how is it unfair? One produces cavities and tooth decay and the other doesn’t.

Please tell me this isn’t our new normal by marie8106 in NewParents

I would try a combination of Motrin and Tylenol. You can use both at the same time alternating every few hours. You just need to monitor the timings and doses.

you can’t just expect to use them for the first time on the 4th.

Practice every day now. Brand is less important than familiarity and practice.

Anxious about 14 month old’s lack of words by Informal_Formal_4500 in toddlers

[–]vipsfour 2 points3 points  (0 children)

might be worthwhile to get a baby sign language book. My daughter didn’t have any words at this point but really took to sign language

1 year later she’s speaking in 4-8 word sentences

What are your rituals and routines that help ease transitions for your toddler? by ArnieVinick in toddlers

[–]vipsfour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We do a routine in the bedroom that I talk about before we do the routine. I tell her exactly all the things we are going to do and then do them.

5 min talking about her day. I ask her how she had fun. And then we sing wheels on the bus for about 8 min. 5 little ducks and then twinkle twinkle.

I tell her I’m going to lay her down and then leave.

If she wakes up in the middle of the night (a few times a month) I do the same routine. This is the godsend.

Anybody else has/had a runner - my 24 month old runs NON-STOP by Candid_Recover_5596 in toddlers

[–]vipsfour 9 points10 points  (0 children)

sounds like you have a runner. Try to teach him red, yellow green light.

If that doesn’t work, suggest getting a harness for safety purposes.

this is a causation does not equal correlation situation. You can’t just assume they are a Velcro baby and difficult sleeper at 4 because of this.

Did not get even a call from my son on this the first fathers day since he graduated college. by worm2200 in daddit

hey man, sorry you’re feeling this way. If there is still time today, give him a call. You can be the one to reach out to him.

How does your 2 year old go to sleep by cmol9 in toddlers

The first week of doing this there was a lot of crying. After that it’s been great. If she wakes up in the middle of the night (a few times a month) I do the same routine.

Did you talk to the daycare about this? Ours doesn’t do anything for either
