she kicks her little foot in a huff, drawing the attention of her caregiver, who had been guarding her bedside since she was tucked in hours ago. they shush her softly, coming back to tuck the blankets around her.

"it's just not happening, is it baby?" they speak quietly, trying not to disturb the atmosphere too much. the sleep sounds they had playing are becoming upsetting, though, so the baby spits out her pacifier and lets out a loud whine, followed by a big yawn. "oh, dear!" the carer chuckles, pushing the pacifier back in her mouth.

"my sleepy baby, why don't we try the rocking chair? come, come," they keep their baby wrapped up in her blankets as they collect her into their lap on the rocking chair. "i'll be with you the whole time, so just relax. i've got you."

How to feel tiny

Sometimes, regressing can be tricky. A lot of the first few years of life focus a lot on learning. If you have already learned what the material, your grown-up brain might want to take over, making it hard to enjoy toddler activities.

🟦If you want the experience of learning preschool/kindergarten material again, try learning your shapes, colors, the alphabet, months of the year, or days of the week in another language! You can use fun songs or games to help.

🖍️If you want to experience developing motor skills again, try using your non dominate hand. You can try coloring, learning to write your name, or do basic scissor worksheets. (Please be careful with the scissors!)

🐻If you want to explore and learn science, try learning about animals. Shows like Wild Kratts and Octonauts can be genuinely educational for "grown up" brains. You can also check out books about animals from the library!

🫂Learn social-emotional and coping skills that are appropriate for children. There are many YouTube videos for yoga or meditation for kids. Shows such as Bluey, Author, or Carl the collector are some of my favorites and focus on social skills.

☀️If you want to feel physically tiny, try getting on the floor. Remember when your body was small and everything around you looked big? That was perspective! You can achieve something similar by being on the ground. Just make sure to listen to your body and take breaks if it hurts. You can also cover yourself with a blanket to focus less on your size.

Caregiver! Thanos Headcanons

•Older brother type of caregiver.

•He does personal concerts just for his little in the house, performing whatever songs they want to hear and going all out with it.

•He’ll also put on his music (or music made by a different artist, which he’s definitely not offended by in the slightest..) and will dance with his little.

•Always has a lot of energy, so he does enjoys playing with whoever he’s caring for.

•Very laid back about rules. He actually doesn’t have many rules at all, unless his regressor wants/needs specific rules.

•He has a hard time saying no. He gives in pretty easily, especially if his little looks really sad.

•If they want to, he’ll let his regressor repaint his nails when the paint starts chipping off.

•He teases his little quite a lot, in a playful manner of course. Though, he will stop and apologize if he realizes that they’re getting upset over it.

•He ruffles the little’s hair a lot. Pretty much every single time he walks past them or goes up to them, he’ll ruffle their hair.

Baby bottles can be really fun and a great way to stay hydrated but there are a few things you should keep in mind:

💖 Baby Bottles come in a lot of different sizes and shapes and especially the tips come in a lot of varities. And you‘ll probally like some types more than others and it‘s completly fine if you need to try out a few different ones before you find a bottle you really like

🩵 Bottles are neither pacis nor teethers or chewies. Avoid biting and chewing on the tip because that can damage it and also don’t suck on the bottle after you finished drinkink and it‘s empty since there might still be some liquid in it and that can be really bad for your teeth

💜 You can drink almost anything you want from a bottle, not just milk, tough very thick drinks like smoothies might not work very well. Also always be carefull about the temperature and remember to brush your teeth!

🤍 Make sure to clean your bottle after every use! For cleaning, take your bottle completly apart and clean everything individually. Wait for it to completly dry before reassembeling

💛 At minimum wash your bottle with dishsoap and warm water and make sure to scrub every part of it. Check before if you can put your bottle in the dishwasher, and if you can that‘s a great option too. Just note that this can change the color and texture of the bottle and especially the tip

💚 If you have a fully functioning immunesystem you don‘t have to sterilize your bottle. If you want to tough, you can do so by taking the bottle apart, putting all the parts into a pot with boiling water and cooking them for five minutes. Wait until it has all cooled down before touching them and be carefull when doing this!

