Does anyone know if I can put my baby’s name down for multiple nurses then decide closer to the time ? This is because I don’t know where I will live the area can be up to 2 hours apart & I don’t know what hours or days

Hi! Is there someone in here that feels their privacy is being violated every time in-laws are involved? I know they're "family" but it's just that my peace is being gone every single time. How do you do it? For the record, i dont have a relationship with them. I cut my communication before giving birth. I remained ...

He isn't potty trained yet. He will be 2 on May 27th. He usually fills up his nappy.

My fiancé really keeps saying if I don’t want to continue to be overstimulated and doing everything for the baby by myself I should put her up for adoption. Let’s not even take into account I have 3 children from my previous marriage that I have been raising on my own. Our child together is his first biological chil...

The title pretty much sums it up. What are some meals you suggest to feed a 9month old to help them gain weight. So far he's gotten sick every time I've tried to add avocado oil in his food.

my son is almost 4, but he hardly poops 😫 any snacks with fiber yall recommend? or anything else i can help him poop more regularly 🥺 i’ve yet to potty train him to poop in the toilet but it’s hard since he barely poops 😭

Looking for some advice from other new mummas.. I had baby a week ago today via c section and was completely surprised when I was in the recovery room and my partner advised me his dad was waiting outside in the car park, desperate to come in. He was asking to come in before we had even been given the clear from r...

Why would my baby daddy ask me to buy him some food for dinner and not his girlfriend? He asked me to buy him food because he had no money in his account and had not been paid yet. And that there were no groceries in their apartment. I guess I’m just confused on why he’s asking me and not his girlfriend. Any th...

Is anyone up for creating a weekly walk/get together ? I’m back on my second maternity leave and would love to start play dates again! I get how tough it is to put yourself out there and always thought it was easier in a group!

I want to be clear, this is not to bash my husband and is not weaponized incompetence, he’s just a human with ADHD. I just can’t 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ in front of him because it feels mean. Today is our 5yo’s birthday and my husband posted a happy birthday message on social media with a reel of pictures…

So my toddler is about to be 3 next month and she is in an imaginative stage. I’m a SAHM and she wants to pretend play and because I’m so exhausted all the time (and honestly depressed af) I cannot work up the energy to be imaginative. I do take the time out but it’s really hard and I mostly say I can’t rn. Every ti...

I’m a first time mom so I’m figuring everything out at the next stages of her life. Her pediatrician said she can start eating solids at 4 and a half months. Has anyone had this? Or heard of this? I was shocked and thought this is too young…

Does anyone have any recommendations for affordable daycares here in Tampa? This is my first baby and I’ve only lived here a couple years but don’t know any people here with kids so I don’t have connections to ask. I’m also a student so it’d really help to know about the flexibility of the center’s hours.

My baby is 6 months this week and I want to start homemade purées. This may be a dumb question (I’m a first time mom) but if I prepare for example carrot purées should I feed it warm or cold to my baby? What do you all do?

I'm not usually one for violence but I told my kids that if anyone hits them on purpose they are allow to hit back. I know, oh but we shouldn't condone violence but I swear some people's kids are asking for it.

My little one has just turned 5 months old. She can sit up unaided though is wobbly and can sit comfortably in her high chair. She’s on 6oz milk every couple of hours but never seems fully satisfied, though she doesn’t drink more milk in one sitting when offered. NHS advice on weaning is to wait until 6 months. Bu...

Anyone else have issues getting their teen boy to wash themselves. It’s a battle for us to get our 13 yr old to have a bath and even then we have to keep telling him to actually wash himself. He will go as long as he can without washing his hair (he puts products in it that seem to be damaging his hair) I am worried...

Hi everyone! I was wondering if any of you would be interested in doing a casual walk around Dos Lagos. I've been meaning to go take a little stroller walk around the lake there. I was wondering if anybody would be interested in joining. :)

My daughter is days away from 8 months and we’re still on purées. I’ll give her a banana in a fruit feeder and even that makes her gag! I’m terrified to try more. Gagging and choking is my biggest fear. I’m on solid starts but even that makes me feel crazy. Gave her an orange the other day, gagged! I know gagging is...

Today we had a four month check-in at the paediatrician and he mentioned that we should start introducing solid foods to my baby not for nutritional purposes but just to introduce him has anyone else been advised to do this? All of the stuff I say Online is to say wait until the six months old 🫣
