baby mafuyu loves tummy times.. it's so fitting for an infant like her

Tummy time!! with Baby Mapupu !! ꒰ᐢ. .ᐢ꒱

(Mafuyu Icon Credit: @twinypwupy )

omg this is so cute! ૮꒰ྀི∩´ ᵕ `∩꒱ྀིა

When Mafuyu is in a little infant baby space, her caregivers usually place her on her little baby mat on her back, to let her enjoy the toys dangling above!!! ૮꒰ྀི˶• ༝ •˶ ྀི꒱ა

But after a while to make sure she doesn’t strain herself from being in the same position for too long, they give her some tummy time! ૮꒰˶ᵔ ᗜ ᵔ˶꒱ა

To help her prop up properly they always put her favourite plushie under her arms to keep her up and safe! ໒꒰ྀི ^ ^ ꒱ྀིა

She always has someone sitting near her watching her and playing with her to keep her entertained!!

Although she always has a paci in her mouth when she’s in babyspace, her caregivers can always see her eyes crinkle with happiness when she’s in tummy time and they’re talking to her and singing to her!! ଘ꒰⑅ ´ ˘ ` ⑅ ꒱♡

To add onnnnnnnnnnn!!!! Sometimes when she’s in babyspace and needs her tummy time, her caregivers let her lay on top of them and talk to her and rub their noses against her in a bunny kiss!!

AKA: tummy time with cuddles and bunny kisses! Makes baby mafufu sooo happy ૮꒰ྀི ⸝⸝․․⸝⸝ ྀི꒱ა

Bonus!

(Sorry I know ur referring to the thing on top not this don’t mind me^^)

Baby mafuyu loooooooooooooves belly rubs too!! Sooo much!

She just turns on her back and looks at her caregivers while suckling on her pacifier waiting for them to rub her tummy ໒꒰ྀི´• ˕ •` ꒱ྀིა

When she’s feeling sick or nauseous or anxious, tummy rubs always soothe her down! ໒꒰ྀི｡- ˕ -｡꒱ྀི১

When she’s feeling bored and fussy, blowing raspberries on her tummy always cheers her up hehe ૮꒰˶ᵔ ᗜ ᵔ˶꒱ა˖⁺‧₊˚

Also tickling her tummy, it’s her only ticklish spot and whenever they do she lets out the cutest baby giggles and it makes her caregivers hearts burst from joy!

I love baby mafufu!!! Cutest baby ever ଘ꒰⑅ ´ ˘ ` ⑅ ꒱♡

last one art with my current age, I made a lil doodle for @tr85n aren't they just adorable, Mordecai and Rigby into babies and girls lol, I always imagine these 2 making shenanigans

[emile-hides]

I feel like Eugene regresses to a young kid but doesn't really understand what it is so he fights it off as much as he can because it scares him and also he doesn't like feeling vulnerable (but when his memory was wiped he didn't have much reason to fight it, especially with 3 people calling him their son, so he just kinda went with it). When he gets his memory back, at first he doesn't like them treating him like a kid because it feels good and makes his slip which freaks him out a little. I have a few ideas for how they could figure it out:

- Rosé regresses, prompting an explanation from Jancy, and after thinking about it for a while Eugene decides that's what's been happening to him and tells the gang about it

- Rosé regresses when Jancy isn't around and starts taking care of Eugene like he's a little kid, he freaks out a little, the gang catches on and explains it all to him

- Eugene slips while Jancy is around and she notices immediately, gently explains to him what's going on, and helps him get used to it

Once he's all integrated into the group, I think he'd really like being taken care of, and they'd all delight in it as well (especially Rosé when she's regressed), and he'd fit right into their dynamic perfectly.

Sorry this ended up kinda long I hope you like it!

I ADORE IT YOU'RE SO CORRECT!!!!

Kind of half regressed Gene in season 2 my beloved. Eugene the kinda guy to be like "I don't know what that is and I don't have time to unpack it right now" shoving his very valid Trauma based regression into the back of his mind.

What I'd love the most is after Eugene realizes what's going on he wants to try it at home in a controlled environment first, so he's trying to explain to Felix what he's locking himself in his room for and Felix is like "Oh, it's kitten time?"

"What?"

"You know when you become a kitten? Or, what's the human version? Baby? You become baby? That's what you're doing right?"

I like the idea of Felix, again, knowing everything the entire time, but thinking the other person not knowing was part of the game, so he doesn't question it. It's a very funny part of Felix's character that he just assumes everyone around him already knows everything he knows, and is unaware he's actually crazy observant and ahead of everyone for most things. (that's mostly headcanon tho canon Felix is kinda a dumb-dumb but that's okay he's a cat <3)

Also Jancy being the one to catch Eugene slipping and inform him is very funny because I feel like when Rosé explained it to her it was a very personal description of regression and not at all backed up with research or other community notes, because Rosé is very independent like that.

