Punishment for stealing? +1: Keep achievements and punishments separate. From where you are, I'd apologise for taking back the money, explain you were angry and hand it back, then move on to explaining why you were angry, and then move on to the phases above. |

How do we stop our daughter rolling over and waking herself up? @Banang Suggest we move this to chat before it goes any further, but I watched the effects of constantly waking up on my partner and myself, and one of the needs of the baby is to have at least one primary carer who has had enough sleep to make sensible decisions. I do agree that CIO wasn't our first choice, and we held off for some time because of it, but careful controlled crying definitely worked for us. |

How to deal with my son who always wants to have lights on when we go to bed? When you say keeping the light on spoils your sleep, is there only the one room, or could you set up a sleeping space for either one of the parents or the toddler in the other room? |

Is Television appropriate for meal times? +1 for the exception criteria. I can't think of anything that made me bolt my food faster and pay less attention to the meal than wanting to get back to something. By contrast, my little sister and I used to bond over pizza and TV, just talking over the show. But in general, this advice is correct. It's all in the context. |

Dad-to-be needs help finding a changing table +1: We also have two of these pads. Usable anywhere where a surface exists, wipe clean, and once our daughter developed into the wriggliest thing ever to refuse to sit still and be changed, we could easily transfer changing to the floor. |

How do we stop our daughter rolling over and waking herself up? Just started doing this at 7 months. Violent babyrages (we've got early sep anx issues), but it does seem to be working. Wouldn't recommend doing it before they're properly mobile though, as what makes it bearable is that she can clearly move into a more comfortable position. Certainly it's helping the mother to sleep. |
