What tricks and tips have you used during emergency situations especially on babies and toddlers?

My toddler placed a bead into his nostrils and i didn't notice until he took his afternoon nap. While he was sleeping, I could hear that he was struggling to breathe, like a person who has a cold/flu.

When i looked in his nostrils i was able to see a small bead. I panicked but then i remembered my mom had this particular situation with my niece so i did what she did then.

I took a pen, disassembled it.I will place an image below.

Then i used the empty pen. I placed the pen on the nostril that was okay and blew air in it and the bead came flying out of his nostril and he was breathing normally after that.

What other tips do you have in the case of emergencies like this?

At what age did you introduce potty training?

My baby is almost 2 years old, I thought I would start to potty train him when he talks well and understands when to pee and poo.

I started making him sit on the potty just randomly, but he sits on it for a few minutes then cries to stand up. Now the problem is sometimes I know when he poos but pee just comes at anytime making it impossible for him to use the potty.

How can I make him get used to the potty?

I don't want him to use the diaper frequently.

Also why is it not recommended for boys to wear diapers frequently?

Can we start helping each other out more as parents? (especially with work opportunities)

Parenting changes so much including how we work and find opportunities.

A lot of us have valuable skills and experience, but sometimes we just need the right connection or someone willing to point us in the right direction.

What if we supported each other more?

If you know of remote roles, flexible jobs, or even small gigs, sharing them here could really make a difference for another parent.

I have been a stay at home mom for 2 years now, I have skills that can be valuable to someone or a business. I really hate at times when i have to depend on my partner financially, I want what's mine and can freely provide for my family too. The freedom to do activities with your money and be financially independent is all i want.

Personally, I have experience in customer support and as a virtual assistant, and I’m currently open to opportunities but I know many of us are in the same position.

I'm from Nairobi, Kenya and can work remotely.

Let’s lift each other up where we can ❤️❤️

No one talks about how lonely motherhood can feel sometimes.

I love my child more than anything, but there are moments in motherhood that feel incredibly isolating.

Your whole world changes overnight. Your routine, your body, your priorities, even how you see yourself. And while everyone celebrates the baby, not many people check in on you.

There are days I miss having uninterrupted time, adult conversations, or just a moment to think clearly. And then there’s the guilt for even feeling that way.

It’s like you’re constantly balancing love, exhaustion, identity, and pressure to enjoy every moment.

I’ve realized motherhood isn’t just about raising a child , it’s also about rediscovering yourself in the process.

Some days are beautiful, some are overwhelming, and most are a mix of both.

Now my son is in his toddler stage and ooh boy, check up on boy moms😂😂. I have to shout stop, No don't do that, i get a few slaps that comes unexpected, clothes thrown everywhere as soon as he is left alone. At this point one child is enough , i totally understand those who don't want kids.

If you’re a mom, have you ever felt this way too?
