My son is going to daycare this September and I’m trying to decide what kind of lunchbox will be best- a regular style lunch bag or one of those bento boxes?? Looking for input on that and any other helpful tips I should know about going to daycare!!

Cyst behind top of the ear 2 yr old

Hi ,Could you please let me know if any of your child had cyst behind ear? It looks like small lump bigger than peas size. What was done to get it removed? My child had fever last week and has occasional cough. We checked her with doctor and he said it's cyst and it has to taken out by small surgery. By injecting and taking it out as cyst normally won't remove itself. Has anyone encountered this before?Sorry for my bad English.

Transition to bed

I’ve read the parenting blogs and honestly, I need to know some real advice. We’re on day two, she was climbing out of the crib so we switched a few days after that to make sure she wouldn’t hurt herself. Yesterday she was up for hours, so my husband went in and slept there. She was being quiet tonight but we heard activity and checked on her- decided to sleep in there again. She’s ripping up books (not sure why she does jt, but that’s not unusual for her) and pulling paintings off the wall. Now, I’m thinking that tomorrow one of us should just stay in her room after bedtime until she goes asleep. Telling her rules and putting in a colour changing clock won’t make her stay in bed, so what did you do (if you’ve made the switch)?

Potty training

Poop avoidance is real but he went in the toilet today without any issues. :)

Have i damaged my toddler

Backstory: toddler and 5m old. Toddler has been unwell recently (maybe cov1d) and is so clingy to me. I never get a moment to myself EVER. It’s over 100 degrees here atm. The other night she was in my bed and snoring away. I couldn’t get my baby to sleep and the snoring was really triggering me and getting on my last nerve. I pinched her nostrils together and tapped her with a pillow to try and get her to stop and in the end I woke her up and screamed at her to stop snoring!!! I feel so awful 😩😩😩 she did no way deserve it. I apologised. It was just a heat of the moment thing as annoying noises really bug me when other things aren’t going right (baby not sleeping, heat etc). I’m worried I was so mean that I’ve spoilt our relationship 😩

Snack containers

My September baby is starting preschool in the fall and we need to pack a snack for him. I’m looking for recommendations on containers that would be easy for him to open! Thanks I’m advance! P.s. I also can’t believe I’m going to have a preschooler this fall. Where did the time go?! 😭😭

My September baby is going to be a big sister!

Weird spots on face

Hey! Does this look like anything to y’all? These spots just randomly appeared on my toddlers face, at least that’s what my husband said, I was at work. I’ve been putting aquaphor on them but they don’t seem to be getting better. Any thoughts? She’s not in daycare or around anyone else but her father, baby brother and I.

Potty training boys

I need help please i try everything but this little man can hold it for ever. I had him naked and then sit on the toilet nothing. Also open the water and nothing. I also kinda splash with cool water neither. Any tips and trick that helped y’all ladies. I will be available to try again in two weeks.

Covid

Poor kid got covid. Any tips for little from those that have been through it? He's drinking powerade, humidifier is on, tylenol and ibuprofen on tap, but he's restless. He wants to do things and gets worn out almost immediately.

Toddler hurt my baby :(

She threw an empty water bottle hard from a distance and it landed on 4m old head :(She has a bruise now on her head. Will she be ok?!!

Silly boy

Climbed into his crib, grabbed his pillow, blanket, and puppy and came out and made himself a bed up on the back of the couch (not to sleep, just to be silly)He even tucked himself in, I didn't cover him, that was all Flynn

Potty training

I thought I knew how to potty train. Boys are different than girls. His bladder is huge lol. He can hold it in forever. Just sitting with with Mr Naked while we wait for him to pee.

Bath time troubles

My son used to LOVE baths and showers. He’d throw a fit every time he had to get out. But about a month or so ago he screams and cries every time I try to get him in the bath/shower. I hold him and hurry as fast as I can, and we only do it once a week now to try avoiding the extreme fear. What can I do to get him back to liking bath time? I hate having to put him through that but he won’t let me clean him any other way. Not even just a wash down with a washcloth. Please help me 😭

Toddler bed & toddler issue

My son is 3 & we have a crib transitioned into a toddler bed but we ended up putting the side back on so he couldn’t escape, We tried the toddler bed and every night he would just climb out the bed and run back to the living room Long story short 8pm bedtime , he’s out down 8:30 he’s out9pm we put him back 9:05 he’s back outThere’s no way to just lock him in his bed without him escaping and thinking it’s a game How do I let him use his toddler bed without him running back out to usI guess how do I “train him” to just go to sleep lol

Resenting my toddler

She’s being SO hard. Constantly tantrumming and bashing her head on the wall. I have a 3m old so toddler isn’t getting my full attention anymore. The time she does have im getting really annoyed.

Naughty 👿

Am I doing something wrong? Is my parenting not good enough? My little one will be 3 in September like many in this group I suppose I just need some advice. She does such things like spit, also spit her food out, bite, pinch, pull things out the wardrobe just to say “sorry mum” that’s not even half. I just want to know how to let her know it’s naughty I’ve taken her too her room, she just laughs, she’s been tapped, she just laughs, I’ve shouted, she just laughs, to a point where I cry and she’ll stop, but it’s becoming a lot at the moment as I’m 5 months pregnant and don’t need this stress 🥹Please tell me it’s half normal!

Amelia!

It’s been a very long time since I’ve posted an update. Not much new going on here, Amelia is still fighting seizures everyday, lots of hospital admissions, new meds, old meds, diets, surgeries etc. she’s happy, she’s very very wild, (being evaluated for autism and adhd) she’ll be starting early preschool this coming up school year! Her older brother is doing great but I think everything affects him more than he puts out. Her younger sister got her gtube and a diagnosis of reactive airway disease and the treatments have been really helping her! Here’s our family. Thanks for All the love and support, despite me hardly updating. 💜💙❤️
