25 Products For Gross Parenting-Related Problems

Buzz Feed5 days ago
A Frida Baby The 3-Step Cradle Cap System that'll remove dry skin from baby's scalp so gently they won't even notice — it comes with a sponge, a brush, and a comb that'll all work together to get your kiddo's scalp looking good.
A Frida Baby Saline Kit complete with a nose sucker, saline nasal spray, and hygiene filters to essentially load you up with everything you'd possibly need to *gags* suck the snot out of your baby's nose and help them breathe happily again. I honestly can't even think or speak about this gadget without feeling queasy — but it WORKS.
Or, if you're nauseated by the idea of sucking snot out of someone's nose with your own mouth, a Grownsy automatic nasal aspirator that'll do all the heavy (and gnarly) lifting for ya! It has music and lights built-in to try and distract your tyke while you *get down to business.*
Boogie Wipes, which are packed with saline, aloe, and Vitamin E, and will help gently remove crusty boogers while your tot fights you tooth and nail to get away and get back to planning your demise via Lego bricks.
Miss Mouth's Messy Eater Stain Treater Spray you'll be very glad you bought after your baby has their first eyebrow-raising, gag-worthy blowout in an outfit they've only worn for a few minutes. Trust me.
A Frida Baby Windi Gas Passer to help relieve little ones of gas pain and constipation — it doesn't get much grosser than this, my friends. Prepare for a lot of toots and poops to come your way after you insert this tool.
An Oogiebear tool that's confusingly kinda cute even though its purpose is *a bit* gross — to remove earwax and boogers safely from your little one. Does my daughter fight us like she's starring in Gladiator when we try to use this on her? Yes. But does it get the job done faster and more easily? Also, yes!
A baby butt spatula you'll either laugh or cringe at but will thank your lucky stars that you thought to purchase it when you see how much nicer it is to apply diaper cream to your baby's booty with it instead of your finger. It has incredible suction on the bottom, so you can keep it right next to your changing pad without fear of it being kicked over by your unruly tot.
A Frida Baby Rectal Thermometer with a built-in stopper that'll keep the tip from being inserted too far (yikes). It'll give you an accurate reading within 10 seconds and is water resistant for easy washing. It can also be used to help *move things along* when your baby is constipated. (You're welcome, I think?)
A bug bite suction tool invented by a mom that sucks the irritating part right out of an insect bite with a pull of the plunger — it's so easy your kiddo can definitely do it themselves (if they stop screaming long enough because, duh,, they got bit by a bug).
A jar of internet-beloved The Pink Stuff, which is an all-purpose cleaning paste that'll help you tackle all of your kid-made messes but make it *~pretty in pink~* at the same time. Your kiddo's attempt at Piccasso-ing your walls won't scare this cleaning product. 😅
And Puracy enzyme-based spot cleaner that'll have your little one's clothes looking like you just pulled them off the rack in a store instead of out from under a car tire.
A 10-pack of muslin burp cloths, a must-have for anyone with an infant who is spitting up constantly or a toddler who is forever suffering from a runny nose. These are no doubt a key item for any parent with a kiddo under the age of two — you might as well go ahead and order two sets.
A game-changing diaper rash spray that'll make diaper changes a lot more simple — and you won't have to get any gunky paste under your nails.
A shopping cart cover to create a barrier between your kiddo and all of the unseen germs lurking around — certainly can't hurt and will also prevent them from, literally, sucking on the cart itself (babies are wild).
A travel urinal — a saving grace for when your child, once again, has to pee while you're out and about, even though you *JUST* asked them 10x if they had to go. It'll be a much better option than having to change all of their clothes and clean the car seat because you couldn't get to a bathroom in time (been there).
Or a Frida Baby fold-and-go potty seat that'll bring you peace of mind, knowing your toddler's tush never has to touch a grime-filled public toilet. It comes with a travel bag that'll fit easily in your diaper bag or regular tote bag if you're just running a quick errand with your toddler.
And a portable pack of soap sheets, because entering a public bathroom is grime-y enough without having to worry "will there be soap left in the dispenser???" These will melt away in your hands and ensure they'll be squeaky clean (very important after changing your kiddo's diaper or helping them wipe their adorable little butt).
A sunscreen applicator that'll make covering your mini-me from head to toe a whole lot easier — especially if they're squirmy! Pour the lotion inside this travel-size container, flip it upside down, shake it, and apply. No messy lotion all over *your* hands and no stress covering your kiddos.
A portable car vacuum that'll help you battle the seemingly endless amount of dirt, sand, and cracker crumbs that have made themselves right at home in the hard-to-reach crevices of your toddler's car seat. Yuck.
Plus Car Guys upholstery cleaner for when your kids' messes go a bit beyond the typical animal cracker crumbs — we're talkin' apple sauce pouch explosions, red Gatorade spills, soccer field mud, etc. All of those things are no match for this cleaning product.
Sink extenders so you won't need to muster up Herculean strength every time your surprisingly dense toddler wants to wash their sticky little paws. It'll also make it waaay harder for your tyke to turn your entire bathroom into a makeshift splash pad. You can thank me later.
Bumkins washable bibs that'll turn mealtime into a fashion show (hehe) while also protecting your little one's clothes from all kinds of gross baby food stains. Pop culture fans, look no further! These come in so many fun styles you won't know which ones to order first.
Plus a Bumkins splat mat to place under your tyke's highchair to catch all of the debris that seems to just fall from the sky whenever they're (fingers crossed) eating a meal. Splattered marinara all over the floor? No problem if you've got one of these bad boys around to catch it!
And a pack of Tide To Go pens, because even if you already own one you'd absolutely benefit from stocking up and keeping one in every bag you own — no more worrying about ruining your favorite pants when your toddler squeezes their juice box so aggressively it squirts out all over you (sigh).

