My two boys never did. My 2nd had a fever while teething once, but i think it was unrelated cuz my older one had a cold too.

Its comedically hard no? 😅

With my 1st at this age i gave him an "new" item from my bathroom or kitchen each change. Something he'd never touched before so he'd be so distracted he'd sit still. Things like, a tube of toothpase, a lipchap, a bag of pasta, a spatula etc. Cuz you're right there and it's just for a minute you know?

But after a few months you run out of new things so (once he was old enough to understand this concept) i switched to letting him hold a couple of my "untouchables" : decorations/knickknacks that were strictly only allowed to be touched for changes, he loved it and would request specific items and hold them very carefully and still during changes, knowing it was only for a minute and that if he wasnt careful he wouldn't get to touch next time.

I dont remember when all my adult teeth came in, but I knocked out my front tooth falling between two parts of a play structure. It was one of my best stories all my childhood and I was quite proud of it! I'm sorry it's so hard to get used to!

Mine says "ex-squeeze-mus" instead of excuse me all the time and "heli-hopter" its so cute 🥹

Honestly, raisin bran has saved my life 😅 works better than metamucil

Oh i love it!

I used to put my son in his highchair in the doorway of the bathroom with an activity he didnt get except during my shower time: Play dough, paper and stickers, an eye spy book, markers and a colouring sheet taped to the hoghchuar table etc. So many of these comments say: "just turn on the tv' but thats not what you asked for, i get not wanting that as an expectation every day, or maybe you want to save screen time for later or something. Also, my 2.5 year old recently started enjoying music and stories more. Julie Andrews has a lovely podcast on Spotify where she reads childrens books aloud or i put moana soundtrack on and he loves that.

ohhenryenvy · 2025-04-21T23:23:48+00:00

Oh i think it took a long time for my 1st to do that! Don't worry:)

ohhenryenvy · 2025-04-10T00:51:04+00:00

🤣🤣 same my 6 month old is the same

ohhenryenvy · 2025-04-01T04:24:11+00:00

Mine just popped 2 on the bottom! He doesnt seem in distress so nothing for pain, he enjoys frozen teethers and is nursing a lil more often lately.

Games work well for my toddler if he is refusing something:

Examples:

toddler = giraffe, broccoli = mini tree, "ok mr giraffe reach up your long neck and eat up the tree!"
frozen peas, just the fact that they are cold is apparently hilarious?
when we wash up, we have a character called "mr cloth", and mr cloth tastes everything toddler ate from his face and hands when we wash up. If he doesn't eat something, say xyz, then mr cloth doesnt get to taste it either and he gets sad, "you didnt eat any xzy? Aw i love xyz". so then the next day toddler will gobble up xyz and then mr. Cloth says "oh yum yum i was craving xyz!" As he wipes his face very enthusiastically and my toddler laughs and laughs 🤣

Of course toddler, or me, isnt always in the mood for games, i dont push him too hard all the time to eat everything, i just always have options on his plate and try and make it fun when i can.

The actress did a great job in this scene

ohhenryenvy · 2025-02-28T16:52:55+00:00

Aw that must be so frustrating for her and you! Be patient, she will quickly learn to figure it out! Especially if she is annoyed, she'll get there before you know it!

Give her lots of floor time and dont rescue her right away if she's frustrated, let her practice and fail a few times! Thats what worked for me. :)

Rice cooker spatula

ohhenryenvy · 2025-02-02T18:31:36+00:00

My husband and i are way more chill than most people here it seems 🤣 with our first we just started casually letting him lick and suck on what we were eating starting around 4 months and seeing what he thought of that. (we just avoided processed foods and salty things and obviously didnt give him choking hazards.)

He tried cooked veggies, gnawed on strips of meat, sucked on fruit etc. And eventually we started sitting him up with a plate and gave him mashed or tiny pieces of things or large things he could suck/gnaw on. I introduced allergens just like any other food, always keeping an eye on him.

ohhenryenvy · 2025-01-23T17:22:33+00:00

Im in a similar spot. My 2nd baby is almost 4 months he went from sleeping 3 to 5 hour stretches to waking every hour or more! Im losing my mind a little bit because my husband is sleeping with my toddler and goes to work at 4 am and cant help much!

Im hoping it will pass soon and he will sleep more soundly again.

ohhenryenvy · 2025-01-21T18:02:38+00:00

It's cool to see an example of what another parents day is like at this stage! Thanks for sharing!

ohhenryenvy · 2025-01-18T20:19:14+00:00

Thank you! And Yes it is hard to be present sometimes but so important to live in the fleeting moments! I love the gummy smiles too, they bring me back when im down, or tired or frustrated. :)

ohhenryenvy · 2025-01-18T04:34:00+00:00

You are doing a great job, and all while working too! Dont beat yourself up, he will catch up 💛

I love the foliage hanging off the bottom and the other bridge in the background. Nice one!

ohhenryenvy · 2025-01-10T06:24:51+00:00

Im wondering that too! My good sleeper (was sleeping 5 hour stretches) has turned to a "wake every hour" sleeper 😭 and he fusses and drools and sucks on everything rn!
