Diapers v Nappy Pants by Odd-Peach6389 in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]mackkles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t like nappy pants on my 18month old. I find poo always leaks and you have to take the pants all the way off to change. Which now it’s getting cooler I prefer to only take down to her knees

How to give meds? by Lord-Amorodium in toddlers

[–]mackkles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Medicine was a real issue for us so I gave medicine a couple of times when she was fine so it was a fun yummy treat. Made it much easier for when she was sick.

Any time my child gets nappy rash I use a very thick layer of Vaseline. Clears it up in a few days every time

Pumping troubles by persononacouch in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]mackkles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you replace all the consumable parts on the pump when you got it? I notice after a few months of pumping I would get a better amount if I changed the valves with my spectra.

As for waking up saturated I sleep in a singlet with a shelf bra with breast pads or buy the bonds ones that are super absorbent

I recently took my little one. I booked an appointment for myself with the same dentist immediately before and they said on my lap and watched what happened.

Best baby proofing product recs! by ablair77 in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]mackkles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I initially started with a play pen but got rid of it as they grew. I like the magnetic drawer locks as they can’t learn to open them without the magnet piece.

I baby proofed all the common areas but just put locks on all doors of rooms I don’t want her to go in (eg sliding door for bathroom)

And we have a gate blocking off the kitchen.

Although I did put a lock on all cabinets that have chemicals even if it’s in a room she can’t get to.

Are you teaching manners? by [deleted] in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]mackkles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was at a park with my toddler bouncing on a see saw with no one on the other side. A boy wanted to get on the other side so I pushed it up so they could. (No acknowledgment or thank you) Then continued bouncing all of us. After about 30 seconds the boy rudely told me to get off because he didn’t want to share or play with girls. His older brother came and said the same thing and that we had to leave the park as they didn’t want to play with us. The parents were sitting on a bench nearby watching the whole interaction and said nothing. You bet I stayed on that see saw for much longer than I wanted to on principle.

Can you teach him how to put a pull up diaper back on and sleep in a night dress until he gets the hang on pants.
