Tell me why dad lathered metanium all over baby’s bum?

Ive heard of men doing things wrong on purpose so their wives say fuck it and do it themselves each time... not saying this is why but it may be a teeny chance

I’d not be too harsh tbh. I’d rather it be on baby that not used at all. I’d approach it lightly rather than appear like you are scolding him. He will not ever do it the way you do (that’s probably most things to do with baby) but if he tries then support where you can. You’re both learning.

Lmfao that’s so silly. My husband don’t know what to do either. And please don’t take this the wrong way! But I didn’t know what this was I don’t think it’s commonly used in the US, so I googled it. I don’t know if I would use it honestly. I guess the main ingredient (titanium dioxide) is known to cause cancer in animals and reproductive issues in humans. It can’t be used by adults…. Also if it’s ingested it can cause poisoning so if you have pets I would keep that in mind. Mine just ate a tub of Vaseline after my toddler rubbed it all over his head. If used on broken or bleeding skin it can cause irritation. Idk it was giving a lot of information but I would look into it more.

@Monique my husband has done this with a lot of things. It's sucky and something he won't be doing again if he wants more kids

I don’t see the need for the bashing to be honest. Metanium does go along way, I use a pea size amount and it ends up everywhere. How did it end up in more Work for you?

@Monique I honestly hate stuff like this because I’m sure there are more complex things he does at work. It’s like he wasn’t even listening when I showed him the day before

@Leah I had to reduce it/wipe some off. He applied even on the folds on the side of his pee pee. It’s like he was painting

It seems like he thought applying more would help prevent irritation. Don’t be too hard on him It’s important to know that fathers will have their own way of doing things, your way is not the only right way ☺️

@Nelly I'd agree with this, as long as he hasn't done anything dangerous I would try not to worry too much. It's just a bit of cream! I get that it can be hard to take a step back, and I definitely struggle at times, but he has to be given the opportunity to learn to parent just like all parents do

@Nelly I agree. My hubby does lots of things differently than me it doesn’t make it wrong. I’m sure there’s things I’ve even done with my first kid that I would look at as silly in hindsight two children later. I know I wouldn’t wanna do it all by myself tho!

I put it everywhere when my son has nappy rash. It’s not going to harm him. Men think different to women, just take a step back. It’s abit of cream

Mine does exactly the same - he thinks the more he lathers on the less he’s likely to get nappy rash - bless him. It comes from a good place though so I let him get on with it, I’d say the more he’s seen me and others doing nappy changes, the less he’s has been using recently so stick with it ❤️
