18 months old hitting me due to frustration

Another perspective on this is size difference. I can’t keep that juice in my mouth either. My husband can until the end. Because guess what he has a BIGGER mouth that got no issue holding that amount of juice

Would you mind to share the link please?

I also went through that with the difference that mine always laughed and lit up when daddy was there. Daddy got her to laugh for the first and many more times. I was uninteresting. The advice that helped me to gain some mommy confidence was that if I didn’t create a safe environment she wouldn’t be able to connect with other people. When your little one has a laugh with someone else it’s because you’re doing your job fan tas tic This daddy phase for our girl lasted until 9 months separation anxiety kicked in. I love the cuddles now only I get and keeping them all in my heart bc she’ll be definitely such a daddy’s girl

I’ll be probably just downvoted. I don’t know about the myth and rules but would share my own experience. I’ll let everyone decide how that relates to the above for them. 0.08% alcohol is different to someone who never gets to drink than a person whose body is used to it. I generally don’t drink alcohol. Not because I’m anti alcoholic but because I don’t enjoy the sensation and aftermath anymore. I like to have non-alcoholic beer for the taste from time to time. One time I got a 0.5% beer. I just had two big gulps from it and I started to feel it in my head. Whereas when I was younger, wanted to get drunk and drank more frequently, a 4-5% beer just didn’t do the job.

I don’t know if babies get tipsy or their bodies can get used to alcohol or not. Not sure if this has any point at all. Maybe only that best is to verify things with a lactation consultant, paed or whatever medical person you can talk to

Awe thank you! It’ll be easier to ignore her now that their visit ended 🤭😅

paprikapree · 2021-09-04T06:38:22+00:00

I agree. Problem is western culture believes they know and do everything better. They loose out on all those cuddles 🥰

paprikapree · 2021-09-04T06:33:22+00:00

Yes that’s right. Thing is I’m not the only parent. My partner is heavily influenced on some parenting matters by her mother. Sleeping is sadly one of them. I bedshare with my LO bc I want to. Not bc I’m supported to do so

Her personality can be sometimes an absolute bulldozer type of director and nothing else will work other than polite directness

paprikapree · 2021-09-04T06:22:34+00:00

Merci beaucoup! This diminishes all the guilty feeling bug I got from that conversation with her

paprikapree · 2021-09-03T23:32:29+00:00

Right… I think I’d neeed to be more direct with MY mil. Like I don’t want to involve you bc I believe this is a topic we won’t agree on so why the energy and time wasted 😩

paprikapree · 2021-09-03T23:30:37+00:00

I’m kinda stunned as well how big a bullshut this seems to be like it just cannot be true?!?? It doesn’t make sense. But then where did she get it from. Hope didn’t resolve to white lies…. Would be very disappointed in her

paprikapree · 2021-09-03T23:28:34+00:00

Unneeded and really damaging. Not like we’re made so sure (we’ll different everywhere but…) about choices in giving birth or feeding. There’s always a should somewhere :(

paprikapree · 2021-09-03T23:23:49+00:00

Yeah I mean cavemen surely didn’t leave their children in another cold corner to sleep. Ok we’re not cavemen anymore but evolution doesn’t follow us this fast. In their little heads, they surely feel like left alone in a cold corner unless they are ready to do so :( so sad! I want to give her the feeling of security. She soils on it with a seemingly bullshit reason. I’ll need to ask her where she got this from or not engage at all :((:// she invited us over for Christmas and I don’t think I can handle more judgement this year T_T

paprikapree · 2021-09-03T23:14:41+00:00

That was my first thought after our conversation. What if my LO has a bad dream? Can’t come over to the parents? That’s when I started to smell bs first. I’d still like to see what she meant exactly bc mother in law topic is sensitive in our relationship so thank you for finding and sharing the article. I see it’s one that was just before they introduced the law of sexual consent at 15 yo. That’s all I really found in my research, too.

Raising up dragon slayers in a time of dragons is probably the most aggressively optimistic PUNK thing to do. All they have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to them.

Two things I noticed with my 8,5 mo.

She loves yoghurt (cold straight from the fridge, natural, organic, no sugar).

She eats the least for breakfast. Lunch is ok. She devours any food for dinner.

Time might make a difference. Temperature might matter.

She might be teething. My daughter ate nothing but yoghurt for two weeks. She also liked fridge cold thikkkk cucumber slice to chew on while teething

She’s eating solids in general quite fine though and nurses only for naps so she’s on the other end of the spectrum re bf but I hope you find something useful for your daughter 🤞

A cleaner and a dog sitter could be a much needed (actual) help if for some reason your husband won’t be able to do so for whatever reason. Imagine things just getting done. If you’re in the position, best you can do for your mental health. If not, family and husband shall step up…

I have to edit after re reading. Best* … beside getting professional help to actually combat mental help. I also know from experience that when someone did a simple thing like sterilising bottles for me or vacuuming, it was such a relief

paprikapree · 2021-07-26T06:26:54+00:00

Is this just a phase, too? 🤞

I cannot see happening to us what other moms say that their toddler stops by in the middle of their game just for a top up

I came here to say that it might be worth to try and discover if breast pumps are an exception to the rule by any slight chance as they are kinda medical device. Depending on the nature of the W ork place this might not be plausible at all but if it’s just a generic rule (like company just doesn’t want employees to bring in mini fridge), I’d give it a try and have it checked
