The no stage
Anyone else’s may 23 babies reached their ‘no’ phase 😂🫠
My little boy has learnt yes and no and the context they are used in over the last month or so and now it’s just constant. I’ll ask him if we should get dressed, change his nappy, brush teeth etc and it’s always no and I feel bad being like well you have too😂😂 he also says it with such an attitude. Or I’ll ask for a cuddle and he says no🥺 I hate this word 🤯😂

Oh absolutely. She’s much stronger on no than she is on yes. So I’ve stopped phrasing things as yes and no questions as much as possible. So more like ‘I’m going to change your nappy now, which book would you like while I do that, x or y?’. Or ‘we’re going to brush your teeth now, do you want to do it with mummy or daddy?’. Not saying it always works and there’s still pushback but it’s reducing some of the ‘no’ and upset when she has to do it anyway! And if it’s things like cuddles and she says no I respect that, as I want her to listen to me when I say no.
Yep been doing this a while she kind of stopped but Is now back to saying it for everything like Charlotte I’ve tried to change hoe I say stuff too

Ahh same!! My little boy learned no a while ago and used it in context for ages but wouldn’t over-use it. Now however, everything is no and he means it!! It’s like a few months ago, he thought “no” meant “not really but ok, I will” but now it means “not even if my life depended on it!” It’s making everything so difficult to decide what he actually wants when everything is no!