So that means Jancy listened to Rosé and decided to so her own research on the topic (she does this with everything they talk to her about, it's the 'tism), which is just very funny to me to think about Jancy finding herself on Agere Tumblr squinting at a pastel pink on cloud pink text post of someone's DNI. The visual is getting to me. She doesn't know what half these words mean.

[popcorn-plots]

I wonder if I unconsciously age regress. because sometimes when I get really stressed or tired, I start to act all silly and kind of aloof, I laugh a lot and I very much act like a smaller kid, and sometimes after I do that, I can get really tired and moody and I just want to cry and I'm not sure if this is my "Tired Toby" thing I have going on, an ADHD/Autism thing, or if I'm actually regressing in my age

Infant Sleep Trainer and Best Pediatrician in Singapore: Ensuring Your Baby’s Well-Being

When it comes to nurturing the health and development of your infant, having access to expert advice is crucial. In Singapore, parents often seek guidance from skilled infant sleep trainers and pediatricians to ensure their baby thrives physically, emotionally, and behaviorally. This article explores the significance of both, helping you choose the best professionals for your child.

Why Infant Sleep Training Matters

Sleep is essential for your baby’s development. Newborns and infants often struggle with sleep patterns, which can lead to exhaustion for both the baby and the parents. An experienced infant sleep trainer can help establish healthy sleep routines tailored to your child’s unique needs.

An infant sleep trainer provides:

Customized Sleep Solutions: By understanding your baby’s temperament and family lifestyle, a sleep trainer develops a plan that ensures restful nights.

Parental Support: Sleep consultants guide parents on creating optimal sleep environments and handling challenges like night wakings or sleep regressions.

Expertise in Gentle Methods: They use evidence-based, age-appropriate strategies that prioritize the baby’s emotional and physical well-being.

With over 8 years of experience, Petite Dreamers Sleep Solutions has become a trusted name in Singapore and Southeast Asia. Their dedication to resolving sleep challenges for children from birth through primary school ensures a peaceful night for the entire family.

Choosing the Best Pediatrician in Singapore

The right pediatrician ensures your infant’s health milestones are met while offering expert advice on nutrition, vaccinations, and general care. Singapore is home to some of the most reputable pediatricians who excel in delivering compassionate and professional care.

Key qualities of a top pediatrician include:

Comprehensive Experience: Choose a doctor with a strong track record in handling diverse infant health concerns.

Approachable and Understanding: A good pediatrician fosters trust with both the child and the parents.

Well-Equipped Clinics: Facilities with modern diagnostic tools ensure accurate assessments and treatments.

Whether it’s for routine check-ups, growth monitoring, or specialized medical care, Singapore’s pediatricians work closely with families to prioritize children’s health and happiness.

Why Combine Both Experts?

Collaborating with Petite Dreamers, an infant sleep trainer and a trusted pediatrician creates a holistic approach to your child’s well-being. While pediatricians address physical health, sleep trainers ensure restful nights, promoting better growth and development.

Investing in both services gives parents peace of mind, knowing their baby is receiving the best possible care during their formative years.

Actually you know what I don't think I've really seen anyone talk about how TYPICAL of Buck it is to revert to sex as a coping mechanism. Like yeah he's absolutely grown and changed from Buck 1.0 but let's look at his last year or so from his perspective:

Buck discovers new facets of his sexuality. He starts dating a dude who turned him into a feral little jealousy gremlin

Bobby leaves the 118 and leaves them with fuck ass Gerrard. Bobby almost dies.

Buck has a BOYFRIEND and he sees a future with him

Buck finds out something about his boyfriend that he can't square with, and gets frankly awful advice about what his boyfriend went through to make him Like That. He also continues to be not taken seriously about himself, his feelings, his wants and desires, his concerns

Buck gets dumped. He pushed too hard too fast as he tends to do and he gets dumped for it. Rinse and repeat

All of his friends immediately jump down his throat for wanting to talk to the dude who dumped him. He bakes. And bakes. And bakes and bakes and bakes and it doesn't stop him from missing the guy who dumped him

His best friend leaves. And while Buck can understand it it hurts enough to make him act a little out of pocket.

(Can we talk about the way everyone in his life infantalizing him absolutely makes him behave in childish ways in response? No? Okay I'll shut up.)

His sister gets kidnapped? And almost dies?

He moves out of a place he's lived in for five years to help his best friend. He cannot sleep in the new place.

He tries to make new friends but the thing is he already has a best friend and right now all he has available to him are stories about his best friend. So he tells them. To exhaustion.

So yeah. He's disconnected from a lot of his support systems because they just have other shit going on. (I do not blame them for not making him their number one priority and Buck doesn't either but they're still ...missing.)

