How long have your 2 year olds gone without pooping? My daughter is currently on some weird poop strike and has not gone in like 2 and a half days. Not potty trained yet and every time she says poopoo she gets distracted by something and holds it to go play. Kind of impressive, but just poop already.

My son has gone 3-4 days without pooping, and he’s usually every other day. I’d just offer a lot of water throughout the day if you aren’t already.

My kid has been withholding for about a year and a half. The longest he's gone was about a week. You can offer half a cap of mirilax once a day to help loosen it up if it becomes a chronic problem.

1) it sucks that something is working through the family that officially has me as the “most sick”. I’ve always been the one with a 8 hr headache and then gone, as my wife and toddler went through days of agony. Stuck in sweats and the child’s, but at least COVID neg so far :/ 2) Any suggestions on getting a recent 3 y/o to not bust out “you gently caress” when he is mad at someone? He picked it up from a same-aged cousin about 3 months ago. My in-laws were able to get the cousin to stop saying it (probably with disciplinary measures); however, with my son we’ve tried ignoring it, guiding him to use different words, giving him ultimatums - and he still just whips it out, almost subconsciously, for even pretty low stakes situations. Example: Us: “hey buddy you need to stop playing to go peepee in the potty” Him: “no I don’t want to” Us: “Just a quick peepee, so you don’t have an accident, and then you can go back to playing” Him: “no, you gently caress. I don’t want to stop playing” Us:

My six year old had perfect conduct last year at school, green dots every single day. Now, 2 weeks into first grade, she tries to refuse getting out of the car every morning, refuses to go her seat, and just becomes psychopathically defiant at home when punished or having privileges revoked. What the gently caress is happening

It's like it was tailor-made to piss me off. Wailing, crying (with no tears), and then instantly pretending to be asleep and snoring, like the whole thing is an elaborate comedy piece. God help me I'm seeing my own mother come out of me and I don't need or want that

The baby started eating solid a month ago. One of the parents made the mistake of launching the stinkiest (cloth) diaper so far onto the grass of the back garden so that the second parent could jet-wash it, but it landed on a hard surface instead. Both parents now are experts in physics of explosive poop landing. How do you deal with removing solids from reusable diapers? (cross-posting the r/relationship hall of fame post on poop knives is probably not the favored option)

I don’t have one of those and used compostable bamboo liners in each nappy. Remove liner, drop as much deuce in the loo as possible, then bin the liner.

We were at the parent's night for our new pre-school. As we're waiting to start a couple walks in and my wife's eyes get huge because one of the dads from Teen Mom, according to her not on the show anymore, has their kid in our class.

It's going to be very interesting, I did laugh at her as she was explaining it. Apparently this is his second kid with a different woman so nothing should be on filmed.

This is an appropriate for child-centric product recs right? Staying at my parents' place later this month and looking for advice on a travel high chair for a six-month old. We have the regular Lalo high chair and we like it so far, I know they sell one that you can fasten to a normal human chair but my wife is interested in one that clips to the end of a table or countertop (which seems super unstable?).

Trip report from the first night of sleep training: Grumbling then big crying for 5 minutes, went to check and he calmed a bit. Seven minutes later he fell asleep for 3 hours, then proceeded to put himself to sleep the rest of the night after feeds?! I really can't imagine it will be that easy again tonight but I am glad we know that he does have that skill now!

I was surprised when I started timing it on my phone, they seem to either a) cry for 3-6 minutes, then just pass out. That 3-6 minutes feels like forever though; or b) they're really mad you put them to bed and will cry as long as you let them. Haven't figured out what/how the difference is but there's no middle ground there. Asking over and over "is it bye-bye time? is it nappy nappy time?" for 3-5 min before actually taking her to bed seems to quasi-hypnotise her, do final diaper change with the lights low, drop her in bed with a bottle of milk, turn on the quiet sleep music at low-low volume, always in the same order, and she's usually out like a light by the time i get to the nursery door Mrs. Hadlock on the other hand, will rock her to sleep in the chair in the corner, then pick her up (waking her up in the process) and then put her in the crib which causes her to cry herself to sleep. This has been "her method" since birth so whatever, that's her thing I guess, not gonna fight her on it, even though having a consistent bedtime routine with both parents seems like a not terrible idea.

If you do get a table-mounted one, check the maximum wight limit carefully and set a calendar reminder to re-check it every month... I'm kidding, I have never used one, and I never would. They all look flimsy as hell, and depends on the parent mounting it correctly every time which I wouldn't trust myself or my wife to do consistently. My friend got a "straps into a regular chair" travel thingie that is more like a baby carrier, and it worked fine but his kid is more like 9 months by now.

We had friends visit with one for their 20 month old and it wouldn't attach to our dining room table (there's a lip too close to the edge) or one at a restaurant (glass tabletop or inlaid ceramic tile). There's was the screw-from-the-bottom type. It was super compact, which was nice. We've got a folding one from Fisher Price https://a.co/d/6TaUJ5T, and it works great. Adjustable height, removable tray with cover, reasonably lightweight. It's bulky though. sharkytm fucked around with this message at 13:42 on Sep 2, 2022 |

Having used both, I like the ones that strap to a chair. We have one that compacts in on itself to like a shoebox and a half and can be set up in 2 minutes. Also, the mechanics of eating on a tray built for the seat, as opposed to awkwardly spaced away from a table make things a lot easier in a number of ways.

Since today's the last day of summer camp at daycare, they hired a DJ and they're having a dance party on the playground. Watching a bunch of 3 year olds trying and failing to do the cha cha slide is the funniest poo poo and I love it.

Little kid sleep is weird as hell. My 3 year old is managing to stay asleep for her nap while construction workers manually hammer nails into the roof like one room away. Hasn’t even stirred.

We have the worst upstairs neighbor imaginable, like house rattling bass and TV at all hours, slams door constantly, stomps around and screams and all and my husband has had a major fight with him before about him waking the baby or keeping the baby from sleep but truth be told I think it bothers us far far more than it has ever bothered her.

any tips for helping a non-verbal toddler deal with covid? i ended up bringing it home a few days ago and despite our best efforts to isolate, our little guy got infected. right now we are making sure he gets fluids and liquid ibuprofen to keep his fever from getting too high. just wondering if there is more i can do  its just really tough because he can't tell us how he's feeling, we just have to watch his body language and take our best guess. even between my wife and i, our symptoms were different so i'm not entirely sure what to expect in a little guy. it's his first time ever being sick too (not counting the effects of the vaccines) since he was born right before everything went into lockdown mode.

Not sure if bananas help with illness but it calmed him down
