And — here are some of our latest threadjacks of interest – working mom questions asked by the commenters!
- The concept of “backup care” is so stupid…
- I need tips on managing employees in BigLaw who have to leave for daycare pickup…
- I’m thinking of leaning out to spend more time with my family – how can I find the perfect job for that?
- I’m now a SAHM and my husband needs to step up…
- How can I change my thinking to better recognize some of my husband’s contributions as important, like organizing the shed?
- What are your tips to having a good weekend with kids, especially with little kids? Do you have a set routine or plan?
Husband was homeschooled and started college at 12, I went to school but skipped three grades. Can anyone suggest some parenting books? We were raised by “different” parents than most people and we are struggling with maintaining a balance between ensuring our kids are enriched and not pushing too hard.
This depends on how heavy a sleeper your kiddo is, but I’ve been able to often sneak in at night before I went to bed and change the toddler’s diaper without waking toddler up. I started doing this with my son when we were similarly having leaking issues, and did it for a period of time with my daughter.
Others will likely recommend cutting back on drinks, especially milk, in the evening, but we didn’t try that (it felt weird to deny drinks, especially as books & milk is the main part of our going to bed routine). I’ve heard some folks rave about Huggies Overnights as particularly good for this situation, too, and we’ve tried them but it didn’t seem much different to us than regular Pampers (our preferred brand).
As for why, I haven’t a clue. It might just be that bigger kids mean more liquid production. I found that it eventually passes as kids develop the ability to hold it in/get physically ready to potty train.
So we have recently sized up in diapers – we’re now on size 4. I think we sized up about 3 weeks ago. Daughter is almost 15 months. I mention this because I don’t think sizing up in diapers is the answer to my question here…
We are still using the same brand (Kirkland), which we’ve never had problems with before. But three nights in a row now, my daughter has had leakage in the middle of the night and the diaper has been completely saturated by about 2am. We haven’t changed her diet or schedule recently.
Has this sudden change in diaper habits happened to anyone else? Previously she’s been quite happy in a single diaper all night with no leaks, and usually her diaper isn’t even saturated in the morning. I just can’t figure out why all of a sudden this is happening, and why it would change so suddenly.
FWIW, we haven’t been using special “overnight” diapers up until now, and haven’t needed to, but I went out and bought some Pampers Stay-Dry overnight diapers on my way to work this morning to try to combat this new problem.
Any ideas?
Posted late yesterday, but going to repost again today. Not sure if I am looking for advice or commiseration. Definitely looking for sleep.
Looking for advice on how to handle a situation. Based on our work schedules, I am home with the kids in the morning until the nanny comes, and my husband gets home earlier and relieves the nanny at the end of the day. Kids are 2.5 and 6 months. In the morning, I get all three of us ready — cleaned, dressed and fed — before the nanny arrives. It was rough in the beginning, but we kind of have a routine. When I get home at night, I feel like everything is in shambles. The baby is usually in the crib, but fully dressed, so I have to change his diaper and put him in pajamas. The 2.5 year old may or may not be in pajamas, but in any event is in my bed (watching TV or passed out). My husband is vegging in bed also. I understand that he is tired from a long day at work, but I struggle with why he can’t really impose any structure on the night schedule. There are a few times each month when he has to work late, so in addition to my morning with the kids, I leave work early and handle nighttime; I’m tired and stressed, but I manage to get everyone in pajamas and clean diapers, read a story, make a bottle, so that when husband gets home, everyone is in pajamas sleeping in their own bed.
The baby is a decent sleeper so far, but we are having a lot of sleep problems with the 2.5 y/o. I feel like a few nights of a structured routine, even if it involves tears, is going to do a world of wonder with the sleeping issue, but my husband just does not seem to have the energy/discipline to see it through.
So my questions are (1) do you think 2.5 years of sleep problems can be overcome with a few nights of routine? and (2) how do I express this to my husband and tell him he needs to be a team player? I understand that a lot of the stress is initially going to fall on him, as I often don’t get home until after 8, and he would need to do this on his own, but at the same time, I hate coming home at night and having to deal with getting everyone to their respective rooms and into bed.
Weaning: Day 1 (for real this time), and I’m about to freak out. It’s going to be ok right?
I answered your question just now on yesterday’s thread re: boy-raising books.
