Hellooo! I have this teething powder and it says to put a little bit on her tongue? Is this right? I thought you put it on her gums?

I used this with my now 15 yo and 12 yo and I used to rub it along their gums… unsure if it’s changed in that time lol

Forgot it existed actually- thanks for reminder I’ll be getting my 11 month old some x

We put it on her tongue because if we tried to put it on her gums, we'd get bit lol

We put it on a spoon and feed it to her. Seems to work. She would never let me put it on my finger and then in her mouth 😅

We used half a sachet until she was 6 months old (she started teething early) and from then, we used a whole sachet

The only way both of mine have taken it was on a metal spoon then they both would chomp on it for a bit. Always seemed to work too ☺️

I use this for my little one. She just opens her mouth up and I tip it in so goes on her tounge. Can definitely see the difference so know its helping

They also do a gel version which might be easier to apply

For the gel, it’s a pea sized drop
to be used up to 4 times a day

I just put it in their mouth doesn't matter where it goes it absorbs in. Unless you have the pen version then yes you rub it along there gums

Thank you everyone! She’s doing well with me just rubbing it on her gums but I’ll look at the gel too! :) x

I find the powder is more of a longer lasting relief as think its max use twice a day and then use the gel as more of an instant relief for like short term.
Hope your little one feels better soon x

I can’t apologize

Anytime my husband is angry at me , he uses words like fool, stupid, I regret marrying u etc . Even when I’m wrong I can’t apologize cos I get hurt and he in turn gets mad that I don’t take accountability. For context 90% of our Arguments is about the house being tidy.

Coincidence or Retaliation? My MIL Is the CEO and I Just Got Demoted

My MIL is a bitch😂 sorry, just had to start off with that. Okay, now that I got that out 😂 let me give y’all the backstory because I genuinely need to know if I’m being dramatic or if this is as fucked up as it feels.

My MIL is the CEO of the company I work for. My husband also works there, he’s a Coordinator, and I was working as an Administrative Assistant/Peer Support Specialist. My husband and his mom have not been on speaking terms since July. I’m not going to dump the entire family tree on y’all 😂. Just know things between them have been BAD. We were also supposed to go to Thailand with her, but because of the issues between her and my husband, that trip basically got taken away from us. She went without us and came back literally ONE DAY before our gender reveal. She was not invited.

Now, before anybody says, “Well, that’s her son’s mom, how could you not invite her?” there is a LOT more to that situation, and at this point, my husband and I decided we were not going to pretend everything was fine just because it was a family event. We did invite some of our coworkers, though. Fast forward to Tuesday. I get called in and told that I’m being demoted. The reason I was given?

Budget cuts.

Okay… sucks, but whatever. I’m trying to be an adult about it. I’m pregnant, I have bills, and obviously getting demoted is stressful, but if the company is cutting the budget, then I can at least understand that it’s a business decision.

Except…

My husband and like 7 other ppl at the company got promoted the same week!! And then I was supposed to work until Friday in the office, but she sends another coworker of mine to tell me that she wants me gone the same day so my co worker can move in my space. How unprofessional!! Eventually my husband talked to his mom, and suddenly there were apparently MULTIPLE reasons for my demotion that had nothing to do with budget cuts. She allegedly told him that I had said I couldn’t lift certain items because I’m pregnant. NEVER SAID THAT! She brought up paperwork that supposedly wasn’t turned in. NEVER DID THAT! And then there was a customer complaint over the phone. BUT WAS CONFIRMED TO NOT BE ME! It was another employee.

Honestly, the part that bothers me the most isn’t even the demotion itself. It’s the possibility that something personal happening between my husband and his mother could have crossed over into my job. Because if you don’t like your son right now, that’s between y’all. If you’re mad that your son’s wife didn’t invite you to her gender reveal, okay. But my paycheck??? LEAVE MY PAYCHECK OUT OF IT. 😂

Potty training tips!!

We’ve been potty training our nearly 3 year old since the beginning of September and I honestly thought we would have been finished by now 😂

He’s fine with going in the house now but he will only go in his little potty that sits in the living room, he won’t go on the actual toilet. He goes himself most of the time but we do still have to ask him sometimes and I feel like he holds his wees in for hours sometimes. He’s is completely fine with poos though.

The problem is he’s naked from the waist down in the house. If we put anything on him he just thinks he can wee in it 😂 pants, trousers, pyjamas etc he just doesn’t seem to understand that he still needs to use the potty. He also doesn’t really care if he’s wet so I don’t know how to get him past that.

I’ve got no idea what to do when we go out either, I offer to take him to the toilet but he never goes so I just end up putting a nappy on him to go out for an easier life.

He starts nursery next week and I’m starting to panic a bit 😭 Has anyone else had a toddler like this and how did you get them to the next stage?

Any tips would be appreciated xx

Am I being petty

I swear I've woken up on the wrong side of the bed which doesn't help this scenario.
But am I being petty for being severely pissed off at my partner.
He puts the bottles on the steriliser. Didn't fill up or put the kettle on. Didn't fill the power pots ready.
Asked him to shut the blinds in my eldest room as you could see right in. Come back from shop they were still open.
Hasn't loaded in dishwasher in over a week.

I literally been feeling like a single mother these days. Like I know he is working more than usual but cumon he was already half prepping the bottles.

Weaning- start with sweet or savoury?

Just want different views! I understand the idea of starting with veg is because babies have a natural preference for sweet so it can be beneficial starting with veg as they don’t know any different. However, I can imagine that mums start their babies on something sweet like banana or sweet potato or even creamy like baby porridge as it’s things they will likely enjoy and therefore they would start on a positive note and associate food time with positive experience. So I can imagine starting with sweet can also be beneficial so that they actually learn to enjoy eating whereas starting with veg I feel they eat less and pull the funny faces. So I’m torn between the 2 and just wanted to know different mums views on this. Also, I’m planning to start on veg but then at what point do I introduce breakfast? I would like to offer porridge for example but only going to start with one meal a day so how am I supposed to offer veg and breakfast if that makes sense? Literally just starting as baby is 6 months and trying to think of a plan xx
