It's galling when my toddler gags at the smell of poop during a diaper change. Yeah of course it stinks, and you're not even the one who has to clean it up!

Chip McFuck posted:My wife and I have a one-month old at home now, and it's become really hard. Every day around 9 pm, he will, without fail, start wailing so long and loudly that he goes hoarse. We have no idea why he does this as his sleeping, eating, and diapers have all been normal. Swaddling him, rocking him, nothing seems to calm him down. He'll eventually go to sleep after midnight, and then the whole process starts again the next night. This is textbook "Purple crying" and it loving sucks, but it will get better. A lot of babies do this, peaking around two months of age and stopping around 3-4 months. That will seem like an eternity away right now, but it will end. By all means, get them checked out just in case but chances are there's nothing physically wrong with them, they just need to work through it. Focus on caring for yourself and your partner - take a break, block out the sound, whatever helps.

Flipping this on its head, Are there any widely-loved shows that you hate? Personally I can't stand Daniel Tiger; something about the animation and the way they keep breaking into little sing-along sentences that sound like different voice actors. And this should go without saying but gently caress Blippi

Yeah, someone once said there will come a day where you pick them up and put them down for the last time, but you won't even realize it at the time

IceG posted:Anyone have any good toy recommendations for plane toys on a....4 hour then a ten hour flight? This is for a 3.5 yo boy that loves cars and lego etc. Get a goodie bag and fill it with little toys, books etc. Take out a new one every half hour, or when the novelty wears off. Even try giving him a roll of masking tape and letting him occupy himself wrapping things

Bribery. A sticker on a big chart for every time they use the potty. A prize for completing a row or the whole thing. Our kid also got a smartie for every pee and a gummy bear for every poop. It might seem like spoiling them, but it's not for forever and it's about finding something that motivates them. One of my friends bought a bunch of cheap matchbox cars which were doled out as rewards.

Slaan posted:4 year old is happy to go to the potty and sit there for ten to twenty minutes. She just won't go. She has bowel control because we can see her hold out until a new pull up is put on. How do we break the diaper to pee/poo connection and switch to potty to pee and poo. My suggestion once again is bribery. It might take a little while, but once they associate using the potty with reward, it becomes a lot faster. Our kid took a long time to tell us she needed to per/poop, but long before that we could just take her and she'd go once she sat down
