It’s tough when your baby gets sick. Make things a little easier with this pacifier syringe.
This dispenser directs liquid medicine to the side of the baby’s cheek, preventing spit-ups, wasted medicine, and inaccurate dosing. The included syringe and pacifier separate so you can attach other syringes. The pacifier tab allows it to be used as a standalone pacifier as well.
Frida Baby’s Medicine Pacifier Syringe is under $15 on Amazon.

I don’t usually read the main page but I’m procrastinating and…if anyone needs a diversion, the thread about Italian toilets this morning made me lol.
I know variations of this have been asked/discussed repeatedly… recommendations on how to handle a kid with a friend who is seeming like more of a frenemy? Our kids have been friends for a long time, and over the past year or two my kid has made sporadic comments about some mean things the friend has said or done. But my kid still asked for playdates, and I figured there’s at least some aspect of this being a two-way street and my kid probably not being completely innocent, so I didn’t think too much of it for a while. The kids are currently in an after-school activity together, and more recently I’ve witnessed a lot of very poor behavior and defiant attitude from the kid first hand, and it’s contributing to my kid having a bad experience in the activity. The parents also shared that the kid got asked to leave a different extra-curricular sometime back as that teacher would no longer accept the behavior. However, teachers of the current activity tend to not intervene or address it.
My kid seems very conflicted and seems to swing between being hurt, frustrated, etc. over this “friend’s” behavior and attitude and desperately not wanting to lose the friend or be out of the “in” group. I think the advice is often to leave it alone and let the kid learn for themselves. It’s just kinda making the whole thing miserable for us all. I’m also struggling a bit with the fact that I’m not sure my kid fully recognizes that what the friend is doing is not acceptable given the current activity teacher tends to let is slide and even cater to it, and I’m worried it’s hurting kid’s self-esteem. Kids are still young, mid-elementary.
I’ve started occasionally telling my kid directly that certain things friend did are not ok, and they’re allowed to say something to friend if friend is being directly mean. Do I just keep at that? Something else?
My son has a march birthday, and will almost certainly be going to a well-regarded charter school with small classes but fairly standard USA pedagogy. It’s not kindergarten season, obviously, but somehow everyone is talking about it now. I know development can change a lot between now and then, but I don’t think it will fundamentally change my kid’s strengths and weaknesses.
He’s a very smart kid, with probably above-average logic and spatial skills, and off-the-charts language skills. But he’s somewhere below average on motor skills and things like following instructions, sitting still, etc. Academic skills like numbers and letters, he’s right on track with the preschool curriculum.
I think he is at a major risk for the “underachiever” stereotype. But is that more likely if he starts older and feels bored, or starts younger and struggles behaviourally?
Signing kiddo up for an activity and you can make one friend request but it’s only guaranteed if both you and the friend request each other. Someone already asked me about my daughter and now another mom texted to ask. How do I politely inform her of this? I really hate anything at all exclusionary
I posted yesterday about being generally happy in life while also being envious of a friend’s set-up. I read through all the comments last night, and I’m so glad this space exists.
The internet is getting increasingly uglier; like many here I’m no longer on social media, and I’m really glad this group of internet friends/strangers is here.
Any advice for dealing with a strong willed toddler who wants to do everything themselves? She refused to let me help her put on her pants this morning, and we literally spent over 20 minutes just to get her in pants this morning. She then freaked out again when I did her hair
I don’t want to spend 2 hours getting out of the house in the morning anymore!
