Let's embark on this journey of decoding your baby's mysterious ways. Trust us, it gets easier! But first, time to channel your inner Sherlock Holmes, because handling infants is like solving a mystery—with no subtitles. But hey, that's what makes parenthood oh-so-thrilling, right?

Why Cry When You Can Scream?

The Dreaded Diaper Dilemma!

Oh yes, the one with the poopy face! Babies have a flair for dramatics, often producing expressions that suggest they've either become tiny thespians or have simply soiled themselves… again! If you spot a focused look coupled with grunting—the infamous ‘poop face’—you know what's next. Grab that fresh diaper, spritz some lavender, and dive into that odorous adventure.
