Now he is very sure that he can suck on his fingers and nurse at the same time. Getting him latched is a task and a half right now! He wants the nipple and his fingers at the same time....
This is my 4th baby but as each child has taught me every kid is so different and needs a completely different playbook.
He is 9 weeks old and still needing to be swaddle or he startles himself awake every 5-10 minutes. He isn't showing any signs of rolling back to belly yet, but he is in the 75th percentile for weight so it's hard finding one that still fits. All my other babies were out of swaddles between 6-8 weeks. Anyone else have a baby that needed to be swaddled longer?
I doubt this has anything to do with it but he was born at 38 weeks through an emergency induction due to lack of movement.
I need some help! My oldest is 5.5 years old. He is just about to complete VPK (he has an October birthday, and the cutoff in my state is Sep. 1st). Lately he just doesn't listen to anything I say. Timeouts don't work anymore, spending extra time with just him doesn't work, even his VPK teachers say he isn't listening very well there either. He either just doesn't listen at all or he flat out says no.
For context we did just have a new baby 8 weeks ago (our fourth boy). So I'm sure that's contributing to some of it, but I can't trust him to behave anywhere right now and it's wearing me down. If anyone has suggestions to help please share them!
