Welcome to MomBrain

At what age do you allow your kid to have their first sleepover with a friend??

Non Toxic Sunscreens that work!! Send away!

What is your go to? I have read that miralax is dangerous and the package says not to use for anyone under 17 yet this is what Dr's always recommend. Does anyone have any other suggestions to help constipated kids without using miralax?

Where do they fall with sending to kinder? Hold back? Dont? If my baby were a June baby, I’d hold him back. But I feel like March is weird.. help me understand

Sending my first to kindergarten. Can I get your most helpful tips? Thanks!!

Hi!

We have 3 kids, and my husband go back and forth if we should have a 4th. Everyone says 3 is the hardest number on a marriage and sibling dynamic. Would love advice from families with 3 that went for the 4th, and ones that are just 3. We have a mix of genders - girl, and 2 boys, all under 7. Youngest is almost 3.

Hi! We have two sons - one is a summer birthday June, and the other is May. Would love any advice on sending our son to kinder on time and him being on the younger side, or holding him back and him being much older. There are no signs around academics or social that would come into play. Hoping for those moms with older kids to offer advice who have been through it!

I know it depends on the kid but I'm really conflicted. I feel like he's ready but everyone holds their kids back these days, I don't want him to be behind just by default of everyone else's choices.

Has anyone read "The Anxious Generation" and if so, have you thought about holding smartphones from your kids til' 16? Tough topic, I know, but he talks about parents creating this community where it's more of a norm for a kid NOT to have a phone! Super interested to hear?

How in the world does my 6 year old boy still not get himself dressed- send help and tips!!!!

Soooo, what is a “normal” weekly sex life for a couple with two young kids?? Anyone else SO exhausted and can’t find the “perfect” time during the day for sex.

Can anyone recommend a good pediatrician in Austin who allows you to delay vaccines?

I think we’re a little young for Harry Potter. Any other recommendations for a fun chapter book or series? Younger elementary aged. TIA!

What are y’all asking for Mother’s Day? My birthday is this month too so I need specific ideas/links lol. I got a really cute bike with a basket last year that I picked out and riding bikes with my kiddos on the weekend is one of my favorite things to do! I wish I didn’t live in hilly Austin and had actual restaurants close by, but the bike is still so much fun! What else? I’ve never asked for/received jewelry - does anyone have pieces that are really special? Even inexpensive! Send me your ideas!!

Give the good, the bad, and the ugly on Ozempic? I’m really tempted to start but nervous. I have about 20ish lbs to lose to feel comfortable again

My neighbor told me dollar amount for age. So a 16yr old should make $16 an hour? Is this still fair?
Somewhere between 1-3 kids

What’s your favorite vacation with small kids — that parents and kids both enjoyed!

Can someone clear up all the myths about how to conceive a certain gender?!! I’ve heard boys closer to actual ovulation peak, but then Google says the opposite. Is there actually anyway to try for a gender?!

Asking for a husband of all girls lol
