30 “Baby Hacks I Wish I Knew Before I Was A Mom”

This one is a good idea but for the fact that it will probably last 3 minutes until they start to peel it off. :)

Don't use such a bulky item for it though. I had a diaper pouch with three diapers, baby wipes and baggies. And sure I had a tiny container of Sudocrem with me. That little set is so compact you can put it in any bag. And for when they were really tiny I did have a diaper bag, with warm water, milk and a bottle and a set of clean clothes of course. But keeping the diaper essentials separate was a mental life saver for me. So I get the hack, but I would make it a little more lean.

I think if they struggle to hold the bottle, they should be in the arms of an adult, who is holding the bottle and gazing adoringly at them.

How does it make a bib?

Yes and very ineffective. Marshmallows are mostly air and great insulators. So they will not do what you want them to do. Just use an icepack with some cloth in between.

If you use formula, put the water you're going to use for the bottle(s) in the thermos, and bringing powdered milk in portion containers. But I'm guessing you already knew that.

That doesn't reduce, that stops it. It also takes the fun out of squeezing them.

I find that one quite humiliating...

No, just no!!

I think mine doesn't do it because she doesn't like/want the food. She does it because she is experimenting with dropping things (gravity).:)

And the pieces will never fit flush, which will drive your OCD toddler batsh!t crazy.

Not worth it unless you have carpet. Same amount of work to clean a plastic sheet as it is to just take a wet paper towel to the floor, imho.

Wait, is there anyone not doing that? I would not risk these five seconds...babies know how to time for such moments!

So after you throw the pacifier because of germs inside !

Soooooo... You use your fingers and hands for the entire body, then... wash your hands and get a makeup brush all sticky with sunscreen? FYI, washing makeup brushes of sticky substances is not fun. Or easy. Whole lot easier to wash your flipping hands.

No offence, but what else would be the purpose of them? As a parent you learn the hard way when half-asleep changing a diaper that also a mostly empty diaper can be leaky if improperly fixed...

I don’t understand, where do you put the hair tie?

Geeez...

...or simply well close used diapers and bring the bag to the trash regularly...

Low heat? High heat! You want to sanitize them, you need at least 60 degrees celsius.

Pacifier cover? It looks like a pacifier to me.

Ah yes, the most reliable source for outdated IT books from the 90s...

There are so many of these "put random thing in the freezer as a teether" posts. Is nobody aware that there are teethers on the market designed to go in the freezer without making a wet mess as they warm up? They're designed for this exact purpose and they're not expensive.

Or get smaller ones. IKEA carries them. No need for hacks that don't work very well anyway.

...or just spent a few bucks on buying a 20 pack covers that even cannot be fiddled with by toddlers....

I would be worried the kid would trip over the excess sheet. Just play with the kid to keep control.

Stroller fan?

I'm gonna say this one only appears faster because you're actively involved. I know heart transfers faster with fluid flow but I'm pretty sure air flow in room temp is still a lower heat transfer than sub freezing with no airflow

... or just wait a little while.

Who keeps their stroller in the kitchen anyway? Very odd, this mom.

Is that the same principle as tapping on a beer can to avoid squirting everything?

but it's frozen... wouldn't that be too cold for the baby? idk.

Why are you giving your toddler a sharpie permanent marker?

I'm guessing any (cooking/baby) oil will do.

But...then you put the brush onto the butt and next time into the jar. Why not use the clean hand that you did not use to wipe the baby's butt?
