My LG (only child) is 4 and does not play independently, I’d go as far as saying at all. We have the odd 5/10 minute intervals where she will but it’s a rarity. Now I’m fully aware it’s probably the only child aspect but does anyone have any advice on how I can promote independent play? Thanks in advance from a very...

What are you all doing with your babys? I am struggling to keep her occupied and feel like i’m not doing enough. She has reflux so we keep her upright in the bouncer for half hour after feeds.

Has anyone gone away on long haul flights with their toddlers. I’m talking over 8 hours flight. One way is a daytime flight which is 10 hours and back is night time 9 hours.

My husband, my nearly 4 months old and I are traveling to Crete on Tuesday for 4 days for my brother-in-law's wedding. If it was for any other reason we wouldn't be going. It's going to be super hot and there will be mozzies. I suddenly got uncontrollably anxious on Friday and it just won't go away. I'm worried my...

My LG is 9 weeks old and I’m struggling to find things to do with her. We do tummy time, we have little chats/sing songs and go to a few baby classes through the week but I find myself just sitting around with her not knowing what to do. We have some toys but she isn’t really interested in them yet. She doesn’t slee...

Anyone else’s LO obsessed with switches? 😩 I bought the safety plug covers but still worried about him playing with them. He can switch them on/off all day if he wanted to but I constantly move him then he escapes to another room to do it there

What does your routine look like? I have a 3.5 year old, she goes to nursery part time and I feel like we have nailed those days. But on the days she is home with me, I’m not sure how to structure the day… what do your routines look like?

Hey y’all just looking into some advice… Because of caring for the household, my 2 year old toddler and work, I have gotten little to nothing done for the new arrival.

What are we getting for our two year olds? I need ideas

What age were your little ones if you've been to Disney on Ice? My little one is obsessed with Disney songs (hates the movies.. just the songs aha) and I would love to take her but I'm just wondering if she might be a bit too little still so would love to hear the average age!

Hey everyone! I just want to share our awesome experience at Naydenov gymnastics with their mommy and me classes. They are so thoughtful and they always encourage my daughter to do everything and don’t get mad at her for when she says no. We did another mommy and me class at Northpointe and it was not the same exper...

Can anyone recommend any reasonably priced halloween or Christmas events for young kids?

I am struggling to actually meet other moms on this app (or anywhere else haha). Is there anyone who would like to go for a walk in a park today or tomorrow? I have a three month old baby girl 🙂 We live near Luton, but happy to travel to any park
