I tried everything to improve my sleep (husband snores). Meditation, exercise, supplements, guided meditation at night. Turns out good old fashioned advil pm does the trick, unfortunately.
My new Mexican neighbors are having their first till 3 am party and I am not above weaponizing my crying baby by the open window for the next month to disrupt their sleep as much as possible.
My easiest baby also had a flat head, probably because she slept well and would just chill without being held. My v difficult baby doesn't really have any flat spots but is held 24/7
Someone in my circle has a very sweet easygoing 4mo baby and people have been making negative comments about my parenting in comparison to hers.
This would bother me more if her baby didn't have a flat head 😬
Potty training is where your philosophies as a parent come to help or hurt you. You need to be able to lay down the law, once the teaching phase is over. My 2 year old learned, rather quickly, that saying she has to pee gave her immense power over mom and dad. After a full bed
Parents need to teach them, and then they need to have the opportunity to make choices. Those choices won't always be right, and they may cry at the consequences. But you cant do everything to avoid a meltdown, that is taking away their independence.
