Tonie boxes, are they worth it?

I am guilty of screen time with my baby and I really want to cut down on this, my little boy has recently turned one and I’ve been thinking about getting him a tonie box. Are they worth it?

My 14 month old loves his. He lets it play while he plays with the rest of his toys. Got it on his birthday x

I bought one of fb marketplace because I wasn't sure if my LG would enjoy it or make use of it. She's now 18 months and loves it; she asks for it when we are in her room. She's learnt how to turn it on, she'll change tonies to whatever she wants to listen to. I can pop it on, and she'll dance to the nursery rhymes tonies for almost the duration of them, so I can have a shower in peace. She's started to recognise that the tonies are characters in some of her books.
I definitely think they are worth their money but I know of some that haven't been interested in theirs at all.

Definitely worth it! I was the same I mostly used screen time for background noise aswell. Switched to the Tony box to reduce that and my 1 year old loves it! We use it for play time, nap time, bedtime. We’d be lost without it! X

I dont have a tonie box but i did get a nursery rhyme toy record player, which my son absolutely loves. The "records" are just card so we dont let him handle it personally but when an adult is in his room with him we are putting on music for him

Baby sleeping

Hi mom's, how do you get your baby to sleep a full 8 or 12 hours every night, I'm suffering my baby girl only sleep for a few minutes every night, I mean she'll fall asleep at say for example 8pm and by 8:15 or before she's up again, I'm struggling really bad and I'm so tired and stressed out I need help

Travel cot - take own or not?

Would you buy a travel cot when going away for the weekend or would you use the hotels? Premier inn to be exact

Feeling really disconnected from my husband…

We have a 3 year old son. When our son was a newborn my husband prioritized my MILS feelings (was afraid to be honest with her and hurt her feelings). I was recovering from a C section and she was at our house uninvited when we brought our son home. He knew she was there but didn’t call her and tell her to leave. She knew I didn’t want her there when I brought the baby home.
We invited my MIL to meet the baby in the hospital- she did. The only thing that went wrong was she told us she didn’t like the name we chose for him. Also told me not to feed our baby formula because “it’s poison”. My MIL has always been bossy- controlling, uses a lot of guilt and shame to control things. She’s tried to control how we manage finances, where we live, and now how we raise our son.
Basically since my husband didn’t prioritize my feelings as the new mother - and didn’t put us first- I’ve felt unattracted to him. I view my husband like a he’s man child. He has finally realized how difficult his mother can be. But I just have felt so unsupported by my husband and part of me just wants to get away from him. I want our relationship to work but the connection and attraction seems to have vanished. I have a fantasy of meeting a man that’s mature, emotionally intelligent, that I feel taken care of. Just venting and advice welcomed…

Do you take your kids/toddler (not an infant) out (park, grocery store etc.) in pajamas?

Pillow in cot

My little one is 14 months old and I was wondering at what age are people giving their little ones a pillow ? And any recommendations on the best pillow for toddlers ?
