Does anyone know of any firework displays that happen slightly earlier in the evening?

I really want my little boy to see a proper display but he also really struggles to stay up past his bedtime which is at 8 and I've seen a few places advertising fireworks for 7:45!

DADS ATTENDING BABY CLASSES

Can we normalise dad’s attending baby classes? My husband won’t go because all of the wording on the websites say ‘mother and baby’ and he’s worried that he will be the only dad there. It’s sad because he’s missing out on all this bonding time. 😢

Mexico with 1 year old

Hi! We’re taking our just-turned 1 year old to Mexico for two weeks next week. I firstly wondered if anyone had any general tips about long-haul flights, airport, what to pack, food & cows milk, etc etc. But also any holiday-specific recommended buys! Like things for the pool or sea. Thank you in advance!

Would you travel to a child free wedding and leave your kids overnight with a sitter?

One of my best friends is getting married but no kids are allowed. I declined the invite cuz wedding is a 3hr drive oneway.

My daughter is now 9 weeks and 2 days old, so she is a little more interactive than before, though this is still the early stages. During the day I mostly sit with her on the sofa watching TV as I don't get enough sleep and thus am very low on energy. I do however try and interact with her and put her in her plaype...
