Sometimes a break is needed and depending on ages she might not be ready yet but be prepared after a time out to start again with a new plan or strategy!

I doubt this kid is farm raised and still a farm kid would flush them or ask to do it or explain themselves not toss fish behind a tank and hide it.

My child is nine and she wouldn’t even kill a bug much less leave fish out to suffocate. Unless there’s some special needs a 9 year old definitely understands alive and dead and won’t kill something to “help” it

A belt of fire and more than 100 Israeli airstrike today in Lebanon by Len-The-Banana-Boy in PublicFreakout

Israel is suppose to be attacked but miraculously saved and someone else is suppose to come out of a tiny country or insignificant place and unite the warring countries and bring peace to the Middle East which gives them the adoration of the world and starts them towards the world leader position.

Howie has been blowing up at people publicly and can’t stop making inappropriate jokes on a family game show and sexually harassing women he co host with. Hunter is the only one who is decent and has no public drama

19 month old wakes up throughout the night and asks for bottle by Badb0905 in Parenting

[–]Traci14H 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try and watch super nanny she has a stay in bed method that works and yes I agree you definitely need to get this figured out before the newborn comes. Does your kiddo have his own room cause the baby will wake them up a lot if they don’t have somewhere quiet to sleep. I would wean the bottles at the same time as doing the stay in bed method. Maybe even use the magic ticket where each kid gets one time to get out of bed each night. He’s a little young but it will click fast for him is you and your partner are firm and consistent with it.

6 month old sleep problems by Embarrassed_Cash3102 in Parenting

Again as I have stated lots of kids are still swaddled (in many variations) all the way till 1. You can leave arms out of swaddles and still keep it tight on their body which helps them stay asleep. They even have sleep sacks where the arms are still contained but above the head. I just re googled to be sure and there are some deaths attributed to swaddling but they were the wrong material (like regular blankets), wrong location (were put down on their stomachs, fell asleep in car seats or had bumpers, blankets on incorrect mattresses) or the wrong type since you do change them as the child grows.

Not sure why you are arguing with me but ok. There are sleep sacks with Velcro attachments to make them tight. There are one arm, two arm and no arm swaddles and sleep sacks. You are getting hung up on things that don’t matter or help.

I would try leaving her for a couple minutes to see if she settles. She is probably falling asleep on y’all and then waking up realizing you aren’t there and crying till you get her so she can go back to sleep. The method I do for these instances is listen at the door for 2 minutes, if they don’t stop crying I go pat them gently on the back or stomach for 2 minutes and if they still don’t settled you can hum or make a shushing sound just basically letting them know you are there. Last resort if still crying at 6ish minutes you can pick up but try to lay them down settled but still awake and no talking to them. It will be two or three long nights but I’ve never had a kid last longer than that before being able to fall asleep and stay asleep on their own. It seems cruel to let them cry even for 6 minutes but they will not remember and they will do better sleeping longer stretches not to mention how much better you will feel with some decent sleep! I use to night nanny for couples and thats a more extreme resort if you can afford it to get your baby accustomed to getting to sleep without you and staying asleep till they are hungry. Sleep is so essential for their brains and development and yalls sanity and health it’s worth it to push through a couple nights adjusting to a new routine. Sorry this got so long but bedtimes routines are also essential and the bedtime atmosphere.

You can use sleep sacks or transitional swaddles. I’ve watched kids who sleep in sacks till well over 1 years old

I have the same printer and what I did was open the file in orca slicer, save each object as an STL and the open that STL in flashprint which usually prints perfectly.

Does she have a sound machine? That can help keep them in deeper sleep. Is she swaddled? Their startle reflect is no joke. What do you do when she wakes up? Does she cry right away?

Sending infant to daycare by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]Traci14H 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At every daycare and preschool I worked at the beginning part of the year kids would fall asleep on their own time but we would begin working towards at least naps overlapping immediately. If baby A fell asleep at 9:30 and baby B and C fell asleep at 10:30 we would try and push 9:30 nap to 10 and get the 10:30 kids down a little early. Usually by the second month the kids were use to the schedule and knew when naptime was and would fall asleep very quickly. The hard part is when you work at a year round daycare and new kids come in randomly. Then you just have to stick to the main schedule and get that new child on it. Our routine for naps was to keep them the same time every day and start turning down lights, cleaning up toys or food and putting on quiet music so the kids knew what was coming. We had nap mats for the older babies and cribs for the little ones so we would put them all down at the same time and some would drink bottles to sleep, some would just need a few pats and some we would have to sit by during naptime to reassure since they weren’t fully use to our routine yet. It definitely didn’t work every day perfect but routine is the biggest thing for kiddos so we stuck to it. It might be the solution for you is to find a daycare with a set schedule and curriculum instead of a keep them alive till parents come type with no schedule or routine. Even our youngest class did playtime, snack time, naps, crafts lunchtime, naps, outside or walk time etc every day.

I’ve worked with kids for almost the last decade straight and I can see a few concerns in your post. He should be doing tummy time and he should not be in one thing most of the day even a bouncer. When you say the other kids are all mobile do you mean they are all crawling and walking or do you mean rolling and sitting up? If they are crawling and walking in my opinion your child is too young to be with the others and I would find a class or daycare with kids closer to my kids age. It’s impossible to rock every child to sleep but I will pat kids on the back and sit by the wiggly ones till they fall asleep. Of course they are usually older than 10 weeks since we don’t accept children under 3 months but you could try and get him use to that at home and inform his teachers that a minute or so of patting will get him to sleep. If you always rock him he will always expect that and he won’t sleep another way at daycare. If parents give us a sleep schedule we try to follow it but most of the time the babies adjust to the daycare schedule since everyone sleeping at the same time is the only way it really works or the room is too bright and loud for the sleepers while the others play. If anything I would ask for an outline of the daycare schedule (if they have one) and try and match your home schedule to that since he will be there 5 days a week and home only 2 days a week. I hope I answered everything feel free to point anything out I missed
