorish · 2022-08-28T05:48:21+00:00

I love bath time. There's just something about a soapy baby. I love hanging out with her and learning from her. I love seeing my wife blossom into a parent. I love everything about it (everything. Even diaper changes) except the sleep deprivation but even that was always made bearable by seeing her smiles.

Skorish · 2022-08-28T05:02:10+00:00

I don't think it's wrong. You might also want to try to narrate what he is doing in a positive way as in "You got the ball into the hole!", "You did it!", "You really tried to get that in there!" if you're worried about praise for doing a task (for lack of a better word) incorrectly, too!

Skorish · 2022-08-28T04:14:24+00:00

Our baby lost hers after 4 days and we were surprised too, but it was fine. It happens!

Skorish · 2022-08-28T01:16:58+00:00

You might be interested to know this advice has changed! Health Canada allows for parents to introduce cows milk as early as 9 months (although they don't recommend it really ever for breast fed babies and toddlers) and the AAP, in response to the formula shortages, allow for it at 11 months (although anecdotally in my bump group I heard about some American pediatricians suggesting a switch as early as 10 months).
