I don’t know if it’s much help but we bought a light that removes blue light so in the middle of the night when we had to feed the baby it didn’t disorient us Nite-Nite Light Bulb.

A Switch + games that can be played in short chunks was a godsend during the first few months for me. I did so much grinding on Hyrule Warriors. Also dunno what books you read, but pretty much all the ones I looked at varied from "only use a pacifier in absolute emergencies" to "never use a pacifier just deal with it," both claiming that giving an infant a pacifier will lead to them still needing one even when they start attending preschool. At least for us this was bullshit, we gave her a pacifier whenever she was otherwise inconsolable for the first few months and were able to wean her off relatively painlessly when she was a bit older; now at six months she only wants it when she's being put down for a nap. e: All this is to say, do whatever you need to do to find reprieve from your screaming child. It's better for them and helps you be a better, calmer parent.

I used the jolly pop ones and yeah I think at about 4-6 months ours just weaned off it. what I’m having to deal with now was when my kids infant daycare teacher ,who she was attached to ,changed her schedule quite a bit and her coping mechanism was thumb sucking and now at 4 yr I can’t seem to break. thankfully due to covid precautions she washes her hands a lot but I’m trying to break that habit .

My three year old spent yesterday randomly crying. When asked she kept saying she was upset at the sun (in the morning it was too bright then it was going away later). Parenting is so much fun

I did so much grinding on Hyrule Warriors. bottles and pacifiers are both bad for kids and lead to massive trauamtic issues down the line. i claim this, not because i believe it to be true, but because all three of my kids completely refused bottles and pacifiers despite months of effort and i am incredibly jealous of parents whose kids actually took them

when my kids were babies, the WiiU was A Thing so when my youngest was born (2014), she'd sleep on me during the night and I'd get to get some console gaming in without waking her. also thank god for the 3DS.

haha that reminds me, i said before that my first child barely slept. this was true of car rides too. we would drive from seattle to portland to visit family (~3-5 hr trip, depending on traffic), and my daughter would cry for so much of the trip. and if we were ever lucky enough for her to fall asleep, slowing down for traffic at tacoma, olympia, etc. would wake her right up. it was maddening, until we discovered that if we played a certain song at almost full blast, she would stop crying, calm down, and fall asleep after about 10-15 minutes of listening. this is that song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epFrre9ujRM

I'd put on the soundtrack of the first and dance with my girls to get them to begin liking it Louisgod has issued a correction as of 17:58 on Jan 25, 2021 |

re: bad words, it owns living in a country where the language we speak at home (English) is different than the language they speak at my daughters kindergarten. we don't know how to swear in the native language, and if my daughter drops a 'gently caress' or a 'poo poo' at school i'm not going to hear about it from her teachers because they could care less. but she seems to have a pretty good handle on the purpose of swear words and who should use them and when, so honestly we probably wouldn't have a problem even if we were at home. we've just never made it a taboo.

 If you use a pacifier, I highly recommend this kind. Not only is it cute as hell but it's hard to lose, it balances on the baby's belly so if they spit it out it doesn't fall, and it's a soft, comforting weight for them.

I'm cutting our troop a $50 check ($25 from each kid) instead so they can put it toward future stuff. their troop gets like what, $1 a box in profit to put toward trips and whatnot anyway right?

My girls did this when they were younger too (4, 5ish), had a raccoon attack a few years back on our chickens and we had to bury one, and my oldest wanted to come back a month later to dig it up to get its skeleton. kids are cool.
