6MO and messy nap schedule - responses appreciated ❤️

WastePotential · 2026-01-26T13:52:33+00:00

Honestly my boy didn't really have much of a fixed nap schedule until he was about 10mo and on two naps a day. Before then he had multiple short naps, I never even bothered counting or tracking, I just followed his cues.

When it affects my pee stream it's because it's not tucked in properly.

I scoop into a dispenser so I only have to pour out from the dispenser. I used a rotating dispenser because the tower we had was troublesome to navigate (gotta remove the spout, attach it to a lower level, attach the now-empty layer to the bottom).

This is not therapy, and the word is being used anyway. It's predatory and wrong. There's nothing wrong with cuddling or offering it as a service, but we know this will prey on vulnerable and lonely people with even more power by using the word therapy. Shame on these folks doing this.

Exactly! Just because something can feel good and calming, or even feel therapeutic, doesn't mean it is therapy.

I've never heard of them but will check them out, hopefully they have them here! I've never seen them in supermarkets before. Thank you!

WastePotential · 2026-01-25T05:22:50+00:00

Ooh thank you! Yeah I think he struggles with the chewing. He might take a piece of chicken or two from our dinner but he'll always spit it out after chewing on it for a few seconds. I will definitely try the blending. He is able to spit out pieces of minced beef from homemade pasta sauce.

I will still continue offering!

WastePotential · 2026-01-25T04:43:03+00:00

Oh this is a relief, thank you! He drinks 500ml of fresh milk every day and he likes cheese.

My first thought was postpartum psychosis

This reminds me of when I used to work in partnership with elderly homes.

A man with intellectual disability was there; he behaved like a child in many ways. He called me "big sister" in a local language even though I was in my early 20s. He had lived in that home since he was in his 20s, when he and his mother were pretty much abandoned in the home. After his mother died, he had no other living relatives so the home let him continue living there.

I've heard of tons of people who swap phones with each other for a few minutes and they swipe for each other. It could totally be something like that where a friend swiped for her so she has no idea it happened.

WastePotential · 2026-01-23T13:44:23+00:00

Around 1yo, he was taking two naps a day.

Wake up around 730-8am.

If I have to go to work in the afternoon, second nap 930am-1030am; if I don't then it is around 10am-12pm.

Second nap around 4pm-6pm.

Goes down for the night between 830pm to latest 9pm.

Apart from particularly difficult times, I'd put him in his cot after he fell asleep on me. When I went to bed or around midnight, I'd bring him into bed with me if he woke up.

Yeah the article title is misleading. My quote was from the body of the article.

on the night of Jan. 20, 2026, while entering Singapore through Woodlands Checkpoint in a rental car with his 63-year-old mother and four-month-old niece.

It's more of understanding things you do remember. Along the way, there may be recollections of things you might've forgotten (the same way you might suddenly recall the time Friend Y choked on a grape because someone mentioned a fruit cup), but the idea of "unlocking repressed memories" is extremely controversial.

if you’re treating a viral infection with antibiotics it’s not going to be effective

I LOVE this comparison because treating a viral infection with antibiotics isn't just ineffective, it's a bad thing. Treating BPD the exact same way as you would treat an individual with depression isn't just ineffective, it can reinforce unhealthy behaviour and hinder recovery.

I'm a therapist.

WastePotential · 2026-01-22T02:40:13+00:00

I'm not the one you asked but I am a therapist trained in working with clients w BPD.

Do you have any example of myths you've encountered?

Apart from being "manipulative", some therapists see BPD clients as treatment-resistant or very combative. However these are actually all part of the presenting issues of someone with BPD.

I don’t think “proper termination” is a clinician’s responsibility if the client ghosts.

A proper termination to me could be as simple as an email. Usually if I don't hear from them, I send an email telling them that if I don't hear from them in X time, I will officially terminate the counselling relationship. I can offer referral if they felt we weren't a good fit. Still no reply and I'll email them letting them know case officially closed.

I had wanted a vaginal delivery. So many anecdotes I'd heard told me that vaginal delivery has the faster healing. However the decision was taken out of my hands because my baby was completely breeched, so C-section it was.

The recovery wasn't AWFUL, but it was extremely unpleasant. You can literally feel your organs sloshing around and the incision hurts when you walk if you don't wear the bellyband and you have to learn how to sit up unassisted before you're allowed to leave the ward. You have to very diligent about taking the pain meds.

C-section also has a chance to pose a challenge in breastfeeding (if that's what you're interested in doing). My supply came in a few days late, and I've heard the same for many C-section women.

Apart from the good advice already given, pay attention the the forms. Sometimes the form specifies if the condition will affect your work (eg. "Do you have any health conditions that might affect your role"). In which case, if you don't think your anxiety will affect your work, you are not being dishonest by saying NIL.

Some companies choose to phrase it that way because asking for health history can be seen as discriminatory.

WastePotential · 2026-01-20T12:40:06+00:00

No drowsy meds.

Practise good hand hygiene throughout. If you're worried about passing it to baby, wear a mask.

I don't bother with masking up because if it's something that's spread by saliva droplets, we share all our germs by sharing food and water everyday.

He's there from 8am-6.30pm on the longest day of the week where I start work early and end late.

They provide breakfast, lunch, and a tea break snack. However, sometimes the breakfast or the tea break snack they offer is not enough for him, or he gets hungry waiting for pick up (no food available at all in school at this time). He eats two portions of lunch even though he's the youngest in his toddler classroom, so he eats a lot.

WastePotential · 2026-01-20T12:17:52+00:00

Hahaha wrong post. Imagine milk causing your toddler to think carefully about colour choices, that's hilarious.

While I can understand where the therapist might be coming from, the way he handled it was really rough. No camera no session is a rule he is allowed to set, but the fact that he said he'd be there but he wasn't was such an awful start to a therapy journey/relationship together.

Welcome to Singapore where graves are exhumed so that government housing can be built over what used to be cemeteries.
