If you have rice and a pillowcase and a microwave, you can make a heat pack. Fill the pillow case with a heap of rice and knot it closed. Microwave it with a glass of water (as in, water in a glass) for 2 minutes, check the temp and microwave in minute increments until it's hot but not burning. Be careful as you may not realise how hot it is until it's been in place for a bit. Apply to stomach. Reheat as necessary. Should ease cramping and reduce nausea.

Farquar posted:My six year old is obsessed with The Tain by The Decemberists. An 18 minute epic that he demands whenever he gets to choose a song. That put The Decemberists in my top spot, and I certainly don't mind. Nice. Monolord is my top artist because Empress Rising was the 2yo's pick for naptime music for quite a while.

remigious posted:Yeah that seems strange. At my son’s daycare they spend like an hour outside each day, rain or shine. Maybe she just doesn’t want to be outside? Our 2yo gets a bit feral if he doesn't get outside for a bit each day. At daycare, he'll often hug me goodbye and run outside straight away and only come inside for food, nappies and a nap. We got my brother-in-law to send us full length waterproof suits when he was in Sweden (we're in Australia, so not really a thing here) so the goblins can explore the garden and get messy regardless of the weather.

No trampoline parks locally, but the gymnastic clubs all do birthday party bookings. Nothing like jumping into a giant foam pit. Or tossing your 2yo into one.

Kingtheninja posted:Started potty training today for our 2.5 year old. Felt like we'd prepped as best we could. Everything went fairly well (got him on the potty successfully a few times) but this kid absolutely will not go without pants, which makes it very hard to catch when he needs to go. Had a huge meltdown when we tried to take them away, so now we're just staring at his crotch waiting for the first sign of trouble. We started with our 2.5andabit two days ago. He's happy to go pants less or naked, which is good, but anything on his lower torso must feel too much like nappy, so a couple of pee accidents while trying shorts only. He's at daycare today trialling pants only with about 4 spares.

We flew Australia to Malaysia when our eldest was 10mths. We were fortunate that we got a cheap upgrade to business, so it was more spacious to hold a baby. She cried a little bit but the grumpy Asian business man who I thought might be pissed actually have me a smile like "yeah, been there." Flying airlines from countries that love kids is also helpful. Thai Air is especially good for this.

The go-to for nappy rash in Australia is Sudocrem which is zinc oxide. You can also use it as sunscreen if you're out playing a Test. I'm figuring Aquaphor is something similar?

Riven posted:I see babies and I think “what a chubby little baby” and then remember they’re probably in the middle of the range and my perspective is just skewed lol. I get the reverse of this. Our first three were all over 4kg (95 odd percentile) at birth, while the fourth was 'only' 3.3kg (50ish percentile), so she's the 'little' one. She also threw us by coming at 39 weeks, while the others were 41 and a couple days. My wife had only started maternity leave three days before, cos we thought we had two more weeks. I had to run out and buy little baby clothes because we didn't have anything small enough for her.

After about 4 when they can safely entertain themselves, they get easier. Our 2, nearly 3yo is the major headache, but he's slowly getting easier to deal with as he starts to talk more. The 9mo is likely to live as robustly as he does, but we won't have a baby to distract us from her, so she'll probably have an easier go of it.

Me miserable! Which way shall I fly Infinite wrath and infinite despair? Which way I fly is hell; myself am hell; And in the lowest deep a lower deep, Still threat'ning to devour me, opens wide, To which the hell I suffer seems a heaven. (The last bit of your post made me think of that. But seriously, a bit of sleep can make all the difference.)

<shouting out my window in Australia> Go the gently caress to sleep, baby! I was driving 5yo and 7yo to their first gymnastics class this arvo, listening to Prince. 7yo asks me what he means when he says "let's sweat together". Goddamn it, child. Must you pick up on the most awkward lyrics to explain?

I love how universal that story is. I'm slightly short sighted, so I can function without glasses, but it's much nicer being able to see things clearly beyond a few metres. I didn't get glasses until I was 26, probably with a similar cow catalyst. I remember looking at the stars for the first time with glasses and them not being little blurry smears.

Obviously your mileage will vary, but flying airlines from countries with more positive attitudes towards small children (Thailand is especially good for this, but had a good experience with Brunei Air) can also make things a bit easier. We went to Thailand/Malaysia at the start of last year with 6/4/2yos and my heavily pregnant wife. Our strategy was sitting behind the bulkheads, so noone there to be kicked.

Oodles posted:Just had parents evening with our 12 year old before she starts high school in the summer. That loving sucks. I hadn't realised there was a shortage of lisdex. I don't know where you are, but if it's anything like Australia, getting the diagnosis is a long process and even keeping in top of medication when in supply is tricky.

It's literally a supply issue. In Australia, we're reliant on the US manufacturing lisdexamphetamine, but the FDA(?) puts hard limits on its manufacture. I think in Europe those limits aren't there but Takeda, the company that manufactures it, doesn't seem to have anticipated demand. The problem is that the people currently prescribed it are having trouble obtaining it and each new prescription makes it that much harder. We have a patient at work (I'm a psych nurse) currently on both lisdex and dexys and their life is in a poo poo place already (ASD, ADHD, ID and nearly abandoned by their disability support provider). It's scary that it might easily get just that much shitter.

Our 7yo had a day trip to Melbourne this week and picked out a little talking Goofy in a tow truck you for her 3yo brother. He loves it and I'm not too fussed about noisy toys, but disappointingly it doesn't make the Goofy yelp. Why would you make a talking Goofy toy and not include the yelp? It barely makes the hyuck laugh, either.
