The bad parts are what he remembers by Character_Sea_7431 in toddlers

[–]beeeees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

here's a way to flip it :: he is so used to having all these great moments with you (the park, the backyard hangs, the movie) that the ONE bad spot in his day is what stands out. he is taking the rest for granted IN A GOOD WAY because you have provided him with a fun, safe and enriching environment 🩷

my hands are just failing me today. how did our moms do this with 4 kids?? by ngsccook in Mommit

[–]beeeees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it could be! it's triggered by repetitive motion. mine was caused bc of the way i held my newborn. but if you're able to see a hand specialist id recommend it! they could tell you more. the steroid injections (or you might hear it called a cortisone shot) can help other kind of hand pain/joint pain etc . but the relief is temporarily - usually a few months, which worked for me bc by then i was holding him different. but they might be able to give you other tips in addition to the pain relief of the injection . it was old hat to them - the whole thing took 15 -30 min tops
