I read a Reddit thread where the woman’s baby latched on for feeding while they were in the hospital but immediately had trouble a few days after coming home. I read the comments and the consensus was: the baby may have a tongue tie. I had a similar experience with my son as well so I decided to look and see if he has a tongue tie. 
Does he have one or is it just how his tongue should be
Side note: he’s able to stick out his tongue and move it around, even making Alyssa Edward’s popping like noises with his tongue

Hey yall. My youngest is into the new Zambian Netflix cartoon “Mama K’s Supa Team 4.” I want to encourage this as her other obsession is Bluey. And I don’t want to purchase anymore Bluey merch.

However I can’t find any costumes for Halloween or merchandise in general. Anyone know of Supa Team 4 has official merch? If not, can yall recommend any good bootleg gear?

Lil man’s cradle cap is spreading all over his body(with a diaper rash type situation in his neck folds). 

His skin gets super dry and flaky. I’ve been told to use unscented moisturizer and/or Aquaphor for this but the Aquaphor isn’t keeping his skin moisturized and I have to apply it multiple times a day.

What do you guys use for baby’s dry skin? How long did it keep their skin moisturized before having to reapply.

My son just hit six weeks. I’ve been told about cradle cap and baby acne while I was in the hospital after birth. It’s frustrating me that his appointment is so far away because his “acne” is getting worse. They say it’s not supposed to itch but my son is constantly trying to scratch his ear area(that’s where it’s the most dry) and the dry patches on his cheeks. His pediatrician has done a few telehealth visits with me and has taken every photo I’ve sent her on his condition. 
She says no lotions or ointments and to wash his face with mild soap. 
I know these things are inevitable but he’s clearly irritated and I don’t know how to help him feel better

Growing up my parents did not allow us to say "lie" or "liar." We always had to say "telling a tale." I heard that this is a carryover from Jim Crow, but I've never fact-checked that myself.  I always thought this rule was stupid, so I decided that I would allow my children to say lie/liar. 

Well my 3 year old started lying (totally normal), so we had a talk about telling the truth. And now she's walking around calling everything and everyone a lie/liar. She called her dad a liar yesterday over a miscommunication, and honestly, I hate it. Something about that little voice saying lie and liar is just not sitting well with me. 

I'm pretty sure I'm being ridiculous, but I am curious - do y'all  let your kids say lie/liar? Is a teacher going to be taken aback by a kid saying these words? Is this a parenting fail on my part?

Toddler saying "lie" and "liar"

My toddler is 2 and we started him in daycare last week for 2 days a week. Until know he has been exclusively watched by my mom outside of me and his dad. We decided to start him in daycare after noticing his social skills needing improvement (I’m all for a little stranger danger, but he still refuses to interact with family members that he sees on a regular basis). 

Drop offs are HARD! I haven’t cried yet, but today was the closest I’ve come. I hate leaving him upset and when they send me updates throughout the day, he still looks so unhappy. I don’t have any concerns about staff, so I’m not thinking about unenrolling him. 

My question is- has anyone dealt with this? I know all kids are different, but if so, how long did it take for your child to adjust? I’m at work in my feelings this morning and just want my baby to know it’s gonna be alright 😢

Daycare drop off

So it’s been a while since I posted my last post and not much has happened but I felt it would be good to update. My mom let me eat the food again like 1 or 2 weeks before I moved. 

Yes, I moved back to my hometown. But she basically said that’s how it feels to be an adult and she was basically helping to push me into the world.

When I got here I immediately started looking for a job. Mostly because I want to be out of my dad’s hair by the time I’m 20. Also because my dad lives wwaaayyyyyy different from my mom and it kinda throws off my routine.

I got the house key so i can leave when I want as long as he knows where. I’m still learning to drive. I now work at the zoo. It is my first day and I am excited. I work the Food Services.

I went to sleep at 12am too nervous and also because my sleep schedule is messed up. I woke up at 5:30. I don’t think I’ll be sleeping for a while, i feel to excited.  But I start work at 10 so I’ll be fine hopefully.
