space uncle posted:I don’t know what happened but my two month old baby hates it when I feed him now. Not sure if it’s nipple confusion or preferring breast milk over formula or what but I feel like a massive failure. Just handed him off to Mom after he had a complete meltdown over an ounce of formula and it sounds like she got him to drink it no problem. What the gently caress. We had a similar thing happen around the same time. We tried several different formulas and even exclusively breastfeeding over the course of about a month. In the end we settled on the exact same formula we started with. Our conclusion was babies are weird sometimes so don't over think it unless they start dropping weight

You can either cut them while trimming their nails or they can cut their face the with their own talons. Either way there will be blood. Our kid looked like he had been in a knife fight for a few days when we accidentally let his nails get too long

A night nurse can also be an option if you've got the financial means for one. We had someone come in one or two nights a week for the first couple months and it was really nice to have a break from the shifts and sleep in the same bed again. They also gave us some advice that really helped us get to a point where he mostly is sleeping through the night a lot quicker than he would have been if we were on our own. It wasn't cheap (one night was almost as much as a week of daycare), but it was worth it. It's also less than ideal during a pandemic, we dodged the bullet when our night nurse ended up with covid.

Late to flight chat, but we just did our first flight with our 16 month old a few weeks ago. If you plan to use a rear facing car seat make sure you look up how much room there is in the airplane seat, especially front to back, sometimes a car seat just physically will not fit in the seat (especially on budget airlines). The airline will say you can use a rear facing car seat as long as it fits but oh, by the way, no car seat being manufactured actually fits. My recent experience with Spirit was that we booked the big seats at the front of the plane to make sure the car seat would fit, then a couple days before the flight we called Spirit to double check something and the customer service rep informed us that we could not use a car seat OR hold our son in our seats because they had inflatable airbags built into the seatbelts and the car seat wouldn't fit in any of the other seats on the plane. We spent 24 hours freaking out trying to figure out what we were going to do, finally decided to just downgrade our seats to the crappy cramped seats and hold our son the entire flight, but on the call to do that a different customer service rep told us it was fine, those seats didn't have the airbag thing and that the website won't let you book them for a car seat if you can't use them. We went to the airport ready for anything, but the second customer service rep was correct and it was fine. Our son didn't want to stay in his car seat and ended up in my wife's lap for most of the flight, but outside of maybe 5 minutes of crying he was pretty well behaved. We did an evening flight with the hopes that he would sleep but he was wide awake until we got to the hotel 4 hours after his bed time.

Daycare has been a huge net positive for our 18 month old. He's been going since he was 3 months old and there's just a lot of stuff he gets to do and learn that he otherwise wouldn't be learning. We both work full time, and while we both love him more than anything being a full time stay at home parent is just not something either of us is built for. He gets the attention and socialization that he needs and learns things we would never have taught him on our own like baby sign language and we have time to mentally recharge so we can give him more focused attention when he's home. It'll probably be tougher for a 3 year old starting out, but school is coming either way and it doesn't seem like it'll get any easier if you wait.

Today, completely unprovoked, our 2 year old told us he wanted to peepee in the bathroom. We had a training seat that we got as a gift for his 1st birthday that we never bothered putting together, so I got it out, put it together, and he did in fact go peepee in the bathroom. I guess we're potty training now

Crescent Wrench posted:How afraid should I be of HFM? The baby is 10 months old, and it's been going around daycare. He's showing no signs, but my wife wants to get coverage to keep him home this week to give it time to blow over. We have some good home care benefits, so that's not a problem, although I'm not keen on the disruption to my work schedule and him missing more time in the program. But if it's a trade-off to protect our health... Our son had HFM, he had a bunch of spots but was otherwise normal. My wife and I also got HFM and we were loving miserable. That being said, if you keep your kid out of daycare every time there's some weird kid disease going around you may as well just get a nanny because they are going to be sick constantly for the next few years

My 2.5 year old has seen every episode of King of the Hill. He loved it. Now that he's old enough to understand things he mostly sticks to Bear in the Big Blue House which is pretty good tbh. We throw in Sesame Street, Bluey, and Daniel Tiger every now and then, but he loves Bear. He gets to watch an episode or two before bed on weekdays and more on weekends depending on which daycare bug we're dealing with at the time, but he gets bored with it pretty quick anyway

Not sure if I'm being unreasonable here and should just give up or is this ok to ask for. I think that's a reasonable age to introduce "please". Meltdowns aren't necessarily a reason to stop doing something, they're the cost of doing business when you're teaching a kid to do something they don't want to do. Sometimes it's worth it, sometimes it isn't.

Hadlock posted:2) FAA certified seats will fit on any commercial jet Check with your airline on this. Airlines regulated by the FAA are required to accommodate you with a different seat in the same class if you have a ticket and an FAA certified car seat, but if the airplane doesn't have any seats (in your class) the car seat will fit in you are going to be out of luck. Airlines like Spirit have tiny rear end seats that are hard to get a car seat in. But if you're not on an airline based in the US they don't have to follow FAA guidelines and there's a decent chance a flight to Taipei is on a carrier that falls under a different countries regulations

My wife did some scissor cuts when our 2.75 year old son was younger, it was a big ordeal keeping him occupied the whole time, but now I just take clippers on the longest setting and do the haircut in about 5 minutes. We prefer the mop top look for him, but his hair is really straight so it ends up in his eyes and scissor cuts are too much of an ordeal to do with a 2 year old. Plus, while my wife did an ok job all things considered, the clipper cut is much easier to get consistent. When he gets old enough to sit through a haircut with a professional we'll reevaluate, but practicality is winning for now

After almost 3 years of encouraging "Please" and "thank you" to moderate success (in that he would say it after additional prompting) our son moved into the preschool class from the toddler class at daycare and within a week he's raising his hand and saying please and thank you at home. It's great and depressing how much better they are at teaching him things

I am filled with dread. My son is almost 3 and only uses it at night, but he’s still very much attached to it and the little stuffed llama. I bought him a new stuffy…hoping that is an acceptable replacement. Fingers crossed.
