Going out alone with your babies

Hello Moms! I was wondering if any of y’all are scared to go out alone with your babies? Even if it’s a small stroller ride? I get so scared walking alone with my daughter even if it’s down the block to grab some coffee :/ I have to wait for my husband to come home to go out just because of how scary the world is now.

Solar System Suggestions 🪐

My 20 month old loves the planets, the sun, and stars, so I want to get her something to properly learn the solar system for xmas or for her 2nd bday! I prefer real or realistic images over the cartoony ones, does anyone have something they can recommend? Open to books, toys, etc :)

Going out with 2 kids

For anyone with a 2.5 year old and a small baby, how do you spend your days? My 2.5 year old goes nursery 3 days but I'm stuck on what to do the other 2 days without my husband. I feel scared to go anywhere because I'm worried my eldest will just be hard work, but would like to do more. Any advice would be welcome!

Anyone have any suggestions on something special I could get my sister-in-law who is due soon and really missing her dad who passed away a couple years ago? She’s feeling sad right now and wishes he was going to be here to meet the baby. I want to do something for her. 😞

iCloud question

So I have iCloud set up for my daughter’s iPhone (which I hate that she even has but my partner made a deal with her and she got it for her bday) It includes restrictions & downtime. I have only allowed 4 apps to be used even if the downtime is on. But somehow she is still able to get onto messenger kids and othe...

Baby massage class

Hi everyone. Has any of you done/ doing the baby massage classes that your health visitor refers you to? If so, what do you need to take with you? We start the class tomorrow and have been booked on it at the last second and never thought to ask what I need to take with us.

How am I supposed to spend a whole day with my kids...

That doesn't revolve around candy and television?! It shouldn't be this hard! But that's all they ever want - nothing else i offer (that doesn't involve spending lots and/or property damage) is ever good enough! My kids are 4, 2 and 0 and there's a blizzard outside.

Walking - Shoe Recommendations

Hi. Gabs has been walking for a few months now. Got him some sock shoes but they slip off in the park. Got him some Clarks ones but they are too chunky! He’s a size 5.5 (big I know) and some first walkers don’t go up to this size! Please share your recommendations for outdoor shoes 🩷

Europe it not a country

Does it get on your nerves when Americans say they want to go to “Europe”? Like Europe is a whole continent and has 44 countries, which country specifically are you talking about? I would never say “oh I wanna go to America”, like no. I’d say, I wanna go to the USA (or the specific state) or I wanna go to Brazil, etc…
