I use this to wean my goat kids. Goat kids are a lot of fun but you find out those little cute goats can turn in to total terrors on their mothers. We found out our first year we had the joy of 2 baby goats and we got a boy (Buckling) and a Girl (Doeling) We found that the buckling was way more needy and would terrorize his mother if she tried to wean him off I mean he was the devil sometimes to her. Our doeling weaned off beautiful with no assistance needed The buckling was a whole other story. We tried to separate him he would scream for hours on end or would find a way out of the fence. Then he would get back in the fence with mom and chase her till she about gave out I mean chase her making her run till she was exhausted. once he wore her out he would go for her udder/teat if she tried to kick or get away he would ram her in the side multiple times and chase her more, or latch on to her teat and lay down causing her to pull her udder and inflict pain on her udder so he could continue to nurse I watched him grab her lay down she tried to step over him he clamped down and would not let go once she stopped moving he nursed till he was full then would let her go. he was plenty old enough to be off but she could not wean him herself. We learned from other goat raisers that most male goats do not take moms hint of get off nor anyone's hint of your to old to nurse. They have to be removed from her all together no later than three months old ( due to male goat can breed at 3 months old and they decided to have milk with their feed and hay and refuse to leave mom alone)
So, Even after I banded him at 8 weeks which is normal time to castrate males ( fixed him so he cannot breed) he was on mom at 7 months old still nursing our efforts had failed over and over, our doe got so irate by him that she would scream and yell. we finally found the best wean date in the Almanac and took him from her and sent him to another farm. Our doe was so quiet you would have never thought her kid was removed from her. This was a first year but we are headed into our second year more wise.
Fast forward - We are due to have more baby goats this month ( March 2023) I am already looking for the best wean dates to remove our male goats so mama doe is not ready to pull her hair out dealing with them. This was a tough lesson but weaning is very important and getting a best time of year makes life so much better.
So my Lil boy was a preemie, he was born at 7months and 3 days. I'm having the hardest time to potty train him. He will be 4 in January. He will pee all day long in the potty but not poo. I need help.
My son was also preemie 32 weeks. he did the same and would pee in potty but at night he still wore diaper so then he would do number 2 also.
On his on he just start a few months ago, on his lil potty going 2. I believe like mine yours will go in a few months.
My boy turns 5 on Saturday, so trust me I thought this is crazy he will go to kindergarten. He also around the same time stopped even wanting to wear a diaper in the bed at night. He tells everyone and is such, a proud big boy.
I do have the passy problem. 😂 One problem at a time mama bear. Ur doing great
My boy turns 5 Saturday
Change to cloth diapers. Get a diaper pail. When the child poo's dump out the diaper in the bath stool, but don't clean the diaper. Place it in the diaper pail. When it comes time to wash the diapers - do not empty the diaper pail of water. Have you child reach into the diaper pail and hand you the diapers until all have been removed. As he does so, make the comment that it stinks and if he would use the bathroom stool he wouldn't have to get the diapers out of the diaper pail. This worked with my daughter at (2) years of age. She is now 54 years of age and has a Masters Degree in Psychology. I do not think it had a negative impact on her. On my nephew (at 4), I purchased him some little boy BVD's and told him that they were MINE and he better not poo in Uncle's panties. He never messed a one. But until I got involved neither his mother or his father could get him to stop. Put underwear on your child at this age and he either goes to the bathroom or he goes shopping with his pants full of poo. It will convince him to stop.
I have 2 grandbabies I'm raising they are 10 months apart. My grandson is 2 will be 3 in June. She will be 2 in April, he was completely weaned but started taking her bottle from her and now they both have it. My mom swears by the Farmers Almanac. They have both been through trauma so im apprehensive I know that the bottle is a source of comfort. My question is how do I take the bottle away again without further traumatizing him especially. He wants the bottle all day long. She only seems to want it at bedtime. This is a tough one
I have weaned my kids by your Almanac what I need to know is when can I wean a 2 yr almost 3 & 12month old?
I know you aren't experts I guess what I'm asking is do I wean a little at a time only giving the bottle at night or take it cold turkey?
My son turned 2 May 24th 2021 and I'm wanting to take the bottle away on July 31st. Do I do it cold turkey since he knows how to use a sippy cup already? My girls were so easy but my boy is so hard. Were trying bottle breaking and potty training and he isn't have either one but im wanting to have the bottle gone for sure. Any advice please.
My youngest daughter refused to potty train or stop the bottle. I tried coaxing her in every way I could think of. After dozens of pairs of panties (bcuz one skid mark and those suckers were disposable) I was finally at my wit's end. My older 3 children who are 9, 8, and 6 years older than her were not one bit of a problem. I would say, "don't you wanna be a big girl and wear big girl panties and drink from a big girl cup?" Thinking she would wanna be big like her siblings. I finally figured out I had been completely sabotaging my own attempts to train her because she had zero desire to move on from her "mama's baby" stage. Lol. She wanted to be my baby. Period. So i modified my tactic and told her that no matter what she is my baby girl. Not kidding. TV at is all it took bcuz she was already trained but did not want to be.smdh. So after that 5 seconds of clarity I was able to get her to do what I had wanted for the previous year or so. ( I'd say it took every bit of 1.5 yrs.) She was a bit precocious. Lol. Any way be aware that sometimes they have other perceptions than the intended ones. She is 24 now so this had been many moons ago obviously but I joke and tease her about it still cuz it was just so logical to her and she was so dang cute about it. I am fairly sure had I not figured it out, I think, there's is a good chance she would still be training. Lol. Good luck.
Tomorrow (7/27) is listed as one of the best days to wean. Do I take the pacifier starting in the morning or at night on 7/27?
