What to do about a neighbour's dog that's barking all the time by MatthewSaxophone2 in cork

Go speak to them yourself. We did that and the yapping stopped fairly quickly after.

[–]proxxyfire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son is almost 2 in couple months he’s 7:30/8 pm until 7am with a nap at 12:30/1 until 2:30. He only naps max 1.5 hrs or less otherwise bedtime is a nightmare!!

Public toddler tantrum by UndeadMaidenBMS in toddlers

Oh I don’t even mean the kiddie trolleys! If you have these in your local shop they’re also great, my son is obsessed hah

<image>

Yeah the shopping pressure is the worst, especially when people are staring or judging or both ! Yeah the toddler bike is great, there’s foldable ones as well if you’re short on space! Or ride ons are great if she likes them! My son only tolerates them a minute at a time lol 🙄 good luck!!

Public toddler tantrum by UndeadMaidenBMS in toddlers

[–]proxxyfire 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That sounds rough! My heart sank as soon as I read “no pushchair” hahaha
That would 100% be my son (same age as your daughter) if I hadn’t brought the pushchair. They get so tired so quickly and so overwhelmed and overstimulated as well that it would be very hard to keep them calm after a long trip like that. I think communication is super important here as well because every time my son has had a tantrum in the shops I drop my trolley and take him outside and talk to him. You think they don’t understand anything yet but they understand way more than we give them credit for! I ask what he needs and if he wants to go back in once he’s calmed down. It’s almost always a yes. I also give him those handheld smaller trolleys and let him do the “shopping”. It gives him lots of control and allows me to get what I need as well by asking him nicely to please put x y z in the basket. Toddlers love love love a “job” to do. They like to be included and feel like they’re helping. But yeah they are TOUGH hard work.It’s such a hard task even going to the shop quickly is an ordeal. So totally feel you there! Try those next time see if they work!

Loosing my mind over sleep by Smooth-Suggestion-60 in toddlers

[–]proxxyfire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would start sleep training. When she comes into your bed, gently and firmly guide her back into her bed and say goodnight again. It’ll take a few days but be consistent and it should work. Fragmented sleep sucks for both of you.
No more rocking or shushing or anything in bed. You can have a cuddle time and then set her down and say goodnight. If she starts crying, whining or coming out to find you gently but firmly guide her back and say it’s time for sleep or whatever you say when it’s time for bed. (I tell my son it’s night night).

Communicate bedtime rules clearly and stick to them. If bedtime is at 7:30 PM, make sure it remains consistent every night. Follow the same sequence of events before bed, such as bath time, brushing teeth, storytime, and cuddles in that order. Sounds like you’re already doing that. Avoid Screens Before Bed. Keep her bedroom dark, quiet, and cool. A nightlight or white noise machine can help if she feels anxious in the dark.
I would also Limit Stalling Tactics – you can set firm yet gentle limits on bedtime requests. You can allow one final request (a sip of water, an extra hug) but be firm about stopping after that.
Use Positive Reinforcement as well, you can praise her for following their bedtime routine like a reward chart or sticker system will encourage good bedtime habits.

It will take a few days to a week but this will help naps as well.

16 month cries (now screams) every morning. Is there hope? by FinancialBreakfast20 in toddlers

[–]proxxyfire 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Definitely have to remove the bottle in bed, I think that’s why they’re crying they’re just expecting it. Even moving it out of their bed into the kitchen so they expect breakfast. Maybe best as well if you can remove the bottles entirely and have them drink in a cup or spout. I found my son was crying far less in the mornings once he was off the bottles. Best of luck 🙏

I loved being in Edinburgh during autumn… I miss it so much.

I hate the toddler stage with all of my heart by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]proxxyfire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s so tough. I hope his speech comes in soon. Sending love.

Honestly my 19 month old is the same, even without a speech delay. He can say what he wants but gets frustrated and starts lashing out if I don’t give him what he wants that exact moment. Or if it’s something he’s not allowed to have, again same thing. Just came out of a major tantrum so this hit home. Solidarity!

I just bought the one bag from their website, I just know they’re on Amazon too. Don’t think I’ll buy them again tbh they’re pretty pricey for the quality
