Community Posts, Tips & Support on Toddler & Child

I’ve been feeling a bit stressed lately by what I see on social media about what my almost one-year-old “should” be doing.

What's the process of applying to schools for our June 22 babies? Do we receive some sort of communication to start the process? When do we start going to school open days and actually applying etc? FTM and got no idea how it all works!

May sound like a stupid question but no one tells you about this weaning crack. What way would you work giving them dinner if their bedtime is 7.30? Would you do bottle, dinner, bed ?

We do training underwear during the day and she’s going pretty good with pee but we are yet to get a poo in the potty. My question though is about night time and nap time. My girl i...

I'm just wondering if anyone else is in the same boat. I'm exclusively breastfeeding and I have no desire to do anything sexual. I'm exhausted and always busy with baby.
