:lol: Boy that put a smile on MY face...sorry. I had one who would crawl into the crib and the other, an army of twelve could not keep her in the crib. I feel your pain.

Maybe, bribing may help. Take a nap and go to sleep and when you wake up we can ....go to the park and play.

Good luck

I had two monkeys myself and couldn't help but smile.

We used to make sure they had a book in their crib or a quiet toy, with the sides down when they went down to nap. We childproofed the room real good and put a hook and eye lock on the outside of the door. They were told that they could read or play if they woke up and that Mommy or Daddy would get them when they were done with their rest.

It was not unusual for a bit to find my DD napping in a drawer or in all her clothes in a nest on the floor at the end of nap time but it did seem to work for us.

Also if you have a nap time routine it helps. An hour or so before nap time get her prepared by spending some quiet time reading or just hugging and watching a quiet TV show or listening to music. After a bit she will associate whatever quiet activity you do with a soon to come rest time. It helps a great deal also to try and make sure you keep to a consistant schedule if you don't already.

I hope you get some rest soon and I have to say I sure do miss those days. Even the screaming tantrums.

I know some moms who have used a crib "tent". It's meant to keep cats out when the child is an infant, but works to keep kids in, too. Can also try a gate across the door, (may not work if can climb that too). A sleeping bag on the floor, or special arrangement may help. Hope things are better soon!

yeesh! I havent even thought about that possiblitiy yet. I am having a case of the terrible twos but no climbing out of crib.. once he is in, he will eventually fall asleep, we have him on a rigid schedule to get up every morning at 730, he now wakes up before 7!!! Mommy wanted a bit more sleep, that is when we have the room baby proofed, put elmo on the dvd player and mommy gets another 45 minutes!! so promptly around 1130-12 the kid is ready to pass out!! he wont sleep at the sitters yet though, we still have to work on that.. but he is at least doing it here!

I hope you can get a solution soon! I feel your pain!!

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!
