For those of you who hired a postpartum doula, what did you have her do? What schedule did you find most useful? Thanks!
for anyone who’s kid has had ear tubes, how long did you wait until you took the kid swimming? And did you use any type of ear plugs?
has anyone tried to turn a business trip into a family vacation (or add a family portion to the business portion)? any tips on logistics?
My son (5) has always had night terrors but last night, he was just sleepwalking, which was a welcome change from the horrified, wideyed screaming! He was like a tiny drunk person. He tried to get water out of the soap dispenser, complained “I don’t even know what you are talking about!”, and then jumped on our bed, put my sweater over his head like a ghost and giggled.
There doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason to it, he was tired, but not upset or wired. But I’m relieved that the screaming terrors seem less frequent.
Anyone use a sleep consultant for a 3 year old? Do you think it was worth it, did it resolve the issue? Our 3 yo has been waking at least once if not 2-3 times every night for almost a year now and waking up for good around 515-530am every single day. We’ve tried bribes, walking him back multiple times, dream pee, moving bedtime, big dinner, ok to wake clock, very active days, and none of it has worked. He’s been nap free for a month, no change. He got tubes in his ears and adenoids removed, no change. I could maybe live with the early wake up if that’s just the way things are with him but the multiple night wakings are killing us. Thing is, its hard for me to think of what a sleep consultant could possibly tell us that we don’t already know. We’ve had a consistent bedtime routine since 4 months old. Our older kid sleeps like a pro. Its having a big impact on our family and our marriage because we are sooo tired all the time. And cranky. Thoughts?
Speaking of travel car seats, I’m reporting in on using the Wayb Pico on an air/car trip last month. On the way out, the seat fit great in the airplane and was easy to install. It was also fairly easy to install in the car, although I didn’t feel it was super secure and wouldn’t use it as an everyday seat. However, on the plane ride home we could not get it to install correctly at all — something about the length of the seatbelt made it impossible to buckle it in. So we went without and had our 3.5 year old in the regular plane seat, which turned out to be totally fine and we probably won’t use a seat on the plane in future. Overall I would not buy the Wayb Pico at full price again, since it seems to have pretty limited use. If I got one for free or significant discount though, it’s handy. The best part is how easy it was to carry through the airport, as compared to the Cosco Scenera Next which desperately needs a handle!
Can anyone recommend specific videos with a kid-friendly yoga flow or something ritualized to help with mindfulness and body awareness? Looking for something to do with my 8 year old but everything seems be filled with lots of extra padding and my guy needs something relatively quick and to the point. I know Cosmic Kids is good but don’t want to wade through 10,000 videos.
i asked the other week about Disney planners and have reached out to some of the recommended ones, but haven’t heard back from most, so I wanted to do a follow up post to see if anyone else has any suggestions. thanks!
We have a couch in our playroom which is on the main floor of our house so I like it looking somewhat decent and not 100% kid land. The current throw pillows on it are from when it was our living room couch pre kids. They are starting to show their age and my 4 year old likes to pull the feathers from them and then my baby likes to eat the feathers. Its driving me batty. Looking for suggestions for comfortable pillows (grandparents read a lot of stories on this couch) that are also kid friendly. Any favorites?
I wouldn’t use a Bubblebum for a 3 year (do they meet the weight requirement). Instead I’d do a Ride Safer Vest, which is more like having them in a 5 point harness.
A few weeks ago someone recommended the Bubble Bum inflatable car seats for international travel. Any other similarly light weight, packable recommendations before I buy a couple of these? Kids are 3 and 6. My SIL lives internationally so we rent a car when we’re there – and we’ll have a lot of driving to do but mostly in 2 hour type increments. Thanks.
