How to get my 1yr old to like shoes

How did you guys get your child to wear shoes? Hes never liked baby shoes or socks and he still doesnt. But he’s walking now and he wants to walk in stores but he refuses to walk in shoes he will just crawl. Ive been taking him out with just socks and letting him walk around in socks but i dont like it🥲 any advice on getting him to like shoes? Or at least make him more tolerant to them. How can i get him to walk in them?

Here for the advice too! My son isn’t walking yet but has hated shoes since..always! lol and all I keep thinking is he’s going to walk soon and need to wear them 🤦🏻‍♀️

Here for the comments my baby is walking, but she hates wearing shoes and always try to take them off. Sometimes, she won't even walk while they're on her feet, ugh

i feel like i made a mistake by waiting until he is walking to get him used to shoes because i wanted his feet to grow unrestricted😭 i hope we get our advice soon😂

I did things to distract her! So ask her to stand up and hold my hand. Give her handheld toys. Just anything to keep her hands busy. Now she’ll walk anywhere in shoes just still hates shoes on in the car still😂 when it comes it walking I don’t think they necessarily hate the shoes on it’s just different and feels like they are walking on something. I told my friend it probably makes them feel how we feel the first time in heels a little unstable.

he literally doesnt even take a step. He just drops to the ground and crawl😭 he absolutely refuses to walk in them

this is a great idea! I’ll definitely be giving it a try as soon as i can!

I started putting shoes on my baby when he was younger so that may be why He's more tolerant with them but you could but the shoes on Him and then stand him up and hold both of his hands and walk with him but you have to be consistent or else it may not work out shoes on him everyday for a few minutes and continue to practice so he gets used to it

I hope this helps! My baby isn't walking yet but he has no problem with shoes when he does have them on

My son hates shoes as well unless they are soft and flexible. They also say while they learn to walk, the shoes need to be flexible, so no hard soles. These are the 2 shoes my son wears without a problem AND is not able to kick them off

I don’t think any mistakes were made! Just like some adults, sometimes people just don’t like shoes haha. Also the top of my sons foot is very high so a lot of shoes I’ve even tried on him don’t work cause I can’t get his foot in 🤪

My son loves loves loves these https://www.amazon.com/Fringeless-Genuine-Leather-Baby-Moccasins/dp/B07DHZGC7F

We had tried Nikes prior and they were too heavy and clunky. The moccasins were the way

We started slow. 5 minutes of just wearing them and putting toys on the couch where he’d have to pull himself up to standing. Then 10 minutes. Now when he gets dressed out of pajamas, even when we’re just staying home, he brings his shoes to me!

Sleeping bag

8 week old in sleeping bag for first time as big enough! Do you feed your child in the night whilst in the sleeping bag or taken them out, feed then transfer back to sleeping bag before putting down?

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

Not drinking

I’m going crazy. Baby born at 2.26kg. Slow to put on weight. This last week hasn’t put on any. Been trying to feed him at night and he’s not interested at all. Fast asleep. During day he will have 5 minute gulps and that’s it. He don’t cry for milk. I’ve got to keep offering to him. I try to offer it every hour but I don’t know what I’m doing. HV said nutrition comes after 5 minutes so I should pump first and then give him. I find it so hard. I tried to pump one boob nothing came. The other abit came. Tried giving him express he’s not interested in that too. Sometimes he will go for a longer a feed but not long at all. He’s 4 months and is currently 5.46kg. I have no family or friend support here and wish I had a cook, cleaner and nanny to help with everything so I can concentrate on the little one. I don’t know what’s wrong with him but I’m loosing it. It doesn’t help that my also stressed generally about my relationship and life circumstances. Any advice that will work. Any comfort you can give. I’m fed up. Is this regression - not feeding. He’s fast fast asleep. I’ve been trying to push the nipple in but that mouth is closed shut. I took some clothes off. Changed his nappy but he’s still asleep. Please help

Am I wrong?

I’ve been wanting to add more garden beds to my garden. Husband says “hey do you want to go to Home Depot to get that wood for the garden beds.” Cool I’m excited I’ve been wanting to get this done for awhile.

We get there and we’re picking out wood and I make 2 comments about how I don’t like how 2 pieces of wood look that he picked out. And he says if you’re going to be this picky then u can do this yourself.

I literally made 2 comments and mind you I’m the one paying for the wood.

I felt dismissed and like my opinion didn’t matter and if I wanted to have an opinion then I need to do it myself. Like what?

It was rude and not okay. Am I wrong? Am I overreacting?

He thinks it was fine that he said that.

My little one is struggling with sleep

Hey! I'm in need of some advice please girls! My little boy is 20 months turns 21 months in 2 half weeks. He use to sleep through the night now he is waking up every single night in the early morning, I've had to transition him to a toodler bed as he kept climbing out his cot. Just need some advice on what I can do to help him get back in to a sleep pattern?

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣
