Does anyone else’s child ALWAYS overreact and act as if they need an ambulance every time they SLIGHTLY hurt themselves?

My 6 year old reacts ridiculously over the top every single time she even brushes an arm or leg on something which makes it difficult to know whether an injury is genuine or not. She then obsesses over the area that’s ’hurt’ for days afterwards. It’s completely over the top and annoy to be honest 😂 Of course if…

Sex after a baby

Hey ladies I got the all clear from my doc that I can have sex again and I was wondering for those of you that have had sex after having your baby, did you do it while your baby was in the room?

Constipation since weaning

My LO has been constipated for a few weeks now. He’s 7.5 months so has been weaning for around 1.5 months. He’s been on lactulose for 2 weeks now and it helped a bit but didn’t really soften his poos that much - they’re still clay like and he still strains when trying to poop. He’s on another powder form meds to he...

Partner acts like a beached whale in the night...

Anyone else's partner? Our little girl is breastfed so it's me who does the night feeds and wake ups.

Duvet goes up in the air, pillows get flipped, turned sideways, thro...

Yesterday we went back to a nap and were back to hour long wake ups through the night. Surely we can’t be ready to drop naps...

What do I do? 😫 how do you get a toddler to sleep?

My two year old has only ever gone to sleep while nursing. I’ve been planning to night wean but have no idea how to go about it but my issue is tonight.
