25.01.2022 Preschoolers are basically, little pint-sized attorneys. They are amazing at drawing us into their closing arguments, hoping to win the case. When we respond ...to their debate over the mere presence of broccoli on their plate or (gasp!) not enough ketchup ON the plate (been there I get it!) we are only adding fuel to their fire. Instead, model calm. Its just a new food on the plate. Do we really want our kids to learn that new foods will stop showing up on their plates by removing a little piece of broccoli? But what about just having a peaceful family dinner? Especially now in these unprecedented times? Think of it this way this is the time to set some gentle, consistent rules about tantrums over new foods. The family rule is, we always have a bit of everything on our plates. Not a bite, a BIT its about exposure. Watch for my post tomorrow on the eating part but for right now follow the four Cs to get to peaceful family dinners. In my experience, this strategy takes less than a week, and usually just four days. Note: If your child is in feeding therapy, and cannot tolerate new foods due to sensory issues, he/she may not be ready for this step. Always consult with your own therapist to get clear guidelines on where your child is in the step-by-step process to adventurous eating. #melaniepotock #arfid #pickyeaters #slp #ashaigers #toddlers #preschool #feedingdisorders #parenting

07.01.2022 Being a mother in 2020 is hard because: If you stay at home, youre lazy and dependent. If you go to school, youre expected to have the time to study like an 1...8 year old when you have to manage bills, a house, 2-6 peoples entire lives, and your own. If you work, youre letting someone else raise your kids. If you do something nice for yourself, youre being irresponsible with money. If you do nothing for yourself, youve let yourself go. If you go out, youre an awful awful mom. If you stay at home, youre boring. If you spank them, youre abusive. If you dont spank them, youre weak and letting them walk all over you. If youve gained weight, you eat like a pig and dont care about your appearance. If youve lost weight, you MUST be on drugs. If you run a business, youre a scammer. If you dont work, you have no ambition. If you have marriage/relationship problems, you should just leave. If you get a divorce, youre undesirable and unstable. If you dont shower, youre a pig. If you do shower, youre letting your kids sit alone?! If you let them cry it out, youre altering them for life. If you hold them every night, youre coddling them. If you buy them nice name brand clothes, youre spoiling them. If you buy them Walmart clothes, youre selfish and spending all that money on yourself. If you need a break, you dont love them enough. If you never want a break, youre too attached. If you put them in daycare, youre trusting strangers to raise your kids. If you give them to a family member, youre burdening them. If you go on a date, you put men before your kids. If you stay single, youre a prude. If you feed them organic everything, youre a psycho with too much time. If you feed them McDonalds, youre setting them up for obesity. If you cant afford 1500 a month for childcare, figure it out shouldve kept your legs closed If you put the father on child support, youre bitter If theyre dirty at ALL, you dont take care of them. If theyre prim and proper and perfected, youre not letting them just be kids. If you dont allow lying, drugs, sex or alcohol, youre creating a sneaky child. If you do allow these things, youre a terrible example of a parent. If you wear leggings and tshirts, you gave up on yourself. If you dress up and do your makeup, you only care about yourself. If you breastfeed in public, youre disrespecting people and seeking attention. If you bottle feed, you dont care about your babys health. If you vaccinate, youre poisoning them. If you dont vaccinate, youre stupid and your kids will die. If you let them use electronics, youre stunting their brain growth. If you dont allow electronics, youre too old fashioned. If you co-sleep, youre endangering them. If you put them in their own room, youre traumatizing them. If you sport your stretch marks and sagging belly in crop tops and bikinis, youre showing things no one needs to see. If youre extremely modest and cover up, youre ashamed of motherhood and you dont appreciate it. If you say you need a quiet moment to yourself because the noise and frustration is overpowering, youre selfish and dont appreciate these moments, youll miss them If you snap and lash out, youre a monster of a wife/mother who people cant BELIEVE would do that! Basically, its a fucking impossible job. There is no right answer. There is no manual. We all feel like were failing. Were all just winging it. And we know this. Yet, we judge eachother more harshly than anyone else. If youre seeing this, I want you to know that I see you. I see how completely frazzled you are. I see that youve been given the most important job in the world, with absolutely zero training, and youre trying. Youre doing the absolute best that you can to no raise assholes. And thats enough. Today, tomorrow, and always. Tag a mom that needs this _________________________________________ These posts are to love on eachother. The intent is to be kind, because moms have enough stress in life. Sometimes, we just need to respect and understand eachother. Nasty comments and mom shaming will just be deleted. Dont waste the time. Bless.

07.01.2022 One day youll realize you are serving them whole chicken nuggets instead of cutting them each into four pieces. One day instead of a bath they will want to sho...wer, then youll look back and realize their last night time bath was months ago. One day you will realize that the last night that they slept in their crib was the day before. One day youll realize that their car seat is no longer facing backwards and you dont need that little rearview mirror on the head rest anymore. One day you will realize that you havent given them a child proof water bottle in three weeks. One day you will miss brushing their teeth for them because now they can do it themselves. One day you will see them take their own seatbelt off and they dont need your help anymore. You never know when the last day of a precious phase will be, so embrace having to help them a little more, embrace it taking longer to prepare one of their meals, embrace all the effort it takes to get them in and out of the tub because before you know it that phase will be gone and they will be just a little bit bigger in a little bit more independent

We have attached a simple check list, but if you have any worries please contact the Health Visitor Service desk on 03003045076 Monday-Friday Peer supporter helpline over the weekend 07920466660 Your body is amazing it has the ability to make milk for your baby that is unique to them.

04.01.2022 Twins can be seen interacting with each other in the womb as early as 14 weeks. They will intentionally teach for their sibling, stroking their head and bac...k, with longer periods of touch. They prefer to interact with their sibling rather than the placenta or uterus. You see, the bond is created by touch inside the womb. Its only natural that upon birth, they keep searching for each other. Landing in a new world, yet reaching for what is familiar.

04.01.2022 When carrying or wearing your baby in a sling, wrap or carrier, their legs should always be sitting out to the side in the M or froggie position, with suppo...rt under their bottom and legs to the knee. Their legs should not point straight downwards or lie together across your body. Follow the T.I.C.K.S system to keep your baby comfortable and safe when carrying them.
