The Poop Incident, Protein Bar Lies & a Baby Who Won't Stop Sucking His Lip

Every parent has a story they swear they'll never tell anyone they know in person. This week, someone finally told us theirs, and it involves a playpen, ten minutes of alone time, and a diaper that should not have come off. We'll just leave it at that.This week on Past Our Bedtime's Parent Helpline: a first-time mom is panicking about what happens to her formula-fed baby's nutrition after he turns one — and we actually have some useful thoughts. A mom drowning in guilt over her kids' lunches gets the reality check she actually needed. And a pediatrician told a mom her four-month-old should already be sleeping through the night.Then we spiral into whether chocolate is even real anymore, the David protein bar lawsuit that will make you never trust a macro label again, and a baby who has started sucking his own bottom lip like a pacifier 24/7 until it's bruised. Is it a phase? We genuinely don't know.Not doctors. Not nutritionists. Just two parents on a couch up way past their bedtime giving you the realest parenting conversation on the internet.Got a question for the Parent Helpline? DM us, email us, leave a comment
