So... when I get to day 20 - what do I do if the water level drops? I'm having to fill 1/2 side of the cup every day or two. I know I'm supposed to fill both sides at lockdown - but isn't lockdown 3 days? Can I lift the incubator to keep the water level up? I'm using the Brinsea Mini Eco Advanced.

Some folks put in wet paper towels or sponges, or small containers of water to help with the humidity. Others use tiny tubes or syringers to add water through ventilation holes.

I may have given it to Goodwill, but we used this super cheesy video called "It's Potty Time" with our youngest boy. It worked for him. I'll see if we still have it - but I doubt it. He went poopie for the first time at his birthday party. It was pretty funny. Bob and I went into the bathroom and sang the "He is a super dooper pooper" song to him. He came out beaming, but our guests thought we had completely gone off our rockers. LOL!

Well if it worked, it wasn't that cheesy after all.

That is a hysterical mental image of your son being serenaded in the bathroom!
Best wishes to the the folks who are struggling with potty training.

My son used to grind his teeth REALLY bad. The dentist and Drs all said it was normal but it was damaging his enamel.

He started going to the chiropractor and doesnt grind anymore. On occasion, if he does, we take him in and hes good.

I used to grind my teeth a lot, so loud it woke up my husband, so he'd wake me up to make me stop. And I frequently had really bad dreams, too. When my ex went thru pain mgmt treatments he came home with "relaxation" exercises on cassette tapes which he had to listen to several times a day... including bedtime. So I had to listen too. After about 2 or 3 weeks I noticed the bad dreams were gone, and my husband was no longer waking me up during the night to tell me to stop grinding my teeth!

Eventually we stopped listening. After a couple months the old symptoms returned so I would haul out the tapes again. It always worked for me. It was such a huge relief for me! I'm a real advocate of this approach! I've noticed that hypnotists use very similar techniques. In general it was a process of systematically tensing and relaxing every muscle group, from the tip of your toes to the top of your head. That was followed by peaceful visualizations.

What I remember most was my resistance. I wanted to rip those tape out of the machine and throw them in the fire! I *really* hated having this #%^ soothing voice telling me what to do! But I was a captive audience. Boy am I glad I was!!!

Maybe your daughter could benefit from giving this a try, it's a lot cheaper and easier than the alternatives.
