A few months ago, I fell in with a crowd of people who became obsessed with TikTok, especially videos on motherhood. Need a laugh? TikTok. Need inspiration to work out? TikTok. And my new obsession, need a #momhack? TikTok!
I know this platform can seem overwhelming—more for the youths and their complicated dance moves—but it is also a very good way to spread useful information. I love that it’s an accessible (and often non-judgemental) tool that allows strangers halfway across the world to help one another solve a problem or collaborate on a series of funny posts.
Whatever you need, TikTok probably has some type of solution. From getting your kids to do their chores to cleaning hacks around the house, the moms on TikTok have you covered.
Here are 11 #momhacks I learned on Tik Tok that can make your life easier.
1. Toddler Finger-Painting Hack from @mothercould
I love this art hack for toddlers that makes painting mess-free. Just think of the possibilities!

6. Toddler Bedtime Hack from @whatsupfagans
My boys were both little escape artists when they turned 2. For some reason, they hated wearing any clothes at night and would take off any pajamas or sleep sack. I definitely recommend this hack by Katelyn. And for extra crafty toddlers, you can also add a light cotton, button-down shirt under their PJs. Little kids have difficulty with small buttons, so when this hack didn’t work I added the extra barrier of a button-down.

7. Toddler Tantrum Hack from @nicdimarco
I love Nicole’s tips and tricks to make shopping with kids a little easier. I personally use this trick with my 4-year-old, and it has definitely cut down on toy-induced meltdowns in Target.
@nicdimarcoThen I save the photos to an album called “gift ideas” and use it for Birthdays & Holidays!!! #momhack #momtrick #momlife #parentingtips #parenting♬ Renee – Sales
8. Kids Sleep Hack from @drdinakulik
If bedtime is a struggle for your child because they are afraid of monsters (or in my boys’ case, zombies), Dr. Kulik has you covered with her magic spray that will help make your kids feel safe and secure.

Such a great plate to make dinner fun. Also comes in multiple themes/colors.
10. Baby Teething Hack from @katkamalani
Do you have a teething baby? Well, then this hack is for you! Kat had a brilliant idea of giving her babe the seed of a mango to chew on. For her, it’s a hack that is great for all-day relief, and honestly, I’m upset I didn’t know about this one when my kids were smaller!