🧡 Avoid using steel wool for cleaning, since it can scratch the bottle up, especially the volume-markings and any pictures prited on the bottle!

🩷 Don‘t leave drinks like milk that can go bad really fast out for long. If you can‘t drink it all at once, make sure to put your bottle in the fridge

🩵 If the tip get‘s damaged, make sure to replace it as quickly as possible. Luckily most manufacturers sell replacement tips that you can get. Just make sure you remember the brand and model your bottle is from!

✿-If you don’t feel like showering but hate the feel of grease in your hair, try rinsing in the sink. Try and wash away the oils with water even if just a little bit.

✿-If you struggle with binge eating, especially when stressed, NEVER plan a diet or a “redemption” activity (fast, workout, etc). For my eating problems, documenting my bests and my lows without critique is the biggest first step.

✿-For those who can’t shower for too long (physically or mentally not having the ability/energy), get a chair, and I recommend focusing on the hair first. Wet your hair with water for a bit, shampoo it and rub till oils melt and mix with the shampoo, clean your body with soap, and wash it all with just one rinse.

✿-If you struggle with anxiety, especially regarding public speech, try lining up some stuffies or dolls (anything human or animal-like works), and give speeches to them, as if you’re actually talking to real people, express your hidden opinions. This is not the same as talking in front of actual people, but a good head start for people with severe anxiety.

✿-Never do anything if you don’t feel like it (not talking about crucial responsibilities), if you can’t workout today, don’t. Didn’t journal today? That’s literally fine. Too tired to cook? Order food if you can. Point is, pushing yourself to do optional things just to look good is more physically/mentally draining than people realise it is.

✿-This will sound niche, but sleep is SO crucial. If you can sleep, do it. I see sleep as slightly more important than food, the effects of under-sleeping are actually horrifying if you search it up. Personally, lack of sleep worsens my binge episodes, as I have to eat more frequently and in quantity to compensate.

✿-If you struggle with anxiety/panic attacks/emotional overload, try playing Tetris/solve-match/puzzles.

✿-Speak aloud, even when no one’s around. Help yourself process your feeling to not get overwhelmed. This also helps with memory retention, I repeat stuff to myself when I study.

sometimes i get super duper worried that my caregiver is uncomfortable with my regression , so i thought it’d be useful to caregivers / sitters / flips to have some tips on helping manage a self—conscious regressor !

— instead of simply reassuring them , treat them like a little / however they would like to be treated ! while reassurance can be helpful , in my opinion , actions are much more comforting

— in worse situations ( breakdowns / tantrums / etc. ) give them activities to do ! coloring pages are very nice for me , but if it’s something you can do in person together , i would recommend text—based tasks like having them tell you about their day , about their interests , anything really ! this might not seem like much , but being given little commands can help us feel very connected to being a regressor !

— similar to the previous one , give them a checklist ( this can work in person or over phone / text ) . this is a more general piece of advice , but it will help take their mind off of the worry and will help them feel accepted & taken care of !

this account is a safe space for those who have "gross" habits if you're going to be rude kindly block me

plan out showers / baths, if that's too much of a struggle that's okay you can always use baby wipes

use sweet smelling soaps so you smell nice & clean

dry shampoo is a good alternative to washing your hair

use body sprays to smell nice

put flavor packets in water so it tastes good

have granola bars / shakes near your bed if you get hungry

keep self care items (baby wipes, body spray, etc) near your bed as motivation to use them

drink water, chew sugar free gum, floss your teeth, or use a disposable toothbrush if brushing your teeth is too hard

take it day by day, sometimes it's easier one day but difficult the next and that's perfectly normal listen to your body & don't force yourself to take care of yourself if it's too much
