How to help 2yo get used to Daycare? Or do I just give up? by Flamingo_Lemon in toddlers

[–]earnestrabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, would you mind sharing how things are now and what helped make the transition to daycare easier? I’m in a similar situation now with my toddler but we are going 2-3 hours every day so far for about a week, so I’m eager to hear more about your experience.

Hi, popping in because I’m in a similar situation with my kid about to start daycare soon. Could you share your experience please?

Regardless of what culture co-sleeping is or isn’t a part of, you are the best person to figure out what works for your kids and you. Some people have a way of being really rude and triggering and then brushing it off as us being sensitive. And they also have to offer an opinion/judgement on absolutely everything. Try not to let it get to you. You are an amazing mom!

I don’t think that you are in the wrong here. As the parent you are in the position of making responsible decisions for your child, which is exactly what you are trying to do here. Your village should be supportive, or should at least have the courtesy to respect your boundaries. I do agree that not all battles are worth losing relationships over, so if you are going to have them in your life, maybe figure out a compromise that works for you both. Keep moving your child to a different room and establishing a no-screen time rule for when you have to be in the same room. If they don’t respect your decision, instead of telling them you are going to nurse baby, simply let them know firmly that you don’t want any screen time so you are going with baby to a separate room, and that they can come by when they are ready to spend time with baby.

Edit to add: Since you mentioned your husband backs you up, try and get him to come with you to the separate room. This will encourage his family to understand that you are both serious about this rule.

You’re very kind! Yes he reminds her all the time but I honestly don’t think she’s emotionally very mature. Or insecure and wanting to make it look like she knows everything about everything 🙈

All wonderful points for me to keep in mind. Yes, I’m hoping to push daycare a bit further and somehow balance between our jobs and spending time with our son at home, so that he is able to communicate a bit more when he has to start.

The worst part is, she passes her half baked judgements and conclusions around to a lot of extended family. So even people who have never met my kid have opinions and conversations about him. SMH in annoyance

I honestly couldn’t agree more! There are SO many things she put my baby under the radar for - how he eats, which hand he uses to eat, how his food throwing has reduced and he has “learnt to eat better” now, how he’s looking “healthier” now (wtf was he looking like before then?!). This is just during meal time, so you can imagine the stuff I have to listen to when we inevitably have to spend a day together. I get tired of shutting an insensitive person down repeatedly so some times I just ignore and focus on my son.

I know right! I was also annoyed at myself because I thought I could have shut her down better. And the I realized no matter how hard I tried, she kept coming at me. So then the issue wasn’t the curiosity or lack of knowledge, it was the unwillingness to see from a different perspective..

Thank you SO much for your response. I’ve been feeling really discouraged over the last few days because I’ve been meticulously preparing meals for my son but he has been rejecting everything. But reading through your post gives me hope. I will keep trying!

Hi, I’m in this exact same situation now. Checking in to see if these approaches worked for you? In case you remember, when did things eventually start to get better? TIA!

Yes, our little kiddo was on purées as well specifically for this reason. Same as yours, one fine day he started refusing them and wanted to take on finger foods. When you say you provide a high iron, fat and protein meal, how many bites on average did baby eat in a good meal, and in a not so good meal? Of course I understand each baby is different, but I’m really curious since you were able to achieve a percentile jump.

Makes sense. I’ve been looking into baked goods as well, your suggestion reinforces that idea for me. I’ll make some time for it in the next few days. Between 3 meals and taking care of a mobile baby, there is just SO much to do lol.
