I get the appeal of slipcovers, but with a kid who’s constantly on the move (and, let’s be real, not always gentle), I found they just end up bunched ...
I totally get what you mean—lugging milk around isn’t exactly practical. When my kiddo knocked out a tooth, we were nowhere near a fridge. We ended up...
That’s exactly what my kid goes through—front teeth seem way more sensitive, especially after they put on new wires. The ortho said it’s because those...
Popcorn is basically public enemy number one in our house since my kid got braces—just not worth the risk. I used to think dried fruit was a safe, hea...

I get the love for water flossers—my kid uses one with braces and it’s a lifesaver for all the gunk that gets stuck. But I actually still make them us...
