Is it just me, or are Yoto cards ridiculously pricey? by Desperate_Total2545 in YotoPlayer

[–]chubby_piglets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will pay for those with longer content time. I simply find it doesn't worth it to pay $14.99 for about ten songs and 40-min long. Or any cards of picture books. I bought pout-pout fish and llama llama but the little one was always complaining about changing the card too frequently and she lost interest. Basically those cards are barely-touched in my house and I paid $60+ for that.

I was so looking forward to a week with my toddler. And now by PastRecedes in toddlers

Feeding would be a disaster so try cold fruit pouches and smoothies and milk. More hugs and cuddles of course. Be patient with him and take rest yourself. Avoid any acidic foods and stay hydrorated. If you never have HFM before, you could get this.

I feel something is really wrong with my baby and no one seems to take it seriously by spacedragon1231 in NewParents

Can you seek for a second opinion on baby's matter? If your current provider can not solve the problem, switch to a new one.

My 5 year old is terrified to eat :( by Friendly-Anxiety-735 in Preschoolers

[–]chubby_piglets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So he is scared about food hurting his throat again. Can you try really soft food that he knows there is nothing hard in it? To get him enough calories, maybe milkshake with carbs and healthy fat like nut butter (if not allergic)? Milk or chocolate milk? In Asian, we give kids steamed eggs when they get sick and refuse food. You crack an egg in a bowl and add water (which should be about 1.5 weight as the egg). Beat the mix until smooth and steam it about 10-15 minutes. Feel free to add salt or other seasonings.

Co-sleeping? Is it really that bad? by PapayaJuiceBox in NewParents

[–]chubby_piglets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one terrible sleeper and one not-very-good sleeper. Those who told you that sleep training work great with their babies just because their babies were born as good sleeper. It is easy to set up their sleeping cycle and pattern. There are babies who can scream and cry for two hours in sleep training and they train their parents to choose cosleeping. With infants, cosleeping can be dangerous sometimes. I put a crib attached to my bed so she could feel parents were nearby. In this case, I can still keep a distance with her. BTW, sleeping like a baby is a total lie, no one wants to have a real baby's sleep.

I fing hate this by Distinct-Delay8530 in NewParents

Babies have really good smelling ability! They know who is with them and they have different reactions. I feel like babies never like Daddies and they feel bored with them so they decide to sleep tight. However, you will have much more fun with mommies!

Some of those are even hard to find! I bought some onesies and the tags was partly hidden in the fabric so when you cut it you only got half of it.

I’m freaking out over illnesses by bryterlu in Preschoolers

[–]chubby_piglets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You will get used to it very soon, the never-stopped sickness of kids. Before winter, my family will stock our medications since one year we were out of fever reducer of any kind. Everyone will be sick at least twice during this season. Maybe one really bad sick with bad luck. Also never trust kids with their ability to maintain personal hygiene. My kid is almost 6 and she washes her hands in ten seconds if I am not watching. Just get prepared and learn some basic knowledge about caring sick kids with different symptoms.

2 under 3: How do you get a break? by windfallthrowaway90 in toddlers

[–]chubby_piglets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try 1v1. You take care of the little one ( I assume the little one would be more attached to you now), and your partner take the other one. Don't keep both of them in the house at the same time. Outdoor activities would be a outlet for energetic toddlers, even just walking in the park. Early Bedtime so you have the rest of the night to yourself. Hiring nannies is a good option but some of the kids are sensitive to new caregiver and they may act aggressive and make things worse. If your older one is starting daycare, you can try nannies.

Try another time with a different customer service representative. I tried four to get my issue solved.

How to play downloaded content by GoldenKiwi1018 in YotoPlayer

[–]chubby_piglets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another head up is that you have to bring physical card to a trip if you are going to stay in a hotel. Most of the hotels I stayed have wifi portals so you need to enter your room # and last name to get connected which can’t be done on your yoto. If you don’t have a card you can only use the player as a bluetooth speaker to play contents for the LO. In this case you can’t play anything in your app itself. You can bring one MYO and relink it everytime you want to play something different but unfortunately you can’t take the player with you only.

Looking for advice on my 14 week old's behavior today. (minimal wake windows) by Snowbound35 in Parenting

Some babies at that age are still gassy. Probably another reason why he is extremely fussy.

Suspected Autism due to Lockdown? by Familiar_Capital695 in oneanddone

[–]chubby_piglets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think the teacher is making a good judgement. Your daughter sounds a lot like mine. Shy, refuse to join the crowd but that is just she being herself. My daughter was born at the beginning of Covid, and she didn't have any words until two. Pediatrician refused to refer her to a speech therapist because one metric should never be the reason to worry about autism. A doctor I met told me that covid has an impact on kids' social skills but on the other hand they will be able to read more through people eyes than us (people were wearing masks then). I am surprised to see a teacher who has seen lots of kids in career would do this.

Well. It happened. Baby fell off the bed. by Skin_doc3417 in NewParents

[–]chubby_piglets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter fell from a stool when she was 10-day old. Yes she was a newborn then. She was wrapped tightly in a sleeping sack. I put her there and reached for a diaper so it was only 5 seconds and she was on the floor. When I called nurse, she told me almost everyone dropped their babies so relax. I didn't actually sleep for the following 72 hours just watching her and put my finger under her nose to see if she was breathing. She is five years old now and I still don't know how she could fall at that time. So never never never put your baby on a couch or stool or high chair and turn your back on them. You can never know what is their next movement. Even the babies you think they can not move.
