Toddler pulling penis out of nappy 🤦‍♀️

My son plays with his penis none bloody stop! But sometimes falls asleep with it out so wets the bed. I’ve started going and putting it back in before I go to bed but I have this horrible vision of in the future him talking to a therapist or someone and saying ‘I remember waking up most nights and my Mum had her hand down my pants’ 😂 would you have the same fear or just keep on doing it for the sake of the bed sheets!

Also, if he wets the bed he usually realises in the night and gets me up to change him

We went through this too, he did stop after a while, but I’d keep doing it if he’s sleeping lol

Lmao I remember this phase. Their penis has to point down or they wee out their nappy.

I don't think you're scarring him. But. You can't do that forever. I never did it for him, I taught him "penis points down" and just reiterated that any time I saw him with his hands down his nappy. And he learnt it and stopped peeing out his nappy.

oh yeah he knows it has to point down and will always put it back in during the day but he des it in his sleep or he’ll be playing with it in bed and then fall asleep. Obviously I won’t be doing it forever as he won’t be in a nappy forever

Yeah, but some kids aren't night trained til 3 or 4 or later, it's hormonal, it's not actually in their control. You want to be sticking his penis down for him for the next year?

I taught mine when he was still in nappies at night. He managed to learn penis down at night too, and stop leaking his nappy.

Thanks guys. This post was actually just a jokey post about my ‘fear’ of the stories he’ll tell when he’s older. It really doesn’t take much for me to put it back in on my way to bed and it won’t be forever. Great if you managed to stop your kid doing something that mine does in his sleep. My son is in his pants in the day mostly now anyway so it’s not a big issue. Like I said, just a joke

For the breastfeeding moms

What drink should I choose instead of soda? I’ve been drinking a lot of soda and sometimes water, but I want something bubbly to drink while breastfeeding. I don’t like seltzer water or flavored versions. Please help me find a drink.

Anyone else's baby NOT sleeping through the night?

I would never have expected this, but I am seeing so many comments from mums saying that their baby sleeps through the night. It can't just be my baby who is waking up every 1-2 hours? Please say I am not alone...

Sleeping bags

My newborn hates a swaddle of the love to dream swaddle. So was thinking of a sleeping bag.

What tog do you have your baby in that is always a warm baby, rarely cold?
My girl runs hot all the time and normally has a thin blanket on but she is constantly moving so it gets kicked off

Regression struggles

My baby has woken up upwards of 8 times already tonight. Nothing works. I am mentally and physically exhausted. This is week 3 of this and every night is worst than the last. Feeding doesn’t work, rocking works until I try to lie him down, co sleeping doesn’t work. He has a dummy but cannot keep it in his mouth so I have to hold it in. I tried to take it away a few nights ago but he screamed for 3 hours until I gave in.

All day all I think about is how horrific night time will be. I don’t enjoy any of being a mum as I’m consumed by how exhausted I am and how this will only get worse.

What time are you guys going to bed?

We go to bed at like 11ish, and baby goes same time as us so I will feed him right before lights out and he’ll go to sleep in the next to me at same time as us. But some people are putting their babies down much earlier - how and why do you do that ? Do you then go to bed that early too? What about breast feeding?
