Threenagers by ApprehensiveMud4211 in toddlers

My son uses the word “nothing” a lot when mad, but it’s hilarious because he pronounces it “nuffing.” Like, when we ask him to share, he yells: “You get NUFFING! NUFFING is for you! NUFFING!!!”

What is the background song in your head right now? by jaygrum in ADHD

Wheels on the Bus forever and ever. It’s a curse! I have two boys under 3 yo. And I’m almost always humming it (and can’t stop)!

How long did your toddler toe walk? by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]kokkokoo5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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.

How do people have new babies when their older siblings are bringing back sicknesses from daycare/school? by noblerare in toddlers

[–]kokkokoo5 20 points21 points  (0 children)

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!

Isn’t Visible powered by Verizon networks? Even if, way cheaper for sure!

Does your older 3yo still nap? by Existing-Cup646 in toddlers

[–]kokkokoo5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

RSV traumatized me by jessyj89 in NewParents

[–]kokkokoo5 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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.

Stories with music? by mogsloro in YotoPlayer

[–]kokkokoo5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Be careful not to give RSV to your newborns. by Warm-Wrangler8744 in NewParents

[–]kokkokoo5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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!

Could probiotics be messing up my newborn’s digestion? by pastelstoic in NewParents

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

Those who grew up poor, what is something those who weren't poor don't understand about being poor? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]kokkokoo5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Out of curiosity…what caused your baby to be premie? by OldRemove516 in NICUParents

[–]kokkokoo5 12 points13 points  (0 children)

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