Let’s brag

Brag about your kiddos. As parents to neurodivergent children we’re often talking about their struggles. But let’s brag. Tell me something your kiddo does that impresses you. Or a milestone you’ve been working towards and finally got it. Big or small let’s celebrate !

Ny first born; My little girl is suspected ADHD so everyday is a battle with her impulsive behaviour and violence alongside the hyperactivity it’s hard however, she’s 5 years old and her teacher is always telling me how hard she’s trying in school especially with phonics she’s in top set for her phonics and it makes me so happy when she demonstrates to me at home with her phonics book how well she’s come on! Makes me extra proud how well she’s come on also because she was so premature and my heart just bursts everyday with her even though the days can be hard I’m so proud of her for just being her🥰🥰x

My 4 year old is autistic and he has an extraordinary visual memory 🥹. Once he sees something he just knows it forever. He learnt 20 flags in 2 days by just looking at the pictures for example. He notices things I would never even pay attention to. He also knows colours in 3 different languages and he could read from the age of 2. He’s so exceptional in many ways 🥹🥰

Good morning ladies 🌞💐. My youngest is the one that deals with ADHD, ODD, and is on the autism spectrum. I can say that he's strong-willed and determined (just trying to get all of that towards the right things).

My first born is a little boy of four years old. He is non-verbal Autistic. Has been since he was eighteen months old. We just had his IEP meeting and omg he is doing so many things now. His teachers are like "I'm not sure what happened but he is now playing with toys with more intention and where he didn't feel comfortable going on the slide before now he is playing like any other four year old on the playground". I seriously almost cried. He hasn't been interested in anything before. It has been hard to get him out of his shell. But honestly he is doing so many things and it makes me have hope for him.

So many things! He can put together a large 60 piece floor puzzle for the first time in less than 10 mins.

The coolest thing he does is pull up specific Daniel Tiger video clips on his tablet, and use them as ways to communicate since he’s nonverbal, or imitate the actions in the video.
Just to give one example, one night my husband was out of town which made him very distressed, and he quickly pulled up the “grown ups come back” song and played it on loop 🥹

Chickenpox vaccine reaction?

My 1 year old had the vaccine 10 days ago, been clingy and sleeping more the last week, no fever, but today his body has red spots all over.
Is this just a normal reaction?

Baby and breastfeeding

I have a 3 week old and I am exclusively breastfeeding, I’ve found in the past week or so, he latches on very well to one breast and drinks with no problem but the other breast, he will latch bit detach himself after a bit and I’m having to latch him on several times. When he does detach milk usually sprays everywhere which makes me think it’s the flow that’s quite strong, but has anyone else had this problem before and can offer some advice? Thank you!

Is so selfish to continue to have kids when you’re barely scraping by financially and mentally

My friend, just announced her pregnancy and she just had her third baby 8 months ago?! And she already has a one and two year old. She constantly vents about how things are so tight financially but “makes things work”. These kids end up suffering 😢I’m usually such a supportive friend, but this…. I can’t support. It’s low key making me not want to be friends with her. Coming from someone who is two and done, I recognized my limit and drew a line and overall I’m just tired of hearing her rant about how things are so tight financially and always venting about her marital problems and then continues to add to her stress. Reality has to set in some time!? Should I cut her off?

Help me pleaseeeeee (Read first)

I’m in a little bit of a conundrum. I’ve been looking for a pram for my 6 month old,/ that’s compact with reversible seats as my little girl likes the best of both worlds. I’ve been drawn towards a silver cross breez and bugaboo butterfly. I initially was up to spending any amount, but now I’m really thinking about it and I don’t know if it’s worth it. I’ve also come across the Joie signature range and note that it’s about a kg or two heavier than the others but cheaper. I’m so confused! Help please with my indecisiveness please 🫠
