I don’t blame you. As a dad especially, there’s something really cool about the idea of having a son, a buddy, a dude-pal.
(I have a daughter and she is my world. But there’s always next time!)
The big question people seem to want to ask is how to have a boy, if it’s even possible to control, and what kinds of things you can try in order to conceive a baby boy.
There is a LOT of myth, urban legend, bad science, and misinformation around this topic.
So I’ve read pretty much everything that exists on the subject and have tried to distill it down for you.
They get tossed around. Rolled around in the dust and dirt.
Drooled on. Stepped on. Thrown up on.
And no matter how dirty they get, babies want to put them right back into their mouths!
So it’s no wonder that keeping baby toys clean and disinfected is a pretty important job. But how exactly do you clean baby toys? What do you clean baby toys with?
My 3-year-old sometimes complains that her tummy hurts.
With kids that age, it’s really hard to tell when they’re in a lot of pain, exaggerating a little discomfort, or making it up entirely for attention or comfort.
Plus, when my stomach hurts, I’ll often take Tums or a store brand antacid of some kind. She sees me do this and will often ask if she can have some.
So for a variety of reasons I’ve been wondering lately if it’s OK for kids and toddlers to have Tums or other antacids. They seem harmless to me, and I’ll down them like candy when I have a stomachache, but I’m not a doctor.
