From a mother who has tried weaning their child off mam teats for water for months and has constant guilt (please don’t judge me) I’ve finally found a alternative I think but would you say these are okay for a 16 month old?? He’s started taking to these, dentists does say not to worry too much but the health visitor...

Hi After some advise. For the last year my daughter is showing signs of autism. My partner has denyed my questioning and keeps telling me she’s just a toddler until a week ago. We have just returned from a week abroad, and it’s the first time my partner has spent a solid week with her and has been able to see wha...

Why don’t I know what to do with my time?? Lol! I’ve had all the sleep I could get. Baby is asleep, fiancé is asleep! Moms.. what do I do.. it’s my first baby.. I’ve had enough sleep!!

I have just purchased this car seat and was wondering if it's rear facing. I know people are going to say it's a silly question but I'm just not able to fit it for some reason

Just wondering at what age you transitioned your baby from a crib to a Montessori/floor bed. I have a Newton crib which you can change out the front piece to one with a slight opening, but it isn’t on the floor and would have a little drop. Or is it better just to get a floor bed? And at what age? Thanks!

What are your baby’s sleeping in, in the day? We have a Moses basket but my baby has almost outgrown it now. Also what wraps/slings are people using when baby doesn’t want to be put down? I can’t get to a sling library to try them out.

Hey girlies, I’m doing some market research for my new business and wanted to know… what guides, e-books, checklists, planners/journals or information would have been helpful to you as a first time mum/Mum to toddlers/Mums pregnant for the 2nd time? Or As much info as you can give would be greatly appreciated 🩷x

Our parked car was hit into the other day (front passenger side door took the impact) and it is currently in the garage being sorted. It’s just crossed my mind that this is the same side my 2 year olds car seat is on but it didn’t hit the back passenger door, only the front. Would it still be best to replace the car...

I’m 8+2 with baby 2, my daughter is 3. I feel horrendous this pregnancy, the nausea and low energy is unreal! I’m a teacher on half term and I feel so bad, my daughter has had so much screen time because I physically cannot entertain her. I feel awful! She’s never really been allowed tv and doesn’t have a tablet or ...

For those whose babies are hitting or biting — how are you handling discipline? Also, if you have older kids and have already been through this phase, did intervening help in the long run? I’ve heard that some kids continue hitting or biting until around 3–5 years old. What actions have worked best for you as a pare...

After many months of putting it off I have introduced cloth nappies to our routine. So far we have done two per day only because we have six nappies (bought second hand from Vinted). I am now looking to get more, we have the bambino mio and I don’t see how these are meant to fit until potty training since they are...

Going to Tenerife tomorrow with my 6mo, I thought we would just hold him in our lap in the taxi from the airport but now I’m not so sure that’s safe, do you take a car seat when travelling?? It’s only 20ish minutes taxi but not sure if they’ll let him in without a seat? X

Mine just stands there most times

Is anyone else napping during the day? 33 weeks and by 1pm I need an afternoon nap (which can be a few hours long) hated napping during the day before this

My daughter is 5.5 months. Never super liked sleeping in her crib, but we got her used to it and was giving me about 4 hr stretches of sleep. Lately, the last 5 days or so, she will not sleep in the crib. She’ll sleep 45 min max. Usually it’s 10-20. I don’t like the idea of co-sleeping and I can’t sleep with her in...

When are you going up teat sizes? We use mam bottles and my 12 week old baby is still on the side 0 teat. The only thing I have noticed is sucking sounds when she is feeding but she does seem to take the milk fine. Are there any other signs I should be looking out for? Is she too old for size 0?

I thought I was Gods favorite since my hair wasn’t falling UNTIL NOW! 2 months PP and my hair is literally falling in strips! Help! I need some serious help. Anybody got tips and tricks? And should I visit a dermatologist? Thanks mamas 🩷

Little one is 6 weeks on Tuesday and still getting really bad baby acne flare ups. At the moment we just use Mustela no rinse cleansing water once a day in the morning, raw coconut oil on dry patches and baths twice a week with no products - just warm water and breast milk. Flare ups still coming and going - sometim...
