Hi!! Does anyone know if we’re allowed to give babies bone broth? I know it’s great health benefits for adults and looking for a stock to heat chicken and food previously frozen. My HV suggested using gravy but unsure of the salt content. My son is nearly 8 months old. Thanks in advance

So my husband’s mom is always saying she’s going to come over to be with the kids, but she never does. Like she literally voluntarily says she will ...

I feel so concerned because we just cannot get potty training right. We have been trying since Easter time and had three really big tries with no nappies, charts, stickers the lot. Each time has gotten worse. I feel like such a failure and lost all confidence and feel it will never happen now. ☹️

me and my husband have been thinking for a while now to have a second child. We have a beautiful 4y old daughter that started school in September .

I’ve never had a break in 19 month every nap and bedtime I’ve done every appointment I’ve taken my child too my baby partner has never gi...

My baby got approval from her ped to start solids and I’d like to start them too to reduce the likelihood of allergies. Solid starts though and BLW seems to be better started at 6 months so I’m curious for those who started solids before, did you stick to thin purées only? Or how did you do it?

Child and husband free for the first time in months. Do I deep clean the house or go to sleep?🤣

When did you increase to 2 meals?

How do I get my kids to do anything other than screens? They're going to be 4 and 2 in March and anytime I try to set up and do any sort of craft or something not involving screens, it's just turns into someone screaming or them fighting or screaming because it's over after screaming about having to share. Either wa...

My 2 year old doesn’t play independently for very long and my 5 month old only has 30 min naps every 3 hours until bedtime. I’ll play with tod...

My LO is 9 months and has completely stopped eating her meals, which she usually had 3 times a day. I have to tiny bit force feed her throughout the day extremely patiently and then she would finish that one meal which she ate within 40 mins. Also, her milk intake has reduced significantly too, she use to do 3-4 bo...
