my kid goes nuts with artificial colors... opposite effect from going to sleep...
hard to find sleepy-time meds that work.
I haven't tried anything and hopefully wont need too until after a year old.

I know. I would never do most of what my mom did in the 80's
I think my parents managed pretty well. They didn't use any magical elixir. I think we were all equally scared of dad giving the LOOK.

Oh man, how did our dads wield so much power with the LOOK!? My boys laugh and amp it up to 11 when I give them the look.

Sadly, my husband has the LOOK as well. When he is off to work deep in my mind I go "please come back!" As I look at my oldest son. Baby also naps best when he's around.

I don't know how my dad scared us to being quiet. I just know even in our adult years. Instead of shutting up, we all ran!

Usually if the look is followed by the hand (or backhand) it carries more weight?

That was my mom. None of us took her serious and she'd cry to dad "why do they listen to you and never me?" I'm sorry mom.
Dad was the guy "so you're that bored are you? I got some stuff you can do. There's the dishes, laundry, here's the vacuum. While you're at it, scrub the bathroom." Yup, he'd wait us out.

I removed the sock today out of laziness. It had been a few days since I swapped it out anyways. :::fingers crossed::::
I hope it works out for you. I haven't seen anything yet. I have kept the skimmer cup on and sockless.


I need my oldest to wake up so I can roast coffee.
