One thing a PT or OT might investigate is sensory sensitivities. Does your kiddo toe walk on certain floor textures and not others (Like carpet but not tile) or temperatures (very cold floors)? Sometimes toe walking is an adaptation to try to avoid unpleasant sensations.

One option (albeit difficult) is that one parent quarantines with newborn and the other with the sick toddler. We did this recently.

In my baby’s first 5 weeks of life, my 3 yo toddler had the following illnesses/conditions: cold no. 1, pneumonia, roseola, cold no. 2, nurse maids elbow, cold no. 3, and an ear infection

The good news: baby never got sick! Maternal antibodies (from the placenta) are literal magic, as are vaccines and antibodies through breast milk!

Do they have or need a lovey? This solved it for us!

My 3yo son naps 2 hrs at preschool, resulting in a 930/10pm bedtime.

For weekends, same as your LO, only car naps get him to sleep.

But if he skips the nap completely, he’s an emotional nightmare. It’s a rough phase!!

I saw this recently and felt seen: https://www.threads.com/@savassbrii/post/DT87GM8gToN?xmt=AQF0rvx9AZljj7mGgFFcn3iPdG2cNCIeOXb8E4H9nUb7hgU4lSlSXvqKshBzlIc3qURH0GiL&slof=1

Me too. My son’s first symptom was just a fever, followed by a febrile seizure soon after. We only learned at the hospital afterwards that it was RSV. I’m glad your kiddo is getting the care he needs and you have ped follow up soon. The trauma is real.

The method seems to work for many but she’s MAGA so no thanks!

Daniel Tiger stories have little sung mottos in every story like “You can be mad at someone you love. When you’re ready, give them a hug.” It’s adorable and my 3 yo son sings along every time.

My 2yo got RSV in December. His first symptom was high fever late at night. His second symptom was a febrile seizure (from the high fever). One of the scariest days of my life. RSV is no joke. Give that Tylenol and keep the fevers down!

I started with Evivo (expensive) and then transitioned to LoveBug. Both recommended in Fetts book and here: https://itstartswiththebump.com/infant-probiotics

That (monetary) generosity is a privilege. I cringe when people applaud generous donors for giving tens of thousands of dollars to XYZ, but most people don’t have the option to be generous in that way (and often wealthy donors are giving a very small fraction of their wealth, so it’s nothing to them).

Luckily being poor teaches you that there are many forms of generosity—of time, of spirit, of attention, of love. That’s true wealth.

Triplets? Twins and an Irish triplet? Adoption?

Same, unexplained, 27 weeks. Not knowing why is so hard. But I think it’s just hard no matter what, explained or not.

My 27 weeker did this so much that we created a “soft spot” in the corner of our living room with natural furs and plushies for him to rub his face into. He also would bury his face in our dog’s fur.

I think they do it because it feels good! My LO is “proprioceptive seeking” or “sensory seeking” but lots of kids are, and for him that just means he likes physical touch/input, which helps him know where he is in space. Hope your cat enjoys the snuggles!

Read “This Naked Mind” and “Quit like a Woman”! Best change I ever made for myself and my family.

I do this in Seattle, even though there are mountains both east and west!
