we can use fluoride?!?!

yes you can. Lots of people say no. But fluoride is actually good for their teeth. You would have to consume a butt ton of fluoride toothpaste and water to have problems. Dentists recommend using it. And for kids you only use a tiny amount that there’s even less problems than an adult

that’s probably why my girls teeth are turning yellow even tho I brush everyday 😫🙃

Yeah I see lots of problems with kids teeth and yet they don’t use it. And then some say it’s the opposite and it’s bad and blah blah blah. I’ve also hear that in other countries teeth are worse than the states because they don’t use fluoride as much/ there isn’t fluoride or a lot in the tap water and the states does have so people get it that way as well

have you brought her to the dentist? I would suggest going. They want you to go when your child first gets teeth and then every 6 months after that. We’ve gone twice but it took so long because we ended up moving and needed to find a place

we’ve been booked out since she was 11 months so I gave up searching and then lucky got a spot open for this Friday

Girl I second Tom's. I used a fluoride free one (jack and jill) til she was about a year and half and I regret it. Her teeth have enamel issues and her front top teeth look so bad. 😬 I thought fluoride was horrible but turns out she really needed it.

Just one more ques- are your kids able to spit out after brushing or they can swallow paste during brush?

fluoride is a neurotoxin

we try to teach spitting out but at 2.5 he still doesn’t really. But it’s such a tiny bit that it doesn’t really matter so when you brush their teeth you can teach them. And show them how you spit out. But the probably won’t know how to do it for a little bit

my kiddo is still learning to spit. I take a wet cloth and wipe out her mouth after brushing for now.

just the regular crest kids
the natural stuff was not doing it for their breath …😭

Yes it is classified as a neurotoxin which is why it is not recommended as an additive in drinking water. However it does benefit young children's teeth in appropriate amounts. When brushing a young childs teeth you use an amount the size of a grain of rice. Neurotoxins are used in many things in the medical world from heart drugs and chemotherapy to botox. They can be toxic if not used correctly.

Hour night wakes and 5am get up

Can anyone shed some light as to why on earth my child doesn’t want to sleep??? My eyeballs are bleeding!!

Never been a good sleeper, but the problems always changing. He’s nearly 9 months old.

Beginning of the month he dropped to 2 naps. We could put him to bed at 7pm and he’d get up for the day at 6am, with multiple wake ups every 2/3 hours.

Now we put him down at 7pm, he can do a good 4/5 hour stretch, but come 1/2am he’s up every hour then getting up for the day at 5am. This then completely messes up the day because I can’t keep him awake long enough to even get to 7pm, let alone later.

He has 2 naps, roughly about 1hr10 each but it changed based on when he wakes and trying to get him to a reasonable bed time.

What could be the reason for this? 6am is fine, but 5am is not 😩😩

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

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?

I think its fair

Me and my partner agreed to sleep in 1 day of the weekend.
He doesn't find it fair to look after both kids (my 4 year old isnt his) while i sleep so he looks after the baby while i sleep and my toddlers at his dads and ill look after both the next day.
Straightaway it was pretty unfair as i let him sleep in until he wakes up 10-12
He wakes me up when baby starts fussing because he wants milk (doesnt need it)
I cant pump as i dont supply enough.
So i get woken at 9/9:30 to feed baby then i get him sleep then theres no point sleeping in as my toddlers being dropped off.
I also find it unfair that i get both kids to sleep most night, i get my toddler to sleep everyday hes home (4/5days) and i get my baby to sleep most nights with the exception of maybe twice a month as his dad struggless then about 95% of his thru the day naps.
I have also been unwell for a few months (tumor scare) and am waiting 18 weeks to see a specialist so im obviously petrified for that, so unbelievably tired and alot of aches and pains, specifically these pounding headaches ive been having.
After i had been up til 11:30 getting both kids to sleep lastnight and my partner falling asleep at 10 then him ignoring the baby cries all morning until my toddler woke up im fed up slammed to door and rold him not to expect to sleep in unless he gets the baby to sleep the night b4.
I keep having issues with him not feeling the wet from baby being sick or weeing himself or being able to smell it do about 98% of the time hes given to me i have to clean him up n change him.
Including at night, we agreed my partner would change nappies (1 a night at 5am) while i feed (2,4,5,6:30) but every night when i get him hes pissed through and my partner gets annoyed when i wake him up n moan about it.
Then the morning after hes annoyed at how much washing there is (thats his job) and moans about how often i change myself (baby constantly shits thru and sicks on me) and baby
Honestly im just so tired all the time

Crawling and walking

So my girl is 9 months now and shes great at sitting up and stays on her tummy for awhile but she seems to have no interest in trying to move or crawl or bum shuffle. Shes a big baby always has been but I'm disabled and I feel like it's my fault she's not hitting milestones I feel like there's something I'm not doing and it's making me a bad mum
