due to an interaction between my materials of my slippers and the potty we have i am constantly tripping over it in the night and usually flipping it over in the process. so my advice is put it out of the way and def clean it every time after use

we haven't really "tried" to start training yet but she shouts "wee wee! Potty!" And goes to get it but her timing isn't quite right so so far, there hasn't been any actual successful usage

friendly advice to future parents in this thread: make sure people who come to visit your newborn baby wash and disinfect their hands properly. our 14-day old got the RSV virus and is now in the hospital. apparently no risk to her life but this is still the most anxious i've ever been i did not expect i would miss the crying and gooking after just one night without my little anne

you're certainly not wrong to have people wash and all, but kids get sick. im not saying this to say "don't try to protect them". i don't mean that. i say it to say "don't beat yourself up when they do". keeping kids healthy is something where we do everything we can knowing full well it won't be and can never be enough. good luck with the little one!

My wife and I were absolutely mortified about our son getting sick, especially COVID, but then we started daycare, and we're all always sick now, which is cool

my doctor told me that it was actually important for kids to be basically constantly sick with something when they're little because of some hosed up medical reason idk but yeah the whole family was sick off-and-on for like 3 years

I’ve got no training, data, or knowledge here but getting too few colds when a youngun seems like it would correlate with a weaker immune system and even developing autoimmune problems

our pediatrician said essentially that any kid is going to have an extended period of sickness whenever they first enter social settings. His opinion was that it was better for that to happen before "real" school started since missing daycare is not that huge of a deal but missing too much school could carry nasty consequences. this was about two years ago and he did say that Covid restrictions were helping to reduce the intensity of that first spike in infections, I suppose that isn't the case anymore.

i’m going to be staying home with our son so i’ve got to take him to enough play dates so he can get a little sick, as a treat. but either way he’ll probably get sick when he starts school. maybe preschool would be early enough he won’t be missing that much.

our dr also said that the baby will be having a cold on and off for some time. He's getting it a bit earlier though as the 3 yr old is in preschool collecting all the germs

so how to remove an association with predictive text? why? well my son wanted to whatsapp his nan and used my phone, and despite me not ever using the phrase (or certainly not in last few years) the suggestions for completing the sentence 'thank...' is either 'you' or 'gently caress'

less than a week into potty training I can reliably get the kiddo to be positively excited to go use the potty. unfortunately it is by loudly announcing that I need to use it at which point he channels the toddler "wait if you use the thing that means I can't be using it and despite me not caring about its existence 5 seconds ago it's my thing I want exclusive possession of the thing!" instinct and sprints into the bathroom. less than ideal, but it still counts as a win.

well I was kind of winging it but not just fantasizing these things:quote:In 2003 Graham Rook proposed the "old friends hypothesis" which has been described as a more rational explanation for the link between microbial exposure and inflammatory disorders. The hypothesis states that the vital microbial exposures are not colds, influenza, measles and other common childhood infections which have evolved relatively recently over the last 10,000 years, but rather the microbes already present during mammalian and human evolution, that could persist in small hunter-gatherer groups as microbiota, tolerated latent infections, or carrier states. He proposed that coevolution with these species has resulted in their gaining a role in immune system development. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hygiene_hypothesis

baby is now on oxygen since last night. her breathing keeps getting worse. now we are feeding her through a tube. the good side of this is that my SO could finally go home and sleep properly, since she can now just pull milk out and i can give it to her. i am scared shitless to see my little baby girl with a breathing apparatus and am worried they need to transfer her to a beefier hospital to put on a beefier machine

I've been, albeit less intense, in the same position as you with a sick newborn. It's extremely loving rough, please be sure to take care of your mental wellbeing too. She's in the right place getting the care she needs. RSV is tough but babies are resilient. Good vibes to you and her.

thanks for all the support everyone didn't want to jinx it but now i can say that she's getting much better since yesterday. they are slowly reducing her oxygen and letting her eat directly from the breasts again. if everything goes well tomorrow or monday we are out of course the doctors have been reassuring the whole time and even if i know RSV has basically a mortality rate of 0 in developed countries, there's always that thought floating around... i can't believe how much i miss having my infant daughter sleeping on my chest. man that's the best feeling ever