Man Gets Lego Gift After Fighting Brain Cancer—What He Builds Shocks Wife

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. For a couple online, grand romantic gestures take focused mental work—but they are so worth it. In a TikTok video, Alli Young revealed the simple, yet elaborate, act of her husband, Brett, delivering her water bottle via a massive Lego crane—something she said truly defines their relationship. Young told Newsweek about the engineering feat that has gone viral with over 223,000 likes. "Oh, your man likes to go out and party and doesn't text you back for hours on end? That's cool, mine delivers me my water bottle via a Lego crane that he spent all weekend building," Young captioned the video, which shows the large, intricate Lego crane delivering her bottle. Photos from Alli Young's TikTok video of her husband's crane Lego invention entering the room. Photos from Alli Young's TikTok video of her husband's crane Lego invention entering the room. @allliyoung/TikTok Young, who described her husband as a "huge LEGO collector since he was a kid," shared that Brett boasts a collection of around 150,000 pieces. The specific crane featured in the video was a Father's Day gift from her. "He spent every spare second over two days building it," Young said. "He works in construction management." While Young herself admitted she has never been into Lego, she said she deeply appreciates Brett's passion: "When he builds something he's proud of, it always makes me happy to see," she added. "It's like he gets transported back to being a little kid, and it's honestly just very fun to watch." The nine-second clip, Young said, offers a glimpse into the couple's unique dynamic. "You get a good idea of who we are, which sounds dumb, but hear me out," she added, describing Brett as "very meticulous and likes things done a certain way," while she is "the more extroverted, 'out there' one." The water-bottle delivery perfectly illustrates their balance of personalities, Young said: "Me asking him to bring me my water bottle and him using the crane to do it is his fun, playful side, but then you watch him at the end looking around the corner to make sure it makes it over the rug—back to his meticulous side showing through." Inspired by the overwhelming positive response to the video, Young said that Brett has now started his own TikTok account to show off more of his Lego collection. The story behind Brett's dedication to Lego, though, goes much deeper than just a hobby. Two years ago, their lives were shaken when they found out that Brett had a brain tumor. During his recovery from a craniotomy to remove the cancer, all of his friends put money together to buy him a huge Lego set to build while he was recovering. Young said she firmly believes that "the combination of doing something he loved and doing something to physically help his brain was what helped him heal." And, today, Brett is fully recovered, cancer-free and starting to teach the couple's 2-year-old daughter how to build small Lego sets. For Young, even though she doesn't fully understand the appeal of Lego, as she concluded: "I can see how much he loves it, which makes me love it just a little bit."
