My husband (37) and I (37) have been together now for 6 years. We have a 2.5yr old and a 6 month old. My first mother's day was spent at his brother's house for a mother's day brunch that we were late to because he told me 45min before it was supposed to start.... I had neither showered or knew it was going to happen and we had a 5 month old at the time and I was exclusively pumping. At the brunch my SIL made many "boy moms are better" remarks the entire morning (I have a daughter) and couldn't stop talking about how I didn't want a drink. It wasn't exactly a memorable day. My second MD was a complete miss. He didn't remember, so nothing planned, nothing said, nothing. so it was a day watching many moms receiving flowers and love. For me another day. Now this is the third round. My bar was loww. Leading up to this special day he talked about how he kept receiving my gifts in the mail. Box after Amazon box. He debated to give it to me early. Saturday I had planned a whole outing for our 2yr old (she's been wanting a little more mom time as I have been busy with our 6 month old) we drove to a nearby farm that had highland cows, we went to a children's museum, ate at a restaurant husband chose. I did everything as I normally do for the day (diaper bags, snacks, bottle prep, clothes, you get the point). Once we got home he wanted to give me my gifts. He opened the Amazon boxes and handed me 3 boxes of crackers (one being my husbands favorite), a crispy chili jar, and a variety of my husbands favorite jams in a mini pack. One goldish necklace from Amazon.

I didn't know seeing crackers as a mother's Day gift would make me feel so hurt as it did but I began to cry. My husband made it seem like I was ungrateful but I told him these are things I can get myself when I already go to the grocery store with the kids. He gave me a necklace off Amazon before in gold which I did like because it had my kids initials for Christmas but I very kindly explained I'm not a gold person which is why I rarely wear it. I have and always wear silver. Earrings, necklaces, rings, my wedding ring is silver. I'm a SAHM that does everything. I cook, clean, do laundry, go grocery shopping, all while taking care of our kids. I even take our kids to activities/classes 2 days a week.

My husband is making it seem like I'm the asshole for reacting this way. I just need perspective if I have my expectations too high or? Here's a photo of it and my husband's already eating the almond crackers that he loves and I normally don't eat crackers.

I'm going to sound like a crazy mom but I'm trusting my gut with this one. We've been a Millie Moon family for 2.5 years. As of 3 days ago my 6mo started the worst diaper rash I've seen. From his back to the front, bawling his eyes out with every change, touch and rub. I haven't slept much and today it's gotten worse. It's going into his thigh folds and on his scrotum. Our normal diaper rash cream hasn't helped really. I had time to think and a few months ago I remember reading a post about another mom and a few others who had problems with Millie Moon for reference here's the thread, where I also commented my situation in full. I found my 6mo diapers are the new batch with the patterned top and we've switched over to huggies. The pediatrician is aware of his rash but with no other solution other than "air dry his bum". If you are going through this I hope this find you! If it wasn't for the first mom I wouldn't have made the connection.

I also did a Google Gemini inquiry if Millie Moon has had production changes and this was the response; to note Millie Moon is responding that they haven't made changes.

"There is significant evidence from recent parent reports and legal investigations that Millie Moon diapers have undergone a production change that many believe is causing severe skin reactions.

While the company has not officially issued a "recall" as of late April 2026, the situation has escalated beyond just "normal" diaper rash. Here is the breakdown of what is happening:

The "Chemical Burn" Controversy In early 2026, a surge of reports emerged from parents (specifically those buying from Target and Walmart) describing a specific type of reaction that looks less like a typical rash and more like a contact or chemical burn.

The Symptoms:Parents describe bright red skin, raised welts, skin peeling, and open wounds that appear within hours of putting on a "new" box of diapers.

Legal Scrutiny: Law firms began investigating Millie Moon (and their parent manufacturer, Zuru Inc.) in early 2026 due to these reports of "severe infant skin reactions consistent with chemical burns."

What Changed? (The "Formula") Technically, diapers don't have a "formula" like food, but they do have a specific makeup of materials and chemicals. Parents have noted several physical changes in boxes manufactured in late 2025 and early 2026:

The Print/Pattern: The most visible sign of a "new" batch is the print. Older diapers had the animal prints only on the lower part of the diaper; the newer versions have the prints going all the way up to the waistband.

TCF vs. ECF: A major point of contention is the switch to Elemental Chlorine Free (ECF) pulp. While ECF is a common industry standard, it is a step down from Total Chlorine Free (TCF), which Millie Moon was previously known for. TCF is generally considered the "gold standard" for ultra-sensitive skin because it uses zero chlorine derivatives.

Odor and Texture: Many parents have reported a "chemical smell" when opening new boxes and a "rougher, paper-like" texture compared to the older "CloudTouch" softness.

Immediate Steps to Take: Switch Brands Immediately: Even if you have a full box left, stop using them for a few days to see if the rash clears.

The "Batch Test": Look at your diapers. If the colorful animals go all the way to the very top edge of the waistband, you likely have the "new" version that is being linked to these reactions.

Report It: If the rash looks like a burn (peeling or welts), report it to the CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission). This is how official recalls are eventually triggered."
