Recently 3.5 year old hates singing/nursery rhymes

Seems to have been triggered from nursery but can’t be sure. What on earth can I do? We collected one day and she was so upset as they were all running about and singing and barged past her, it frightened her. They don’t play music much now but seems this has become an issue now. She screams to have music/songs turned off and does the same when I try and sing. Interesting I can play music on things like super simple etc me tumble but the traditional nursery rhymes are distressing.

It’s not music, volume etc. it’s specifically singing and specific nursery rhymes.

So hard as I used singing to help her vocabulary so much and to gain her attention.

We went through this too, it was a hard phase! Especially at nursery. It was worse when she was overstimulated, some times she would tolerate it but more often than not she got really upset. We later found out, once our girl could communicate, that she didn't like that the songs didn't sound the same as how they did on the TV on simple songs etc Some autistic kids have perfect pitch and get upset at people singing if they aren't singing the song perfectly! Hits their ears all wrong. Must be torture! Good news is, she grew out of it and it's not an issue any more❤️

Saying that, my 2yo that doesn't have autism gets really emotional when I sing some old songs like You Are My Sunshine to her. But it's different kind of emotional, it's sad rather than stressed and upset!

yes, I do think it might be linked to the ‘pitch perfect idea’ but she doesn’t even like the songs (Vicky Aldrige for example) as original. She did have hearing loss at one point too, which has improved so perhaps linked! It’s so hard

It's a super hard thing to navigate for sure, it will get better, hang in there 💪🏼

My son is the same he will hit if I sing sometimes or tell you to stop but he does it only at home and OT at school he doesnt have a reaction with time it will get better I promise my son did

thank you’ I suspect hers is partly to do with the bad experience there with them all running, loud, chaotic etc too. But more to than that I am sure. She makes her preferences very well known. I just wish I knew how to build her tolerance without upset

Wdy think of this for a toddler to learn word construction?

I'm open to anything else to start teaching him to read and write. He's 3!

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?
