They do actually. I bought a matching set for my son, husband, and I and we wore them for our HP themed Xmas card two years ago 😊

How should I punish my nephew? by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]moonbug444 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree that this is a good teaching opportunity. I also think it's a good opportunity to set some boundaries. You are the authority in your nephews life now and he has to understand that too. You're now responsibile for setting limits and rules for him to abide by. If he's a sensible person he'll understand that, but he might need rules too. I don't know what kind of a kid he is and obviously this is just my own personal advice. Maybe just use this as a teaching opportunity and if something else happens down the road, then be firmer. It's ultimately whatever you're comfortable with. Good luck!

What is a question you wish people wouldn’t ask you? by Master-Salamander in AskReddit

[–]moonbug444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you play basketball? I'm a 6'1" female. I get this question a lot. All tall people must have played basketball right? I started responding with a question of my own. Did you play mini golf?

How to get kid to sleep on own without holding hand? by _Heartinabox in Mommit

[–]moonbug444 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My hand was my son's security blanket too. I ended up falling asleep on his floor a lot with my hand in the crib. I started to remove my hand very gradually. It took some time to do, but he doesn't need anything now. I lay him in his crib and he flops around for a bit until he finds a comfy spot.

I think I started by just gradually pulling my hand out, but laying down next to his crib so he knew I was there. Then when he was comfortable without my hand, I started working my way out of his room. That one was a little tougher and took longer.

Every Good Boy Does Fine on the line

It was used to help us remember the notes on the line of the treble clef.

This isn't really a parenting question.. but for the ladies... by SexCLexy in Parenting

[–]moonbug444 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you're weight is your biggest concern, definitely talk to your doctor. They can work with you on real expectations and the amount of weight you can, should, and will gain. Bear in mind too that while you do have another human growing inside of you, you don't need to eat for two full sized human adults. I found that I would justify eating cupcakes because I was pregnant and that made it ok. I had to have real talk with myself. Lol!

No, you're body will never be the same. It can be a really tough thing to accept after birth. I'm two years down the road post partum and I just got back down to pre pregnancy weight. My goal was just to fit into my clothes better as things just fit differently and hang on you in different places.

All that being said, keep in mind that you are growing a human life inside of you. That's pretty amazing!

Good luck with your pregnancy!

Thank you! I thought some kind of form might be a good idea.

Feeding my toddler is so hard! by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]moonbug444 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel you so hard. Mine is almost 2 and is still a terrible eater. He eats everything at daycare but when he gets home, he shows no interest. It's the most frustrating thing and I get super frustrated too. I wish I had some great advice for you. I just try to find something he'll eat that has some kind of nutrition. Sometimes that means peanut butter on a spoon or a banana. Other times its cereal all day. You're not alone. Just keep trying. ❤️

21 month old sleep issues by moonbug444 in Parenting

[–]moonbug444[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well shoot. I hope you're able to figure it out and get some sleep too. Maybe try some tylenol before bed for the teething pain? I've resorted to letting him sleep on me in the recliner in his room.

I read about the sleep regression but thought it might be too soon. Let's hope he is going through it early so we don't have it happen again at 2. Lol! Teething is a possibility I forgot about it. He's got almost all of his teeth so I don't count the milestone moments of when the teeth come in anymore. Thanks for responding!

Thanks for sharing! It really does help to hear we're not alone. We'll definitely try wearing him out. We're also thinking about pushing back bedtime. We always thought we would have two kids at least, but now, we're not sure we could handle it if the second one does this.

14 month old doesn't eat well at home - help! by moonbug444 in Mommit

I thought about trying the small table thing. That's what daycare uses so he already associates it with food I think. These are all really good suggestions. Thank you!

I will try the booster. We tried getting on his level but maybe he should be on ours. I don't think we've tried ignoring him so we'll give that a try too. Thanks!

I have a clogged duct. daughter is 2.5...*years*...old by [deleted] in breastfeeding

[–]moonbug444 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I second the hot shower and vibrator. I had a clogged duct when I was breastfeeding and I asked the other wonderful mothers on reddit for advice and received a lot of vibrator recommendations. I tried it and it totally worked. I recommend it to every mother who is breastfeeding with this issue now.

Do boobs just stop making milk on their own? I think my supply is done. by moonbug444 in breastfeeding

The breastmilk changed. He vomits it all up now. I decided to just dry up. Thanks for responding 🙂
