Tantrums

Okay mums, truthfully how are we handling toddler tantrums here because I’m in the trenches 😣 My daughter can be as sweet as pie one minute and a total demon the next. We were cuddling on the sofa and all of a sudden, she flipped and started pulling my hair and tried to drag me off the sofa. She’ll also be happily…

We started weaning our babe on 16th Feb. He was pretty regular and then boom. Poor boy hasn't done a poo since Friday lunchtime! That's over 3 days now. I gave him some Prune puree for lunch today with his usual water. Still nothing. Is this happening for anyone else? We've done all the usual bicycle legs, warm bath...

Why are a lot of people so eager to make their very small babies sleep on their own?

I keep seeing posts about people wondering why their baby won’t settle on their own when they are still so so young. Baby’s don’t know they are their own person until they are 6 months old, they will require comfort and closeness for a long time yet. I know it can be hard when you try and get things done and your ba...

Sleep

My 18 month old doesn’t sleep without his milk bottle and drinks during night sleep which is resulting in constant wake ups. He is up 2-3 times in the middle of the night and refuse to sleep on his own. Any suggestions so that he sleeps by himself? (He was sleep trained and doing really nice 2 months back)

Trauma 😭.

Hey, I don’t know how to say this, but I lost my 10-month-old baby recently, and it's been absolutely heartbreaking. Every time I see my baby's things, it just drives me crazy. I feel like I need to let them go, and honestly, I don't mind the distance. If you want them, I can ship them to you. I just need to rest, a...

Hey mums.. I’m in the market for a new (used) car around the £15K mark or less. Ideally something mid size as my husband has an SUV. I really like the Audi Q2 & Vauxhall Mokka but open to other suggestions! Would be interested to know if you’d rate either of those or know of anything better?!
