Can you all give me some toy inspo for my 1 year old? Seems like he’s grown bored of all his ☹️

Has anyone ever taken their baby (or previous baby) abroad, when they're under the age of 1? Did you go for a week or longer? What do you do about food if they are not BLW? What are your top tips? What about sleeping/night schedule. Do you follow the same as home.

Hi all! My LG has had no screen time since she was born and next year we will start to introduce short periods of her watching tv. I have seen a lot of conversation around certain programmes that are negative for children such as coco melon. If you could please help and confirm what programmes you would be ok wit...

For example a cartoon on YouTube which looks fine and innocent but then you find out it’s gory in some parts

Just fyi he has done nothing more than punch, kick, hit, and push his brother and has never ever left a bruise. Most of the time little brother is fighting with him or trying to make him mad. (Btw asking an opinion because this is whats happening to one of my step kids. His mom thinks hes dangerous but he has never ...

What hobbies do you moms have? I started gaming 2 months ago. I have a bad habit of being completely obsessed with something and then I’ll just stop. I hope it isn’t the case with this. I feel like I’ve lost myself.

My lg is just getting the hang of copying the actions and it’s too cute 🥹 so looking for ideas for more songs 😂 so far our favourite are “slippery fish”, “wind the bobbin up” & “one finger, one finger turn turn turn” She likes to sing twinkle twinkle and Incy wincy but doesn’t seem too interested in the actions for…

My 3 month old is awake a lot during the day and I have no idea what to do with him. It seems like he wants to be entertained all the time, and I’m running out of energy / ideas. He’ll watch the mobile in his crib for ~20 minutes at a time throughout the day, but that’s the only solo activity he enjoys. He has a tum...

Hi mums When your Lo is watching shows on tv/tab what do you usually put on? Do you put up shows on YouTube or something else? I’m just being increasingly conscious about YouTube. Although little one is still not handling on her own but YouTube can really come up with crazy contents or ads. Any suggestions? Thanks

What have you got your babies? Anyone that can share ideas that are developmentally appropriate

Anyone got their toddler a trampoline and they have actually used it? Unsure whether he will use it if I get it for Xmas

My girl is turning 5 on the 10th January & want to take her somewhere for the day but everything seems to shut after busy Xmas period looked at CBeebies land, Paulton park, Legoland but all shut 😩 anyone know any good places that are open? We live in south west but happy to travel & make a weekend of it. TIA

Hi, my daughters been coming home from school displaying some very strange behaviour she was falling to the ground almost like she was pretending to be drunk saying ‘I’m so high’ she then has been swearing using words I’ve never used before and that are appalling when I’ve questioned her about this she keeps on ment...

Has anyone had issues with their baby and dancing fruits on YouTube? It’s all my daughter wants to watch now and I want to get her away from this and playing with toys but she doesn’t seem to want to play or interact with anything I try

No judgment please. But how much screen time does your LO has a day? Do they have a tablet of their own? Mine watched tv about 1.5 hours a day while I cook lunch and dinner.

So what age do you guys think is appropriate for a kid to have a tablet for controlled tv time for example, like at family events when they are extremely tired or in a car what’s your opinion?

What’s everyone getting older boys around 11/12. I have no idea what to get my nephew. He wants super expensive stuff but his parents told me no 😂 so any options please 🙏🏽

Hi so we've not been big on buying lots of unnecessary toys and my LG has been totally fine & is doing great. I feel as if I need to invest in some interactive toys now - she's not had many ! What toys focussed on learning would you recommend. I am a SAHM & need a few which she can get on with by herself for 15 mi...

What do you do with your 15 month old, if your a stay at home mum?

We are doing a small 1st birthday party with few friends. Could I tell them that we prefer no toys as presents? Could I suggest a local playground voucher as idea? Does it sound bad or what ideas I could provide? We don't want to suggest anything expensive but we would like to avoid to have the house full or the sam...
