Heartbroken

I was exhausted yesterday. So I gave 2 month old baby to my husband who was also exhausted after coming home from work. We sleep in separate beds right now so that we can get some rest while the other watches baby. Well… somehow he kept her asleep for 10 hours. She’s never gone more than 3-4 hours without feeding....

Advice please mamas!

What do I do now? Ideas/advice please?

We have two kids and expecting our third. Me and my partner have been having issues for a while, the same argument every single time.

She will not settle and is up most of the night on my boob. She won’t take a bottle...

Childcare

What is everyone doing for childcare? I have been on wait lists since 2023 and am still being told that the centres I’ve applied for are full for 2025/2026. I was not expecting this and need to return to work in April. I live in Burlington Ontario and have even applied outside of my town. Any ideas would be very app...

I feel like I’m unattractive when husband looks at other women

When we have sex it seems to me like he’s closing his eyes to imagine other women so he can come. I say this because I tell him to keep the lights on and then he says it’s ok let’s switch it off… I want to be intimate so I go with his flow. He looks at other women secretly and when I gaze over at his phone and catch...

Birthday gift ideas

Hi everyone, my little one is turning one soon and I just don’t know what to get him for his birthday. I wanted to get him something bigger like a rocking horse or an activity table because he loves standing up. But a rocking horse takes so much space and the activity tables that I’ve found don’t excite me that much...

Pre prepared fruit?

I've just bought Watermelon slices (the size for safe BLW) because there's no way we'd eat an entire Watermelon, but I got home and started wondering if pre prepared fruit (its in date ofc and I'll try it first) is safe to give babies?
