boy moms-

are your boys constantly playing with their penis in the bath or during diaper changes?

Diaper changes he does occasionally but I haven't noticed bath time him doing it

Only during diaper changes but i don’t think anything of it honestly

I am a nanny to boy for about 6-7 months and he has always during bath time but occasionally for diaper changes

Yes he does

Mine is almost 14mo and anytime his diaper is off he's playing around or smacking a toy against it. As long as it's not in a public space (then I redirect him) then I just try to ignore it 🤷🏻‍♀️

Yes. In the bath 😂

diaper changes sometimes

Yes!!! Very common! My oldest did this and used to take off his diaper in his crib!
My youngest is 13 months and constantly is holding it at bath time and sometimes with diaper changes

so this isnt a need for concern? 🥴

My daughter is 13 months and always touching down there during diaper changes. I used to be a nanny and the boys did it all the time too. I think they’re just exploring something they don’t touch often

My daughter is 14 months tomorrow and does it in the bath and diaper changes
it’s all normal!

My daughter is 13 months and does every diaper change and bath. I think as long as there is no fever or grabbing at it outside of those times, there’s no real concern. Those would be possible indicators of a UTI

good to know!

My boy is 14 months today and yes he has been doing this like the past week or 2! I think it’s funny how babies literally have to learn themselves. I don’t think is cause for concern tho bc he did the same thing with his hands and feet

Over supply of milk

I am nearly 5weeks postpartum and I have such a big over supply of BM.
Has anyone donated / sold their supply, if so where do you recommend for this?

AITA

In the uk there is an outbreak of meningitis, in a specific area mainly. My BD has family from that area and decided to go and meet up with them, I said if he does then he cannot have contact with the kids for 7-10 days after incase he picks anything up. Am I being over dramatic? I reallyyy don’t want my young kids getting anything serious

Baby clothes

Just out of curiosity, why do parents love zipper onesies?

Don’t get me wrong, I tried zipper ones it’s easy to zip in and out when putting it on the first time and taking it out, but I find it difficult when changing diapers especially when baby is asleep.

I prefer those kimono style buttons where it’s easy to button or too down button with crotch snaps.

Is everyone thinking the same or different? Lol

This might rattle some people

Ok, this might get a bit long, and a bit bumpy, so get comfy and buckle up.

So about a week or 2 ago, there was a post on here regarding sleepovers. Not letting their child go to them as you can't trust who'll be at the house etc.

Now, given recent incidents in nurseries and schools, plus my own experience back in the 90s, I am more concerned about sending my child to nursery and later school than I am to a friend's house for a sleep over.

The other day a man was jailed for abusing children at the nursery he worked at. A woman has been arrested for sleeping with an underage boy and then getting pregnant by a different underage boy while on bail for the first offence.

Young girls and boys get sexually harassed and bullied when at school, not all of them. But more than you think. And not just by other kids, but by adults who we as parents are trusting to look after our kids.

A sleepover, is a more controlled environment, with only a handful of people coming into contact with your child. A school, a club etc there can be 100s of people coming into contact with your child.

I was targeted at 7 years old by the owner of a prominent private school. Thankfully, I wasn't SA'd. In year 5 of primary school, I started to develop early, I was harassed by the boys and teachers made remarks about how my uniform didn't fit right, always "adjusting it" around my chest and legs.

Years 7-9 of secondary school were hell. But it was all under the guise of "we're just messing around". A teacher twanging my exposed bra strap (none uniform day) is not "messing around".

Boys pinning me down trying to rip open my shirt to see my breasts.

I fear for my daughter. I hope she takes after my father's family, flat chested.

We need to educate all our children, what is acceptable behaviour. And to come to us, as their parents should ANYTHING happen.

Car seat

No idea which car seat to get next. Please hit me with your recommendations, 1year+ (preferably rear facing or 360). Thank you 🫶🏻

At this point I’m not enjoying motherhood

My 22 month old is horrendous at the moment🫣 biting, hitting, pushing, pulling and shoving not only adults but children he also wants what other children have and will just snatch it away from them.

We repeat ‘nice hands’ ‘be gentle’ ‘let’s share’ etc

But how do I make him understand what he’s doing isn’t very nice? At the end of the day I feel like I’ve just been saying his name all day and nothing else.

What can I do?
