Toddler toothpaste
My son is 2 and we use the Orajel toothpaste non fluoride. His teeth have gaps and I’m already scarred by that so I want to make sure he’s getting good oral care. What toothpaste and toothbrushes do you guys use. Rn he likes to brush his teeth ( let’s me do it) because he likes to eat the toothpaste 😅 but any advice and he has a dentist appointment coming up too so hopefully all goes well.

U need to use fluoride my son in 6mo and we have our first dental appoinment today, use a pea sized amount and dont rinse after gaps in his teeth are normal dont worry about that
It depends where you live, if there's fluoride in the water supply as to which toothpaste you should use.
And according to my dentist, until a child can tie shoe laces they shouldn't be the only one's brushing their teeth
Gaps in teeth at that age are normal. It’s to make room for the other teeth to come in
Gaps between teeth is how baby teeth are supposed to be. Gutology kids is swallow safe and has hyroxyapatite to strengthen teeth.

Is it regression? Growth spurt? Teething?
OMFG!
I want to scream, cry, run away, sleep for a week!
All the above!
My DD is 9 1/2 months..
She was so chill as a teeny weeny but last few weeks she's horrible (not all the time, but majority)
Whingy, clingy, crying. Hates getting her nappy changed or dressed. Fighting her naps through the day AND not to mention that through the night she'll go to sleep at bedtime but then wakes up a few times and sometimes even is awake 2/3 hours!
What the hell is going on?!
I keep telling myself its a phase... BUT my 3 year old doesn't sleep all night either so I'm usually tackling 2!
I go back to work next week too so god knows what's going to happen and nursery are going to struggle with her.
Help a mama out!
Don't let her photo fool you lol

Am I the asshole for being nervous/ paranoid when my mother in law has my baby even when she’s just near him?
Hear me out, when I was pregnant she would always make jokes in the beginning and during my pregnancy. Saying, “oh this is our baby” and at first the way she would put it was funny but after a while it seemed possessive. So anytime she’s near him my skin crawls and when she’s holding him I can’t have a conversation with anyone because I’m so fixated on him making sure he’s okay. I don’t know, it’s probably PPA kicking my butt. Also I’ve stated multiple times he doesn’t need to be infront of a phone or tv because he’s 3 months old. Talk to him, play with him, yk. In return in a passive aggressive way I’ve been told that I’m wrong or “unfair because mummy gets to”.
I don’t know let me know y’all’s thoughts/ opinions or advice

I need to hear it'll be okay ♡
I'm at a loss and for once I'm truly admitting I'm struggling! I've always managed to find my own way or stay strong for either myself or others but I'm absolutely fucking broken..
My MIL passed away a few days ago. She was not only my MIL but my daughters grandmother, my partners mother and my biggest support. She has been with me every week since my daughter was born. My daughter is 10 months next week and my own parents have seen her maybe 3 times. She was the one person I felt truly comfortable being around, even out of my own family.
When I met her, (12 maybe 13 years ago) I was coming from a bad place and my now partner was my best friend at the time. Him and his mum lived together in a 2 bedroom apartment. He told her my situation and she immediately told me to leave my living situation and welcomed me into theirs. The day I walked in, she sat on the balcony with me for hours. Sharing her shitty experiences and helping me through mine. I will never be able to express how grateful and how much she helped me in so many ways and then with my daughter, especially when things got hard, she was always there. Sometimes she would just show up to do dishes and leave. I'm trying my absolute hardest to stay strong for my daughter and partner. Especially my partner, there is this never ending guilt that I don't know if it's part of depression, post-partum or whatever but the guilt is like nothing I have ever experienced.. I'm hurting but it was his mum, he is obviously hurting on a level I won't be able to comprehend.. The same week he also started a new job which he can't take time off from because then we would have no income so that burden is weighing heavy on him and I don't know how I can help to lift it when I have a very breastfeed dependant bub. I know we all mourn differently but even he is concerned work is distracting him from that. How can I help him, how do I even help myself.. also posting anonymous, in case someone asks what about my parents. They both took up meth. It's just my partner and I now. I'm sorry for the long post, I had to get this out. Thanks 🩶

Enough room in crib??
My 6M old is rolling confidently and wants to sleep on her stomach. She sleeps on her side against the edge of her crib, and once she gets rolled over enough to be on her belly, she hits the other side of the crib. She seems to get stuck and frustrated. It’s been causing more frequent wake ups. Anyone else struggling/ struggled with this problem? If so what did you do? I’ve considered a floor bed so she has more room but her nursery is small and it would take up most of the space.
