Hey r/mommit, I'm a computer science major working with a designer currently and I love building things. I've previously worked a lot in the accessibility space (including on a previous idea called Abilifind, which was to be a Yelp for persons with disabilities) and I like to build things to...

Im loving toddler life, but im SO stressed with all the new stuff i have to buy and i want to make the most out of the items I purchase and really don’t want to buy the wrong thing. My daughter is 15 months old. The things I need to buy: crib+mattress, new highchair. Crib: I’m having the...

I have a 4 year old daughter and 5 month old son, who is ebf. My daughter goes to preschool MWF, but I homeschool her on Tuesdays/Thursdays and will begin full time homeschool in August. I have a WFH job that i’m currently doing part time. Im working around 20 hours a week in the evenings...

Hello! Sleep deprived mom here 🙋🏻‍♀️ My little one is almost 9 months, but he’s waking up at least 3-4 times a night every since the 4 month sleep regression. Sleepless nights are really taking a toll on me and my husband, we really need to sleep at this point. We thought of maybe starting to...

I have been a long-time menstrual cup user. For about 9 years, I used a Keeper (the natural rubber kind). It was fine, a little leaking here and there, but got the job done. After my first was born, I kept using the same cup because (I thought) since I didn't have a vaginal birth I didn't need...

Hey all- I recently came across Lead Mama and that sent me down a fresh anxiety driven rabbit hole re: lead exposure. We live in a rented 1940s house and I had brief concerns about lead but grew up in an older home and didn’t worry too much about it. Baby was tested at 1 and lead levels were...

My son, age 13 has been having issues with bedwetting, always has been there since around 5 years old. but it's getting really bad now. Hes wearing Goodnites but is constantly leaking through them I don't know what to do. His doctor is saying hell "Grow out of it" but is constantly leaking...

Any input is appreciated. My husband has been trying to convince me to sleep train our 4 month old, and he will not let it go. Here’s the background info: I chose to bed share and I BF except for the 3 days a week I am working. My longest shift is 6.5 hours. My mom watches her two days a week...

so i'm looking for something specific and wonder if anyone here would know... i have some hand-me-downs of these tanks from amazon. i love them, particularly because they don't have a typical "shelf bra" where there is a second layer under the shirt, like most nursing tanks seem to. they just...

My 6 year old has ADHD, and has dealt with toileting issues since potty training. We've tried many therapy options for both issues, and found some success with a combo of ADHD medication and removing dairy and gluten from his diet. His medicine reduces his appetite during the day, and he's...

While I was still pregnant, I optimistically booked gig tickets for the summer that will require an overnight stay in a city 2hrs away. My parents (who I trust implicitly) agreed to look after the kids, who'll be 5 and 1 at the time and they've had my older child quite few time wth no issue at...

Be honest lol. My dad gave me the money as a gift, but I’m getting this one...

I recently got these and was excited because the sleeve offered protection but it's so hard to get on, I can barely get it on all the way. I can't imagine taking it off. Does anyone else have this struggle or a solution?

2 months ago, 2 days before her 4th birthday my daughter was in a car accident with dad. It was the worse morning of my life. I am beyond grateful she’s still here. Both of them. I am. She’s kicking butt in physical therapy and has progressed so much. Today the neurologist surgeon gave us...

She turned 3 in May. She's definitely ready to use the big potty. She tells me when she goes poop in her pull-up and/or wants to be changed. She watches me go potty all the time and she knows what its for. We bought her a pretty princess potty seat. She was excited for her new big girl panties...

We are going on a couple of vacations this summer and my body has been WRECKED by two pregnancies in the last two years (one live birth, one miscarriage). I’m down to 135 lbs at 5’8” but somehow my body proportions are hilarious and it looks like I put my butt on backwards. Plus, I’m actively...

I purchased two nuLOOM rugs recently. I'm concerned about their safety and the possible chemicals they are giving off. One I ordered from Amazon and is labeled as 100% polyester (photo of label) which I understand to be a relatively safe plastic and it is also labeled Oeko-tex certified. This...

I’ve been absent from this sub for quite a while, but I have to get this off my chest because I’m so fucking aggravated right now. A little background: been divorced from “J” for 3 years, we have 3 kids together - C, boy age 10; A, boy age 7; and L, girl, age 5 -and he has visitation every...

I wanted to share this information because when this disease entered our household I couldn’t find anything like this online and I’m hoping it will be helpful to others who get it and it also shows how different this sickness can present itself in different children and adults. Also, it does get...

I prefer ingredients on my food to be simple and clear to understand. My son (10mo) should have the same. I dont like a lot of baby "puffs" becuase I don't see why all the extra stuff is in them. I know a lot Is the fortification but he gets fortified coral already. I'd like snacks to be...
