Lots of frustration and losing my cool for certain. Definitely not some of my best parenting moments. I know at one point we would make her dump the poop in the toilet and have her flush it herself and wipe herself. I want to say that maybe after a week or so of that she got better at not going in her pants and gradually got better after that.
Trending in the right direction as of now. He's so pumped I think that I think that either way we'll still have the party. It's 2 hours of fun and then he can crash out the rest of the day, haha
Do you have a portable training potty that you can put anywhere in the house? We used these with both my kids when we were potty training and it helped a ton. We would have them sit on it while watching TV or something just to get them used to sitting on the toilet and then eventually they'd start using it and then we'd slowly take them away and let them know they have to use the normal toilet now. Also, when you say diaper, do you mean pull-ups? If you are in training, she should be wearing underwear during the day and pull-ups at night so it's easy for her to take off and pull back on. And so she realizes there is a difference between diaper and underwear/pull-ups because up until now, she has only ever known to pee/poop in a diaper, so if she's wearing a diaper at night, that may automatically trigger her to think in her old ways.
Daycare closed so had the day with I-man - asked him what he wanted to do and he said ice cream lol who cares if it’s 22 degrees
Every time my daughter gets a cold, she ends up coughing herself into throwing up. At first we were worried it was a stomach flu on top of the cold but it happens so consistently that it must just be because of the cold. Anybody deal with this? Does it ever stop?
My 2.5 son does that, yes. With him, I'm pretty sure it's because he doesn't know how to blow his nose so the phlegm and snot get trapped in his throat and the coughs dislodge it into throwing up. He usually feels much better after
One thing you can do, if you aren't too quesy about it, is take a look and smell at the throw up. Phlegm will be more clear and won't really smell. Throw up from sickness where the stomach is emptied is usually thicker and super stinky
Mine does this so I took her to the doctors about it and he said it's just because their throats are so delicate when they're small it can easily trigger their gag reflex. There doesn't seem to be much you can do about it other than wait for them to grow out of it. Its the worst though.
My son will be 4 in April (when my daughter is due) and he seems to be shaking the threenager shit finally
Yeah thankfully as they creep closer to 4 it gets slightly better. my 9 year old and 6 year old attitudes though are definitely something
Just need to vent because my wife and I are pretty frustrated with our doctor's visit yesterday. For context, she is technically due February 24th, but because she's a type-one diabetic, we were told they would schedule us before 38 weeks to avoid the dangers of a spontaneous birth. This past Monday, the doctor she's been seeing sent her to the hospital because she was showing symptoms of her placenta breaking down, which would mean the baby would be coming that day. Wound up being a false alarm, but the doctor that saw us at the hospital (from the same practice) told us the end was near and that we would schedule something this week because he would be shocked if we made it until February 3rd. She started her leave accordingly and everyone is expecting today to be my last day at work. At her appointment yesterday, we saw yet another doctor who told us things look so good that he doesn't want to schedule anything until next Thursday, and that it would likely be for the week following. She isn't even scheduled to see a provider on Thursday! On top of that, there seems to be discrepancies in opinion about the size of the baby and method of delivery. He is large (no doubt about it) and she is concerned about hypoxia, so if there's a decent chance that he'll be c-section anyways, she would prefer to just schedule one off the bat. That was kind of the plan until the doctor we saw yesterday urged us to try vaginally first. We're just getting mixed messaging from different doctors and it's slightly concerning considering she is a high(er)-risk pregnancy and we would be happy to do whatever is best for the baby if we could just get a straight answer. End rant!
