Hi there! We're staying in the cabins at the beaver lake resort next week with our toddlers. I was wondering if anyone can share whether it's a good swimming lake and if so, is it generally warm enough for young kids? Thanks!
(*vent* lol) My SIL called my 16 month old daughter manipulative because she was crying and signing to nurse and when I said "okay" she clapped, smiled and gave a little giggle.
No. My daughter isn't manipulative. Her gums are literally bleeding from 4 molars pushing through at once. Ugh.
Hi! So I know some people who breastfeed over a year old often are only nursing once or twice a day. Someone posted that they just nurse once in the morning and once at night.
So my question is... if you never nurse during the day usually but then your toddler gets hurt or sick and nursing could help on a random Tuesday at 1pm, would you still have milk available for them? Or has your body adapted to only lactating morning and night?
Thanks! Trying to figure out if I need to pump midday to maintain supply when my 17month old starts daycare next week or if my body will figure it out for weekends/in times of illness.
My daughter is 17 months and is just starting to ease into daycare before i go back to work. The daycare workers have commented that she doesnt like other kids and wont play with them. Even often crying if they get too close to her. If hanging with a teacher isnt an option, she'll choose to sit and watch the kids playing outside. Inside, she plays independently exploring the toys or interacts with her teachers.
She's never liked other babies, even since 6 months old when we would go to storytime. She is super social otherwise though, adores waving and smiling at adults everywhere we go and following older kids at the park. Just not kids under 3 years old.
Now I'm in my head picturing her sitting outside alone for 30-60min bored or lonely while other kids play around her. Is this a sign daycare isnt a good fit for her? Is this amount of independent play hurting her? Or is it normal and she may warm up eventually?
The way they bring it up makes me think this is abnormal, but she's also the youngest in the class so the others are a bit more physical and energetic than her. Which might be overwhelming for her? I dunnnnno, just worrying a bit when i already stressed about leaving her :(
