Help please... My daughter will be 3 next month and I'm currently going through a separation with her dad. He has forced us to move back into my mums house (nanny's house) and my daughter is struggling as she's been in the same house for her whole life. So my first question is how on earth do I help her through thi...

Hi mums, my daughter is 11 weeks and running out of ideas to keep her entertained. We do tummy time, dancing, nursery rhymes, talking to her, sensory cards. What else do you do??? Any particular toys that your little one loves? Thanks in advance

I’m quite upset with my MIL and the moment due to her disrespecting my directions with my LO’s diet and just want to know if I’m overreacting. My LO’s diet is very important to me and since we started solids I have put so much time, energy, love and money into making sure he has eaten the right things. I am particu...

Can anyone help me with food, in any way, I keep trying to leave but I can't bc I can't push a stroller and carry food from food banks whilst tending to a teething raging 5 month old. Boyfriend is job hunting all day running around trying to get essentials like toilet paper, soaps and baby stuff so please don't comm...

12 month old has had this on his mouth for about 5 days now.

I guess no moms saw my post about the reading literacy of children… But, what’s your views on a teacher recording a child in the classroom? Letting a child play in teacher’s hair? and God knows what else… Personally I would rather a teacher contact me or include in the rubric that he or she will be posting my ki...

Hey ladies, I need some real advice :( Has anyone else's relationship with their husband really suffered since the birth of their child. I'm currently 6.5 weeks pp with our first child, and it seems like it's just stress day in and day out. I'm still on Maternity leave while my husband is back at his job, so I lite...

I go back to work in August and both me and my partner both work shifts and finding childcare is working out to be a nightmare 😭 does anyone have an experience or advice? I reckon nursery is off the table due to needing set days.

So my husband has decided he doesn’t love me anymore and is leaving. He moved out 2 weeks ago. My question is do I need to get him something for Father’s Day off my 13 month old? I’m not sure if I’d expect him to do the same for me on Mother’s Day?

Pleaseeeeee give me ideas to help me keep my 2 year old entertained. I am not super creative and he’s getting bored of coloring everyday :(

Does anyone have a self feeding baby? I wonder how you guys manage having a baby eating in a restaurant? She is a messy eater, and we barely sit in to have a meal. I feel awful making a mess in the restaurant but baby also needs to eat.

I want more kids so badly but I am the only one that takes care of the current one. My husband will say tell me when you need help but I shouldn’t have to tell him anything he should want to help. I take care of her all day and all night run on little sleep. My whole pregnancy was hard and my postpartum also been so...

Want to give my 8 month old chicken tonight but unsure how to give it to him. We do a mixture of blw and me feeding him. Any ideas?

My daughter is 3 months old today. Tomorrow we are having a cookout with family we haven't seen in awhile. The weather says it'll be 74 and partly cloudy will that be alright to take her outside? Or should I wait till the sun is down a little?

Can anyone please help me with suggestions of how to get my husband to be more vigilant with baby safety? He's a great dad but doesn't think and our LO is going to get hurt. Leaving doors and baby gates open, cups of coffee on the side which have been pulled off the edge (luckily had cooled), glass pint of water lef...

My son loved his fruit. And would devour it. These past couple days he’s started to refuse to eat it! Monday-Wednesday he was fine loving it then from Thursday onwards he’s just throwing it, when I try to encourage him to eat it he’d just clench his teeth and lips together 🤦🏻‍♀️ is there a reason he’d be doing…

Anyone else struggling in their relationship? I don't want a broken family but there just doesn't seem to be anything there. He doesn't hug me or anything. I couldn't tell you the last time there was any s*x. Am I over thinking or is this normal when you have a 1 year old together. Mentally struggling

I have major mum guilt. I've just shouted at my son and pushed him off me (only onto the sofa next to where I'm sat) as he will not stop climbing on me. It's constant and I feel it's really draining. His dad is always working - 6 days a week, so it's always my son and I, and he just won't stop climbing on me any tim...

Over the last week I’ve been in hospital as I was getting induced, stayed for 4 nights and ended up having an emergency C section. Stayed another night after the section and then back home. The first night back home we got settled and my partner decided to go to the pub for an hour. I just instantly started crying...

My husbands cousin & wife show up on our door for vacation as soon as we get back from 6 days in the desert. Unplanned, at random. I am so incredibly annoyed with my husband for extending our living room (we don’t even have space for them in a 1 bedroom) to them on a whim …for an unknown duration of time. I’m 5.5 mo...
