Tip #1
According to Sidney , there’s a line on the diapers that you’re supposed to match to see if they will fit. Um, what? Why didn’t anybody tell me that? What’s the purpose of it, you ask? Well, if you line it up properly, it will be snug, and nothing will leak out. Aha!
Tip #2
Here’s a hard truth, new parents — did you know your little tyke can projectile poop? Oh, yeah! Learn this from a man who discovered it all by himself.
While his little angel was laying on the changing table, she projectile pooped, hehe. Sidney even measured it, and the distance was a whole 19 inches. Holy moly!
Tip #3
Here comes the swaddle struggle. Babies are so funny, so one day they love being swaddled, while another day they seem to hate it. But if you keep rocking them, they will eventually go to sleep. Aww, that’s so cute, no?
Tip #4
As Sidney has discovered, a single piece of cloth can support the whole weight of your baby when you wrap it around you correctly. Let me show you exactly what I mean. Check out this handle set of instructions Sidney shared on his TikTok, or better yet, watch the video.
Tip # 5
Have you ever struggled to take out one butt wipe at a time? Well, there’s a solution for that. Just add a rubber band to the package, and it will stop them from coming out in clumps. Okay, for this one, I had to watch the video too. How genius is that?
Tip #6
If you’ve ever used a brush to wash your baby bottles you may know this. But then again, you might be just as surprised by this as I was. There’s a little brush hidden inside of the big brush. What? Sidney shows you where you can find it so check this out.
Tip #7
And speaking of cleaning stuff, here’s another one for you. How do you clean those hard-to-reach areas of nursing equipment? Guess what? You can actually use a pipe cleaner for that. OMG! How cool is that, huh?
Tip #8
Who here uses a baby bottle drying rack? They’re so handy. Are they not? But did you know they can safely go into the dishwasher? Oh, my! How do you like that? Sidney, was so proud of discovering that fact, haha.
