This is mine. Just interested to see what everybody else’s is. I don’t know whether he’s got too many things out/it’s overwhelming. He’s had this set up since he was 6 months old but he just seems quite bored of it. Maybe it’s just an age thing or maybe now he’s crawling around everywhere, he’s more interested in go...

I am a stay at home Mom to seven month old boy. I have ADHD and consistently need noise the TV on something I don’t want my son to watch inappropriate thing so I try to limit what I watch when he’s awake but I still need the noise we watch a lot of Super Simple Songs and I love it. He honestly doesn’t pay much atten...

We have just booked our first holiday and would like to know from other mums who have been abroad.. what things did you take on the plane to keep your little one busy? Thanks ☺️

What do you do at home with your LO? Do you replicate the nursery activities at home e.g. baking with kid, painting, colouring, sand play, etc? We usually just do puzzles or run around or play with other toys. I don't let him cut veggies etc for example. I wonder if I should be doing more?

I'm terrible and my kid doesn't have a schedule and he's 19 months old. I do at least attempt an earlier bedtime than it used to be .... But it still takes a decent bit usually ,, well, some... Depends on how the day has been I will respond with relevant details as to what we can and cannot or are not developmen...

We are looking to go on holiday around May time, me, partner and LO. He’s a 30th November baby so will be 17 months. Looking for ideas of somewhere to go. He’s walking (started at 11 months - eeek), so far have been looking at Parkdean as they do ‘tots holiday’ where there is a lot in for toddlers. Also thinking Hav...

To court ordered that he gets one day in the week and alternate weekend but I have a trip booked to see family for two weeks and obviously that means he wouldn’t be able to see her. I’ve told him this and he said no I can’t go because of it interfering with his time he says if I go, he would just go back to the cour...

Heyy Oregon mamas! I’m new to the state and live in the southern part of a Oregon and I’m wondering what yall do on these real snowy days when you can’t really take your littles to the park/outside? We’re from San Francisco so this is our first snowy winter

My 11 month old has so many toys that make noise and he loves them all and often has all of them going at one time (music, songs, animal noises, etc..) 😅 What’s the best way to deal with this? Rotate the toys and maybe only have two noisy toys out at a time? I also don’t want him to be bored by toys that don’t…

Hi mamas! I’m planning my baby girls first birthday and this might sounds so silly but I’m struggling with what to do for entertainment for her party. It will be at our house and most of the babies coming are her age or younger (minus 4 older cousins). Is a bounce house necessary? Or what should I plan for entertain...

Anyone have any sweet recommendations for boys books? It may sound silly but I bought so many lovely little girls books aimed at empowering her, books on famous girls in science, books on being you etc. She loves them but I’m struggling to find ones for her baby brother. Any suggestions? Photo of my girl’s librar...

At what age, did anyone let their little ones watch TV or even YouTube videos? Husband wants to wait until he's a little over two years old and I'm willing to do whatever is best for our son. Content is the ms. Rachel show for asl. Any recommendations or advice would be grateful and thank you a head of time

My daughter is obsessed with jumping, climbing and being active. I was thinking of getting a small outdoor trampoline or playground for her 2nd birthday. Does anyone have any recommendations? Thank you mommas!

Nervous about taking baby on a vacation because of travel fear with the LO but I think we all need a break. Baby is 5 months but thinking of planning something before 1 yr old. What was your first travel experience with baby and what would you have done differently?

Hey. I'm looking for ideas for days out for my boys' 1st birthday.

Yes I’m super early thinking of this. What are we putting in Easter eggs for smaller toddlers? My 3yr old loved it last year so I know he will be into egg hunting this year but I also have a 1yr old who copies everything he does I don’t want a ton of a random tiny toys laying around and definitely don’t want Hallo...

How are we keeping our 6/7 month olds entertained for long? My baby just turned 7 months and his attention span is like 2 mins max 😭 he gets bored of any activity/ toy so quickly. The whole wake window is spent moving him from one spot to the next spot or from one toy to the next toy. I'm seriously running out of…

What toys do your little boys love to play with? Feel like I need a toy refresh or he’s just not interested in toys but real life things!?

Usually my 3 years old son is not into hitting. Even when his 5yrs old cousin hit him while play, he doesn’t give her back. But today his school teacher told me that he is hitting her. I was shocked to know that and at the same time in dilemma that how to make him understand that he shouldn’t hit anyone and hitting ...

Can I have some examples of your routines please? My little girl needs a new routine
