Most recently the toilet seat with the potty seat attached that can flip up has been awesome. </p> <p>Also when DS1 was a baby I know I got good tips, just can't remember them now! I think learning that babies should go to sleep around 7pm came from here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-from-hellobee-that-worked-kid-edition#post-2589493 Thu, 21 Jul 2016 06:36:52 +0000 catlady 2589493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Leaving the pump supplies in the fridge in between pumping sessions instead of cleaning them every time.</p> <p>Limiting screen time to curb tantrums.</p> <p>Using the "binky fairy" to wean a toddler from the pacifier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-from-hellobee-that-worked-kid-edition#post-2589445 Thu, 21 Jul 2016 01:24:32 +0000 lamariniere 2589445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ignoring a tantruming child who is just seeking attention, instead of trying to console.

I've gotten so many great tips that worked from here. The latest was to bring bedtime a little earlier to help with a raging child. Sometimes it takes an outsider to see the problem. :silly: We went from an 8:30 bedtime to a 7:30 bedtime and everyone is a whole lot happier. </p> <p>What is the latest tip you got from hellobee that worked? </p>
