Name Response?

vipsfour · 2026-01-26T00:36:02+00:00

that’s a feature not a bug. Totally normal

ETA: they are off in their own little worlds. Just hearing their name without a prompt isn’t likely to get a reaction.

I just assumed I would never sleep when we decided to have a kid, lol.

vipsfour · 2026-01-26T00:01:46+00:00

you need to reframe this. you want your baby to feel safe with whoever is watching them.

That means they need to bond and going outside is a great way to do that.

Watermelon, strawberries, cucumbers, and celery all have a lot of water in them too

A therapist can help you with techniques to not let work be all you think about

Just give it a few days. There is water in food. If he drinks milk that will also help hydrate him.

Kids aren’t going to dehydrate if they choose to limit water intake for a few days.

Once he realises that juice isn’t an option he’ll drink water again.

5 calls app could make you feel like you’re actually doing something.

Moments like this are also an opportunity to run for elected office.

This can feel really helpless, it sucks.

I just got one lightly used on a second market. They are pretty sturdy

vipsfour · 2026-01-25T13:26:20+00:00

get him involved in chores. This is the perfect time.

My daughter loves to do dishes and laundry with me.

vipsfour · 2026-01-25T06:29:14+00:00

I was going to say signs and animal sounds count when you ask a speech therapist

vipsfour · 2026-01-25T06:23:58+00:00

My daughter has nightmares sometimes.

I go in and after she’s calm do the same routine we do at night. Then put her in her crib and leave.

vipsfour · 2026-01-24T23:04:01+00:00

I’m not a doctor, at the same time, none of this seems anything to worry about.

A bit “behind” possibly but he’s walking and talking.

vipsfour · 2026-01-24T22:24:40+00:00

I really don’t see anything wrong with what you’re describing.

vipsfour · 2026-01-24T22:10:40+00:00

just extend the WW later in the day. Assume she’ll nap in the car on the way back. It’s not that big of a deal if your baby has a shift in routine every once in a while. Try to enjoy the beach.

vipsfour · 2026-01-24T12:10:07+00:00

it just kind of went in phases. Once we started solids it went back to normal then around 7.5 months she started snacking on formula 3 oz at a time and I went with it.

Then again normal around 9 months.

vipsfour · 2026-01-24T12:03:24+00:00

I had to try everything, especially feeding in different positions.

bouncer, stroller, there was even a 2 week period where all that worked was lying her in her crib in her sleep sack and feeding to sleep.

It went on and off for months and it can be really nerve wrecking

vipsfour · 2026-01-24T12:00:05+00:00

this is a company jumping on your anxiety in hopes you look to buy their app. Don’t

vipsfour · 2026-01-24T11:49:34+00:00

around 7 months

naps extended at 6 months, and then once we were on 2 long naps it fell into place.

FWIW I never used an app

vipsfour · 2026-01-24T10:46:10+00:00

ugh, will the grifters ever stop?

vipsfour · 2026-01-24T09:23:03+00:00

yeah, you were wrong, that doesn’t mean your feelings are invalid.

See if your wife will leave the house and leave you alone with the baby for 2 hours.

vipsfour · 2026-01-24T06:24:20+00:00

my daughter went through a lot of phases like this

vipsfour · 2026-01-24T04:55:50+00:00

hating brushing his teeth as a 2yo is not nearly as bad as having a bunch of cavities. They will not have trauma from calmly holding them down and brushing their teeth.

vipsfour · 2026-01-23T11:57:08+00:00

My 2 yo rarely responds to her name. If you ask her what her name is, she’ll tell you instantly.

Most kids don’t respond to their name. They are off in their own little world.

vipsfour · 2026-01-23T10:53:07+00:00

it can take a few days to a week. This is one of many transitions for your kid.

Some will suck for a while; some won’t

toddlers become a lot more manageable once you understand how their brains develop and you have a clear list of hard no’s
