Hi. I'm looking for recommendations for some toys for my 7 month old. She likes activity cubes and building blocks and instruments but she definitely prefers more interactive toys too (e.g. with lights and sounds). We do lots of tummy time, water play and I put things in trays as sensory for her to feel but I feel l...

If so which

I can’t decide whether to get my daughter a balance bike for Christmas or maybe wait until her 3rd bday and get her a small bike with stabilisers, she already has a scooter and trike and loves them just not sure what would be best what age do balance bikes usually last them until?😊

Hey ladies, am just looking ahead to Christmas (😬😬) and wondering if your little ones have any must have toys/ books/ games etc that they can’t be without? Thank you!x

Hi mums, my little boy is 10months old, he has so many age appropriate toys but never plays with them, he will maybe entertain some for about 5minutes then is back to wrecking lol.. he is up on his feet and is so interested in things around him which is amazing, but he would much rather try and get phones, keys, rem...

My partner has a work event at the NEC, I’m thinking of joining with my 20 month old but we’ll have to find stuff to do in the daytime. I don’t drive unfortunately. Is there anything nearby that would keep me and my toddler busy for a few hours (ideally!)? He’s very active so cinema wouldn’t work! I’ve seen there’s ...

I need gift ideas for a 2 year old boy! He's in my daughters daycare and we have been invited to his birthday party this weekend and I have no idea what to get him! Because we don't really know them I'd like to not spend so much but would still like to get something he'd enjoy. Any ideas are helpful!

Me and my partner are looking at Christmas holidays and thought with it being our last we would go big. So we have been looking at Chicago, from the UK, so that’s a 9hour flight. How were others at the 23/24 week? Am I silly for going or nothing to worry about it?

I feel like I don’t know what to do with my little boy during the day in his wake windows. How do you entertain a 2 month old 🤣

Hi everyone! I have a 19 month old boy who is obsessed with cars and just running riot! I’m trying to find ways to entertain him, we’ve attempted painting/drawing not bothered at all! I thought it would be nice bonding for us to create some creative seasonal crafts but he hates anything on his hands and just cries s...

Anyone else not enjoying structured classes as much. Finding this age really hard when the structured classes move from one activity to another, pulling out props for 10 minutes for kids to play with then forcing them to "tidy them away" for the next thing. It was so much easier as with a baby whose attention span w...

I hope this doesn’t sound silly, I have a 5 week old and my day just feels like I’m in a blur of breast feeding, burping and him sleeping on me all day unless I have a visitor over to break it up a bit. What do people do all day with their babies at this age?

Very conscious that my baby is growing up sooo fast and dont want to miss a thing, any ideas for creative keepsake ideas or activities? Please share yours if youve made any keepsakes

My November baby seems to have out grown all of her toys and doesn’t seem to play with anything other than her doll and teddies. What toys do your little ones like at this age or activities that keep them occupied when at home on rainy days?

Hi mommas !! Just wanted to ask is it okay to take my 7 month old to a pumpkin patchh, six flags, Disney or any other outings???

Hi looking for a class that I can go to of a morning with my 16 month old has anyone got any recommendations ? It would be a Monday, wednsday or a Friday morning if possible

I work from home and often times on my laptop. Because my 8months old baby girl is always wanting to be around me, it’s becoming hard for me to keep her off screens which I always said I’d do my best to prevent her from, at least till a decent age. I let her watch Ms Rachel 10mins a day but recently I turn it on so ...
