I went out to strip club w/t what thought to be friend from hs. I was drinking 5-6beers fast within 1hr or 2hr ON AN complete EMPTY stomach. I felt drunk for a little while and then cant recall anything after a certain point that night waking up in my back seat of my own car! with vomit on myself and on the floor,sneakers etc. the first thing I did when I woke up was assume I may have been raped & very paranoid I went to touch my area and I had gone to the bathroom halfway in my pants..and I went home took a nap threw up later. my anus did not hurt one bit…but I was so paranoid and scared I didnt remove the fecal matter lodged in my rectum. It turned hard and I just left it in me until the next day. It hurt to remove it due to my hair I tore it painfull..my anus didnt hurt so I thought maybe I wasnt raped…but my area felt kind of weird and I had hemroids but painless. uncomfortable I figured this could have been from going in my pants and leaving it shoved up there for 24+hrs which I read you can get from leaving objects in your anus. or I was raped that night.

Am I missing something here?……

If a newborn/ infant is worn/ carried the majority of the time, are there any pros to having an infant carrier…. other than dining out & the convenience of letting them finish their short nap if they fall asleep in the car and then have to be moved?
Thanks everyone (no thumb’s down from me, btw). We have 2 infant carriers, my oldest used one and my youngest used his as a car seat and that’s it. My husband wants to use one w/ our 3rd child but I don’t see the point. Just want to make sure I’m not missing something.

Do you quit letting your child use the pacifier?

Do you switch to a toddler bed?
From a toddler bed to a traditional bed?

Do you allow your child a pillow?

Do you quit covering outlets?

Do you quit using baby monitors when they are asleep?

Do you quit using baby gates around stairs?

I’m curious as to what your family has done - or what the experts say.
Thanks!
Do you quit letting your child use the pacifier?
My oldest quit at 18 months - but he was an easy child (and I was pregnant w/brother and didn’t want any confusion over what was a baby item and what wasn’t) - My youngest is 2 and still has it at nap/night, but never any other time. I’d like to break him of it, but it is hard (both boys sleep in the same room - space issue)

Do you switch to a toddler bed?
Oldest @ 2.5 so baby brother could have the crib. Youngest, at around 20 months - was ready…

From a toddler bed to a traditional bed?
When we have the finances/space…

Do you allow your child a pillow?
When they start to sleep in a toddler bed!

Do you quit covering outlets?
We still have ours covered. Our oldest is 4, and still attempts to mess with them occasionally…

Do you quit using baby monitors when they are asleep?
We still use them - hubby is dependent…

Do you quit using baby gates around stairs?
We still use it (ages 4 & 2)…
Thanks to everybody who answered. I wanted to get peoples opinions on when some of these safety measures aren’t needed anymore.

I do strongly agree that the BIGGEST factors in determining whether a particular safety feature is needed or not is family situations and child’s personalities. Because there is no right/wrong answer on this - I am going to have a tough time picking best!

Once again, thank you

My daughter just turned two years old and she is still sleeping in her crib at home for both nap and bedtime. We are talking about starting to move her to her toddler bed, but even when we talk about it, she has NO INTEREST and will even protest when we have tried to physically put her in there. Now, she goes over to a home daycare during the day and sleeps in a regular bed there, so I know that she can do it and isn’t afraid. Does anyone have any fun tips to make her more excited about it? We are pregnant with our third and will need the crib by about may of next year, so we don’t feel the need to push it yet, but would like to start the transition to give her enough time.

I just moved my 20 month old daughter into her princess toddler bed the day before yesterday. She stays in it all night, no problem, she’s always been a good sleeper. But, when I try to get her to take a nap during the day, it’s impossible. I can hear her playing around in her room and I know she is not napping.

Hey, is anyone here really good at interpreting dreams? If so, may you please tell me what this dream I just had a couple of hours ago mean?

I took a short nap of about 30 minutes - the dream was about myself and my fiance. We were both in a car and one of us was driving (I don’t recall whether it was me or him, most likely it was me driving - btw. I don’t drive IRL, he does), so anyway I guess I was driving real fast like about 100+ mph on the highway because I guess I liked the rush.

He was on the passenger seat and I was going so fast that all of a sudden I lost control of my car and we went into a "field" and the next thing I know I crashed the car onto a tree, he survived, but I died. Also, it’s weird because I felt like I died in real life (my subconscious told me "you died" and I felt "dead") it’s weird! It was like a lucid dream. My whole body went NUMB, then my son woke me up crying (he was asleep).

What does this mean?!

My daughter is two and we just bought her a toddler bed for her room. She is only two, but she is very strong and tore her crib up. We cannot afford another crib, and think she is big enough for a big bed. Its only been two nights, last night she did really good, but she still hasnt taken a nap on it or gone down easily. Im wondering if anyone else has put their 2 year old in a toddler bed and how they handled it.. Thanks!

My 2yr old is used to falling asleep for her nap after I breast fed her.

How did you successfully put your recently weanted toddler to nap?
Thanks for your help.

My daughter is 20 months old and will only take naps at home in her toddler bed. I am a stay at home mom so she is used to being at home everyday, but it becomes an issue when we go visit family or stay in a hotel. I am at my parents house visiting today and she skipped her nap. I can tell she is sleepy, but she just won’t lay down and fall asleep…any ideas?

My 13 month old daughter currently sleeps in a crib, but she always wants to sleep in my bed when I lay her down for a nap.She doesn’t want to when I am there, but just when she is going to sleep on her own.Whenever I go to stores and there are toddler beds, she always runs and climbs on them to lay down.Is it worth a shot or is it still way too early?

I am worried he is going to start trying to refuse naps. What can I do to prevent this?

He must nap, and the crib is not a problem at all right now, except he is getting big enough to climb out of it, so he needs a bed.

I want to make sure it is a smooth and easy transition, and I want him to know the toddler bed does not mean naps are now optional in any way.
