For my boy mamas, i dont know if this is normal or not but both my boys (4 and 2) are constantly touching eachothers pvt part and laughing and saying penis penis, ive told them off many times and said you cant do that but they wont stop.

I know for them its a joke but im worried what is it turns into something that isnt funny one day. Is this normal?

I don’t have much experience on this as my boy is only one and hasn’t hit this phase yet but I do think is normal there young and realising there body parts to them is the same as if they touched the others arm and shouted arm but just sit them down tell them that there are places on the body that are for them and them only you don’t show them to anyone and nobody touches them and just keep addressing that and make sure they know this but I wouldn’t worry there just realising there body parts and think is funny as-long as you keep telling them not to do this and that is there private places then they will eventually learn there young I really wouldn’t worry your doing the right thing by telling them not to do it xx

Just keep telling them. My son is five and I have told him since he was little that those parts are private and no one should touch them. No one gets to see, ask to see or touch accept for the dr and mommy but only when it is to help you stay healthy. They are still little and it is funny shit I still laugh at the male appendage. Just keep reminding them of you do began to be worried your pediatrician is always a good resource. And once they start school schools districts usualy have a good amount of knowledge or resources

Is it ok to let a newborn (2weeks) sleep if already past birth weight or wake to feed ?

No hate for having a sleepy baby please my first was an awful sleeper so I know how triggering these posts can be 😂… but

My 2 week old slept for almost 6hours last night and we woke him even though he seemed pretty tired and would have slept longer. He’s been a sleepy baby since birth but feeds a lot throughout the day and has surpassed his birth weight but my husband woke me last night to say we need to wake the baby to feed. I said I’d get up and pump and let the baby sleep but he said we shouldn’t let him go over 6 hours without a feed….

Should we wake him? Thoughts below please :)

Help…Normal tantrum or something more?

My daughter is having the worst meltdowns recently. I’m talking to the point where people are starting to stop outside my house and looking in with concern. The anxiety and humiliation leaving the house sometimes is exhausting. Kicking and screaming at the top of her voice in public and having everyone in the street looking at me, is a different kind of embarrassment and guilt. I’ve had a few conversations recently with various people about seeing someone professional about mt daughter’s behaviour. She’s also started using noises and moans to gesture what she wants, coming from an incredibly smart 3 year old who has been speaking full sentences since she was two. We have regressed in verbal communication, and the meltdowns are getting so horrifically bad. She also tugs at her clothes when distressed or pulls on her fingers. There is absolutely ZERO reasoning with her when she is like this, it’s just constant screaming. I’m a first time mum and just at a complete loss.

Breast feeding

I’m expecting in a few months time and want to breast feed (breast and bottle feed). What bottles do you recommend? I formula fed my first daughter and used Dr brown bottles (hated Tommee Tippee and MAM due to tongue tie issues). Is Philips Avent good or Lansinoh? Thank you ☺️
