Omg the whining! Also picked potty training (wtf?!? Thank goodness for daycare...) and other, for refusal to take a bottle. LO is 3-1/2 now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pick-5-attributes#post-2235282 Mon, 13 Jul 2015 15:19:00 +0000 catlady 2235282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our biggest in LO's life were sleep, colic, and breastfeeding/allergies aka MSPI and elimination diet. I am so lucky that all of those have been resolved. Things like teething and tantrums are what we deal with now but they are a cakewalk compared to last year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pick-5-attributes#post-2235197 Mon, 13 Jul 2015 14:44:32 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2235197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Potty training has been HELL. It's been over six months of trying to get this done and I am so over it. I wish I could just quit. </p> <p>We did have sleep stuff but nothing worse than most babies/toddlers. </p> <p>And then whining and being difficult since turning 3. The 3's are rough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pick-5-attributes#post-2235185 Mon, 13 Jul 2015 14:39:27 +0000 gingerbebe 2235185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Um, my son had colic and reflux, my milk didn't come in for a week and I had supply issues, so we switched to EPing and supplementation. He had jaundice that landed him in NICU, was/is easily overstimulated, and all of those issues combined led to him not sleeping, so we got this hell spiral of death that we couldn't get out of for 3 months. He screamed so much our pediatrician thought he might have an intolerance or allergy, so I was also on a total elimination diet for 5-6 months. So, I really hope my next kid can do me a solid and maybe just have like one or two of those issues and not all of the above. Because he literally almost made me never want to have another baby again. Although now at 10 months, he's awesome and has been more fun than not since 5 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pick-5-attributes#post-2235171 Mon, 13 Jul 2015 14:30:02 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2235171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>#1--teething and sleep issues<br /> #2--colic (which trumps all--that was hell) and just generally being a higher needs kid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pick-5-attributes#post-2235138 Mon, 13 Jul 2015 14:07:12 +0000 mrbee 2235138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got to experience a bunch of those! Jaundice and constipation for both kids, developmental delay for one, and a few assorted others that feel smaller (sleep, potty training issues, tantrums, etc.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pick-5-attributes#post-2235134 Mon, 13 Jul 2015 14:02:12 +0000 irene 2235134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For myself I picked Nursing Strikes, weight gain, speech / development delay, potty training issues, and constipation.</p> <p>I actually have never dealt with constipation *KNOCK ON WOOD*, but I have dealt with almost everything else other than Jaundice and allergies. Constipation is something that I feel so lucky every day that I didn't/don't have to go through. Nursing strike, weight gain and speech was what really cracked me amongst everything. Colic/acid reflux was hard too and breastfeeding sent me to ER, but looking back it was so long ago, and it all felt ok now haha.</p> <p>So many of you are so lucky to have angelic children!! I can't believe many of you didn't go through any of this :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pick-5-attributes#post-2234654 Mon, 13 Jul 2015 08:56:28 +0000 mrsjyw 2234654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've been really lucky with DS that we haven't dealt with many issues. He's allergic to penicillin, but that's nothing compared some serious food allergies etc.</p> <p>As I'm facing my due date in a couple of weeks, I am really hoping to not have to deal with colic, sleep issues (past nb/infant normalcy), and hope to have a relatively similar bf journey as I did with DS1. Fingers crossed we hit the jackpot twice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pick-5-attributes#post-2234651 Mon, 13 Jul 2015 08:53:03 +0000 kjpugs 2234651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I saw some on there that we didn't deal with that I would NOT want to deal with. We've been lucky! I think things like colic and allergies can be insanely hard and don't wish those on anyone including myself! Sleep issues though are very common and very frustrating. I also voted other- my LO's constant RUNNING OFF is so frustrating and hard to deal with. Birthday parties, parks, the mall- she doesn't want to stay with mommy/daddy she just wants to GO GO GO. Which is great as far as her personality but frustrating to deal with while she's a toddler. