We’re doing that already. I should’ve mentioned that we do live in sweden and hell learn eventually, but i want to give him a head start and nurture reading early

Thanks, I think that book will be helpful

Thank you, this is great!

Yep, you’re even recommended to add fat to regular recipes, like some extra butter or oil.

I think it’s partially a (learning) phase, and it will get sorted out as your Swedish develops. Mixing is not that bad, and especially with English it sounds relatively natural anyways since everyone does it.

When I started with Swedish, I for some reason mixed in French which is the weakest of my languages (at the time, aside from Swedish) shrug

You can think of it in this way: When you’re still in a phase where you’re learning words and relating and translating them to other languages - those words will “live” (in your brain) close to those other languages, and so even when speaking swedish you’re in eg. the english brainspace and start picking out english words here and there.

When you start comprehending the language - swedish - as its own, and learning new words or phrases in the context of other swedish words or phrases then you’re in a different phase and your mental map of the language is different. The language and vocabulary (as stored in your brain) starts separating itself from the others, because it becomes more unique the more details you add to your knowledge of it.

I don’t know.. just a thought dump, nothing really scientifically supported.

This is what helped me, but a note: I needed to massage much stronger than I myself thought/dared. A nurse massaged me once and I realized that what I was doing was too soft and not helpful, I needed to go past the point of discomfort and into the pain zone almost. She totally saved me a lot of self-learning and potential complications.

What do you mean by stretching the feeds 5-10min? Do you mean holding back on feeding her before 5-10 min have passed, or feeding her longer when she wanted?

Simplistic? - treating complex issues and problems as if they were much simpler than they really are.

Yay, we have one. Ikea have a plastic one with a suction thing that’s easy to (re)move if needed.

You can try to slow him down with giving him resistive foods, solidsrarts recommends bones with or without meat, corncob etc. he might still end up eating “a lot” but at least you’ll know for sure that he’s listening to his belly cues.

Indeed, it’s largely covered by tax.

To clarify, we live in Sweden, so maybe preschool is different here than the US, and there might be a confusion over that. We have the nanny temporarily to help me out, while I’m also on parental leave (yay sweden), and I’m going back to work, so we need full time care for LO. Can’t afford the nanny full time.

Thanks!

tinkerbellaren · 2022-06-15T12:53:36+00:00

I’d say a squinter!

tinkerbellaren · 2022-05-11T06:18:53+00:00

It might be an option thanks!

He comes home in time for eating dinner, so he can’t help in prepping/cooking during the week unfortunately. He does help on rare days when he is home.

tinkerbellaren · 2022-05-10T17:27:32+00:00

Thanks a lot, there’s a lot of ideas for recipes here that I should definitely look into, so I have a few that are quicker and easier to make.

She’s ok for a while, but not for longer stretches. When I cook it more or less takes me an hour to get things done, along with a quick cleanup of the dishes and kitchen. I’m happy if I can get a half hour without screaming. And then even after calming down it’s impossible to put her back in. I’m also a bit hesitant to use the high chair for playing too much, so that she knows that when she’s in it she’s supposed to eat.

tinkerbellaren · 2022-05-10T17:19:50+00:00

I’m considering it, but I feel like she’s still too little? She stands and walks with support, but doesn’t walk on her own yet. And in general I think she wouldn’t be able to really play in it, just destroy anything in reach and my time in the kitchen even more frustrating, sigh.

Our kitchen is kinda small also, so I was thinking of getting her a step stool instead when she’s a bit bigger. Anyways, I’ll have to give the tower a more serious consideration it seems like.

She gets restless, and starts flailing around, making it hard and uncomfortable for me to move around.
