@rayengroves I have a freshly turned 2 year old and a 9 month old (15 month gap). I have yelled, cried, praised, laughed, sang, danced and loved my way through these last 9 months in a postpartum haze. If anyone says they haven't been frustrated or yelled at their toddler, they're lying.
@TiffaniMarie483 Instead of saying don't, give him something to do. If he's about to do X, offer Y. "Don't jump on the couch" turns into "let's jump like kangaroos, follow the leader!"
@_ayandamay People are talking about colic like they've never felt gas pains. It can be sooo painful. Tummy massages, figure 8 motions with the hips, and tummy time for a little back massage.
@thehealthb0t My son is almost 2, avocado and eggs have been in his diet since he started eating solids. He counts from 1 to 20 both forward and backwards, knows the alphabet, all the colors, shapes, and animal sounds, he is speaking in sentences (ex. I want apple). Healthy fats and omega 3s!
@Paranjyoti8@CatholicCharm I like the no part. Was this from consistency and predictability? "No" was always explained later, so you just knew to expect it?
@hifortesa Pre 2011, Proton Pump Inhobitors were not given to babies under 1. It is now common practice to prescribe them to infants as young as 1 month old as their digestive systems mature. Studies have found a correlation to alzheimers. Show me these kids medical history.
@newstart_2024 These studies are too narrowly focused. Let me see what they've eaten, how many hours they're in daycare, their sleep schedules, and what medications they've been prescribed in their short little lives.
@newstart_2024 Prior to 2011, proton pump inhibitors were not approved for infants less than a year old. It's now common practice to prescribe to infants as young as 1 month old. Some studies have found a 33-44% higher risk of alzheimers in long term ppi use.
@MctagueNicole@fem_mb Strong men that smoke meth, destroy public property, and beat eachother up? Watch Part I, and come back to let us know what you think.
@AniseNot People are responsing that it's not hard? It isn't the difficulty of it, it's hormones, people. Everyone is different, and handle the hormonal fluctuations and the side effects of oxytocin and prolactin differently.
