My 2020 Baby turned 5 🥹

The time just goes so fast !!!

4 year old bored

My 4 year old is bored. I need help with activities! She is in preschool but only 3 half days. She’s literally bored but I also have a 3 year old too. We have a billion toys and activities I feel like I’m doing something wrong.

How to get my 4 year old to stop wetting the bed?

So my daughter just turned 4.She has been daytime potty trained for a little over a year and a half and does wonderful through the day. No accidents, ever!Night time is a different story. She wets the bed pretty much every single night. We’ve tried restricting fluids before bedtime and she still does it. There are a few nights that she does good but they’re few and far between and if we let her sleep in a pull up she will use it every night instead of going to the potty and she does not care. Any tips on how to stop this?

SURPRISE Baby Boy!

After giving birth to my daughter 14 years ago, we have faced MANY losses due to secondary infertility.Five miscarriages later, we had all but given up.Then, we were SO blessed to welcome a baby boy in2020 - who "completed" our family! But, wait,SURPRISE! We found out that God is amazing and our caboose is on the way! This new little boy is going to be so loved and will have an extremely excited family to welcome him! Thank you for anything - your kindness and giving means the world! 🥰❤️

Poo problems

My girl will not poo on the toilet or potty. She only wants to stand up and is doing several small pops throughout the day. I am going through 7 pairs of kickers a day! It’s really problematic she clenches her bum cheeks and stands up to poo. When she sits on the toilet she just says no poo there now. She has a varied diet, I’ve upped fluid intake and fibre intake. Not sure what to do. Anybody else?

I miss yall

Haven’t been on here in Forever! But here is my 3 year old girl!

Almost 3 & still uses pacifier

Help, how do I get my daughter to stop using her pacifier? Today I made the attempt at taking the nookie away & wellll basically she had a meltdown for 25 minutes, screaming & crying. I felt terrible doing this because I know how attached she is to her nookie :( Any tips or tricks that has helped you break the pacifier?

Nearly 3 year old started hitting out

My little boy is 2, he turns 3 in February and recently he has started hitting out, he lashes out at his big sister and most recently started hitting me in the face when dropping him off at pre school. I don't know where it has come from, it has come out of nowhere, I recently had his teacher pulling me aside and asking how he is behaving at home. We never had this with our first child so this is all new. Is this a phrase? I have started the time out routine but it's not really working. Anybody else going through this or has been through it and what can help? He hasn't had much of a social life as being born 2 weeks just before lock down but I can't see that being the issue here?

my toddler doesn't love me anymore

he is 2 years and 7 months and he has always been mamas boy except about 1 month ago when I had a baby, he used to call me for everything now he refuses to do anything with me, he doesn't want me to put him to sleep.or to carry him, he used to get exited when I picked him up day care and now he doesn't. he even told me today * I want daddy to pick me up* my heart is broken in million pieces. has anyone been through this? is this phase? will he hate me forever? I feel like I can't take this pain

Potty training (HELP NEEDED)

My 2.5 yr has not being potty trained yet I work full time from home but I don't have thr luxury to leave my desk when I want to, can I get some advice ir suggestions on how to train? 🙃

Sleep regression drains all fun

My toddler used to go to sleep with a routine and sleep in his own crib. We could lay him down awake, say good night and leave the room.Lately it takes one of us parents to lay down with him until he is fully asleep. Often we end up falling asleep with him and don't get any free time in the evening.It's so draining that the little "adult" time we get together is drained away by these long bedtimes. But we are also too exhausted and emotional about sleep training at this point. Hearing my toddler call "I am really sad!" from his room is killing me. I'm so lost and confused.He also wakes up once a night and then my partner will usually sleep next to him until the morning.I'm so lost

Nightmares

When do nightmares typically begin for little ones? My daughter is two years old & she had one recently.

My 2 year old is still not talking yet

He will copy you like someone laughing or body motions, he said mama today after a while of him just not saying it ♥️I’m just really worried because my older son who is 6 has autism and just started talking. He also has a bit of a lazy eye but we got him glasses just waiting for those to come in. And I swear he will tell me he loves me while he’s hugging me bc I’ll say it to him lol My 1 year old daughter isn’t talking yet either. I feel like such a horrible mom because I was on antidepressants with both of them.

Pregnancy sickness

I have a 2 year old and I am about 8 weeks pregnant with our second and for the last two weeks I have been miserable!! Anything I have tried to eat immediately will come right back up. I’m lucky if I can get a few bites. I feel so guilty that I haven’t been able to play with my toddler or keep up with housework. My boyfriend works a lot of double shifts so he’s always exhausted too and I hate asking him for help around the house 🥲 I’m just experiencing a lot of mom/partner guilt and feeling so miserable. I don’t remember it being this bad with my son and I was working my whole pregnancy and this time I will be home at least. I just want the sickness to end so I can enjoy this pregnancy and also enjoy time with my son and boyfriend. Sorry I guess this is just a rant. I hope the throwing up ends soon or at least stops being an all day thing. Also anyone else with a 3 year age gap between their kiddos? Nervous about having two kids but also excited to watch them grow together.
