IMO, daycare should be helping you with potty training.

It sounds like she is forgetting whether she has diapers on or not. That’s something you can only do by going cold turkey on diapers - minus nap and sleeptime. Then immediately off again.

I gotta try a new place then. I mean, the soap is nice but that was some sticker shock.

Also, put a hair tie or rubber band on the soap dispenser. You’ll use the amount of soap you actually need, and your hands will come out cleaner.

Its all well and good until you try to refill a $10 bottle of hand soap and they charge you $50

• Babies yes. I don’t think 1 year olds like the op are in that category. Both I and my friend with a baby recently asked our separate pediatricians that question - and they both responded with what I said.
• https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/sids-risk-by-age. The highest risk is 1 to 4 months old. That’s not op. This is about assessing risk vs other risks - like PPD and health of the parents. It’s ok for you to take that risk assessment one way and others to do differently.
• what I’ve heard is the same - there’s no difference in sleep trained vs other babies at the end of the day. So another way of saying that you can balance the impact on the parents and baby. We needed to do that for us. It’s ok if you didn’t need to.

Yes to the milk vs solids. Kids are smart and they know if they can get the bottle they will skip on other foods so they can get more of that.
My 3 yr old niece kept getting a big glass of cows milk before bed. As a result, she wasn’t really eating dinner. Was underweight. They cut milk out and suddenly she’s eating a lot more.

It depends on what steps you’re willing to take. 1 yr olds can sleep for that long uninterrupted.

OK. I recently had to go thru a lot of this and here’s my experiences. Every child is different… But there are some points here I think I can help with.

• night feedings. Talk to your Dr. if you don’t believe me. But I asked ours when our baby was 6 months old. The Dr. said that the baby was completely possible of sleeping thru the night - they did not need extra food in the night. They just wanted it. That’s fine … but it seems like that is affecting their sleep.
• location. Both of our kids slept better outside of our room. Noticeably so. I think us turning in our sleep or snoring is what triggered them to wake up. From tossing and turning and waking up to going much longer before wakeups. I subscribe to the view that your job as a parent is to minimize sadness in the long term - and sleep training does that - you have a bad week and at the end of it you’re kid can sleep in a room by themselves.
• sleep training - The goal being that your kid knows that their bed is a safe place to fall asleep - and to do that they need to fall asleep there by themselves. Wait until they’re sleepy, almost falling asleep, place into bed, pat pat on back for 10 seconds, then leave. Let them cry. Wait 10 mins and come back, comfort, get breathing even. Then place back in bed and let cry. Repeat a few times and they fall asleep. A few nights of that should be enough as long as you stick to the schedule.
• when child was 6-9 months, we did the transition to falling asleep by themselves. At first we got 8 to 3 am. Wife was doing night feeding, just to let children sleep so that she could go back to sleep quicker. Once we quit that by me stepping in instead at nights, child stopped waking up in middle of night. We were getting kid to sleep for 8-5. Now at almost 1 yr we’re getting 8-630.

I liked putting them horizontal in my arms, and then moving them up and down vertically … like pure up/ down at a bit fast.
