Here's a brainwave: let's compile our best life-changing parenting hacks here!
I'll start: When my LO was struggling with separation anxiety, this one saved me: got some cheap, fragrant soap and kept it on my person whenever we're out and about or when LO's fretting at home. The faint soapy smell helps calm him and reminds him that mom's around even if he can't see me! He quickly settled down after a while - worked like a charm every time!
What say you, parents? Any hacks that make your life easier? Could be anything, really; from sleeping to meal times to behaviour - let's help each other out!
