It’s developmentally normal. Just keep gently telling her no or “we don’t throw toys”. We give my son a few warnings and if still doesn’t stop, we will switch to something different and put the toy away. When he gets upset we validate his feelings and tell him that if toys get thrown they have to go away for a bit. He’s gotten so much better already.

We just take the toys away.

He also really likes Toy Story so we say that his toys don't like to be thrown and if he keeps doing that they'll get mad at him like they did with Sid.

My son does the same. I ask if he wants to practice throwing, and we give him a soft ball to throw instead. We tell him if you want to throw, you can only use this so it doesn't break or hurt other people. He asks for the ball to throw over time. Or we remind him that things can break like we've seen with so and so's belonging. The throwing can be triggering though. 😖

Give a target to throw the toys at. Like a laundry basket or cardboard box. Then it’s easy cleanup

We made up games and activities that involved throwing in a safe way but kept the boundary that other toys, especially hard (dangerous) toys are not for throwing. We’d do bean bags in a hoop or container, knock down things with soft balls, playing catch or throwing balls in a container.

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.
