What are some things you’re surprised no one talks/told you about?!

We all hear the classic things about babies… no sleep, blow outs, colic, spit ups, but what about all the things you were surprised no one mentioned?! Mine are: the LOUD grunting newborns do! The crazy sleep kicking and stomping all night! The super loud farts and burps. The adorable baby babble that steals your heart… and the most important part: how babies absolutely steal your heart and fill you with the absolute most intense love you could ever possibly feel.

Beautiful! Just landed in #NewYork. I’m on @Todayshow tomorrow w @HodaAndJenna on how to teach #emotion literacy to kids. So crucial esp in our digital-driven, physically distanced world. Hope you tune in! #parenting https://t.co/qbICBlultF

Help me with child proofing this god forsaken stove

Hi there! Anyone have any creative ideas for how to child-proof these knobs? The casing makes it impossible to use those knob covers. The child proof setting on the stove still allows for the gas to be turned on without the flame (how they consider that the be child proofing is beyond me). Clear tape is our only deterrent but it’s only a matter of time until he’s strong enough to get around that. Thank you for any help. [stove knobs](https://imgur.com/a/nwIx0ui)

Petty Rant: Which secret society do I need to be a part of to get the Amazon holiday calendar?

One of the greatest joys growing up was getting the big fat sears holiday catalog to go through and circle stuff for Santa. My kids, and most kids I imagine, don't get that which I know isn't exactly the biggest deal in the world and yeah yeah materialism is bad, and there is more to Christmas than cheap plastic crap. But the last couple years I've heard about the people getting the Amazon holiday calendar and I get so excited thinking we will get one because we do a lot of shopping on Amazon but no, nothing. I go and search for ways to request this catalog. Hell, I'd buy it for a couple of bucks. But there's never any way to get the physical catalog unless you are in what I imagine to be some super secret exclusive list. Why, Amazon, why do you forsake my family?

I am at a loss…

She’s almost a month old. I love her so much but I didn’t expect it to be this hard. I feed her, change her, and burp her yet she still cries. I’m not even sure when I’m sleeping anymore. I see all the other moms loving this stage and it honestly just makes it worse. What are they doing that I’m not? I hope it gets better soon.

So often as parents, we long to connect with our tweens and teens ... to share inspiration we hope will encourage growth, or simply because we adore and miss them. And so often, our best intentions are met with stone cold resistance. #parentingteens https://t.co/3C8kQoR0gk

People who should not be giving unsolicited advice about parenting a newborn…

Those who ask me what time my newborn’s nap time is. Ummm. What do you mean? Also, those who ask me to let them know what time baby is usually awake so they can visit. That’s not how this works.

Best part about having more than one kid?

Hello! My husband and I are in the process of deciding on if we want a second child. I am an only child so I really don’t know the best parts of having another in the house since my childhood was positive as an only. What are your favorite parts of having more than one??

Looking for articles and studies related to number of hours toddler can be away from caregiver?

Hi. If you know anything about this topic please share. I once read a study?(article?) that said children under the age of 4 have a spike in stress hormones after 4 hours of being away from their primary caregiver. I am interested to know about other studies and articles. Been looking online for a while and can't find anything!

Contact naps..

If your baby was a contact napper/sleeper, when did it stop? Whether their own or with you help. Baby girl is almost 2 months old. She’s pretty much been contact napping/sleeping since birth. Around week 3 or 4 we started to be able to lay her down for night time sleep and her not wake up. We do co-sleep and usually I’m in the bed with her when I do set her down: I nurse to sleep and I don’t mind it. But.. If we set her down for a nap after she’s asleep she last like 20 minutes before waking up again. I’m not really trying to attempt any “sleep training” as I understand babies don’t really have the capacity before they’re 4 months old. I don’t mind contact naps for another 2 months since I’m able to switch off with my partner most of the time of baby wear. I’m just want to know if it gets easier or harder after the 4 months to break contact naps and how some of y’all did it and when you did.

Baby tickles my side while breastfeeding

He just started doing it this week (he’ll be 10 weeks old this week). Whenever I feed him he uses his lower arm to tickle the side of my belly by running his hand along my side and wiggling his fingers. I am extremely ticklish and it’s adorable torture! I’ve started kinda pinning down his lower arm when I feed him. I may have to start wearing a nursing tank all the time instead of a shirt and nursing bra, so something covers my belly. I’m dying! Lol

A new study found that when students reentering high school from juvenile detention introduced themselves via letter to one of their teachers, they were less likely to return to juvenile detention in the next term. @educationweek @JOkonofua @RemingtonKatie https://t.co/cMAZCtazKq
