What do you hand your toddler during diaper changes other than a 📞

I’m trying to get away from screen time at all costs (minimal at certain times) but my point is diaper changes have been a struggle with my 18 mo old. Any tips and tricks?

An easy to clean toy in case they throw it in their diaper. I will give him an empty pack of wipes or his comb if I’m reaching for things near by.

My LO likes holding a book, but the remote or a toy he doesn’t see much does the trick too!

Another diaper, a toy, a pack of wipes, a wipe, a water bottle, a random piece of trash Ive found. Lol

Booked, small toys, the diaper or wipe lol anything in arms reach

I give them anything near by but never my phone. I would be too afraid it would get poop on it. I think it mostly about breaking out of the habit of using a screen as the first option. We have toys and books all over the place so baby or us can grab one easily.

I try to sing songs or give her wipes or a book, but my daughter hates diaper changes too🤦🏻‍♀️

He's amazed by his Diaper rash cream. So anything with a top he can open /close

I either sing songs with him or if he pooped and he is busy playing I will ask him if he pooped. Then he usually says yeah and I will let him know we are about to change his diaper and ask him what toy he wants to take with him to change his diaper. He will go pick out what he wants to play with and then we go with that.

Do you teach your child the proper terms for genitalia (penis/vagina)?

My husband is uncomfortable with our daughter knowing or using the word "penis". Do you teach your child the proper terms? I say it should be normalized but he disagrees because it makes him uncomfortable.

The only time we dont want a mans soft side...

Hey ladies.... i have something I want to just get off my chest. Ive noticed my husband becoming soft pretty early but lately hes been getting softer a lot more while having sex and its hard to enjoy the finish line when it becomes soft mid way . Because men have high ego about this stuff ive never talked to him about it. I know itll embarrass him. And culturally this is still very hash hash. Hes going to be 41 this year but the softness started around late 20s from what I Remmeber or early 30s. I dont think its work stress either. I guess i want to ask if this age is normal? I thought they were good until at least mid 50s?

Formula

I’m looking to switch my baby to formula I’ve been looking at the European brands cause they seem to have less gunk than the US formulas, but I really am scared to use Formuland. I don’t know which one cause I’m needing to switch here soon

Sleep training

What are you opinions on it?
Cry out method, Forbes and others?
Past experiences?
My 2.5 yo still need us in the room on the bed with him until he falls asleep, although sweet and all sometime it may take even over an hour.
I refused to sleep training him before because I couldn’t handle the cry, but now my 5 months old really doesn’t sleep at all from 1 am he’d wake up every 30-45 minutes and I’m exhausted. Spending so much time with mu 2 yo to put him to sleep then my baby…
Help!