He runs into his ex. His ex gives him a SCRAP and what does Buck do? He turns it immediately to sex. And he thinks to himself: this is what I'm good for this is what I can offer THIS will have to be enough even though this man has validated me: the way my brain works, the tangents I go on, the over-reactions I have and the way I get obsessive. But Tommy dumped him. So. Sex will have to be enough for Buck.

Like I just think we're undervaluing exactly how much this regression to fuckboy Buck makes sense. He's not doing it to be an asshole. It's a fucking survival instinct and he's been in survival mode since the second Tommy dumped him

Being out of leftist spaces also makes me realize how regressive and racist they really are. From how they act like Indigenous people are magical beings who never alter their environments ever, to their infantalizing of Palestinians, to their refusal to acknowledge how damaging and oppressive Arab colonization was and still is. Also how moderm day slavery is acceptable and even shrug worthy because white people aren't doing it. Then ofcourse their levels of antisemitism are off the charts to top all of that off.

Thank you for being a voice of reason and logic and humanity it really does help throughout all of this

I couldn't agree more - since being out of these spaces, I see them so much clearer and everything you've said is bang on. Their racism is hidden behind sanctimony and incredibly patronising "concern" - this is so obvious when they continuously speak over and ignore the communities they purport to care about in favour of highly performative posturing.

Baby vs. Toddler Sleep Training: Key Differences and Effective Strategies

Sleep training is an essential part of helping children develop healthy sleep habits, but parents should be aware that the approach can vary greatly between babies and toddlers. While both age groups can benefit from sleep training, their developmental stages and sleep needs require different methods and levels of support. Here, we’ll explore how sleep training differs for babies and toddlers and provide strategies tailored to each age group.

Sleep Training for Babies: Setting the Foundation

1. Age and Developmental Milestones: Sleep training for babies typically begins around 4 to 6 months of age, once they are developmentally capable of self-soothing and can sleep for longer periods. At this stage, babies are transitioning from newborn sleep cycles, which are shorter and include frequent night wakings, to more defined sleep patterns. The focus during this period is on building foundational sleep habits that support long-term healthy sleep.

2. Gentle Training Methods: Babies respond well to gradual sleep training methods that emphasize gentle techniques. The Ferber method and gentle pat-and-shush techniques are commonly used to help babies learn to fall asleep independently. The Ferber method, which involves timed intervals of checking and comforting without picking up the baby, helps them gradually adapt to sleeping without external assistance. For those who prefer a no-cry approach, methods like offering soft reassurance while keeping the baby in their crib can be effective.

3. Creating Consistent Routines: A consistent bedtime routine is vital for babies. Establishing a calming routine that might include a bath, a lullaby, and dimmed lights can signal to your baby that bedtime is approaching. This consistency helps them feel safe and know what to expect, making the transition to sleep smoother.

4. Addressing Sleep Associations: Sleep training for babies often involves breaking sleep associations, such as rocking, feeding, or being held until they fall asleep. These associations can make it difficult for a baby to return to sleep when they wake up during the night. The goal is to help babies learn to self-soothe by gradually reducing these external aids while still providing comfort and reassurance.

Sleep Training for Toddlers: Managing Independence and Behavioral Challenges

1. Increased Awareness and Milestones: Toddlers, typically aged 1 to 3 years, have more advanced cognitive and emotional development compared to babies. This increased awareness means they may test limits, experience separation anxiety, or struggle with fears related to bedtime. Sleep training for toddlers often involves strategies that account for their growing sense of independence and ability to express their preferences.

2. Transitioning to a Big Kid Bed: One of the major changes for many toddlers is transitioning from a crib to a bed. This transition can be exciting but can also lead to challenges as toddlers test their newfound freedom. It’s important to set clear boundaries, such as staying in bed after being tucked in, while making the new sleep space inviting and comfortable.

3. Structured Methods and Clear Boundaries: Toddlers respond well to structured sleep training methods that include clear rules and boundaries. The gradual withdrawal method, where parents slowly reduce their presence over time, helps toddlers adjust to falling asleep independently. Unlike babies, toddlers may need more explicit communication and reinforcement. For example, parents can use a reward system, such as stickers or praise, to encourage staying in bed and following bedtime routines.

4. Addressing Bedtime Resistance and Fears: Toddlers may resist bedtime due to separation anxiety or fears such as the dark. Using a nightlight, providing a comfort object, or leaving the door slightly open can help alleviate their anxiety. If they express fear or discomfort, responding calmly and reassuringly can help them feel secure.

5. Staying Consistent with Routines: Maintaining a consistent routine is just as important for toddlers as it is for babies, but it might include more interactive elements to engage their independence. Activities such as letting the toddler choose a bedtime story or picking out pajamas can help them feel involved in the process and less resistant to bedtime.

