30 “Baby Hacks I Wish I Knew Before I Was A Mom”

Bored Panda reached out to the creator of these parenting hacks, a 26-year-old woman named Lauren Mejia who holds a degree in Child Development, Psychology and Montessori education. “I am a mom to a 22-month-old baby boy named Braxton. I got into TikTok around the time my son turned 1 by posting tips and activities that I thought would be helpful for other parents,” she told us.

So Lauren’s TikTok channel lifts some of that burden from parents’ shoulders and provides real know-how advice on child development and everyday hacks, as well as giving them simple yet game-changing solutions to any of the problems that may come up.

The TikTok creator said that her hacks are inspired by the daily issues she experiences when raising Braxton, which makes her videos all the more relatable. “I get my ideas for hacks by experiencing daily issues being a mom and trying to figure out useful and helpful ways that will solve common problems that other parents may also experience.”

When asked what’s the most difficult part of being a parent, in her opinion, Lauren said that it “is trying to figure out what your baby needs at every given moment and constantly wondering if you're doing enough for them in regards to their development.”

Lauren also added that she mainly gets positive feedback from her viewers. “It's always motivating to post when other parents comment on how useful my tips are,” she concluded.
