Looking for advice from mommas with toddlers and older-

Mowgli climbed into his playpen for the first time ever a couple days ago! It's really neat to see because the bed is by his playpen which he used for leverage and daddy helped him make sure he didn't hurt himself when he front flipped into his playpen 😅😂

He tries climbing out but isnt there yet. I also make sure we don't have any big stuffed animals or pillow is he can use as a step ladder 😅

But what do I do to help keep him contained and entertained once he can no longer use his playpen?

Most of downstairs is baby proofed but I still wouldn't trust him to roam around on his own if I had to step outside (which I do frequently). Usually ai just pop him in his playpen....

A baby monitor would only tell me what's happening when is happening it won't actually help me keep him from getting into something somehow... ( we've lived in extremely tight quarters so I have not needed a baby monitor yet and he's already 18 months)... when I'm doing basic chores like laundry or dishes he's fine roaming around and I have no problem stopping what I'm doing to redirect him. But what about the other times I need him in something?

What do you mommas use to keep little explorers safe when you're not right under them?

How often do you need to do this and for how long? When my daughter was younger & I needed to take a shower I would put her in a highchair with some toys and music, in the doorway of the bathroom. I also used the highchair when I needed to bring groceries in from the car. If it's just a short time a highchair would be fine.

That would be helpful but Mowgli mastered climbing out of his high chair about a month ago :/

@familygrown Hmmm...what about a video cam that you can watch from your cell phone? If you can gate him into one room with cameras you can keep an eye on him. You could have special toys or sensory activities that are new and only for this time to try to keep his attention.

Maybe try one of those bigger play pens or a baby gate that's a circle. I personally just keep my entire house baby proof so they can run around while I go smoke a cig.

Thats my vice and need too. But hes so everywhere and we dont have a gate for the stairs or a lock for the toilet because he likes climbing the stairs with us and like showing off the fact that he can flush the toilet 😅 if we don't go to the stairs with him he usually just weights at the bottom and he's ready to start potty training so I don't want to keep him from doing the natural things that we all know how to do in the bathroom :/ one of those bigger playpens or Gates sound super helpful

Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no, his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me and did something else with an other girl.... and it's 10:51 am now and he hasn't texted me at all. and after he dropped me off I texted him saying what I felt and nothing. I don't know if I'm over reacting or what or what should i do. do i wait until he text me?

Mommas I need advice. Kynton gets a super bad rash when he poops. From one poop and maybe 45 seconds of him being in that diaper turns his butt bright red and blisters. We only use Huggies and Pampers diapers. Could it be disposables that do this? The gel stuff mixing with his poop that creates the rash?? And should I try a few cloths to see if it helps? Or what do I do. He poops at least 2 times if not sometimes more a day. And it puts him in agonising pain. His Drs said don't worry but his Booty is always red, bleeding and hurts him.

So mamas I need advice. We take our son to the gym with us and they watch him in their kid care. Well this will be the third time that we’ve gotten called in there to get him because he’s supposedly doing something we’ve never seen or heard of him doing. When I went in there, the girl was holding him, he was in tears and so happy to see me and wanted me to pick him up. I told her I wanted to see him doing what he was supposedly doing. He went on to play with a toy nicely so I told him to come to me, picked him up and signed him out. While my man was still working out, I walked straight up to the general manager and told him I wanted to speak with him in his office. We reviewed the cameras together and my son was IN FACT not doing anything wrong but playing and she grabbed him by his arm for NO REASON and slammed him on the ground and he was on the ground for a good minute before getting back up. Right then and there was when we were called to come get him because he was supposedly throwing heavy toys at kids (which he never does). The manager apologized and then told us he would talk to her... what should we do?

son getting out of car seat

son getting out of car seat So a couple days ago my son started getting himself out of his car seat while we are on the road. He will be 2 years old May 27th. He pushes the chest clip all the way down and pulls his arms and shoulders out of the straps but is still buckled at the waist. Today he did it 4 times, we had to pull over every time. What do you guys do when they start doing this? My Britax came with these long rubber strap covers but I took them off a while ago when he was to small for them. Are they to stop him from pushing the chest clip down? I just want to know if these will help before I take it apart to put them back on.
