Welcome to MomBrain

My 2 year old has to get a tooth extraction soon. Anyone have any experience with this or ideas on how to talk/ prepare them for this procedure?
Much appreciated!!

I know this is kid specific BUT generally speaking, how do you know when/how much to push/motivate your child? One of my kids doesn’t really seem interested in much. Extra curriculars, school work etc I just want them to be interested in something, anything at this point. Not depressed. Would rather just hang out.

does anyone have any information on preschools in Wimberley Texas? I’m asking for a client of mine. That’s moving to Wimberley. She has a four year-old and a two-year-old thanks in advance.

I'm never on the mood...
I ordered from amazon - Foria Awaken Arousal Oil. It's designed to get you in the mood, it's not magic but definitely helps. Try it 10-15 minutes before intimacy. it aims to enhance sensation, relaxation and prometes climax. Smells great!

My youngest son comes into our bed every night around 3am. We let him sleep with us the rest of the night- I'm too tired to get up and walk him back to bed every night. This has been happening for about a year. He also has a lot of trouble falling asleep without one of us laying with him until he doses off. He has expressed that he really hates sleeping alone. We have 3 boys (11,8 & 5) and they all have their own rooms. Any tips?! Would love for him to not come into our bed!

WhatsApp your biggest mom guilt?

And how you deal with it?

Has anyone done the cat and jack return at target? Does the condition of the clothes matter? Do they have to be styles from within a year?

My 10 year old has been questioning if God is real and heaven. We have been having some great, open convos but would love any suggestions or resources so I can be better prepared to help him navigate this.

Moms— My son has started waking up at least once a night and coming to wake my husband and I up. Does anyone have suggestions on things that have worked to help keep your kiddo asleep all night?

My son started daycare for the first time the first week of January. He got sick right away (to be expected) with a cold and cough, no temperature. However, it's been lingering and he still have congestion and a bit of a cough now three weeks later. How long is too long for a cold before I should be concerned? Or is this just daycare right of passage?

things you regret not including in your divorce decree
or things you're so glad you did

thanks 🙏

I don’t like TV, so the show must not be slow and hook me early on. Also a plus if it’s not 10 seasons long haha! Looking for a few good shows to watch with my husband —

Hi! I have a four year old and he has been in the Nuna Rava car seat. He is starting to complain about it being too small. When do you move to a booster seat vs a full car seat.

Hi!! My toddler gets toted around with two big brothers that play baseball. I’d LOVE your favorite toddler (boy) toys that keep them occupied!! Something I can pack and take along?! Thanks!!

Re: Non Toxic Sunscreens!

I am a huge Think Baby fan. It works well and there is something for everyone in the family.

My most recent obsession is Sky and Sol! It is so smooth and goes on like a lotion and does not leave a white tint (that my kids gripe about). I love that they use tallow, which is what makes it so smooth. It checks all my boxes as far as being clean, safe for our bodies and effective.

I wish I would have found this at the beginning of summer!

My kids love milkshakes but i'm looking to swap this Summer habit with a delicious protein shake. What are your favorites? My kid's fav flavor is cookies and cream. Thank you!!

This is SUCH a struggle because I was never taught about my hormones! And now at 34 I am learning about my own body!

I wanted to share with the Mombrain community an upcoming event in Austin on Friday, May 17th at Vintage Book Store about this topic!

There's a woman named Bailey who wrote a book and is on a mission to give girls a better foundation by providing hormone education early!

She'll be selling copies of her books + hosting a discussion about this topic but she also does 1:1 coaching!

Does anyone have any helpful tips for routines and things that help you keep your life together as the cruise ship director of the home? I feel like I’m organized but this may just not exist and all I can do is the best I can do 😂 husband is great and I can give him direct instruction but any tips to help maintain some semblance of routine/organization with all facets of life?

We are having trouble getting pregnant with our third which is bizarre bc 1&2 were not difficult whatsoever. It’s really heartbreaking and completely unexpected. It’s grief but also trying to remain hopeful. How do I manage this rollercoaster?

I dread and hate the idea of packing school lunches for the next decade+. My kids are 2 and 5. My oldest can't have: soy, egg, peanut and tahini in her lunch due to allergies in the class (fml). Any favorite Pinterest links or accounts you follow on IG for lunch ideas?
