Tonies Box

Do any of your little ones have a tonies box?

Are they worth the hype? Or more suited for when she’s a year or two older?

Got it for my son last Christmas! He's used it every single day since!

My daughter loves her brother's so we've bought her one for Christmas. As long as you still read together as well they're amazing.

so worth the hype! i agree with naomi though, i wouldn't like it to replace us reading together. but it's brilliant for when i need to get dinner sorted or when im a bit busy with newborn xx

My son got one just after Easter (I won it from a chocolate my mum bought me)

He loves it. He sleeps with the sleepy time ones. He wakes up and puts on his creative tonie and dances around as it wakes me up.

My son loves his! definitely worth buying and you could get a good deal with it being black friday xx

just got to say, i absolutely love reading with my daughter too! but there are loads of songs and stuff that we love listening to on the toniebox as well as stories, so it is a bit like a radio in that way x

i got most of our characters off vinted! some good deals aswell xx

definitely not cheap😅 but we got ours on a deal with a couple of characters cheaper than it would have been, and theyre the only ones we've bought her (plus the creative tonie). because we got it for her birthday, she got 2 from grandparents, 2 from my friends and 1 from auntie and uncle all as birthday presents. and she'll get more for christmas. also lots on vinted like molly said!

My son LOVES HIS! He’s three. He loves picking out the characters to play. Got my daughter one who will only be 9 months old but it’s like the old version of books on tape. I can play it and she will be able to hear it. If you decide to get one GET THE CREATIVE TONIE! You can record you reading books to them so they’ll always have you reading to them if the worst happens. I’ve had both my grandparents read books and I’ve recorded it since they won’t be around forever. PRICELESS!

We got a Tonies and she doesn’t keep the figures on the box. She plays with them. I’d say three years old would be perfect like they recommend.

Any September 2025 babies crawling yet

My little one isn’t crawling yet but he loves tummy time

Did you know this was a thing?

Didn’t know this existed! I’m actually not breastfeeding 2nd time round (though wish I did) after a bad experience with my 1st baby. But this is something I 100% needed 1st time round.

How do you dry your 🐱?

Looking to settle a debate with husband, he is teaching our girls to dry themselves after they shower, i am teaching them to dry to a certain point on the inside but not between

Circumcision, please help

I know it can be a really sensitive topic, but I feel really underinformed about whether I should choose to circumcise or not if we end up having a boy.
For context: we are very non-religious, but I worry about the stigma of being non-circumcised when he would start to get interested in dating, navigating cleaning it and the risk of infection especially as he gets older and navigating potty training at daycare and stuff. I also worry about the increased risk of penile cancer. But then I also hate the thought of making my baby go through a major surgery unnecessarily and would prefer for them to make the choice when they are older if they choose to get circumcised.

How did you make your choice? Does anyone regret their choice?

How do I end this friendship

My best friend of 15 years and I are in similar stages of life and her behaviour has gotten increasingly erratic and triggering. I am about to have my first baby and she is struggling with postpartum from her second who was born last August. All the “normal” post partum depression symptoms I totally understand but she has also in my opinion made a lot of selfish choices recently.

She is constantly yelling and berating her husband and kids as well as flying off the handle at the tiniest things and it’s super triggering for me coming from a previous abusive relationship. She’s honestly being abusive to her family.

I feel like she always makes everything about herself and her reasoning has gotten soooo misconstrued. She acts only on her emotions and doesn’t care about anyone else’s. She never accepts any constructive criticism or advice even though she complains 24/7 about everything.

She says she hates being a mom and doesn’t want to be around her kids , hates her marriage, hates her job, and complains 24\7 and refuses to do anything to change. She also makes everything about herself including my baby shower we just had. She’s made rude comments to my spouse as well.

I don’t have many mom friends but at this point she is just not the type of person I want to be around because she is being so mean and wanting to bring everyone down with her. Also I am about to have my first baby and just want to focus on me.

no screen mums!!

are you absolutely 0 screens household? my boy is 6mo and me and my partner agreed no screens till 3yo, but I'm a sahm and showering is HARD when I'm alone, I've been thinking about recording myself singing the songs he likes and showing it to him for being able to shower.
What do you do?
