Biting constantly

How to get toddler to stop biting! I’ve tried giving toys, redirecting, not acting out, giving other things to bite. Nothing seems to work, he will bite and just laugh and do it again

Determine the cause. Is it to get your attention, because they are frustrated? Usually there is a reason they are failing to communicate other ways. As awful as it is, i think it's something they outgrow or work through. I tried everything and teaching them to sign or talk was when the biting ended. Usually when they were frustrated was when they bit, occasionally they would be seeking positive attention or trying to show affection and that took time for them to understand that biting is not a way to generate a positive response. If it's just to get a rise from you continue to not to response dramatically. Just a simple we dont bite is enough and removing myself to another area or engaging myself elsewhere was enough to take the reward response she was getting by the big ouch response she was hoping for.

UK mums - Do you send your child to nursery in stained clothing?

Some of my daughter's clothes have become so stained and most of these stains have happened while she's been at nursery.

I am struggling so much to get the stains out!

I feel like if I send her in stained clothes I'll be judged or looked at weirdly like I can't afford to clean her clothes or something?

What do you do with stained clothes?

Does anyone have tips for stain removal? Red/orange food (I know sunlight but we're going into winter where it's scarce). Brown knee stains? Just like dirt stains? And yellow curry stains 😣 help me please

Bed suggestions please

This is my 4 year olds bedroom.

Can anyone recommend a bed that would fit in the room but not take all her space ?

She’s 109cm tall not sure if that makes any difference 👀.

She does not have 2 tvs the video was taken whilst re organising😂

4 month regression

I feel like the worlds worst parent.
My baby is 18 weeks old and has become the lightest sleeper. I have tried sleep training, co-sleeping, feeding to sleep, rocking and patting to sleep but he just wakes up as soon as his head hits the crib. I make sure I he not up to long in the day and go over any wake windows and he lets me contact nap or put him in the najel sleep carrier but that doesn’t work at night. I’m not sure if I didn’t put him down enough when he was smaller and that’s had an effect with this now.
I speak to other mums who babies are the same age and they all sleep through the night.
Can any one tell me what I am doing wrong please. This will be week 4 with hardly a sleep now.

Crawling/Forward movement

My LO who just turned 4 month old can roll both ways for last 2-3 weeks. It was fine until she flips on her tummy within one second of putting her down. It doesn't stop there, she is using both arms and feet to move forward and she does manage to get ahead a tiny bit. I don't mind whatever she naturally wants to do but this comes with several minutes of grunting, getting tired and frustrated at herself. What do I do? Send help 🥲

Breast feeding-what to buy?

Hey all,

Planning to breastfeed when the baby comes but also very much will go with the flow as I feel at the time. What did you ladies buy ahead of time and what do you think can wait? I've bought some breast pads and milk bags but not sure if I want to invest in a breast pump just yet?

sleep

My baby is still waking up for milk at age 2, if I don’t give it to her she screams and cries, it’s driving me crazy and I am exhausted every single day because of it, I never feel like I’m getting enough rest. Does anyone have any tips for how to get her to just sleep all the way through the night without waking up? I am tempted to give her melatonin but she’s only 2 and doctors advise against it. Maybe magnesium would be a better option? She wakes up SEVERAL times in the night the way a newborn would… it’s so draining.