6. Handling Boundary Testing: As toddlers test boundaries, it’s crucial for parents to stay firm yet loving. Consistency in responding to night wakings or attempts to leave the bed is key. Parents should set clear expectations and follow through with calm, non-negotiable responses to maintain structure and reduce confusion.

Final Thoughts

While sleep training for both babies and toddlers focuses on helping them learn to sleep independently, the approaches need to reflect their developmental stages and unique needs. For babies, gentle and supportive methods help establish foundational sleep skills. In contrast, toddlers require strategies that take into account their independence, potential fears, and boundary-testing behavior. By understanding these differences and using tailored strategies, parents can set their children up for successful sleep habits that benefit the entire family.

Patience, consistency, and adaptability remain essential in both cases to help children transition smoothly into healthy sleep routines.

cg ! ambessa medarda with an infant regressor headcanons !!

requested by anon ! i don't tend to have cg ambessa thoughts like i said in my last ambessa post but i've gotten a bunch of requests for her so i will be giving the people what they want ! (*-`ω´- )人 again i did my best to write her in character but apologies if she strays ooc. anon brought up an infant regressor as a chance for her to heal and redo motherhood and i found that a touching thought. thanks for the idea nonnie , i hope these are satisfactory ! (♡ˊ͈ ꒳ ˋ͈) ack i got a bit carried away , once i got going the thoughts overflowed. arcane masterlist here , upcoming masterlist here

mentioned it in my last ambessa post but ambessa calls you "my kit" or "my cub" to your face and refers to you simply as "the kit / cub" to her servants. "be a dear and get the kit a bottle" versus , "ah ah , drink slowly , my cub."

ambessa who holds you very gently in her lap while you drink your bottles , patting your tummy when you get full. one large hand guides the bottle while the other arm keeps your head upright what with you being so tiny.

she often tickles your tummy , kissing it and blowing raspberries. she chuckles , a deep rich chortle of delight as you blush and giggle , kicking your feet happily.

she always dresses you up nicely in the colors of the medarda crest so everybody will know you're her baby. she'll coo at you in your little outfits , quite satisfied with herself for dressing you up so well. she'll carry you over to a mirror , pointing at your reflection. "that's you , my kit. don't you look dashing , i've done quite the job , don't you think ?" she'll chuck your chin as you giggle and clap enthusiastically.

your regression is healing not only for you but also for ambessa. she freezes the first time you call her "mama" or something in that vein , thoroughly shocked and not quite sure how to feel at first. the ever stoic ambessa finds herself tearing up for the first time in God knows how long , a smile pulling at her full lips as tears of joy and of pride threaten to fall.

ambessa finds herself comforted by how clingy you are , how much you need her. it's a big job to take care of an infant yet she welcomes your regression , scooping you into her big strong arms and cradling you ever so gently , hugging you tightly as if to reassure herself that you're really there.

ambessa takes no nonsense , holding you to her high standards. of course with your being so tiny she doesn't have too many rules in place but she does not take kindly to tantrums or needless fussing.

ambessa practices her tone when she's alone , careful to be sure never to snap or speak too sharply to you. it takes work and rehearsal ; admittedly she's a bit rough around the edges in the early stages of your regression.

ambessa loves to hold you whenever possible. she's strong enough to pick you up with little effort , keeping you on her hip as she tends to her smaller duties , bouncing you when you start to fuss. "oh hush now pet ," she'll soothe , reaching into a pocket before coming up with a red and black teether.

ambessa spoils her baby rotten , often pretending to be shocked when more parcels with your name on them arrive. she has them addressed to "the kit" as mentioned in the last post , picking up the tag on an item and tutting approvingly. she has to help you open the items with your being just so itty bitty. she'll brandish that plushie you were eyeing , a wide smile spreading across her face as your eyes widen and you babble excitedly , squirming on her hip as you reach for it.

ambessa who is initially a bit squeamish at the thought of changing diapers , something she often left for the servants when her biological children were small. although she's anxious in the beginning she is so very gentle with you , using just enough powder and kissing your tummy when you wriggle or squirm. "ah ," she'll sigh with satisfaction when you're all finished. "there we go , nice and clean." she'll nod approvingly. "you did well , my darling ," she'll add , kissing you softly on the head.

ambessa who will sing to you to get you to sleep , holding you in her arms , rocking you gently. her singing voice is a bit rusty , hasn't had much use since mel was small , but she sings you soft lullabies , spinning the mobile above your crib for you to watch.

ambessa who can be a bit of a snob , only buying the best for her baby. she will only buy items of the utmost quality , saying no if she feels something you want is cheaply or shoddily made. she often has toys or other items commissioned to be specially made so that they will be just perfect.