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pick-5-attributes#post-2234647 Mon, 13 Jul 2015 08:50:19 +0000 Ajsmommy 2234647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have been so lucky with DD that we haven't had to deal with any issues. But I would pick colic, sleep issues, failure to thrive and allergies... sleep is a biggie for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pick-5-attributes#post-2234645 Mon, 13 Jul 2015 08:49:45 +0000 cat620 2234645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son was a terrible sleeper for a long time. He didn't sleep through the night until he was 18 months old! I don't know if I could handle it if my second sleeps as poorly as my first. I know it made me extra cranky and irritable during the day, especially on the nights when he would wake up anywhere from 3-5 times, and then he would still wakeup at 5:30am for the day! </p> <p>Now that he's two, we struggle with his moodiness and constant whining/crying about every little thing. It drives me crazy! I see other kids who look so happy and content, and my son is always mad about something. And when he gets really angry, he bangs his head on the floor or on the wall. Then he cries even louder, because now he has hurt himself. I have no idea why he does that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pick-5-attributes#post-2234596 Mon, 13 Jul 2015 08:07:39 +0000 MamaBehr 2234596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I picked the ones I haven't had to deal with, with my three. We haven't had colic, jaundice, speech/development delays, public tantrums, and allergies (although my youngest was recently diagnosed with an amoxicillin allergy, that was scary). Made it through all the others! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pick-5-attributes#post-2234589 Mon, 13 Jul 2015 08:02:19 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2234589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only really have 2: allergies and sleep issues. She's also a picky eater, whines a ton, and has her fair share of meltdowns (she's 3), but I'm chalking it up to being a normal kid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pick-5-attributes#post-2234573 Mon, 13 Jul 2015 07:53:04 +0000 LuLu Mom 2234573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1. we had major weight issues with DD1 due to spit up/severe reflux<br /> 2. DD2 refuses a bottle, she's been at daycare a month and still won't take it. (i picked other since she has no issue breastfeeding, she loves it soo much she refuses anything else!)<br /> 3. DD1 has had some serious temper tantrum lately so that's been challenging. </p> <p>I could only come up with 3 otherwise my girls have been very easy kids! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pick-5-attributes#post-2234557 Mon, 13 Jul 2015 07:41:14 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2234557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only have 4...and only voted for DD1 (22 months) as DD2 is only 2.5 months and really really chill right now.<br /> My votes were sleep (the 4 MOTN regression lasted the rest of her first year!) Picky eating (i think she's using it at a form.of control) Whining and teething. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pick-5-attributes#post-2234539 Mon, 13 Jul 2015 07:25:15 +0000 Alivoo01 2234539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS was and still can be a <i>terrible</i> sleeper. However, he's awesome during the day and when we travel so it's one of those things that I debate would I rather trade sleep for good daytime behavior. Most of the time, I say no, but man, lack of sleep sucks major! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pick-5-attributes#post-2234475 Mon, 13 Jul 2015 06:00:37 +0000 Adira 2234475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I picked some random ones because I was pretty lucky with both my boys. But the #1 issue we've had is allergies. Allergies suck. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pick-5-attributes#post-2234457 Mon, 13 Jul 2015 03:05:29 +0000 lemondrop 2234457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've definitely had our 5 from the list, breastfeeding issues, nursing strikes, jaundice, sleep, eating, weight gain, and speech delays. Really the things I would eliminate are the nursing strikes and food/medication allergies (more my own, honestly).</p> <p>While many of these drove me crazy along the way, they also help make my kiddos who they are and me the parent that I am. We are still knee deep in the speech delays, but we have met so many wonderful people and have a great support group because of it. My oldest having jaundice made me appreciate having my second room in with me all that much more. I really got to enjoy the heck out of our time alone. While my oldest and I struggled for a couple months at breastfeeding, it has made me appreciate the hard work and successes we eventually had. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pick-5-attributes#post-2234455 Mon, 13 Jul 2015 02:44:56 +0000 Cherrybee 2234455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have picked my five in the poll.</p> <p>I think, for me, sleep issues is going down as number one because, when you're tired, you're so much less able to deal with all of the other issues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pick-5-attributes#post-2234440 Mon, 13 Jul 2015 00:52:17 +0000 irene 2234440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All kids come with a set of unique attributes that made us pull half of our hair out. what are the 5 most difficult attributes of a child that you had the hardest time with ever, wish you will never have to deal with or could live without?</p> <p>Also share how old your child is currently, and what are the real life challenging attributes he/she has that drives you nuts! </p>
